Contrary to majority opinion here, there are some very good Thai safety managers that are un-corrupted, mainly working for multi-national companies, I will pretty much guarantee non will end up working on this "project"!

and do they condone the wearing of flip flops on a building site, or in a public or private for hire vehicle ?

everything in thailand all bark no bite

60 days for more accidents to happen without any safety measures

you would think it is up to the companies to have safe working practices in accordance with the law, ---  if they havent they should be prosecuted accordingly

i see plenty of workers on building sites wearing FLIP FLOPS  where are the heath and safety inspectors there

thailand has no health and safety -- if it did it would not let school children ride motorbikes 2±up and no helmets

when the beers in the wit is out

dont like green coconuts dont like cocnut water dont like bounty, but give me a hard brown shell coconut that we get in UK and im all over it like a rash.   

tasty tasty very very tasty

thought he was being smart  --  

think ive just seen my future M-in-L

no smoke without fire.

A nice feel good story for once with a happy ending. Hats off to the two Thai men. It's a shame there are not more guys out there like these two honest citizens. 

their are many more people in thailand willing to help you than their are not willing to help you.    same same every country in the world.  i would put it at 99%

yep and thats the story, dont expect to be informed of what happened to these people, never reported.

to legally register their work permit in Thailand and get a working visa for two years. 

so you can get a work permit but it is not legal.   i said hey   Whats going on ???

The panel is focusing on document evidence as they could be linked to the culprit(s), while testimonies from people are only to confirm the information, he added.

i would hope the same rule applies to watches ?

Maybe (although I very much doubt it - except for the 'loss of face'). But they are not appalled and shocked by military dunderheads hijacking a whole nation and keeping it under the boot. In fact - they actively support that!

because on same side

requirement for an alcohol test after every road accident that causes serious injury and death.

 

Is like shutting the door after the horse has bolted!!!!

How about enforcing stricter public transport testing before a driver gets behind a wheel & random breath tests out on the roads for the public !

Just an idea...

the word enforcing does not translate into thai

whatever happened to  "  CHICKEN ESSENCE  " ?

"including a requirement for an alcohol test after every road accident"

AFTER???

 

Why not before?

 

The fact is that the authorities in Thailand have allowed a deadly road safety environment to develop over the last 3 or 4 decades - and now they are trying to fine or punish Thai people for entering the very environment they created.

It was successive Thai governments that have allowed the private motor to be king in a totally unplanned and unregulated transport system...so now they reap the rewards - human error is a constant in all countries it is the duty of governments to create systems where human error is mitigated and others are protected - they have patently failed in this.

 

the duty of this government is to create systems whereby they can remain as the government because they know what is best for the people, thailand and themselves

you can bet their will not be an election in Feb after rhetoric like that. 

Passengers might be allowed in the cargo beds of pickup trucks, as long as they did not sit on cargo bed’s edge and the trucks were travelling at a low speed

when a DPM says it is ok to break the law, is it not suprising that the RTP act the way they do in regards to enforcing the law

i think we should all cut them a lot of slack.

the truth, the truth, YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH

Farang tourists be farang tourists. However, I did know a Thai girl who confided to me (she could never tell a Thai) that she and her Thai boyfriend once found a small room in Wat Arun with no one around and there she lost her virginity. Always smile about that when I see the Wat or pictures thereof.

that is total sacrilege   not something i would expect from any thai girl

would like to hear the farang side of the story

I did a bit of detective work on Google Earth...

 

I've arrowed the start and finish of what is visible - a lot of it must have been built over.

 

As a reference point, the tiny bit of beach at the top of the picture is at the marina end of Walking Street.

good work, and thank you,  its hard to work out where the run off into the sea would be though ?,  i guess im gonna have to be standing in an appropriate position when the rains come
