I think so. Ignorance of the cleanliness of washing with water as opposed to wiping with paper.  I'll wager there would be fewer skid marks on your shorts if you used the bum gun

Get back to BASICS. Start at the beginning and clearly re-define the role of the RTP.

 

What is the PURPOSE of the RTP?

Have a written VISION and a MISSION statement!

Central to all RTP activities must be the recognition of CORE VALUES. 

• Integrity – displayed through soundness of moral principle, honesty and sincerity.
• Commitment – characterised by dedication, application, perseverance and a belief in our ability to achieve and add value.
• Excellence– never-ending search for improvement leads to excellence. Aim for excellence in everything we do.
• Accountability – ownership of work or results and being answerable for outcomes.
• Fairness – being impartial and equitable.
• Trust – having faith and confidence and being able to rely and depend on others.
• Respect – treating ourselves and all others with consideration.

The General with his 'western' education surely understands that there needs to be a fundamental change in how the RTP operates. Until the RTP (and its political masters) understands and accepts accountability and responsibility the RTP will never earn the respect of the public! I hope the PM gives this man the opportunity to change the RTP to what any decent country's citizens would expect of its internal protectors.

 

Much more could be said and added. Should I hold my breath? 

 

 

 

nice comment.....well written....but will they take any notice of your valid points doubt it very much

lots of lies and deception with this case.....how can anybody trust the Police of this country EVER !!

What I find is the major difference

is customer service at Thai Watsadu.

Yes the are the same corporation but staff training must be different.

 

Staff knowledge of their section, products and of the store in general is amazing. Coming close to western standards.

THEIR customer service is virtually non existant....

The best thing about the UK is that PEOPLE have the brains to drive PROPERLY unlike here, no one has respect for fellow road users/drivers and in the Uk never see 4 or 5 on a motorbike.....!!!

go sign in one week before you need to sign in ....problem solved I think

I am interested to know how this is going to work. As an applicant will you be required to provide police reports from every country you have ever been in, to show you are not a criminal? I don't see that they have the resources to be able to conduct such international checks on every foreigner here.

So it is either just bullshit to make wrongdoers think twice about applying for visas here, or it is just bullshit to make Thai people think he is actually working. Either way, to me it still sounds like bullshit.

i have been to the Scilly Isles will I have to get report from Hugh Town police ???

Nothing to do with what happened here, better to stick with what's relevant and the facts.

  The driver did not indicate to other road users that he intended to take a turn ( by using his indicator) which is what caused the student to hit his car.

   This arrogance seems to common amoung many Thai drivers.

they indicate when there IS NO REASON to do so....they get half way past a parked vehicle then put indicator on and PUT HAZZARD warning lights on when wanting to go straight forward at a JUNCTION ....this is NOT WHAT hazzard warning lights are on vehicles for...

IT WAS SUICIDE we all know it was !!!

A farang who lives in Thailand typically pays the local price, whereas the farang tourists does not.  There are exceptions, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it. 

a farang pays THAI price for various places if he/she has Thai driving licence e.g Nong Nooch gardens

It was a perfect candidate for a "roundabout" not that they work here, the trial one on Jomtien 2nd and wat boon junction has been removed and the one at North Pattaya crippled...

 

 

they are NOT taught how TO USE A ROUNDABOUT in Thailand....traffic lights are now back in operation Jomtien 2nd road/Wat boom....been in use for about 4 weeks

what a load of codswallop.....

Every day i see a few dozen familys on motorbikes and a few dozen moms with infants in bamboo seats in front of them.

Why even bother with a article like this. 

This is just another article that shows how far thailand is behind in road safety.

I am guessing about 30 years from now thais will have similar road safety as to western worlds today.

But in 30 years the west will have high speed guided transport and thailand will have baby car seats and law enforcement .

there IS NO LAW enforcement except in the case of farangs....i have seen as many as 5 on a motorbike.....  countless riders NO HELMETS  many non strapped passengers in back of pickups....need I say anymore....Oh and many motorbikes with NO MIRRORS ....new ones at that...

If working illegally and doing a job that can be done by a Thai, then it is harming the People and country, it is taking a job off a local and likely not collecting income tax.

who pays income tax? the bar ladies do not....the food vendors do not....massage salons do not.....barbers/hairdressers do not...restaurants do not.....as far as I am aware !!

why not its only a rat !!
