That’s great. Now they’ll be able to charge foreigners 10 times more than Thais to take a look at it.

How convenient.

I’m going to predict the upcoming press release by the RTP: ”It was all a misunderstanding.”

It’s not called the Royal Thai Police farce for nothing.

Back to normal on the 25th then. Good to know.

And therein lies the explanation for his release.

If it’s down to vehicle and factory emissions then why is the air quality poor for only part of the year? Surely if that was the reason it would be bad all year round. I guess it’s just a coincidence that the air quality worsens when crop burning occurs.

I thought the same. Perhaps the yellow line is only partially opening, which sometimes happens.

My wife just went through a 20-hour driving course with a driver education centre. All went well. She got a licence for both car and motorcycle. The only slight problem is: she can’t drive. Honestly, I’ve let her drive my car and she’s virtually clueless. When I asked her about the course she said she only went on the road for 30 minutes. Total scam, and I worry about how many of these people are out on the roads. I feel sorry for her as she thinks she can drive, but it’s just not safe to let her on the roads. She could kill someone.

He assumed the two motorcyclists may have crashed into each other, resulting in one fatality. That is some pretty fine police work.

This police reform thing seems to be going well.

Perhaps with all good intentions, but in a country with corruption as rife as it is, and with virtually non-existent law enforcement I don’t hold out much hope.

Absolutely tragic. Those poor little souls ????

???? Looks like there was plenty or room to overtake, but he just couldn’t do it without showing off. This is often the case with these tarted-up pick ups with pea-brained drivers. Som nam na.

You beat me to it. That’s exactly what I was going to say!

Condolences to the family, but also this morning I was driving my wife to work when one of these sweepers stepped of the kerb without looking and started sweeping. It was dark and raining. She (I think) had a relatively dark uniform with only a fluorescent ‘V’ on it and I had to swerve to miss her. Luckily nothing was on the outside and I managed to miss her.

????????????????????????????????

I only mentioned it as in the OP a photo (which has now gone) of the Visa on Arrival lane accompanied the article, implying that’s where the OP had gone. But, yes, you’re right they are not the same thing.

The only question I have is this: If it’s ‘visa exempt’ why is the lane leading to it called ‘Visa on Arrival’. It can’t be both. Expats know what it means, but tourists might be confused.

It must have been one of those new driverless cars.

Looks like Mr Soolkiflee didn’t. (Think about it ????)

No, hence the annual chaos ????

No wonder the helmet didn’t help. It looks like it was only made of plastic and styrofoam. No standards, no QC, no chance. RIP young lady.

I think you’ll find that tourism funds tourism development.

Written Thai is not necessary. There is time to learn some spoken Thai, as you don’t need to be fluent.
