At least it's in with the sewage.

Not a Chinese style dump in the street or back of a taxi.

Another effort to suck people in...

Ban the trucks in the cbd during daylight hours. 

Use only cng gas vehicles for bus and taxis. 

Enforce lane use.

Change lanes and get fined.

Create one lane for bikes only.

Change lanes get fined. 

That wasn't hard was it?

The easiest way is to actually use the biometric sim chip on the id card. 

Every time they get fined they get it recorded. 

Every additional transgression is a multiple of the last one.

Commit the same offense, pay the fine, but double. 

Do it again, treble. 

Again, four times. 

Even Australia is now implementing the biosecurity system for passport control. 

If you have outstanding fines or payments, they flag up when you try to leave the country. 

Why should little scrotes like this get away with it 78 times.??

(Unless the cousin wasn't working that day who he slips a few baht to, thus avoiding the taxi queues..)

Surely then in order to pay the fine, it will take him probably a week of driving illegally until he finds a first-time ferang he can take to Pattaya for 10,000 baht (plus tollway fees).

I think even first time farang are wary enough to avoid the 10,000 special plus tolls.

Times are tough, and more and more are doing the homework. 

Not to mention that many have access to forums like this.

If I miss the last bus, I willingly pay the 1500 /1600 to sin city.

Anutin said he hopes all parties involved would focus on getting the job done and not on gains or losses from the contract.

With CP on board no doubt the highest returns on Brown paper envelopes is guaranteed. 

something that would have been much lower if an overseas company was involved. 

ROI

return on investment..!!

mai bpen rai...

Just concentrate on those fat juicy Brown envelopes.

put someone in charge that can do the job - preferably not Thai

 

sack all senior executives and replace them with competent people that can do the job, would only need 1/3 of what they have - preferably not Thai

 

investigate everyone sacked for unusual wealth and jail them

It works for Cathay Pacific...

Overseas appointment of CEO.

They have been successful for years. 

They can't even monitor their own police cars ,bikes and emergency vehicles. 

Have more than 13 million unpaid traffic offense fines.

So how will they monitor every single public car, bike and truck?

Just a matter of time before they start to demand  a DNA tests of every foreigner entering the country, a bood test on arrival. After all, every foreigner is a suspect.

Most visitors leave the odd sample or specimens already...

Different strokes for different folks..

My thai partners friend got a good kicking from her thai man last week and fractured her leg.

(He was drunk again)

Police didn't want to know about it. 

TIT.

Reasonable!!!

Yes, we have made significant provisions in the 2020 budget to ensure that all major projects have sufficient padding to keep the flow of Brown envelopes going.

Poor people?

No such thing as poor people in Thailand. 

Every one has jobs.

Unemployment rates are zero.

What who where is BSA?

they want you to buy from them at a premium price?

ha! 

It's a global alliance representing the major players, who obviously want people to buy licenses for their software. 

Like many stories here, this is only as good as the ways its reported.

BSA, Is actually BSA /AML.

Bank secrecy act.

Anti money laundering. 

Acronyms used widely, in global finance industries. 

I think what they are trying to say is IT Audit for all companies and businesses to ensure licensed software is used.

Ultimately the anti money laundering will come into play here somewhere...

BSA Global Software Alliance is a group representing the major I.T. industries worldwide. 

And obviously protecting its business and profits. 

This from a country that uses Windows NT on just about everything, in every government office and department. 

That must be one huge corporate Enterprise License fee that they pay Microsoft...

With a Debt -v- equity ratio like that and ROI not that great, I would be turning the lights off and closing the doors.

(We did it to the Australian automotive industry)

A respected Japanese mentor I had at Denso, said.

No business with no profit, is better than a business with no profit...

The blob on his face was of very bad taste and shows how some officials openly manifest their xenophobia towards farangs.

Some places it would be tantamount to racial discrimination. 

But hey, TIT.

The land where men delight in dressing up as women. 

TV shows with silly noise effects that seem to mesmerize people. 

A day time semi active, semi casual police force. (Scared of the dark)

Selective fining, mainly farang.

(Discrimination again?)

MY country. 

MY laws.

And they wonder why people are looking elsewhere.

2 or 3 days you could possibly put down to bad memory... 

14 days ?? Seems intentional to me....

There's no such thing as bad memory in Thailand.

Unless you are a thai who has borrowed money from a farang...

Or a politician whose reneging on election promises...

Well, you wouldn't want two uglys..

Don't upset another thai driver. 

Don't flash the high beams.

Thats like saying, 

"you wanna have a go"?

You might get....

Attacked verbally. 

Hit with a baseball bat.

Hachette or machete.

Knifed.

Or even shot.

Or all the above. 

Depends how he feels on the day.

(A thai lady friend was assaulted by her thai partner yesterday,  he basically was mao, plus semi stoned and gave her a good kicking. She cant walk now.

Go to the police? Noooo)

That should bring the tourists back..

Oops.

Different topic..

So much is said about the medical uses of cannabis. I hope there will be significant discussion of hemp for paper and for clothing fiber. What a shame to continue cutting forests and growing cotton, with their huge, unnecessary environmental impacts.

And building projects. 

It is virtually flame resistant..

Unlike the wacky baccy...
