    Those YouTube Channels are already out there....

     

    There are also Facebook Pages dedicated to the idiocy witnessed on Thailands roads (by Thai's and foreigners) 

     

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1014566385582946

     

     

    But to be fair - every country has the same groups and much the same stupid stuff can be witnessed....  At least there is far less agression on the roads in Thailand, give or take the odd complete meltdown (as we see with this story).

     

     

    In the UK recently some guy went bonkers at me as I was driving down the road along a row of parked cars... clear on my side, the parked cars were on his side of the road but he expected me to give way.... Which I happily would have, but as we'd approached at the same time I fully expected him to yield... he didn't and pushed his way through, was waving his arms shouting at me....  etc...

    ... he seemed so mad I had to question my own sanity and wonder what mistake I'd made... 

    But none - he just had no idea it should have been him that was to give way as the obstruction was in his half of the road (his left / my right).

     

     

     

    People just get mad so easily - but so do I when someone puts my family in danger through their utter stupidity. 

     

    I got mad a policeman when coming in from the airport a few years ago. 

    He pulled over the AOT van on the expressway - I was telling the driver to ignore the policeman and take the next exit, stopping on the expressway was way to dangerous (with wife and child in car)....   the driver didn't listen, the policeman ignored me.... 

    ...Turns out the policeman took 200 baht fine, the reason unclear, but something to do with the van (AOT Toyota commuter) not being permitted to drive in the right most lane on the motorway / expressway - which Id never heard of before)...  But I didn't care - stopping on the motorway was such a no-no...    but in these cases logic simply cannot prevail.

    When logging onto the system you have to fill in your passport number and nationality.  You will also see a field 'Date Visa Expire'.  Click the magnifying glass and all required fields are filled in for you.  At this stage, if your 'Date Visa Expire' has indeed expired update it.  This change will be reflected in the TM47.

    This info applies to the desktop version of the Immigration app.  I don't know if the mobile version is the same as I have never used it.

    What is a Desktop version of the Immigration app. Can we Downloaded that?

    I'd rather be alone than be sat with a bunch fake smiling locals who have ulterior motives..

     

    I have been here a long time, and I don't know a single expat that has a meaningful, reciprocal friendship with a Thai man.

     

    I will, of course, keep my eyes peeled and report back if and when that changes!

     

    bob. 

    I have some good Thai friends here. But I live far away from the sewers like Pattaya or Phuket
