Sorry, but I have to state the obvious solution :

Delete your Fakebook account and move on with your life. 

 

Whatever the reason you originally had for signing up it should be obvious by now that you're being used, abused, exploited, and monetized for all your worth and then some. It just gets worse everyday. 

It does take a month of abstainance (or is it three? )  to delete your account. Be careful NOT to log in accidentally or the clock goes back to ONE.

'Or threaten social media exposure'. And risk being sued.????

I never said to do it, only threaten.

It's a single track at that point.  Freight trains and express trains (don't laugh) would have a green distance signal and a green on the home signal to indicate the points were laying for the mainline.  If the train was to go into the 2 road through the points the distance would be on reduce to medium (yellow over green) and red over green on the home signal.  If the freight train was going into the yard the home signal would be red over red with a low speed light.  Not sure of the colour here in Thailand but purple or yellow is often used back home with the speed indicated on that signal if lower than the normal slow speed attributed to the low speed light.  

 

A bit hard to tell but it could be a SDA3 locomotive that can do 100kph.....but no idea if it was in fact doing that speed.  With bogie wagons as seen it may.

Look at the very first picture in the post where there is a blue passenger coach and the coach wreck, and tell me that it's a single track again.

Surely the Big V would only directly affect the Rams, so I hope the 80,000 indicates the total number of rams & ewes or is that just the horny old rams!   LOL

There is a station, with multiple tracks, next to the incident place; it could be that other trains are passing...????

Do you really think that they would allow other scheduled trains to pass while they are recoveing bodies?

I didn't think so until I realised TIT!

My old Toyota Vigo lasted 6-7 years on one battery but then it only had a Cd player

So with a digital media player, mp3s etc, you should get a couple of more years out of your battery.   LOL 555

People often get the animals after they move in, we lived in a condo with no pets allowed but the woman downstairs had about 15 cats. These pitbulls need to be put down.

Sad, but true.

According to eyewitness accounts, the bus driver had stopped at the railway crossing for a train but he reportedly did not notice the alarm for another train coming from the other direction.

Those eyewitnesses did not then see what is shown on the video ie the bus did not stop at the crossing, simply drove straight over it without looking to the left.

If as they say another train had passed from the right, why was that not shown on the CCTV video. Total lies from them.

They both collided. No confusion. Colliding doesn't imply fault.

I was simply pointing out the difference in the reporting, in the same article. Obviously the train collided with the bus which was obviously at fault.

There is a Youtube video of the accident, probably from a CCTV surveillance camera, in which it seems like there are warning lights, but I cannot see on the video if they were signalling...

 

 

This video, and the photo on the OP are of different accidents. The first one shows passenger coaches stopped at the scene. This video shows goods/freight trucks and the train did not stop at the scene.

  08.11am After looking again, I suspect the passenger coach was one brought up to bring rescuers or ferry victims.

So here I sit, Anglo Saxon, Engineer, and my last post was About tolerance  for my gracious hosts here in the land of smiles.

At this point, clearly, the focus is on the family’s and rectifying  ( and most importantly assigning blame) in this horror show. And the 34 yr old  bus driver who proudly made it past 4th grade.

If this country wants to play on the world stage, put on the BIG Boy pants, have dinner with Putin, Xi, Trump,& Boris, this stops here and now.

The world is laughing AT you, not with you.

The system is corrupt to the core.

Here and now, before the next news cycle, IT IS IMPERATIVE, what  remnants of a judicial system is put to task.

Western justice, an eye for an eye, backed up by BILlIONS of Thb in punitive damages.

Lots of undeclared gold in safe houses. LOTS.
 

I will pray for the innocent souls who trusted their government to protect them, and paid with their lives.

Somehow, I don’t think the survivors will be gracious with 20 kg of rice .

 

and it must be said, this is the same group who think they are the safest country in the world:Re Covid.

news flash, it’s no worse than the common seasonal flu.

 

All the posing for the cameras   Fictional updates, is simply optics.

 

Sources Say.

Khio Naew says driver was 54, you say 34. Who's correct? As if it really matters.

Wrong, he did have a license.

How do you know that, did they find it on his body? And how did he get one if he did?

Where have you been looking?

 

Tesco, HomePro, Global House, Lazada etc. all have various shapes and sizes of container with sealed lids.

What sort of sizes are you looking for?

Cake sized!  LOL

Loads in Tesco & Makro, or I use emptied biscuit tins. They don't need to be round if your cake is square. 

I am a master baker myself and always seem to find somewhere to put my product!   LOL

I have my retirement extension money in a Foreign Currency Account, still in GBP. Totally accepted by Immigration if accompanied by a bank letter with that day's equivalent in THB.

I actually got a Lazy Boy 'leather' office chair replaced (by another brand) under warranty by Office Mate at 15 months old, but that was after contacting LB head office in USA. Crazily, they also compensated me for the bad chair = win-win! I think if you push enough with the top men, you could get somewhere. Or threaten social media exposure.

Again. If you’re worried about that, your home country has severe punishments for drunk drivers. So what brought you here? You should stay where it’s safe! I strongly recommend anyone who just criticizes Thailand should go home. You will be much happier with nanny state laws. 

This must be one of the craziest replies I have ever seen on T Visa.

Yes, my country does have severe punishments for drink driving, but that's no good if the pi55head has just killed you and your wife and children.

Do YOU drink & drive lust?

Who would seriously want to travel within Thailand at this time with the continuous rainfall we are experiencing?

Continuous rainfall? I know a low depression was forecast for most of the country for this weekend.

Here in Phitsanulok we have had Mr Sweet from the Football Association.

And? Did you not do your due diligence and research before deciding on moving here? Thailand is soooo much more dangerous than my home country. And I LOVE it.

Until that drunk trucker hits you head-on. Will you still love it ?

Should Ant/Dec not have said to the third place guy Ïs there anything you want to say to the viewers who DIDN'T vote for you'. Would have made a more interesting response!

Of course... I've bought from them many times, but they dont have an option or a page/form to pre-select the components, then build it for you. Apologies if my OP wasn't clear on this.

Sorry lupin, I posted this ,then deleted it because I re-read your OP. But the actual BUILDING is a piece of p1ss, easy and interesting to do.
