Even a well trained and heavily armed US cop wouldnt wade into a crowd alone.

A US officer wouldn’t just stand by and watch either. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 

He’s a police officer. It’s his job to protect the public. Yes, he gets involved and tries to break it up.

Meanwhile the other law, a policeman, was seen to look on apparently powerless to stop the violence.

What happened to all the new buses they just bought? Or is that a silly question?

and over-inflated tires as usual.
The manufacturer data Isuzu says 29 PSI for the four wheels of my pickup;
well even at the isuzu dealer I have to check that they do not put me 40 PSI as they have very bad habit everywhere .

 

They were lucky (in their misfortune);
burst rear tire it looks like this on a pickup that was, in my opinion, overloaded (as usual) 

 

I agree. Every time my Honda Civic comes back from a service at Honda, the first thing I do is reduce the tyre pressure from 40 psi to the recommended 32. I've asked them not to over inflate the tyres but just the usual blank look and smile.

I don't understand why burning is not stopped

Probably due to the perpetrators being poor farmers and therefore there's no incentive for the police to stop them as there's no money in it for the police. So we all continue to slowly suffocate. 

I’m glad my wife doesn’t drive as she only seems to have megasleeps.

Well done Peerapong, more people like you needed.

A very large percentage of drivers dont give a rats a++e about disabled parking places, just think i can park there no problem.

I agree 100%. I do act, but I don't publicise it, or say where, or how, for obvious reasons. Needless to say that if there is no CCTV present, and only if I have seen that the driver is able-bodied (and especially if it's an expensive car). I only do this as nobody else will act as the poor old security guards are afraid of these people and won't (can't) enforce the rules.

"bend of death".

Oh no.

It's on Jomtien 2nd rd at the fairly new high rise "The Grand" (monstrous twin tower)

Can't tell how often I passed there.

But bend of death????

Every bend can mean death for hools/drunks/racers.

Not excluding that there was 3rd party in the way.

Bend? All I can see is a very slight curve.

Thanks for the correction on the TetraPak (if that's what brand are used in Thailand) but the coffee cups cannot be recycled.

Brick pack for fluids  e.g. milk yoghurt fruit juice etc.... all possible replacements for plastic ...

I think these are wax lined (or something like that) so that they don't go soggy and are therefore not recyclable. The same as take away 'paper' cups from coffee outlets. These are all single use.

Blimey, April 1st sure comes around quick in these parts.

It was probably swiftly transferred to the THAI catering department.

Khok Khram Police Station

Apt name.

They never will be as lots of people have to get there in cars and buses and stuff.
