There's some pretty aggressive men - I just watched about 6 of these.
One pulled a gun, one physically attacked one of the group and they rolled on the ground, one drove home (slowly due to traffic jam) with 2 of the group on the hood, etc.
They are an aggressive race, but my personal experience has been with ones that barge into me on Jomtien beach road ....

in the States you need a special plate to park in disabled spots, if not big fine. it works
In UK disabled spots are reserved for Indians driving beemers and mercs ...

I do agree but i think the only reason alcohol is the most dangerous because it is legal and cheap (here in LOS anyway)
as such, these geezers can pretty much have as much as they want without regulation and no barman here will say "you had enough"
if you got monkey they serve you all night
not like other countries
Yes, you would think long term acohol abuse must cause mental illness.
but if other drugs were legal and people could get them anywhere and cheap many would be a lot worse.
Is a monkey 500 baht ?

India is getting fed up with this, so a pre-announced bail would solve the issue of finding acceptance for the family, maybe.
Or, maybe, a good old fashioned honey and milk bath, that is really scary, and should make any criminal think five times before committing a hideous crime.
Nevertheless, imho, the roots are deeper in society and its customs.It used to be that girls were not preferred since to wed one off a dowry was required.
Now, a shortage of some 22 million Females in 15-64 years olds creates a lot of desperate men.
That is some 6 percent plus the natural relation ship friction makes a very large group,
Say 10 - 15 + percent of males, some 40 -60 million men that cannot find a wife because there aren't enough women.
(This is not intended as an excuse, please see first paragraph, just an observation.)If there are not enough females maybe you should stop murdering them at birth ???

I seem to recall something similar to this was proposed last year.
Along with stopping Baht Buses.
I say leave it as it is - it might be chaotic but it's part of the area's character along with silly drunks, annoying lady-boys, awful music from GoGos ...and I love it!
As @AlexCanada said you can walk along 2nd or 3rd Roads.
Agree, something else to consider is making it one way would increase the speed of traffic, making it more dangerous to cross, as in 2nd road......

Never heard of soi bukaw
I've seen Buakhao spelt various ways but never Bukaw. The op is correct about it being dangerous for pedestrians especially at the Lengkee junction, but I personally don't want it made one way, it is convenient for me to go both ways on the baht bus ....

...why to do thing honestly, if cheating get's away with more lucrative returns ?.....
Uber and Grab will expand their business with all the Taxi cheats in Thailand that refuse to understand.
And if you must use a taxi, say from Swampy to town and the driver get's funny on turning on the meter, just walk out of the taxi, complain at the booth and take another number for the next one....I once had to refuse 3 taxis refusing the meter, until I found one who was prepared to do his job without cheating.
Most people taking a taxi from the airport would have their suitcase in the boot ....

That's weird... The OP article talks about a price of 59b per bottle, though they don't mentioned what size. Maybe the standard 320/330 ML size used locally.
That's under the cheapest imported ciders I've seen here, which seem to start at about 99b per 500 ML bottle or can. Which would seem to suggest it's going to be brewed locally like Heineken.
Except, the OP article talks about using apples from England, and AFAIK, Thailand doesn't seem to have any apple crop of its own.
So I wonder, just what's up with this?
My guess would be that they export the concentrate and water is added locally, and possibly sweetener to cater for local tastes

Not angry at all....and I'm not little. Just making a point in writing. Perhaps you got it, perhaps not.
I wasn't holding out much hope.
Too subtle for you I guess.
Let me try again. Perhaps people in your country describe themselves in terms of colour because it was forced upon them to describe themselves in terms of colour.
But perhaps they don't see themselves in terms of colour and it is offensive to them when you do so.
You just make assumptions because it saves you from having to think.
Intelligent people don't mind thinking.
What would you know about how intelligent people think, I am not just talking about black people in my country, black people and the authorities all over the world describe them as such, do you really believe they don't know they are black ? And do you really believe you are subtle ? do you really believe you are not angry ?
Pattaya police round up ladyboys and another thief in two theft cases
in Pattaya News
Another one was called super prick (Or something similar) although somehow I doubt it
