Proclaim that this is the year everything will be okay, rinse and repeat yearly...

Just saying that it doesn’t seem to be a “takes deposit and disappears” scenario ....

Just that I am sure this has been raised before and it is in fact a scam where they do not own the vehicle. Anyway I would not go down this route personally....

So he is giving you the vehicle for free?
The guys not asking for a deposit or anything.... I’m trying to work out any possible pitfalls..... it comes with logbook etc....

Sure I have heard about this elsewhere and it was a scam, leave it alone IMO....

Depends entirely on which part of Miami they are trying to emulate, looks to me that they are at more advanced stages than they realise.

Just the amount of brass in the photo says it all, the hierarchy system here is really in your face and actually seems to be admired by many.
There is no way that any of these high profile people get treated the same as normal citizens here, and for it to be said that they do is just rubbish.
The only reason these cases last so long is because nowadays they have to be seen to do something, and thankfully, with the amount of coverage that is now given by social media etc, the powers that be cannot just brush these cases to one side as easily as they used to. Some better form of excuses have to be given and this must be making their lives a lot more difficult....keep it up I say...

Like I say, this is not Europe. To me it looks like the bike should have been seen in the drivers side mirror.@Anythingleft? I made sure the road was clear before sorting the car to the right part of the lane, and then once again before starting my turn. Both times the road was clear. I think the only extra time I could have seen him was if I had looked through my window while I was taking the turn. And I am pretty sure that at that point in the maneuver I am supposed to look at traffic in the oncoming lane and at traffic in the soi I am turning into.
Not being there and just looking at the video thats just my opinion.
However, had the guy not been riding like a idiot it should never have happened. Driving here takes a different skill set and a swivel head...

Probably the start of a long winded argument here , but, the motorbike was
Way too fast
Not riding with due care and attention
Surely must have seen your brake lights?
Does the biker have a license or insurance?
This is an everyday occurance here unfortunately and there does not seem to be a learning curve of any kind by either the drivers/riders, or officials in their capacity to control or educate
More consideration to double check your mirrors so there is at least some accountability on your behalf. These roads are not Europe and you need to be aware of the recklessness here. If it were Europe this would be the bikes fault entirely in my view...

Risky business, the market here seems to follow no normal route or any logic. Many pifalls with ownership and regulations etc, not to say it cannot be done just that it is a minefield for the newcomer...

Unless your current age is around ten years old then I sincerely doubt it.....Achieving any heights will make a pleasant change from the outstanding lows that seem more the norm.
I love the country and sincerely hope that one day it will actually achieve some.
Also hope I will live long enough to see it.

Just rip the A/C's out one night and leave, taking the units is probably the thing that is annoying your landlord the most as they usually expect to keep them as a freebie. Forget the 7k its gone, if they are this problematic already you will more than likely lose the small A/C and the 7k
Walking away sooner will mean you get over it quicker

You would be recommended to be changing the oil and oil filter each 10k, fuel filter depending upon the cleanliness of fuel being used, but for the cost each 10k is advisable.
Blow the air filter until it looks too dirty and cannot be cleaned properly.
The above is nothing to do with with any warranty just good maintenance practices to keep your engine in good order.
However, there may be extended/different kilometer intervals stated in the manuals, some vehicles will do more than the 10k, that is up to your discretion and the quality of oil that you decide to use.
I am more old school and the cost of parts, labour etc here makes extending past 10k pointless IMO even with good quality oils....
Each to their own, if your not following manufacturer guidelines just keep it regular and stick with the same oil brands..

He said the complaint had hurt his team members’ reputation.
On no, how tragic. And herein lies the root of most of Thailands problems...

The national reform committee is determined to rid Thailand of corruption through more public participation
They should really give the public at least some sort of protection and a sense that they will not be incriminated themselves should they try to uncover or expose a situation that they find.
Until people feel safe to speak out then only a fraction of probably connected people, ever actually will...

The future is electric, just look at the R&D and massive commitments being put through now by the mainstream car manufacturers for battery technology.
Not my thing but you cant stop progress...

As with most of the running stories here the real issue is the lack of enforcement and day to day governance by the RTP.
This is not an issue of just one time annually, although it may be slightly higher during this festival. All the rules, regulations and laws already exist but nowhere are they enforced on a practical daily basis unless it is the form of a publicised purge.
Actually really interested to know what kind of training or examinations the RTP have here and, how knowledgable they are on the laws in place. It all just seems like its too much bother for them unless they see it as financially beneficial..

Get some lights and be more aware, if you dont already watch what everyone else is doing then you should. Riding or driving about here expecting any kind of the 'back home' courtesy or rules to apply is just waiting for an accident to happen...
To be honest the fact that you had no lights in the first place and quite happily pootled around Pattaya in the dark shows a huge ignorance on your behalf.
No thought at all for the after effects that this may have on the lady driver.

Thats made my week lol!!!In the NACCs defence, they probably didn't consider that a man owning 25 watches would be so bad at meeting deadlines.

Another public display of, yes, yes we have laws and nobody is unnacountable....along with the poaching debacle by another high profile Thai. Unfortunately it is only a display and of little or no consequence, it is then played to death until the little people either forget or lose interest.
Normal operations resume.
To be fair it seems if they removed all of the corrupt personnel in this countries administrations and governing systems then there would be very few left at all....
There does seem to be a ray of hope with social media though, and the way that the younger Thais have grasped how powerful it can be to at least keep exposing what they see..

Thai Police push for a 12 points and you’re out system for driving licenses

Start with enforcing the rules that are in place, it seems ridiculous to add more rules when they cannot / will not, enforce what they already have....
Suitable punishments that are followed through for all, not just the poor, make the rules applicable to all.
A progression into the digital age that captures the vehicle information and sends the failings directly to the driver or owner. This is already here to some degree just expand it and utilise it to eradicate personal involvement and therefore associated corruption.
Follow up with the processes in hand already, simplify them and reduce the steps to prosecution, montains of paper work that just locks the systems down.
Maybe its just too simplistic an approach, there always seems to be a desire to over complicate everything nowadays...
