My Garmin GPS gives me the speed limit on some roads. Driving along Sukhumwit in Pattaya, it is 80 km / hr whilst once outside Pattaya it becomes 110 km / hr. If I turn off Sukhumwit (either direction) no limit is shown so I assume the limit is therefore 60 km / hr? I've been driving along Route 3 at around 100 km / hr when I notice that my Garmin is showing my speed in red as the speed limit has become 80 km / hr yet no sign to warn me that the limit has become lower.

Thailand really needs to adapt the system in the UK and put up proper speed limit signs on all roads so that everyone knows how fast they can drive legally.

Yes, but then the police wouldn't get any money. Lol.

Nothing? And who served them alcohol?

It's responsibility of a bar to stop serving alcohol to too-drunk customers !

Maybe that's what started the melee.

Stupid is as stupid does. 

What gets me is that someone has to be told that riding against the flow of traffic is wrong. I think it just highlights the careless/stupid attitude toward one's own well being, but more importantly the disregard for another person's safety/life. Ho hum.

you were merely highlighting the fact that it was the most expensive plate, which it wasn't. but nevermind

Stop putting words in my mouth. I never said it was the most expensive. I said It was a fancy plate and wondered how much it cost the taxpayer.

one more thing. prove to me that 9's are more expensive than 5's because i don't believe that. but i will stand corrected if you show that

Look at the item I attached. The single 9 is priced at 230,000, whereas the single 5 is 195,000.

no it isn't. please point to me that it is

7999? nothing as far as i can see

I was merely highlighting the fact that 9s are more expensive than 5s. But never mind.

what's fancy about that plate? 999 means nothing here. 555 are usually expensive

Means nothing here? Is that why it’s the most expensive one in the attached image?

Fancy number plate on the mayor’s van. How much of taxpayers’ money was wasted on that?

I must say I got tired of telling cashiers in Big C etc., that I didn't mind if they put more than one item in each bag. I've started taking re-usable bags now.

There’s no such thing as Thainess. It’s all in their minds. 

Police said the accident happened at 7:45am on the outbound Ploenchit expressway between the Din Daeng and Klong Toei exits.

If your going outbound then it's between the Klong Toei and Din Daeng exits as that's the order they are in, surely.

watch the video. not a single person does anything. no one is calling the police. watch the woman at the table go back to drinking and talking with her friends at the end.

 

multiple kicks to the head.  attempted murder.

 

10 years in Thai prison.

 

next case.

 

 

 

The police probably wouldn't show up, hence the lethargy. I'm not condoning it, just saying.

I would have thought that when you purchase a watch of such expense the company you purchase it off would hold a record of the buyer along with the serial number of the watch.

Expect the reply of, "no have" if the vendor were asked.

you are aware that one of the largest green spaces in bangkok exists at the end of soi 10, the combination of benjakitti park and the new park on TTM grounds?

Yes, fully aware. Apologies though as I thought we were talking about Chuvit Park.

Yes and ALL the previous crackdowns on bad taxi's had such a great effect!

Correct. Nothing will change.

I've taken hundreds (maybe even housands) of taxis here over the past 12-13 years and have never had a single problem. 

I have had drivers refuse to drive me to my destination for whatever reason but I can live with that. No harm done. 

The only real complaint I have is that some drivers drive like Michael Schumacher and I have to tell them to slow down and drive carefully.

As usual, because of a few bad apples, the rest have to jump through hoops. 

The second and third lines negate your first line.

Pathumwan is not KlongToey and who says that the Chuvit Park area is not (going to be) a clean air environment, maybe Pathumwan is trying to keep up with Klong Toey? 

Could you point out where I said Pathumwan is Klong Toey? 

I fail to see how a mall (or similar) will promote a more clean-air environment over a park.
