Depends on who you speak to there.

The number of apologists in this thread is sickening.

It doesn't matter who started it, at no time should anyone kick an elderly woman, who is on the ground already, in the head! Period. There is no apologizing for that.

They don't have a sauna or steam room but Go Gym has all the equipment you need and it's very affordable. Not too far from Nimm. A lot of Thai body builders work out here. They have machines, free weights, ropes, street bars for calisthenics, cross fit, boxing area, and so on. It's huge.

There is also the smaller Harris Gym behind KSK mall. Tiny but decent.

Another bought medical license?

Would love to see a Singapore style televised public caning for this.

This sort of thing happens more than we know. Not all of it makes the news.

A horrific van accident in Thailand? Shocking.

RIP.

I almost took some rebar to the head a few days ago while on my bike. I pulled up at a red light and the truck in front of me had nothing warning of the metal. Had I been 2 or 3 inches to the right they would have hit me directly in the face. Good chance someone else hit those things.

The Department of Intellectual Property

Wonder what it is they do all day there besides browse Facebook, play games, and eat.

All I can say is that if things keep going in the direction we are seeing it will be unwise to even make any negative comment regarding the current government.

It's already unwise. However, they would have to track down IP addresses, then the person writing the post here (could post from anywhere or with a VPN), and comprehend English well enough to know they are being slagged. So, while it is unwise, due to their absolute incompetence, it is fairly safe.

However, posting on Facebook under your real name with photos,linked to everyone you know, you're a sitting duck.

Low hanging fruit always gets picked first.

These sort of accidents happen so often that they are not even news worthy anymore. They are so common that I feel nothing when I read about another "van accident" or "bus crash."

I've personally seen so many accidents here over the years that I don't even flinch when brains are scattered on the road. I totally understand why the first responders take photos with the dead, because they are completely desensitized.

Sad.

Yea, that will solve the problem.

Burma 2.0 in the making.

Hope you guys who have put all of your eggs in one basket have an exit plan. Chances are, it will be needed in the not too distant future. And heaven help all of us when the "big event" happens and the place erupts into chaos when there is no one left to be peaceful for.

The impenetrable great wall of mai dai.

The true greatest wall on earth.

Mine goes out shortly almost daily. I stay at a newer condo not too far from Maya.

Unbelievable.

When the news was posted that the parents of the victims asked for manslaughter charges, all posts on Thaivisa declared that it was not possible to proof that he had the intend to kill the victims.

Now when police announce there can be no manslaughter charges for that exact reason, so far all posts blame the police for not pressing the charges.

A bunch of very sick people on this forum

Actually, the parents of the victims sought "premeditated murder" charges, not manslaughter charges - which is what some of the posters, quite rightly, declared impossible to prove.

You can revisit that post here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/911466-victims-families-seek-premeditated-murder-charge-for-mercedes-driver-over-fatal-crash/

I won't even address your last statement...

The "police " also filed eight other charges that the family didn't ask for. So what's your point?

All charges he will easily walk away from.

He killed people due to drinking and driving, therefore should go to jail. However, he won't. His family will cash everyone out and this will all go away.

Inflammation of the muscles.

Poor guy.

They should drop all charges due to his pain and suffering.

I've never in all my years and travels come across such an inept and useless group of individuals. Besides collecting money, what are these clowns good at?

Enjoy the rest of your lives in a Thai prison ladies.

While the bill tribes continue to sell drugs to tourists every day.

Drive to the waterfall on a bike and notice how many locals try to sell you drugs along the way. Been that way for years.

They do that in Pai?

Do those heroin growers also get busted sometimes or are they allowed to grow it?

Pai is drug central for anything they can make or grow in Thailand or Myanmar.

The locals are VERY bold if you drive your scooter around outside the town and on the back roads, with the biggest concentration of them being on the way to the waterfall. It's a gauntlet of drug dealers, mostly female. They try to get your attention as you drive by.

Drugs are everywhere in Thailand. EVERYWHERE! You can get weed, opium, hash, yaabaa, and sometimes herion with very little effort.

Now i understand why my european neece went to Pai and rent a motobike there without license.

I thought all them backpackers go to Pai because it's in the lonely planet and a nice place in the mountains. Never heard of it being a drughole.

Pai is very nice without drugs. There are lots of drugs there but many of the people there are having legit holidays. Your neice very well could have had a normal, drug free holiday.

It's not that everyone there is high, it's just that it is so available if you want it. I've been there a few times and have been offered more times than I can count.

I've been here for 90 years and I find it hard to believe the police would do such a thing. (Sarcasm)

Meanwhile, in reality... That poor guy is going to end up in the field anyway.

Driving Licence no have.

Get caught, and I hope you do, they should take the vehicle from you and give you jail plus a heavy fine

As much as it displeases you, he will never have his car impounded or be jailed for not having a license. He'll enjoy the exact same freedom on the road as you do. Sorry for the bad news.

I totally agree with you. They do things they know they could never get away with back home and then complain when they get a fine. Thailand doesnt need people like that. Many complain that they were fined for not wearing a crash helmet but back home they would be fined a lot more for not wearing one. They tend to forget that

When the Thais all follow the rules, I will follow the rules. In the meantime, I do what they do while doing ANYTHING I have to in order to avoid an accident, avoid the police, or avoid traffic.

When in Rome...

This is their country, we must follow their rules...

Blah, blah, there are no rules other than STAY ALIVE and DONT GET CAUGHT. Nothing else matters here. Nothing.
