I was told the same by the Colonel who got me my gun. He told me to empty the gun into any intruder as he did not want to have to come to my house with an intruder who was still alive.

What do YOU need a gun for ?

The emphasis on culture in my far north village included such impressive bucket throwing that I witnessed 3 motorbikes downed, a girl in her underwear dancing provocatively on the back of a pick-up in the parade to the temple and inebriation to the point of speechless. Many will wake up clueless about what they did yesterday. 

Which yesterday ?
They are only looking forward !

There was some scumbag Brit in front of the Corner Bar today who started taking peoples hats from them and wearing them. That didn't go over well.  Then he started stopping scooters turning off the engines and calling on the crowd to throw water at them.  This went on for a good while.  Then he started stopping scooters, turning the engine off and taking the keys out.  There were some very pissed off people then.  I decided to leave at that point.  Low life scumbag...

Is he still alive ?

What blows me away is the paltry number of vehicles and licenses confiscated! Is this becuse most people don't have a license?

How do they let the drunk drivers off?  Surely, if they are guilty of drunk driving, they should be immediately charged, fined and, in some caes, jailed?

Typical anaemic response from the slly little generals corrupts legions of bully boys in brown and green.

I applaud the effort to catch them but, once caught, the idea should be to punish them severely otherwise where is the deterrent?

It's clearly not acting as such when the second day produces even more drunks drivers (and road kill) than the first highly publicised day.

 

Maybe it's the same procedure like when get stopped without a helmet ?
Pay your fine, keep the receipt and you are allowed to drink/drive for 24 hours...

Seems fair.......

She was naked at a public place= 1,000

Tourist (possibly unwittingly) sitting on a ledge at a place of worship fully clothed, (possible panty shot) = 10,000

 

Yes, we need more of these police on the streets to look out and protect the tourists as they definitely have foreigners safety and well being in mind.

 

Just fair.
Same at national parks. Thai = 40b / Alien = 400b

Good advice, but it's already a bit too late when your children are 22 and 23.

I really do not understand The Nation and Thai Visa, a few months ago you wrote about 26,000 death people by road accidents per year this is an average of 71 peoples a day now during the peak time Songkran is 99 in two days so less than the year average...can someone tell me what the true is.

Some where too drunk to find their keys...

My grandson still has his water pistol from last year, will the police be organising an amnesty so he can go round and hand it in? Of course, he'll have to turn up with his mother as at 5 years old he's not quite old enough to ride a motorcycle.

Hide it for another 3 years.
Then he can ride to the police station alone   (in the afternoon even without mom's helmet)

I wouldn`t want to be on the receiving end of one of those high powered water guns if on my motorbike. Those water guns are capable of causing serious damage or blinding someone if aimed directly at the eyes. Glad the police are getting them off the streets.

Wear goggles during Songkran ! 
And your helmet! Roads might be slippery...

Lethal water pistols, dartboards, connect 4.......what's next on the RTP hit list. Tiddlywinks and pick-up-sticks?

I am sure this "misunderstanding" can be sorted with an appropriate donation to the Policeman's Ball. 

The icecream with the name "Bam Bam" might be next bcoz that's a sexistic name and is sold to underaged as well ?

Ben Harington's death was at 4 oclock in the morning. The lad was drunk, and driving a motocy without licence or experience. 50% of Thai drivers on Koh Tao don't have working headlights, and maybe even the rental motocy didn't , either. A frontal collision on a narrow road at night can happen anytime, especially in Thailand where they tend to cut into the corners.

Driver fled, maybe even after checking for a pulse. Since the wallet and watch were no longer needed by poor mr. Harington, some poor Thai helped himself to it, after the fact.

 

Why do families always want to have the satisfaction that a death is treated assuspicious, rather than just foolish behaviour, ignorance or just rotten luck  on the part of their loved one?

Some parents should see how their "beloved good kids" behave when boozed up and in 24hours party modus !
Watch them at the islands, Pai, Vang Vieng...
Maybe some would be surprised !?

Brakes failed ???
BRAINS FAIL !!!  Of all involved. Drivers, police, polititians....

There are going to be many shocked partyer's when they find out this will be enforced. The Thai's will fall inline quickly like good sheep lets see how the foreigners will react.

  This year the PM said he wanted people to wear traditional clothes for songkran. It appears the Thai's will do as told. Sales of traditional clothes has rocketed. 

  So I think Thai;s will do as told about this too.

Sales of traditional clothes started already !

Mostly it's the ones without helmets who don't give a duck about safety of themselves or others.

 

I don't care if they kill themselves but they show very clearly how they think about the law. Also it's the first thing tourists in Thailand see, so they think there's no rule of law in this country.

Western tourists...
Some don't need to see locals braking the laws!
SE Asia seems to be the spot where no laws exist for them and where the brain (if there is brain) is on holidays too.
Yesterday I met a young couple 50km north of CM at a gas station, riding a rental scooter. In shorts, bikini and flip flops, no helmets, no shirt...
After a short smalltalk I mentioned it would be better to wear their helmets and shirts or even jackets and long pants.
The answer of the US-boy was: <deleted> off ! We came here to enjoy our freedom. We give a shit on your safety warnings.
Next time I will see a bleeding idiot again, will make me just smile...

what about the falang tourist idiots who wear tank tops, and shorts, and walk around like a bunch of drunken fools  throwing water on everyone? what about the drunk females who wear next to nothing yet take offense when someone grabs their butt?

 

Do you live in Chiang Mai ?

Did they make any suggestions what the foreign-backpacking-fools should wear while fighting at the water-war at Chiang Mai ?
