    Tragic absolutely tragic, people going out to help others and get killed by a possible speeding driver.

    Hope the pickup driver was giving the breath bag.

    One thing that amazes me here, is they never seem to put up warning signals far enough back from accidents for other motorists to see.

    Possible speeding you mean speeding for certain. One thing that seems to be nearly always forgotten is to nominate 2 persons to get up and down the road to warn oncoming traffic. That should be the first action taken.

    Comes across as extremely racist, firstly the headline and then the fact police were sent just because they were African and to see if they are breaking any laws.  We have a lot of Thais living in Niddrie, Melbourne Australia, imagine if the police were sent just to check on them.

    yeah but 7 to 800 Africans living in one area of Thailand just has to be suspicious. I doubt weather they are all legal and above board just smarter than the average Thai Police heirachy.

    Never been a fan of thai food myself and never understood the reasoning behind eating food that has so much chilli in it. 

    It always strikes me as strange that food should bring on a sweating session, red face and a need to drink litres of water to kill/cool off the burn. More like a competition than enjoyment. Locally I sometimes have TomYam Kung and ask them to bring the chilli in another side dish. Usually they bring 15 or so chillies in the dish for one bowl of soup.

    Someone at the table will be happy to have them and add to their own bowl then sit there gasping, sweating and saying Aroi Aroi.

    No way can that be good for your stomach lining or intestines over a lifetime.

    Hot chili's in moderation are actually good for your health as are other spicy foods.

    In my interactions, most people who have never visited view Thailand as a very friendly and nice country.  Some might inquire about the nightlife, but that is a positive inquiry as there is a lot of people who like to party on holiday.  

    The majority of people that ask me about Thailand are mostly interested in Chiang Mai and the north, and just adventure travel in general.

    Sex has never been part of a single discussion with random people inquiring about travel in Thailand.

     

    I trust you put them straight ? lol

    IMO - Bangkok has some of the greatest food...  we are spoil for variation, quality and choice. 

     

    From extremely cheap street eats to high end international cuisine, the offerings are vast and in general the price cheaper than the equivalent standard in other global capitals....

     

    From the highest end... Le Normandie, to excellent standard eats such as Cocotte, Face... to great steak places such as Arno, Argentina Steak house etc...  Wonderful Japanese restaurants such as Honmono, Tensui...  

     

    I feel so spoilt for choice whenever choosing somewhere to eat... 

    Beats bread and water huh ?

    Hilarious to consider in all of Bangkok that is probably the height of farang cuisine for many.

     

     

    Yeah coz Thai food is crap all except Pad duk Foo and that's even hard to find well made in Bkk. Best I had was in Muang village at The Green Restaurant.
