The number of foreign tourist arrivals in the first half stood at 26.5 million, up 2.83 per cent year on year.

Where are they all hiding ?

The 'previous' military government was simply enforcing existing laws to bring some much-needed law, order and discipline to the country.

 

Which previous military govt? I havent noticed any change since the election.

Please explain! What are the "much-needed law, order and discipline" they enforced ?
Did I miss something ?

 And why no mention / comment from the police? And why no comment from a senior person in education? 

Because they supp whisky together ?

So 10 year old kids have to repair a road at school.
Wonder if this is part of their school education ...
Director is pissing off instead of showing responsibility. Why I am not surprised about ?
The family is asking for compensation of which the poor young boy will not see a single bath anyway.

NICE !
I hope young man, you will recover quite well without being handicapped and in pain for the rest of your life.

RIP poor young girl.????

To keep a loaded 9mm in an open compartment BEHIND his seat makes sense ?
In reach of a VERY drunk guy, while pissing in the bushes ?
VP shows responsibility ?

Now block me if something of this is not legit to question ! 

A barricade WILL be erected ?
Why didn't erect it long time ago ?
Did the leader of the herd not ask for it ? So he is responsible !

RIP big amazing animals ????

FAIR for many is when they can make the better deal.
Cheating seems to be part of the culture.

My first Thai gf kept going where we met: Thaifriendly. I asked her why and she said that she had friends on the site. I asked her how she would feel if I kept using the site and she then deleted her account. Met my wife on the same website and did not even have to ask for her to delete her account. 

... and then they opened a new account under a different name as they usually do ?

Coz they squash up on the bench seats, just like me & mates did back in the UK in the 70s in family cars.

Not only you.
What I wanted to say is that a "professional" van driver who carries so (too) many passengers doesn't seem to be very responsibly from the beginning of his trip.
Same as the one who organized the trip.
This wasn't a fun trip of some mates ...

How is it possible to hit the rear of another driving truck and cause such damage?
 

I guess we are all happy and hopeful to hear the result.

Because fully loaded trucks on sections of this highway can't drive faster than 20 km/H and the van driver was speeding as usual ?

What I don't understand is why students are being transported places at 1:00 A.M. or even later? This is the 2nd or possibly 3rd serious accident I have read about in the last 2-3 weeks where students were killed or severely injured while being transported to/from school related trips in the middle of the night. It does not make any sense. Clearly it is much more dangerous to be on the roads in the middle of the night.

What I don't understand is why are 17 passengers + 1 driver in a Commuter as the max. number of seats is 15.

I wonder if the truck had working tail lights. So many times I have seen these big trucks with tail lights that are not working or are so dim that you don't see them until you were right up on top of them.

Sorry, what did you learn about the speed to go driving in the night when you made your driver's license ?

YES, they really love their pets.
My friend's dog is too fat to walk and breath, but she's still feeding it with chocolate...

Calm buddhists showing their cowardly and violent habits again ?

I knew a British guy whose Thai wife gambled away over 10 million baht while he was away on business. Some stupid card came similar to hearts.

If she has access to 10 million baht - som nam na ????

What a friendly face. LOS?

Why don't these guys get in their shoes and go out to ask those people who really get in touch with tourists about their situation now ?
Do they have any clue where/how the Chinese spend money ?
Do they remember the full roads and night bazaars a few years ago ? Where did those tourists come from ?

NOT 38.2 million tourists. 38.2 million ARRIVALS. Big difference

Why don't they tell for how long tourists stay in the country ?
Because people who stay in Bangkok for 6 hours waiting for a connecting flight count as tourists as well ?

Pm2.5 is 133 in kanchanaburi this morning. Thai government dont care about the health of people clearly. They just want more stupid tanks, submarines and helicopter's. 

I should add that if you buy and consume fattening things its your own fault. How much help does the government really assist with that calls for a tax increase?

Its all bs...

My guess: The real reason is ???? ???? ????

When I read the head line, I hoped they would start regulating and make security checks at zip-lines ... ????

During the late Vietnam War (1972-73) all prostitutes were registered and regulated since gonorrhea and syphilis was rampant here back then.  Pleasure girls carried a 'VD book' with their photo, registration number, and, stamped pages revealing a history of required periodic medical exams (every 2 weeks IIRC).  A prospective customer could ask to see the book and verify the date of her last 'VD check'.  He could also report her registration number to police if she gave him more than he bargained for. ????????

 

Back to the future, I was actually shocked when I returned to LOS in 2004 to find the government had abandoned this not perfect, but better than nothing, 'VD' regulation and monitoring system.  Go figure.

Now only ALIENS get checked for syphilis every year to extend their work permits. ????

Great idea. Take polluting vehicles off the road and Bangkoks traffic problem is solved overnight.

 

Lock the drivers up for 2 days, after that continue driving the old cars again ...

I can never understand why people continue to carry prohibited drugs. There are enough stories of people getting caught and receiving substantial jail sentences, even the death penalty in certain countries ruining their and their families lives.

Greed is stronger ...
