, was annoyed that the facial recognition feature on his new iPhone X wouldn’t scan his face.

Happens if you lost face before bcoz you walk around in flip flops which are 4 sizes too big for your feet.

Didn't I read somewhere last year that there would be no more flooding?

 

Not the same flooding anymore ?

So they did wake up on Saturday for lunch.
After somebody told them that the road between CM and CR is damaged already ?

No Thanks, paid into NI for 36 years and   never had anything, now Ive left they wont help. If I cant pay I accept i will die.

Money is put aside for emergencies and I dont want the get out clauses many insurance companies  will trump up. Govt never takes care of you anyway so please govt dont tell me what to do, I accept the risk.

Easier to get people to sign a disclaimer on arrival saying  you accept you may die if you have no insurance.

European governments only care about you as long as you pay taxes so they have enough money to waste and fill their own big wallets.

Fine is 500 baht ?
For foreigners in CNX it is 1000 baht already.
Chinese pay 1500 sometimes...

Create a license to feel responsibility, teach them to drive only when sober and without anger....
Job done !

"...Thai banks ‘prepared’..."

 

I hope so but it still sounds like an oxymoron to me.  

I believe that Thai banks have the safest system worldwide ?

SEXY ?
I have seen girls more sexy on the rice paddies ...
(Just my subjective opinion)

You are going to stop 18-21 year old men and women from having sex?

 

 

Good luck!

 

PS We are all anonymous here...

 

Even allowing for differences in cultures, how many members think Thai men and women are virgins when they graduate?

 

How many members were virgins when they graduated Uni?

 

How many members think this will be a effective policy?

 

 

How many highschool girls do I know who have a kid already ?

Was he also fined for steering a motor vehicle transporting passengers while watching a movie as he weaved through traffic? Or did that much more severe law infringement go unnoticed?

Would only get fined for this AFTER the crash...

1) I always buy travel insurance when traveling, but I disagree that it should be mandatory. (2) So because the government does not enforce safety measures through fines, jails, or suspension of the operation of a business, I will be made to have travel insurance because the government doesn't provide a service that every government should provide - that being enforcement of safety rules and regulations. Also, if this ever comes to fruition, I bet the Chinese won't have to buy the insurance, they already get treated like royalty. The Chinese government is even beginning to print Thailand's money.

 

Creation and enforcement of safety rules and regulations on roads, boats, jet ski's, etc I think would be the best way to reduce any burden on Thai hospitals and any tourist compensation fund. 

 

I guess, as usual with the creation of any emerging country, governmental departments don't work together to find a solution to the problem. I hope things can improve and the Thai people will figure this out, without giving any one race of people, like the Chinese, preference over others.

For every tour operator it is mandatory to conclude a TRAVEL BUSINESS INSURANCE.
So if the government/TAT doesn't check their operators if they follow the law...

"...The report looked at data from 2017, ranking countries on where the most insurance claims were made and Thailand came out on top. The report found that Thailand accounted for 23 percent of travel insurance claims made in 2017 – more than any other country..."

 

Forgive me and apologies to all my British friends, but I interpret this to mean that the dodgiest Brits visit Thailand, not that Thailand is the riskiest...

 

 

 

Or should some of them just include more sober days in their vacation ?

Applying common sense, and applying proper punishments for offenders would be a great start. 

I don't really see the need to be looking to other country's methods, as the problems are mainly caused by the person behind the steering wheel, the majority of which here, have had no proper training in driving skills.

...and no sense for responsibility ?

Maybe around 10,000 per month like so many working in retail and service jobs. And they are still alive, have food everyday and lead a passable life. So please TV stop spreading myths and foreigners should stop moaning that you can't survive with or less than 25k per month. Of course if you drink everyday, only eat out and with western food, probably frequent some bars it can be difficult....
But other than that with a moderate lifestyle 25k is doable in BKK, more even in smaller cities or upcountry.

Thanks for your post, can only agree with you.
But those who need western food, cheese, regular beer, bar entertainment, aircon a.s.o. to be happy might have a problem to get around with 25K or less.
Looking forward to the "nice replies" of the pros ?

What has that to do with this thread?

Just tried to explain that it is not that easy to "have your own business in 28 European countries".
Maybe not eactly following the thread, but it was written in a post.

Correct I am not German.

I am, and I had a business there for 20 years.
It's more easy to run many kind of businesses there for people from neighbouring EU countries bcoz for them there are EU regulations, for German nationals there are still much harder German laws to follow.
