They will be doing the courts a favour. As it is the courts are overloaded and slow. They will not be able to cope with the workload if every person without a license is sent there.

Yes, all part of the normal unconsidered or thought through pronouncements made by the idiots in control. Corruption is controlled from the top, so nothing will ever change.

?

Yes yes yes, same old unrealistic view of how the whole of Thai justice works - money, money and more money.

From the posts I have read everyone knows how this will work, except the jokers in charge.

More hot air, wais and lies.

I asked almost the same question a couple of years ago and got my answer:

Why don't Thai farmers work in co-operatives?

I was told that the coops ultimately become corrupted and the savings are negated by those in charge skimming the profit for themselves.

Sounds par for the course in Thailand.

Millions of people can genuinely love.

 

What kind of people do you associate with?

Convenience and security often are a driving force.

Free love went out some time ago.

Are you a hippy? Or maybe never been divorced?

I have not been to Pat Pong for over 15 years, but is the night market still there? Also has Walking Street in Pattaya had all the signs removed yet?

The vendors will be moved to somewhere the powers that be can charge exorbitant rents and kill the charisma of the backpacker's dream.

Times change.

Life is cheap and TAT are still no better with a new boss.

Chinese will get the message if nothing is done and go elsewhere eventually.

?

You see this everywhere and lots of people doing the same every minute of the day in Thailand.

Police are just a money making organisation, nothing to do with upholding the law.

This is like applying a band-aid to a gushing wound, unless the mindset of ' let's rip off these clueless and rich tourist for all we can' will change from it's core, like sewer infested cockroaches they will come back...

And it will come back because the cops get a kick back...

Criminals Some folk actually believe in no borders across the world with regard freedom of Movement! Yes I’ve met them! The ultimate in liberal thinking !

Are you an "Ultimate Liberal"?

Unless the whole of the world's population become "Ultimate Liberals" overnight it cannot work.

Anyone believing such nonsense needs to grow up and check out reality.

?

Same old nonsense.

Cops will make a few more satang and the carnage will continue as normal.

If you consider that the trip has another goal than pretending he has any international dimension.

Apart from being a networking junket, I guess he considers it could bolster his international reputation and chance of staying in power in Thailand.

But you might suspect another hidden agenda?

Do tell...

google 'the front fell off' then you get the meaning of 'outside the environment.'

Yes funny, and makes a point.

The point is exactly the same as my point, I think it is known as "Nimby".

Cheers, G

The dreaded "Three Martini Lunch Syndrome" I expect...

UK House of Lords has the same problem.

Best place is outside the environment.

Without Google I guess you are suggesting low earth orbit or something just as ridiculous like mining on the moon.

If some of the predictions are anywhere close to reality, the reserves of some of the rare metals used will run out at the current rate of battery production in about 10 years.

Don't misunderstand, I have nothing against electric vehicles, but denying they pollute is ignoring the herd of elephants in the room.

.

Waste of time going to France, their trade is controlled by the EU. He should go to Belgium.

UK could promise talks for 2020.

Justify your comment

I expect you have had other replies but there has been a culture of bogus accidents in the UK with organised gangs with two cars to set up a false claim against an innocent third party. The police know it goes on and "rear-ending" someone is no longer a cut and dried case.

Here Thais simply don't know how to "drive".

Life is cheap here, supposed Buddhists or not.

Driving too close to the vehicle in front is normal.

This is Thailand not the West.

RIP young man.

Perhaps he was thinking of the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic which is in the back of all of our minds as we tried not get mowed down by one of the maniac van drivers.

 

OTOH, he could just watch this video on hazards of undertaking,

https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/793433/video-car-accident-crash-motorway

Yep, maybe he is still on TV if he has survived.

Plus the mining, refining and recycling of the rare elements in the batteries?

It is just the same story, move the pollution somewhere else...

Xenophobia and paranoia as normal.

Exploit foreigners and keep the status quo is the name of the game.

another reason to ''go commando''

The teacher's gender is specifically not mentioned in the article.

The teacher could be any of the MGBGTQ lot, or a traditional male or female.

A silly punishment, but how do you punish pupils for not obeying the rules these days?

Confiscate their mobile phone for 2 days? Child abuse!

The underwear was returned not sold on eBay to the Japanese.

A really none-story stirred up by social media.

Great idea, and build some coal powered generating plants to supply the electricity.

As normal this will only work if it is enforced,  not used by the corrupt police to make money...

IMHO Thais are actually used to undertaking, because most don't use their mirrors and are blissfully unaware of anything behind them. As long as it is not done aggressively, I think it's accepted.

An interesting point.

Last year I had a farang poster insist undertaking was not illegal here?
