There is a way around this, ever driver of a pick-up carrying passengers in the bed of the truck should hold third party insurance to cover in case of injures or death for every named passenger. Injuries and death should not cost the Govt any money then.

Xenophobic, racist tirade from Thais, whether she had the right to be there or not, a member of staff could have just wheeled her away and dealt with the situation calmly rather than let so-called customers insult her .

This is Thailand is a phrase I have often used especially when Thais are clearly wrong but would NEVER admit it.

Dear Police Chief RESPECT is earned, your officers need to learn that from day one. Not expect it.  

Typical reasoning, will the Police check the brakes or just believe the driver. One incompetent lot justifying another incompetent driver.  

When I stop laughing at the improbability of this actually having any effect, I will sit down and consider the ramifications of this plan.

1 Police need to be firm and fair in exercising the LAW ( That is if the Polcie actually know the law in the first place ).

2 Increase the severity of the driving test and renewal procedures to remind people of the real dangers of driving .

3 Anyone caught driving without a licence immediate One month in prison no matter who they are.

4 Insurance companies top insure the driver and nominated vehicle.

5 overloading by goods or people , insurance automatically invalid apart from 3rd party injury payments.

6 Speeding and overloading  by passenger carrying vehicles automatic ban for one year and the company involved possible suspension of operators licence .

7 Underage riding/ driving , parents automatically fined 10,000:00 baht .

Not that I for one moment would think that any of the above will be implemented therefore it will never happen.

So in that case, everytime I see a Police Check with various people sitting around drinking and playing with their p[hones they will not mind if I photograph them and post it nationally to show their attention to road users is ZERO .

Who gives a damn what he wears, his attitude and lack of compassion, has already put him in the uncaring and a failed member of the NCPO in my book.

Thai culture rules ok ya"!!!!!!, not mine so do not care attitude, you should see outside my house after the 4 times a week THAI local market about 2 kg of waste every week, narry a farang in sight  

BIB lying, never 100% . Being  told to lie believable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thainess rules, the untouchables became more so and the POLICE....................well  nuff said .

I am at the moment  EXERCISING RESTRAINT, BUT IF MY FRIEND AND SIDE-KICK GOES I will revert to a full on aggressive dictator . peons you have been warned !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allthough I do feel for this guy who allegedly got kicked out of Thailand for spurious, and that his age is against him, going to the press in hopes of getting a way back in is NOT going to work and to be honest the amount of time spent by people about him is becoming tedious, he lost, he is not here BUT he is alive and I presume reasonably healthy. Get over it,  man up and move on.  

His first mistake was to pay the Police to make the charge relating to the gun go away.If it was not his why pay anyone.

Second mistake was not to get a 30 lease or equivalent on the land . Third mistake was that he trusted his wife 100% .

Sad but true .

When they stop and breath test drivers of buses and coaches and mini-vans  arrest those who are over the limit then and only then will I believe they are serious .

Thy have enormous foreign currency reserves, which they of course are not spending on their own people but are propping up the baht with . That is why it looks so good.

To seek the truth about the matter, Maj Gen Sansern should talk face to face with the farmers rather than stand behind the podium in Government House and hit back. 

As if that will ever happen, talking to the poor downtrodden peons, beneath his station in life, to even admit they would understand

With the report out about the level of pollutants in Thai home grown vegetables, I would think that the Government would be addressing that , using some of its vast Foreign reserves and spend money improving the farming industry, rather than papering over the cracks.

I will not under any circumstance buy Thai locally grown vegetables , I like my health a lot more than have more money for beer.

Falling Thai prices , not surprised when most of it could make you ill; .

Triple the fines, impound the cars and bikes, it would not taker long for the rest to start to obey.

Oh make the insurers insure the driver and the vehicle not just the vehicle which will also include the mandatory ins , which will mean NO LICENCE equals  NO INSURANCE.

Every story is a fabrication , every allegation is showing just how AMAZINGLY stupid those people are, seeking to justify thewir futres as Thailands so-called protectors. The question is , "Who is protecting Thailand from them " ??????????????? 

Must be a numpty to alienate about 70% of the Thai population that smoke then

Easy to stop the overloading, Police stop buses with children on, if the loading was say 16 children, then fine the driver 2000 baht for every child over that number and arrange for another empty bus to pick up the children. Most of these buses are owned by a consortium then as the financial cost of defying the law becomes too much stupid drivers will either stop doing it or abide by the law. Hit them where it hurts in their pockets.; Plus if an accident occure the insurance refuse to pay for injures for more people that the bus is licensed to carry. Not rocket sc ience but I have never YET seen a Baht bus stopped by police for overloading yet in  15 years.

Good job on the overstayers, interesting most come from the African sub-continent, which begs the question why the police are so lax on them, any WESTERN FARANG is made acutely aware of the problems of overstaying yet these Coloured chaps just ignore everything.

What do you mean wonder, they already are, and some comments are really illuminating .

Exports come under International rules for quality and acceptance, Tourism is still run by idiots and Tourists are mainly scammed treated like dirt and are always wrong. See anything wrong in this..........do we ??????????????
