Oh Buddha! Now monks have set up their own booze den
brianthainess replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Just a bunch of unemployable lazy free loading bums with very dodgy ethics and backgrounds. IMO -
The victim was a well known, respected doctor causing it to be a high profile case, so he won't just walk, which probably would have been the case had it been a poor person. He might even get a token jail sentence, stranger things do happened. Also interesting to know that driving a M/C without a side mirror is an offence (not properly maintained vehicle) Jeez their are thousands of not properly maintained vehicles out there BIB !

As already posted people learn by example, there is a young girl just turned 12yr lives near me, and allowed by her parents to drive a M/C with no helmet. Another neighbour young single mum, drives with 3yr old as pillion and ALWAYS staring at her phone, and i mean ALWAYS no helmet of course, lives with parents who also never wear helmets.

Also the fines are high, I can remember in my youth, I got fined for a bald tyre, the fine was more than a new tyre plus of course i had to buy a new tyre. Lesson learnt.

Balcony rails are defiantly too low, and as for suicide or toppling over IMO it will nearly always be defined as suicide because of mitigation to the builders/owners etc. I was nearly going to buy a condo one time, and i can assure you the very first thing I would have done would have been to fit an extra rail to above my waist line.

Trat office used to have their list in Thai, the first time I obtained it about 3/4 years ago, I asked the young officer ''how many Thais need a marriage extension ? It should be in English"- " your wife can tell you'' -''but her english is not too good''. Anyhow i made my application and when i went to pick it up, the young female officer, came running up to me all smiles, with the list of documents written in English. Sometimes we can make a difference. #14 on the list -

Marriage extension

Visa run to Cambodia

Just be aware that changing from marriage to retirement, your marriage ext. and vice versa, will end the day you apply for retirement extension so you could loose a few weeks if applying earlier as an example.
