  1. With the majority of drivers not even knowing who has the right of way, poor road signs and marking, non existent pavements/ side walks, speed limits in urban roads nonexistent or not unforced and motorcycles racing around without lights at night the carnage will continue. No mention of the motorcycle? Drunk? Speeding? Lights? License? Right side of the road? Or a combination of all above. Disgusting. RIP lady.

    Having all of those planes around the world sitting idle has made me weary of flying for at least a year to allow those cobwebs to clear up, so to speak.

     

    Now that they have found the 2nd black box, hopefully the cause can be revealed and not covered up like Malaysian flight MH370.

     

    RIP to all on board.

     

    MH 370 went to Diego Garcia,

    Good to know they are going after the real kingpins. After all, taking 80 pills off the street is going to make Thailand infinitely safer. The RTP. Keep us all safe and secure, and locking up the bad guys.

    It's what he can say! Get the supplier where the big money is. He's in danger now, if he talks the boss will shoot him, if he doesn't he might get the plastic bag.

    Teen pregnancy seems quite common in Thailand and probably many parts of the world where the populace receive a poor education. It's always so sad to see a young girl lumbered with a child before she even turns 19, with virtually no prospects. It never ceases to amaze me how mnay young girls end up with total bums, get pregnant, the bloke disappears and she's left alone to raise the toddler. It all starts with education. Not only in Thailand but all over the world. 

    Boys can't do wrong, this is "loss of face thing", no commitment, no responsibility, no consideration just me me me. You can see it every where, I believe if the local bully wants to have sex with a girl without a condom, she is obliged to ok the matter or else. Never mind the consequences, he's off!

    I always stop for pedestrians on the zebra crossings and red traffic light crossings but it's dangerous, I always pull to the left and look in my mirrors because very few drivers stop. 

     

    Makes me a little anxious, worried if I'm going to get hit from behind 

    I always used to, but after many occasions when car go speed past my motorcycle on either side I take the safer option and ride through making sure I give the pedestrian a wide berth.

    It is likely that he was going to fast and far to close to the bike in front. 

     

    Unfortunately that is the way they drive here. 

    Unfortunately I've seen on many occasions Thais have to overtake on the inside (left). This is dangerous and seriously dangerous thing to do on a bus  and stupidly dangerous on a HGV. A pot hole, misleveled drain ect  and there are plenty of them here. Wobble hit the kerb and under the wheel you go. RIP young lady.

    Nope....  He stopped on a motorway....

     

    The driver of the truck which stopped (to urinate) created the dangerous situation and is surely accountable in part for committing such an act. 

     

    Meanwhile the driver of the other truck (the female) impacted a stationary object, driving without due care and attention?

     

     

     

    Stopping on a motorway for a pee. Dangerous driving. Probably no rear lights either. TAT

    Must wear a mask on motorcycle. but, no helmet, no problem!
     

    Amazing Thailand, in Pattaya city pre Covid there was a big push by the police to get helmets worn regular stops and fines and I noticed around 90% wore helmets, (a lot less outside the city). Now with the lack of police stops (exsept this last week) there are 100% masks and 10% helmets.
