this is like recording people dying in the ambulance after a traffic accident as 'injured'

Or dying from blood loss ...because of decapitation.

All the non-Thai stations that broadcast on 'True' have been censored.

Has been so for a long time   they also routinely blur out  cigarettes,guns,knifes,alcohol and "wobbly bits"

a good reason not to use there "service"

I said right at the end that this is the way things are going.

But you said I was wrong...where was I wrong ?  

I'm right  when I said that taking the test at the DLT does not involve driving on the ( real) road.

no actually you are wrong.

Right  so you are saying that  everyone now has to use a driving school...you can't just go to the DLT

do the theory test then do the off road practical test and receive a licence..maybe never having driven on the real road at all ?

That is a lie, my girl friend just completed her driving course and she spent nearly 20hrs on the road

She spent 0 time "on the road" during the test !  yes maybe 20 hour with the instructor.

If you fancy another little drive out to Jomtien

Thais, by and large, think this type of work is beneath them

Well I wouldn't want to do that sort of work in the scorching sun for 300 baht per day either !!! ..would you ?

Is that the right way?

Yes that's the only way   you can use one of those motorised car polishing machines

The people living in those apartments in the background must be over the moon !

No again this is just a poor example. 

 

EDIT

The red is the cheap the blue is the medium and the green is the expensive

As mentioned before  blue one is "World gas"  green is "PTT"  orange is Unique gas,  all LPG  there are not many places that will re-fill  your own bottle..they mostly insist on an exchange  that must be of the same  color bottle.

Some "unscrupulous" ?  LPG stations have used vehicle  LPG because its slightly cheaper ( subsidised more) than cooking LPG

vehicle stations (mostly) will not fill up a cooking bottle for you I think its actually against the law for them to do it..but no doubt some would do it.

2 weeks ago a friend was bitten while walking/excersising, resulting in him requiring 30+ stitches & IV antibiotics every 6hrs for about a week.

Don't forget the rabies shots !

They should try a special event that lets Farang in at regular price. All Thailand should try that

Totally agree..except it shouldn't be a special event  it should be normal that "everyone" pays the same price..discounts for elderly,disabled,students fine 10x the price for a foreigner  ????

Anyone know if farang are included in this free April thing?

Highly doubtful unless the "Farung" holds a Thai ID card ☹️

i stopped in red light 

and just pulled the gas a bit to keep the engine working.

Once sat at the traffic lights South Pattaya/3rd junction I saw 2 boy racer Arabs on "super bikes" revving their engines vigorously waiting for the lights to go green...( showing off to the girls) out popped Mr Policeman from his booth and threw the book at them..silly sods weren't wearing helmets, t-shirts shorts and flip flops  probably no licence either ! ????

if there is a way to dispute all those traffic fines, and the 

answer is propably no.

Yes you can negotiate the fine at the police station..take a "long haired Thai dictionary" along they know how to negotiate ????

@Jingthing  do you have a direct internet connection to your condo/house/apartment supplied by ToT  ?  or are you  living in a place that re-supplies the connection  ? if the place/condo supplies the last bit of the connection then ToT  will not be interested or maybe even be aware of the problem and they can just blame the place/condo supplied equipment.

Different colors for different supply companies ? Green ones are "bor tor tor. (PTT) The government feul supplier.

It will get stuck at customs,  then if by some miracle gets past them  it will get stuck at the Land transportation Department.

There was a report on here somewhere  of a US military person being able to import his vehicle  it took a long time,lots of bureaucratic steps and he was a special case "normal" people don't stand a chance... either sell the bike and buy another fully road legal one here or keep it in storage  for if/when you return.

3 words    don't do it.

How did this go on for 10 years. I would have thought the first expat he scammed would have blown the whistle.

Because of Thailand's antiquated draconian defamation laws..even if what you publish is true they can still sue for defamation !!!!
