If red/white means no parking and yellow/white also means no parking but you are allowed a brief stop as opposed to red/white where you are not allowed to stop.. This means red/white is no stopping, unless in an emergency. This is not a Thai rule but the same everywhere else where curb markings are used.

Stupid tuk-tuk drivers. Red-White means no stopping and Yellow-White means no parking. Anyone with a drivers license should know this.

E-cigarettes bad, marijuana is OK ???

They probably smoked fruit flavored tobacco, had they smoked cannabis they would have been OK

If laws were enforced jet skis would not be a problem. According to Thai law you need to have a Thai second class helmsman license to operate a jet ski. I doubt that any of the tourists renting the jet skis have this so the entire operation is illegal.

Just follow the traffic rules and stop using the mobile when driving. Car accidents are going up and most are caused by people using their mobile phone while driving. An amulet will do nothing, just cost you a lot of money.

I did not ask everyone but the vast majority I have talked to don't like to have them next to the swimming and sun bathing areas. The people renting out these things are constantly driving them very close to the beach to attract customers, creating noise and stinking fumes. They can be fun and practical but there should be an area well away from people that want to have a relaxing and safe time at the beach. Police conduct checks of motorbike drivers licenses all the time and people renting out a bike to someone without a motorbike license can be fined. You need a license to drive a jet ski but I have never seen anyone check anyone's license.

To use a jet ski in Thailand you need to have a valid license. All these rentals should be banned. Most people hate Jet skis, only a small percentage use them but they are annoying the majority. This is the same as renting a motor bike without a motorbike license. Many laws but no enforcement what so ever.

All soi's between 2nd road and beach road used to have sidewalks on both sides. Nearly all of these have been stolen from the City by bar and restaurant owners. The sidewalks are now incorporated in the bars/restaurants making walking around harder, less parking space and the roads more narrow.

They should go to Pattaya where 100's of meters of beach road are occupied by motorcycle rental bikes.

So basically it's OK to drink and drive and break other laws during the holidays. All these laws have been in force for many years so there should not be any leniency during the most dangerous holidays.

Now india will require negative covid test from travelers from Thailand. Indians will still come here but will probably have a think as they will probably need a negative test when returning from Thailand.

Cash next month to the Chinese triads running the Chinese tourist business here in Thailand.

They really need to test all these Chinese tourists for covid. If this is not done there is a very real risk that other countries will ban travelers from Thailand to their countries.

I thought it was illegal to feed pigeons. According to this you can be fined 25,000Baht or spend 3 months in prison. But as per usual there is no enforcement what so ever.

Why don't they enforce all the laws all the time? I assume all laws are always in force.

There are plenty of electric bikes in Pattaya but I have not seen an EBike repair shop. Any info on this for Jomtien or Pattaya?

Agree 100% . Also everyone importing and selling these illegal exhaust systems should be prosecuted. The lax system of checking vehicles before paying registration and tax could also checked.

Another stupid law that is impossible to check. How will the authorities going to check how much each home brewer is making??

Completely useless rules. Most food and drinks are prepared with raw or dried products with un-known THC/CBD concentration so the concentration in the end product will no be known. As above, what is the unit of contents: per kg, per plate, per serving, per liter, per plate??? How is this being controlled by the authorities ??? Any law that can not be controlled is useless.

So now they blame the pollution on cooler temperatures!! Burning is going on and have increased, as usual this time of the year. This is where it has been burning for the last 5 days in Thailand: https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#t:adv;d:2022-10-14..2022-10-18;@101.1,15.0,6z

What sidewalks, they have all been removed from walking street!!

It would make sense if it was a tax on rice, vegetables, eggs, pork or chicken. To delay a tax on Coca-Cola is just ridiculous.

Correct. Here is a Google translation of the original Thai document Road Traffic Act(No. 13) 2016 that superseded the 2008 Road Traffic Act: Section 43. No driver shall drive a vehicle: (9) while using a mobile phone except for using a mobile phone without the driver having to hold it or seize that mobile phone as prescribed by the National Police Commissioner.”
