Actually, I think the Thai casino idea is a good one as it would challenge Hun Sen and his family's hold of the gambling income stream around here that they rely on to hold power, plus would generate tax revenue for Thailand too. This is probably why Cambodia is being hostile at the moment, because it doesn't want gambling legalised in Thailand... to any extent. I say go for it, and choke off some funds flowing to the ex-Khmer Rouge district commander and his family.

Why any country would let in mass amounts of uneducated muslim men with nothing to offer other than their dogmatic religious nonsense towards women is just moronic. Islam teaches that all non-muslim women are there to be prostitutes or sexually serve muslim men... how studpid are European countries?

Both are entitled morons... but that's the new norm, which is there is only me in the universe.

The Thai authorities reaction will probably be to tighted restrictions on western expats because "foreigners" are making problems... rather like recently to make the roads safer, they increase barriers to driving licences for foreigners (when it's the Thais making the roads unsafe) or restrict access to bank accounts when all the mule accounts are held by Thais or Chinese people. When you hear these stories about Thailand not being safe for Chinese visitors, rarely are they told that it's your fellow countrymen preying on Chinese tourists and people.

Bit of a facepalm really on this one, looks like he was asking for it, very reckless. Driving your car around at that time, probably a DUI too, and you crash into a sign and then take umbridge with the rescue services, plus the cops show up and you have bottles of booze on the passenger seat... you're done. This "teacher" has just got himself a one-way ticket home. As for the comment about how do teachers afford cars, well, guess it depends what type of teacher you are and where you work. If you are a teacher at some high school like Assumption, then yeah, more difficult to afford one on that 30-35k a month... but if you work at an international school or top-tier university, then the salaries are much higher.

Good, split the Labour vote as the Labour party is essentually two parties together. There are those that thought with Starmer in charge they would get a Tony Blair/Gordon Brown "New" Labour 2.0 style government and the other lot, which is larger than many think, is Corbyn's hard-left Labour bankrolled by the unions. No problem with me if all the far-lefty communists coalesce into a single party and everyone can see them for what they really are, rather than hiding in plain site pretending to be mainstream Labour, as they will become irrevelent and do far less damage. Hopefully Corbyn will get all the Momentum morons to jump ship too and stop being the cancer they are in the Labour party now.

Very few Thai government ideas survive contact with reality... the Ministry of Grand Plans and Lofy Ideas at it again.

Well, letting in all the Indians and Russians will make that happen, as HIV is widespread in both populations... even if under reported.

About time as this stupid nonsense has gone on far too long and is an afront to women's sport.

Actually, not really, after you stop... assuming you live at that speed. If there is damage to the back of your car and damage to the front of their vehicle plus debris all over the road it's pretty much a done deal. However, what you must do is to take photos of the incident from an angle that shows the whole situation with an identifiable landmark in the background... i.e. a row of shops or road sign etc. so you can prove where it happened. Although, for those out there that want to be super-sure and maybe a little paranoid, then fair play... get a rear-facing one too, but it is a little overkill.

Well, with the rear mounted one, it's less important, as you can just jump out your car and start taking pics on your phone and it's easy to establish who is wrong with that situation... more difficult to do at the front without a dash cam.

Nah, someone will find a way to turn it in a Trump bashing thread somehow.

Unfortunately, these sort of totally stupid situations are pretty much par-for-the-course when driving here. You need to be very careful when driving around because getting into an impact/altercation with any other vehicle/person can be problematic on a few fronts. Firstly, the way the insurance works, as most people (if they have it at all) just get the cheap one that pays for someone else's vehicle if it turns out to be your fault... problem is that you need a dash cam to even have any hope of getting it straight with the local cop that it wasn't your fault. Also, many Thais don't bother with it so the cop might side with them to help them out and get your insurance to pay for stuff. Secondly, anyone driving like a moron you should just let them speed past you and get out of the way... the hidden benefit to this is that if the cops are up ahead on the road doing a check, then they will be busy dealing with the moron when you arrive, and it's not a race track even if certain sections of the moron locals think it is. Thirdly, don't get angry or show road rage, even using your horn and annoy some of them, just employ your emotional intelligence and pass it off... lots of Thais carry weapons in their cars and can act like 12 year-old-boys in the playground. Also, make sure you are completely legal, like with license, tax, copy of blue car book info, insurance et al or they will use it against you if anything goes wrong. The type of driving from the locals I really dislike is the habbit that motorbikes have of just joining a road from the side and not looking or even stopping, just drive out and expect you to miss them... often committed by older Thais that still think a highway is the same as the village. To be honest, getting into a crash or altercation on the roads can be one of the worst possible things you can get involved in here, as it can have drastic consequences... much caution is advised to all that drive here.

This clown of a woman can't even wear matching shoes when out in public... nuff said, complete muppet.

Anutin is a big facepalm.
