No need to get depressed, change always brings upheavals but things are seldom as bad as they appear at first. We need clarity before we can plan, without clarity we are corn between the millstones of TI and BE. I get well over the required sum needed for the extension but I too don't know which direction to take, should I use transferwise each month to deposit the sum in a Thai account ? use the ATM method ? rely on the German embassy continuing to issue the letter as they said they would ? Will IO continue to accept it ? We are being kept in the dark. It would help if we knew what was discussed at the May meeting, what were the real demands of TI, why the drastic action of the BE and US, why wait until now with the announcement and not in May, why haven't all other embassies followed suit, it could even be that this was an over reaction from the two embassies and things will return as they were. The silence from both sides of the spectrum shows, I think, that as of yet nothing has been written in stone, the BE and US may have jumped the gun.

Can only campaign on the day of the vote ! Unless of course you’re one of the “military cabinet members party “ Democracy? Not in Thai vocabulary

I know what you mean. Take Malmo that much featured city because of its high population of immigrants and associated crime. It's got a homicide rate of 3.4 per 100,000. That's 2/3 of the average homicide rate for the USA. Shocking!

Arrogant pilots as well! As so many are in LoS

The liberal socialist parties have failed ! Hope the Swedish Democrat party stay strong ! Visited Sweden 2 years ago and shocked at how much it had changed from a Scandanavian country to a failed multi culture of violence and disorder

You got it wrong. 99% doing a runner [emoji125]to vietnam and
Mexico have Cleary stated they are loaded but do not trust thai banks [emoji23]

As if Vietnam Cambodia and Mexico can be trusted

You can't make this stuff up. It's hilarious

Only an idiot would dance in the head of a pin claiming “road safety “ without defining it and bad driving are not the same ! Let’s put a new one in your vocabulary . “Driving safely “ and under definition we can add “ something millions of Thais can’t do “

My XR delivers to my house tomorrow. I’m not sure when it will be available in the Thailand resellers. Just make sure the price is the same as quoted on Apple/Th.

 
Again an over simplistic interpretation of what is happening There are who stats that relate to traffic numbers/density and KM travelled per vehicle or per person but if you want to go Thai bashing, it's best to ignore those figures as they show the problem is far more=e complicated than just "bad driving".

How do you get around ?

If Thais want to kill them selves on the roads let them carry on ! I would never drive a car/motorbike or travel in a van in the country !

11000 in nine months months, and more if you add those not dying at the scene but later ! Shameful and a stain on what is supposedly a civilised country !

I just finished an online chat with my son after sharing this article with him.

He unfortunately, after primary education in Singapore, and college in the US, had endured high school in Thailand.

His response was; "it's impossible for the quality to get any worse, unless you start getting homeless people off the street to become teachers"

Hard to argue with a kid that went through it!

Lot more likely the electorate were upset with the removal of of their representative and PM, Turnbull, therefore voted for an Independent. IMO it was a bad decision as now we have a compromised minority ruling party at the whim of Independents and far right micro parties.

Thailand streets (Bangkok & Pattaya) are full of the broken society! Masses of beggars and junkies ,that are going to sometimes “interact “ with foreigners ! Consequences follow
