Yellow card system for taxi driver complaints ... individual and company level .... if errant tourists get warned so should others.

ex-girlfriend!

Dinosaurs. Soon to be fossils.

A mishmash of information if ever there was ... least of all defining what a foreigner actually is ... my money is mainly illegal foreign workers.

I know how I view the reputation, driving habits and road attitude of Phuket minivan drivers, airport taxi and the islands tuk tuks.

Had to read it more than once to understand it ... singular, plurals and some other terms were a little confusing.

Anytime you hear a politician, anywhere, say "..but the change should be implemented gradually" .... actually means "never".

This is a litmus test for his ability to be PM. If he loses and then gets disqualified over a breach of very clear rules then he would unlikely be a capable leader to weather the ongoing onslaught of Thai politics for the next few years. If he left himself vulnerable like this at the start with all the legal advisors around him ... then it is a self-inflicted mistake. I hope not .... but you can yield no ground in this game.

Competition will eventually punch their proverbial ticket. Driverless cabs, on test and in use in other parts of the world will sort them out. No-one to intimidate or beat up. A robot on wheels powered by AI. Fast, efficient, safe and standard pricing. Sadly, it will take out a few "good guys" as well. It will be the end of the crazy van drivers as well. Two birds with one stone.

He lost his freedom the moment he took the life of another. He might not have been in prison since 2019 but his mind and every passing thought certainly has. On the run, always looking over his shoulder. No chance to meet to meet his daughter and now seemingly not in the best of health. His pigeons are coming home to roost.

Pity the UK does start the same initiative. Just add a few more colours to the already long winded operational title.

He should be smart enough to not make it "his issue" - rather a peoples issue. Draft key points and recommendations and then put it to a referendum. Let the people decide on a way forward - then he really is the peoples choice.....

Seems very hard to follow 2 simple self-imposed rules ......... 1. Get adequate insurance. 2. Don't do anything that risks breaking the insurance clause payouts ..... like riding a motor bike without a proper license and/or not wearing safety equipment .... both as required by the law .... I wish him a well in his recovery.

Hmmm ... I think I would keep any contentious political agenda like breaking the duopoly a little quiet until actually in power. There is no guarantee that Move Forward will secure leadership yet. Me thinks that the horse trading and double dealing has a long way to go and provocation is unlikely to help matters.

I think a lot of them are returning to Russia. There have been a real exodus since April.

There is trouble brewing ... no wonder the THB has lost ground rapidly.

It ain't boding too well for the cannabis supporters and trade .... most of the news are carrying consistent negative social news articles. Its a growing trend. This genie may be stuffed back into the bottle whence it came. Wait and see.

Bill 46: 100% foreign ownership of their own Thai companies

Jesus wept. Honestly, you couldn't make this stuff up. Pattaya, nuff said.

Nice touch to mention the number of condoms - 6 incase you missed this important detail....

That condo probably had the most alert security guard .... ever. Well done that man!

I looked at this business closely prior to the de-criminalisation and then again after. Not on a retail level but as commercial cultivation as a cash crop. Done right it had good potential. However, the legislation was a mess and no where close to what I understood was intended. There just too much free interpretation of the law or lack of it. Under such circumstances, better to wait for clarity. Either your investment could potentially be gone or, perhaps worse, open up to be squeezed by breaking a law. Neither were appealing as potentially worse outcomes. And no .. I don't touch the stuff - it was simply an attractive sector worth consideration and even less so now.

Throw the book at them .. assault, fleeing an accident, no helmet, no motorbike license, being an idiot.

I pause to wonder why this unfortunate kid was not in the UK getting an education vs living in a village and then allegedly and very sadly got involved in running drugs for the guy that ultimately confessed to murdering him?

Good job by the RTP for catching this guy. Bad job by the prison authorities for releasing this habitual criminal who crimes just escalated. RIP kid .... you made some bad decisions and sadly paid the ultimate price.
