The daughter doesn’t seem concerned that he was cremated so soon! “Thai culture ?” She perhaps doesn’t know how it works in Thailand! No way cremated so soon when you are not satisfied with cause of death !

A policeman cannot look inside your bag unless you have been arrested! He can ask you to show your ID from bag and volunteer showing anything else ! Beware of your rights even in this crazy lawless country

Pathetic police statement ! They could confiscate their motorised junk but as ever too easy and might hurt the scammers !

What might be settled with a bit of fisticuffs in the car park elsewhere, or the police intervening, here involves deadly weapons and police who always arrive after the event.

2 year old in back of pick up! Thais who have no right to make these decisions on behalf of those they are responsible for but the nation of “irresponsibility” will never change and yes never is a long time

They are stuck either because have no money to travel or to stay so eventually Thailand will accept them!

Maybe you should stop hanging around your bargirls and their families.
 
All my Thai friends who visit Hua Hin eat Seafood when they go there. They aren't rich and they don't live in Hua Hin either.
 
Some of you guys are so out of touch and think you have your finger on the pulse of Thailand. It is hilarious.

There are many cases of Germans making problems for themselves in Thailand. Is there a reason for this?

I discovered a long time ago that most high end restaurant food in Thailand is completely overpriced for what is often very average food and usual small sized portions! One reason I make sure I have a small kitchen and cook my own! oh and now in Lanta with their crazy restaurant prices, it’s 7-11 meals for few days and they seem to be doing a booming trade, shelves emptying quick and the mass of over priced restaurants very few customers!

"Only backward,undeveloped and “unless it happens to me” countries such as Thailand"  ... Well you know what the answer is here for you as regards this Opinion, Buddy !!! ...(With all due respect) ... as I, ..and the 70 million Thais do not have to, and well, thankfully are not going to change for you, or anyone else like you I hope.

There are two ends to the scale: countries such as the UK where the tendency to be nanny state is strong and Thailand, where the tendency is non-existent and even a slight move towards proactive law enforcement would take a lot of time and training to implement - case in point, the helmet law which has improved matters considerably but has taken over ten years to reach this point and still has further to go, it's the way Thai's do these things.

 

So for the police to suddenly perform their role in the same way it's performed in the West, would be a massive culture shift that nobody is really prepared for. In the first instance, the police are not sufficiently well trained or knowledgeable enough to enforce the law, in the second instance the culture here is not ready to accept such a shift from a police force who are seen to be mostly corrupt and inefficient, that's what I mean when I refer to a nanny state in the context of Thailand.

 

If those things are not true, why do the police not simply go out and start enforcing the law at all levels, everywhere....they don't because they can't plus the people wouldn't allow such a large scale shift in policing, at one time in short timescales.

Totally disagree! The public in UK

in general,accept rules and laws (nanny state)whether they like them or not! 99% are there for a good legitimate reason! Only backward,undeveloped and “unless it happens to me” countries such as Thailand would tolerate such carnage on the roads !

I disagree on this point also. Appealing for public cooperation is a viable  alternative to imposing the will of a nanny or police state.

not properly qualified English Language Teachers in Thailand, prone to exploitation

You may be right.  To be honest, I don’t care.  My dear old mother gets cheap fares on the buses, her sister is not bothered one way or the other when she comes up to visit, and whether strangers get a cheap fare or not is unlikely to make much difference to the overall cost of service.
 
if I was a bus driver, in a fixed salary, I don’t think I would bother.  “OJ, Grandad; you’re not from round these parts, are you? That’ll be four pound forty five, and mind and tender the correct change”
 
i’n not sure there’s any documentation that shows you’reboth A local resident and a crumblie.  As I remember, before my dear old late grandmother passed on o greener pastures where the quiet waters flowed, she had a specific bus pass for the Corporation buses, and for the SMT buses.  
 
But it to be honest, I don’t care.  I pay full fare on the BTS, and if other people are unhappy paying full fare they can piss off, and maybe I’ll get a seat.  The last thing I want is to be stood next to some miserable Johnny Foreigner complaining that I’m not wearing a shirt and that I’m fondling  my rented Trollop. In both cases, i’ve Paid full fare, and I’mnot charging you to watch

NO farang is "forced" to be "a victim of discrimination and double pricing" in LOS. Can't accept it? You know what to do.
