Pick-Ups again. Thais drive them like the car companies advertise them, fast, furious doing the impossible. Car companies should take a lot of responsibility for road deaths in Thailand. 

Surely their is something wrong with the design of these vehicles??

This incident needs to be investigated by a competent officer of the RTP.

Wonder if they can find one!!!

Why is Thai Visa NOT ALLOWING COMMENTS on the protests in Bangkok????

Because it's news provider is not allowing it.

Check the other English newspaper. Although not 100% it shows a pair.

Gee whizz you wouldn't realise a protest was happening according to thai visa!!!

Not sure what to make of this weeks post/rant rooster, but just to say you need a rest

from trying to give a rest from tying to give a positive slant to Thailand every week.

really I don, understand tou peasants. I am a privleged member of society so get back to the fields.

Spelling mistakes are intentional

doesn't look much like a tease to me.

It is both intimidating and very dangerous to the child,

I assume the lawyer doesn't have children. If he does, he is only after blood money.

Shame on you buffoon.

I think I misread that, I thought he wanted the new recruits to

 teach the older officers on how to use Social Media.

Get rid of the military style uniforms, get rid of the sticks and -------

I am really at an end to try and understand Thai philosophy regarding this pandemic.

Close the borders and let no one in.

Let the Chinese in en-masse.

Let the citizens go where they like, but they must wear masks even though the has been no local transmission for umpteen days.

I just wish for once that he would listen to the views of the average citizen.

The foulmouthed idiot deserves everything coming his way.

Have the lands department checked his land titles?

I have read two items on this Thai News thread and I am amazed with Amazing Thailand.

I have been here for 23 years and I just wonder how I keep my sanity.

Luckily I spend more time on Western news sites.

I would really love to comment on this thread, but.,,

It is too ridiculous were words, Come to Thailand to enjoy your 2 weeks in quarentine 

, enjoy the the best of Thai TV [it's in Thai].

Lastly it's September, not April.

An interesting read as usual !      

 

Nah,  didn't read it yet,  just wanted to beat that Samoan guy .    Now let me see what Roooooster says

Don't bother reading it. the most boring read yet!

We have a government made up of convicted dug smugglers, cheats on exams, insulting xenophobes, money launders etc.

Why worry about this?

From reading this nifty report from the government PR folks, you almost wouldn't know that vast numbers of elderly and disabled in Thailand (those outside BKK, according to news reports) didn't receive the monthly payment they were supposed to receive in the past week.

 

Does the above article make even the slightest mention of that? No....

 

Did any of the pollies miss a payment. I bet not.

Rooster, I read your column every week liking some and hating some.

This week's opening was a load of hogwash.

The belief in myths which extends to religions is one of the fundamentals 

that causes wars and mistrust throughout the world.

The outstanding problem is the lack of effective enforcement and minimal penalties when an issue is raised on social media (500 baht fine and a wai) does nothing more than reinforce and further enable the sense of entitlement of those with flagrant disregard for rule and courtesy towards others. 

 

These problems are not dealt with, far from it in fact, the consistent message is ‘do what you want, you’ll get away with it’... 

Is there a Thai word for "common courtesy?

I read the opening post 3 times and then checked the calendar.

I was surpried that the date was september and not April.

It is not impossible to have respect for a lot of politicians throughout the world,

but it's impossible to have respect for any number of Thai politicians
