  1. The Future Forward Party were removed hastily after the last election with 80 seats which was a big surprise to all . The Move Forward Party will receive the same treatment as I think they will do much better than 100 seats . It is going to be interesting thats for sure
  2. I think the go fund me situation that we see today is a modern form of insurance without having to pay premiums . If the majority of foreigners contributed when there are people in need there would be less need for very expensive insurance premiums . I would make a demand that the person in need must use a government hospital as the private hospitals are overcharging to put it politly .
  3. Degrees show that you finnish what you started and companies know that they have to train you what ever degree you obtained .
  4. I and others are not complaining about consumption . It is the price per kilowat hour that the complaints are coming from . I am currently paying with taxes 5.55 baht which is a substatial increase considering the gas price has reduced considerably . I mention gas as that is how Thailand produces electricity
  5. A number of motorcycles is hardly adding up to an amount of money to bother taking legal action . The shop they operate from is most probably rented and often the motorcycles would be owned by a finance company. A civil action would be decided by a judge , not the police . In my area when the COVID restrictions were keeping the tourists away the motorcycle hire businesses were hardly doing any business . Thais would not keep the shops busy if there business vanished because tourists were made to have a motorcycle license . I was told by a Chinese tourist before COVID that he was forced to pay extra from a rental business because he had no license . How common that practice is I have no idea . Dodgy business in my opinion.
  6. living in a dream world if you think the sole person responsible is the person renting . Problem arises if the owner has no assets .
  7. This is law in Thailand and many countries as well . Go and check it out
  8. If you own a motorcycle and lone it to someone that you have full knowledge that they have no license and worse still not any experience riding a motorcycle you could be liable for prosecution and paying compensation. That is the same for a company hiring out a motorcycle.
  9. Thank you , it will be ok next time round . I should of organised the driving test for the next day . Two lots of questions and motorbike test was more than enough for one day . Yes we all know how they are on the roads . The only reason that would drive me from the country to be honest .
  10. Have you been for a thai driving license test ? I passed my driving test on my 17th birthday in 1970 . Driven all over Europe , USA and Australia with out too many problems . But not good enough for Thailand Cant help bad luck
  11. That was very apparent at the driving test yesterday
  12. I went for a beer after my failure with foreigner that failed as well . He failed as he went through the first manouvre two times instead of once . Crazy
  13. If you say so, oh , by the way , the high way code in Thailand demands you turn the engine off when refueling
  14. If you can't work out how to position the car and use the steering wheel for putting the car where you want it forget about going too far forward .
  15. I am sure you are correct , but the social media is doing more to expose a company or a government of wrong doing .
  16. Had to wear long pants , shoes and of course a mask . I agree , very amusing experiance made more stressful wit the extreme heat
  17. Many accidents causing death on motorcycles are caused by cars and trucks being driven badly . If you cant reverse a car that speaks volumes for driving forward at what ever speed .
  18. Tough luck for the British tax payer as well. That is why society makes rules to avoid that happening .
  19. We all must take responsability for our actions but if they do not the society has to pay through the nose for there folly . Hence the need for making a motorcycle hire business be sure the renter has a license .
  20. That should be the case for sure .Refuse to pay until you see an itemised invoice .
  21. I took a driving test in Thailand very recently and now I can see why there is so much bad driving in the country . First was the written exam where you choose one of four answers . That was very easy and completed two sets of 50 questions . One for a car license and the second for a motorcycle license . I completed both in around 40 minutes and passed . Motorcycle test was a ball of confusion as there is no explanation in english . Just follow the other guy says the man in charge . That all went well thankfully although rather stressed about the whole business on a very hot afternoon . Then came the driving test in the car and it was very confusing what was happening . I was watching many reverse parking and i can say with confidence i would not give one of the many i witnessed a license . If a person is allowed out on the roads with the ability that they showed when reversing i can well understand why there is so many deaths on the roads in Thailand . I failed my test because i went over two parallel white lines in the road when stopping . OK , very dumb of me ,but i have seen that most thai drivers place the back wheels on the stop line when stopping . Have a new try in a few days at the driving test that is instrumental in so many deaths on the roads .
