Rising Pedestrian Deaths Highlight Urgent Need for Enhanced Safety Measures
Perhaps some more 100+ step foot-bridges would be in order, like these in Mahasarakham !!. I have yet to see anyone using them. Perish the thought of climbing those steps carrying shopping bags on a wet day !

Public Skepticism Persists as Thailand Enforces New Traffic Fine System
''its focus on critical areas such as helmet laws and unlicensed driving.'' So if the license was from one of the ''no problem, we take the test for you con-artist scammers'' then that's OK I suppose ?

Thailand's Beloved Bidet Spray: A Hygienic Tradition with Global Appeal
How have I managed 85 years without a 'bum gun'? What is it for ?, what is it aimed at ? If the motion is properly tapered then there is nothing to shoot at !! Of course, after a nightout enjoying an Indian curry or two then a 'flock of starlings over the chapel roof ' could warrant a thorough hosedown. Secondly , how does someone with a 3xxxl buttock manage to get the 'bb' into position to aquire the target ? We have a 'bb' in each of our bathrooms and I use it to blitz the odd ant or mossie !!

Expat Confusion Grows as Thailand Cracks Down on Helmet Law Violations
So its OK to ride an electric scooter/moped on the roads, no license, no insurance, no helmet and the school kid is 12 years old ? Up in Isaan the police road checks start after the kids are in school and are complete before school out. What size helmet will the 2 year old need sitting on the fuel tank between the rider's arms ?

Abandoned Abroad: British Pensioner in Thailand Slams 'Immoral' Frozen Pensions Policy
Perhaps Thailand should have an agreement like the US........ more money would be coming into the country for expats to spend here. I receive UK state pension of £400 per month which has not increased for 20 years. I have a military pension on which I pay UK tax. I do not trouble the UK NHS, ask for benefits or claim a heating allowance or free bus pass !!... but nice to know that the Immigrants in UK are enjoying their stay that I am helping to pay for. Has anybody seen a copy of the 'Areement' between Thailand and the UK ?

Thailand Faces High Road Fatalities as Songkran Safety Measures Launch
We have police cash points, sorry, check points, in our area throughout the year. All the cones are placed on the road about 30 minutes after the school kids, 3 on a bike, no licence, no helmet, have parked their parent's motorbike outside the school gates. The afternoon check points have the cones removed just before the school kids make their way home, each carrying a drink including the driver !!. The roundabout traffic signs in our area are placed 1 meter from the roundabout. Are electric bike accidents/deaths included in the stats ?
