  1. The mindlessness shamelessness and lack of integrity leads to the action of a plastic bag, into another plastic bag ,yet another ...without a second thought..absolutely no guilt .I doubt their is another nation that abuses plastics on this level with this lack of careing..pathetic

    In my opinion, there is nothing wrong by using plastic bags,but it is wrong to throw them in the water. There are different options to recycle plastic.

  2. I would say some don't want you here. Some want you here. Most don't care. 
     
    I'm Canadian too. I was shocked when in the first month here (5-6 years ago) a taxi driver told me to go back to my country. I was sure he was joking but he was not. I never met this kind of taxi driver again. Some driver told me instead to stay away from bargirl since there is plenty of less troublesome girl in Thailand and I listened to them. [emoji846]

    I had exactly the same taxi-driver-experience. I told him that, if all taxi drivers were like him, I would for sure go back!

  3. Sir, no one stops at zebra crossings here in TH and a person have to push himself infront of vehicles. Then there are reluctant brakes. 
     
    BKK needs more women like that [emoji123]

    I know, I live here more than 20y, that’s why I know such behaviour is not well accepted, the attitude of Thai people is to avoid confrontation rather than instigate it. I have sympathy for her stance, but I would not recommend this to my friends. There are other ways to achieve the same and honestly, since the sidewalk driving is actually fined,it did decrease a lot.

  4. From what I have heard they want to eliminate smoking completely by increasing tax so much that most won't be able to afford to smoke.
    They will replace the state income from Tobacco with Medical Cannabis.
    This will take a few years to build up but when that happens I guess they don't want people changing over to E-Cigs either.

    What pleasure is there in medical cannabis?

  5. I don’t think it is a surprise that 99% of tested samples for export are negative. As far as I know all arrivals at country of destination are tested again before being released. The problem are food products for local market as they escape random testing. We don’t want the pesticides but we also don’t want the fruits and vegetables as we knew them when we were kids. GMO would help a lot but unfortunately many countries still see this as a health threat.

  6. If immigration wants/ needs to know where I reside and when, it is their country and their law.

    But it is for me impossible to comply. Typical week for me

    - Saturday/ Sunday at my condo Bangkok

    - Monday Vietnam back Tuesday

    - Wednesday Phuket back Friday.

    Online system doesn’t work..

    Condo is on the name of my wife (married in Thailand) so she has to report TM30 although legally we own property 50/50?

  7. Speeding is a problem for me, I will burn through my 12 points within one year. What is the mechanism to get new points? They mention suspension 90 days etc.. but what after? Get again 12 points?
    Who will loose the points? The driver or the owner? How an automatic speed camera can determine who was driving?
    When you get a automatically generated speeding fine there is already a space for indicating the points lost and balance. But what if my GF was driving??

  8. I was smoking and drinking until my body couldn’t take it anymore. My favourite was vodka. Stopped smoking and drinking 6 years ago my health improved a lot but to be honest, I do miss the social drinking. I am never bored because I run a business. I like driving super cars and this cannot be combined with drinking.

  9. I love big bikes (min 1000cc) but with age comes slower reaction and more fear.. so regrettably I had to settle for a 350cc scooter type. People choose race-bikes for the experience of super acceleration and speed.
    Many take risks which one day will be fatal. I share the opinion of some other posters here to have a mandatory awareness and technical training, even after one day riders will remember this for a long time. I suggest to hand them a nice badge after the training which they can proudly display on their motorbike.
