I never mindfully used the loophole, I just transferred money when I needed it once a month or so. Same as everyone else right?

Chiang mai is cooking the books. Samoeng often turns off its meter (on 500+ days) and Chiang Dao and Fang have no meter at all. Phrao seems to be missing even. If these meters were on it would ensure CM province hits the world rankings every day.

racist what, what are you even talking about? The other guy said something that offends you and you're asking the mods to silence him?

Something just occurred to me. If the ONLY change is this loophole is being closed then does that imply we've all been evading taxes all these years UNLESS we used the loophole? Obviously most of us never even knew about the loophole so what's really changing? Seems like we're in the same position now as we ever were.

It's like you lived in a mafia controlled neighborhood and then when you moved away the old mafia notified another mafia in your new area that you stopped paying dues.

"Some posters"

Some people are giddy to be pay taxes to governments. All excited and making little videos explaining what to do. Sheep in man's closing.

No one posted the video so here it is. He has a clear racial hatred against the Scottish people. Visibly disgusted they govern their own country, how dare they! Imagine if your son which you raised in Thailand did this to the Thai people after getting elected.

There's no purposes in speculating about this until they introduce a procedure for us to follow. Thailand doesn't operate like Western governments where the onus is on you, or else. They're already radically overstepping any boundaries they've had before so they need to be delicate. The whole thing could fizzle out even.

so sad, this is the thinking of a child. Refuses to take responsibility for their actions.

Makes sense. The "spirit" of the law nullifies the actual intent of the law. Complete 180 to civilized countries with strong rule of law.

Imagine raising your kids in Thailand and this is how they turned out. "Prime minister... BROWN, secretary of state... BROWN.... chief of police...BROWN" Too many brown people in Thailand!

Anyone see his "OMG everyone in Scotland is white" speech. Humza is an anti-white racist and parasite. Should be sent back to Pakistan where he belongs.

I still get 40 baht (pork) at various locations in Chiang Mai province.

I agree sinsod is a garbage tradition along with all the other crass idolatry of money. However, there are serious social pressures which make it required lest you may totally embarrass her family. I paid 60k baht at my wedding (2 baht of gold) simply to fill the role of giving here dad something in his hands during the ceremony. It would have been embarrassing for him otherwise and he doesn't deserve that. It's not how he wants it but that's the world he's in. So be it.

it's tragic because they don't know what they don't know so they can't be reasoned with.

Only one nationality not mentioned. I wonder why.

What do they want people to do? You have all these morons speeding around trying to insert themselves into little gaps and making an imaginary lane on the left which cars need to pass in order to turn. It's just dumb and obviously people are getting hurt. No lessons will be learned of course.

Thai people struggle with logic. I don't even think they know what the purpose of laws are or why they have them.

The idea is that you have an imaginary lane of ~1 meters on both sides with a margin of error to work in, avoid objects, dogs, pot holes etc.. and general error if you move a little because your vehicle has 2 wheels and it's not 100% stable. The problem with Thailand is your 1 meter lane can collapse to zero by dangerous passing.

Worst possible laws ever. Makes murder legal for the poor.

that would be annoying to have keep one more device that needs to charged, maintained etc... Putting cameras on road bikes would be hard also. Not sure where to mount such a thing that wouldn't annoy me. Agreed though that's the smartest thing to do.

Oh I forgot to mention, my wife thinks both drivers are ruled to be at fault. That actually makes sense because everyone is breaking the law here so it's easier to just assume both people are wrong. Then you're probably right, they just take as much as they can and the guy with more money loses. That would really piss me off! Killing some guys kid would be another matter. those are the kind of things that worry me.

yeah I ignore them too but when your own a motorbike or road bike you can't always hold a perfect line. If they pass in that exact moment you adjust your position or whatever reason then you're in a for crash. If people can pass at any distance then the lane you're in is effectively only as wide as your body. Worst system possible for driving but that's what we have here.
