wow, after 4 years his pockets seem to be full already. Well done, man!

I pity this young man....however to drive a motor bike in Thailand is always a risk no matter how you drive yourself. Also to travel without an insurance is insane (compare the costs of insurance with those of your whole trip). And if an accidents has happened to cry for financial help is a no go. Again, I pity him but won't donate any cent.

wow, what a splendid idea. It's a real relief for me. No dirty moat water again

It's a fact that human genes are matching in 35% with CABBAGE. I wonder if Thai drivers got more in their heads....

60%

Nonsense, lived there for 13 years without incident.

And where you live now???? 

If you visit this shit hole called Pattaya then be aware to be beaten, attacked, cheated or killed. 

Oh my God. What a crime. Women can see the upper naked part of a man. I suppose in facebook or other medias they did it before. This country is far behind the moon and any kind of reality.

In any village men are working and walking like that and nobody is embarrassed.

you can maintain the pressure or even more. You can cry, scream or whatever you want to do. There will be a time that it is forgotten as in many other cases. Greediness and grabbing is sanctioned by PM, Full stop.

Typical Thai way of driving, to be seen every day 24/7. RIP those victims

In any of those German restaurants and pubs or at home with friends

I could understand the guy. Many it pissed me off that Thais use the pavement for driving especially when the streets are jammed. However in my age I wouldn't risk a fight with a moron.

What will they do? Veto Brexit?

 

Then what?

Don't ask me. I'm not a Brit as you know. Brits have to face even the most unexpected. If there would be a hard border.....no treaty, no Brexit. Easy as that. But wait,,,,Corbyn will mend it.

Face is no doubt, the greatest form of weakness, a human can engage in. Many will say it is societal, cultural, etc. No matter. It is the absolute and complete lack of the ability to introspect, and look within for the source of any problem, shortcoming, conflict, or issue. It is the polar opposite of spirituality, and therefore an absolute scourge on Buddha, and all of the precepts he taught. By practicing face, you are denying your spiritual heritage. You are refusing to man up. To take responsibility for your actions. If a man or a woman cannot, and will not take responsibility for their actions, the problems they create, the mistakes they make, and the issues they involve themselves in, what are they? Are they still an adult? Are they a complete individual, if they allow themselves to be limited by such infinitely small social convention? 

 

Who cares what people think of you? For those of us with high self esteem, it just does not matter. Sure, close friends and family. But strangers on the street? Who gives a rat's butt about this? It means nothing what they think, nor what they say about you. They count for nothing. They are just people, and people you do not know, nor will ever see again. Face is rife with self doubt, and by subscribing to this weakness, and man or woman is made a far lesser person. For those of us with high self esteem, we know who we are. What others think, what society thinks, what a guy or gal thinks, means less than zero.

Real men or women, simply own a situation, and take responsibility for their errors or mistakes. Small men, social deviants, or emotional adolescents deflect, obfuscate, attempt to confuse, and do everything in their power to deny that they made a mistake, or that they are responsible in any way, or on any level. They make up narratives about fake news, or alternative facts. Anything to avoid looking within, for the source of the problem. Anything.

 

In "our" world I would agree 100% but Thai culture is different. To admit having made mistakes is a no go. Therefore you can blame somebody else. Maybe it has to do with self esteem. Thais have too much that they won't allow themselves to make mistakes or to fail?? Btw do you think Donald is making mistakes? Full of self esteem even. I would too much self esteem even count as weakness.

culling the Thai population.

All Thai people or only the bad ones....?

It's typical Thai way to blame somebody else. To lose face again is the obcstacle and that the govt failed to provide vets and vaccines is impossible of course

As long the Brits are not able to solve the Irish border problem the Irish will still have their VETO to the whole treaty.

And the Brits will have to follow EU rules if they want to have a trade treaty later. So where is the freedom or any slight advantage or benefit??? It's a road of stupidity and blindness

No. there is no lack at least at Makro and no leaks as well as far as I know.....

Sure he breaks the Thai law. And he knows that. No complaints please. Better stay in painting and decorating.

What is the problem? Nobody injured or died

That's pretty much OK. Who wants to sit next to a sweating fatty pig?
