  1. Nailed it. Those traffic pinch points will become unbearable soon. I wonder if the environmental approval includes these issues with massive condo developments.
  2. The statute here allows for 3 to 15 for vehicular manslaughter + fines. (Section 290) Accidental or otherwise, drunk or otherwise. The problem in this country is that it can be commuted to probation by the courts (or no charges brought at all) if adequate compensation is paid (to the victims families satisfaction) either at the time of accident or during the court process afterwards if the perp was silly enough not to pay compensation quickly. This is why its so unjust here, money legally solves the problem of a custodial sentence in instances of manslaughter. It's sickening but reality.
  3. I think the daughter got 20 years if you look at the original Web page.. Not sure about the others. That's a lot of laundry sacks to sew.
  4. Was it first or second hand. , wasn't clear? Have to some kind of fool to spend that on a used car without due diligence. Even first hand must do a bit more than he appears to have done.
  5. Not sure we should take this obscure departments view into consideration. The Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine. Please tell me they don't have a say in cannabis laws or any laws for that matter.
  6. I'll wait until Patong hill fully reopens before condeming Phuket. Cherngtalay and Chalong routes were taking a hammering with Patong diversion traffic and I suspect still are. Yep peak periods are nasty at the moment, but outside those times its pretty calm. In fact I did 18 minutes from boat lagoon to chalong yesterday at 8pm. (Yes we do have a 'highway' ;)) . That's as quick as its ever been. Its easy to moan about traffic, probably the same people that would moan if there wasn't modern conveniences, places to work, modern schools, water parks, malls etc. You have to expect crowds, you can't have one without the other. If you don't like that lifestyle, move to the countryside or an island with a bamboo shack and little else.
  7. Wife's does. Data included. Not sure if it's forever or just the first year though.
  8. My wife has a new 60. Few months old. Great car, small battery though even for a hybrid ;( I believe they are now coming with a larger battery. Had no issues so far, the 5 year free service and warranty is a bargain package tbh. The guy who came to install the charging station even sorted out some dodgy electricals in the house free of charge. Wife's happy, hardly uses the gas for school runs etc, husband not so happy as he still pays the electric bill. Would recommend.
  9. Unless they sort out the chaotic and inadequate parking, access roads etc it'll be a waste of money.
  10. Isn't the bashing because he used the passe term transister radio. Everyone who has a car has a radio so it's hardly prehistoric. Where else will I enjoy my 6pm national anthem.
  11. It's normal and exceedingly common to use 3rd (and even 4th) party for hotel reservations depending on agent and location. But your business and contract is with the booking agent, in this case the company that rhymes with pagoda right? So whatever their cancellation policy is stated to you when you booked IS the cancellation policy. You weren't clear whether the agent was pagoda or they just used pagoda.
  12. Will never happen to any noticeable degree. Market forces, competition, allocation and distribution will see to that. You'll get some more hotels offering 'Thai resident rates' specific to individual platforms as they do now but that'll be it. In my experience any resident can get those, they don't discriminate on nationality (or really care).
  13. Sorry, your details are already in the Mor Prom App database, just cause you don't use it, doesn't mean much. Your just as venerable to a data breach as the next guy.
  14. Incorrect. Phuket has 900 in "Community isolation" already. Eg stuck in their accommodation.
