  1. Every school should have someone at the gate checking that all drivers have a valid drivers license, everyone is wearing a helmet and no more than two people on a bike
  2. As far as I know the 2 door pickups are limited to 2 people, no one in the backseat. Maybe someone with a 2 door pickup can confirm this by by looking in their Blue Book where it clearly states how many people the vehicle can carry. And this number should apply to people on the truck bed as well.
  3. Do they ever look at what laws they already have on their books? ROAD TRAFFIC ACT, B.E. 2522 (1979).1 Section 123.24 No driver of vehicle shall allow more than two other persons to sit on the front row seat next to the driver. The driver of vehicle must fasten up his or her body with seatbelt while driving, and must render the passenger sitting on the front row seat next to the driver to fasten up his or her body with seat belt while traveling. And the passenger traveling in such conveyance must also fasten up his or her body with seat belt. As for backseats in a pick-up I'm pretty sure you are not allowed to use the backseat in a 2 door pick-up, especially if it has a business registration. It is clearly stated in the Blue Book how many persons the car is registered for. Would be interesting if someone with a 2 door pick-up could check their blue book and let us know.
  4. I prefer to live in a condo that ban animals compared to a house surrounded by other houses with noisy dogs that you can do nothing about. Most condo rules are there to make it nicer to live in the condo and they have been voted in by a majority of the condo owners. You are not living under the thumb of regulations, you are enjoying the environment the regulations create. Lesson to learn is to read the regulations before buying or renting. Don,t buy in to a condo that bans pets if you want to have a pet.
  5. The fine was 500Baht per day from when he was given notice. He then kept the pet and have been fighting it in the court for about 9 months, adding 500Baht fine a day to a total of 140,000Baht plus lawyers fees .
  6. Technically the captain of the vessel is responsible for what is going on. If he took a tourist on an illegal fishing trip he is the culprit not the tourist just because he is a foreigner.
  7. Maybe not but with 30,000 people killed and hundred of thousands injured in traffic in Thailand every year someone should take it seriously. Child seats and safety belts save lives. Blacked out windscreens kills, especially night time.
  8. To black out car windows to avoid being caught not wearing seat belts should not be an option as the level of blackout is restricted by law, but as usual, here in Thailand, not enforced. As far as I can remember you are not allowed to black out front or rear windscreens and only minimal blackout is allowed on the sides. Over 90% of cars have illegal amount of blackout. I have seen tons of child car seats in second hand stores for next to nothing.
  9. How are you going to stop corruption if you have defamation laws that will bankrupt anyone that say anything bad about anyone, even if it is true ??? They must scrap or re-write the defamation law and give whistle blower protection if they ever want to get rid of the rampant corruption that exist in Thailand.
  10. Lots of lasers at Royal Varuna Yacht Club. They have a notice board there, often with lasers for sale.
  11. So you can now legally buy what used to be a controlled drug everywhere 24/7 but the sale of a bottle of beer is banned 14hrs a day. TIT
  12. Thanks all for the info, I have now changed the passport number and address on my drivers license here in Pattaya. Documents used: Passport and one copy. Drivers license and one copy Yellow book and one copy Pink ID card and one copy If you have both car and MC license you need one copy for each. If you don't have Yellow book and pink ID card you need to get Certificate of residence from Immigration. If you use the pink ID card they will put that number on your drivers license, not the passport number, so you will not have to change again every time you change passport. The process took about 45 minutes and costed about 100Baht.
  13. Same in Thailand, the info on the drivers license must be correct. I've done it before, many years ago, but would like to have recent information.
  14. I still have 4 years left on my drivers license but have a new passport and address, both different from the info on the license. How do I change this at the LTD in Pattaya. If anyone have done this recently I would appreciate if you could let me know what documents are needed. My guess would be original drivers license Passport and copy Proof of address, from Immigration or is yellow book accepted? Medical? Can you send someone to do it or do you have to be there in person for a photo? Any advice appreciated
  15. It was only about a year ago the slashed all the traffic fines by 50% ???
  16. So it happened again. Just a few years ago a similar thing destroyed beaches, reefs and fishing around koh Samet. Map Ta Phut is an ill managed cesspool of pollution of all kinds.
  17. Why don't they simply publish a list of approved ATK tests and their maximum price??
  18. Traffic accidents kill much more than corona and can be prevented by proper work by the police, but nothing is done. Corona is very hard to control but they shut down the society completely causing economical problems for the entire country. Why cant they deploy the same effort when it comes to traffic accidents?
  19. This law has been on the books for years. They should fine 500Baht immediately and scrap all these limited time campaigns, keep it up 365 days per year. After every crackdown they have had before everyone reverts to normal.
  20. Tried to book QR code certificate but keeps asking for the booking date???
  21. So if you eat food when drinking alcohol you can not get or spread covid19 ? Do they have the science to back this up or is this from the fortune teller advising the government.
