Op

Just wait till you hit a very very large pot hole that takes

one of your tyres out.

not the funnest of days.

Just hook the handlebar onto the side of the vehicle and let the bike roll along outside on its rear wheel.

That's a good idea

If it falls off , you will have to buy a new bike and pay for the repair of the guys car it went under

or pay for the hospital treatment ( rider ) and new motor cycle, that it just hit.

Not the best idea, i think

Be big photo op soon

Will be, Same Same but Same.

How these clowns ever put a police force together is beyond me!

They only pick from the cream of the crop.

You are right about the flood of Chinese money out the back door. They took a drubbing when the Chinese government encouraged everyone to play the shiny, brand new, western-style and government sanctioned local stock market and get rich quick. For a long time a lot of people did. Then when it imploded and the average Chinese investor lost the farm, they took a whole lot of heat for not educating the great unwashed that things can go up but they can also go down. I guess 'read the small print' doesn't translate too well in Mandarin. They fleeced their own people of their life's savings and are now channeling it overseas.

Well, sorry he was deceived but not sure what there is to argue about... especially in Paettaya where rumor has it there is an abundance of actual females...

I am sure he could have found someone else - no?

The Chinese are just the latest sex tourists to pattaya

give it a bit more time

Say no, not your fault.

insurance company are crap you have, ( up to you ) what an answer!!!!!!!!

He caused the accident and he dam well knows it.

This demonstrates one of the negative cultural problems in Thailand.

Thais excepting responsibility for there actions or non actions.

one day maybe

Hope you get it sorted and change insurance company, when your policy runs out

I've heard that a new council will soon be appointed.

Yes, But will be Same Same but Same.

Innocent lives just snuffed out

Stay away from mini vans, it could be you next if you use them.

No It can happen by accident

Government holiday can trip the tourist up

Simple isn't it

I have been working/visiting/living in Thailand on and off since May 1993 which is about 23 years now.

To my knowledge both mobile phones and laptops/desktops and tablets have all been supplied with an app called "calendar" for years. It is a free app and all it takes is a little bit of common sense to add 90 days to the day you arrived.

If you subtract 7 days from the date of arrival you will have several days to renew/extend/whatever your visa.

To me, if you cannot manage something that simple then you should not have left your Mummy behind in your home country as she still needs to hold your hand when you cross the road, blow your nose and wipe your arrrrrsss for you.

I am now 72 and since 1993 somehow I have never managed to overstay my visa even once.

I am sure that if I can manage it then someone half my age should find it easy.

Well give yourself a big old pat on the back.

I tend not to judge all others by my standards, but you go right ahead

72, yes, The older people get, the less tolerant they can be of others that don't measure up.

What is so hard about keeping to the rules?

Do you keep to the rules in Thailand?

It is not that I am less tolerant but I cannot understand people who simply don't believe that the rules apply to themselves.

What is so hard in following the law?

Its wasted on your type,

To long in the tooth.

Why didn't he run away?

Maybe to pissed

Hard to pinpoint with the given info. How much room did the car driver have when the motorcycle cut in front of him ? Seems to me like there is a bit of blame to be shared around here

Quite correct too

99 point 999 % to the drunken scumbag

So you say.

Don't need to be drunk to kill on the roads here. it just helps sometimes.

Him being drunk does not mean he caused the accident.

But it does mean he will be blamed.

If you drive and ride here long enough, you will know what is the true killer on the roads.

Overstay BS.

Who cares.

Some real nasty crime out there, BIB,

go sort it out, its right under your nose

I'll wager, you are the lot who complain so much about illegal aliens in your own countries. Get a grip and use that bit of mass between your ears. Overstayers are violating the law, period, no conceivable argument. Overstay is a haven for ne're-do-wells--one group may have neither the money nor the respect of law to comply and another group may be attempting to hide from something. The misinformed of you who claim overstay hurts no one, simply have no clue; the fact many overstay is one of the reasons immigration regulations and enforcement are getting tighter for all of us. Go ahead, further confuse your brain and do as your name suggests.

Ok ( Get a grip and use that bit of mass between your ears )

How come you can stay for years in Thailand on overstay, then go to the airport

pay 20,000 and leave no questions asked no black listing , no time inside, no extra fine ?

so they take this real serious,

Overstay on the streets of Pattaya, is a Dog and Pony show.

...the irony...and hypocrisy....is that hundreds of thousands come from one of the border countries.....and live...and work here....without 'standard' paperwork....

..not to mention the fortune any 'western' foreigner has to pay every year for the 'privilege' of staying here...

Tut tut, we are "guests" in this country are we not?

No, Paying customers.

Overstay: One has to be incredibly stupid or having something to hide from authorities.

I think that is quite simple.

Overstay BS.

Quite right, there is so much real crime under the BIB's noses BUT this was immigration that picked him up not RTP

Yes you right , if they only acted alone ?

but still BS.

Murderous drivers and riders of Thailand.

Stupid is stupid does.

We see this every day on the Thai roads with or with out alcohol.

same same.

Overstay BS.

Who cares.

Some real nasty crime out there, BIB,

What culture? The Opera? Theatre? The jazz scene? Ballet? Museums? Stand up comedy? Poetry? Literature?

Gold digging, Lottery numbers, lying, that's 3 negative cultural things.

I heard from a nurse that works where they operate, she said they don't chop it off as the skin is pushed back inside you to form the wall of your new fanny ... so how can that be right ? Maybe they could use one from a motorbike death, like they do with other organs ? Then there would be an endless supply of them !! You could pick out what size and color you wanted,, hehehe

Think they would pay, very big money for a Farang one.

I guess it is a fair point that I *do* hold it against chinese, arab, and russian tourists that they come here and act exactly like they do at home, but I think tourists fall in a different group altogether. The OP is talking about expats.

I think a good example of what I *think* the OP is talking about is expats wearing yellow shirts on Thai holidays. Farangs look silly in yellow .

Nah.

Yellow is ok on that special day , white shorts ok, but big non no no SOCKS and flipflops / Sandals,

that looks so bad

to much that one .

Welcome to the Muppets Show !

Not enough serious crimes in Patts that the BiB's have to waste their time on this ?

Human trafficking and underage prostitution are considered serious by a lot of people. The BIB can't be faulted for making checks.

Think Deli was rigt with Muppet show

We all care about under age girls and trafficking.

But the Bib going around mob hand is just a joke,

thats not how you catch the bad people exploiting young girls is it. ?

you do that stuff very low profile,

Its like a pantomime show in pattaya , its behind you, oh no its not, its behind you, oh no its not

Muppet show was correct.

Each was found to have the proper licenses and there was no sign of underage workers in any of them.

And no one smelled a rat???

I think they should be checking phone records.

Jesus was that a very very bad typo ( rat )
