For the life of me I cannot understand why at these roadblocks, road side checks they only look at registration labels and wave you on.

 

They rarely check if you have a licence, let alone look inside to see who is driving.

 

I have been coming to Thailand since 2005 and have NEVER had a breathalyzer carried out on me and I am on the road daily and have driven all over Thailand.

 

Back in Sydney, same day I arrived, had a breathalyzer carried out on me, in the 11 days I was there recently, I was breathalyzed 3 times, morning, midday and evening, different days of course, just goes to show who is serious and who is not, who have a real police force and who doesn't.

 

 Same time every year another brainstorm suggestion by a minister with no balls to justify he is considering doing something, but nothing comes of it because the guys down below aren't interested and don't fear the boys up top.

Totally agree, if Thailand police policed roads like Aussie police, think half drivers here be off road.

 In South Australia many POLICE PATROLS out day and night.

Police are always seen on road, here never see police cars stopping drivers.

Get a real traffic police force and decent laws and things might change. Impound cars or unlicensed, due drivers  and unregistered cars, 500 baht a day impound fees.

Things change quickly once news spreads.

Any way pigs will fly.

Seriously even if she could why would she want to do that.

I you care about her why would you want to take her there.

Cultural differences vast,.

With gps technology these days it surprising all trains worldwide don't have a screen showing all trains within a few kms radius.

I hired a car in USA last year and with cruise control on impossible to run into car in front of you. Surely there must be technology these days to slow down trains approaching each other on same track.

Humans intervention needed to watch and over ride in emergency. 

No going to sleep though.

Agree with comments before planes and trains still safest way to travel. 

Long distant buses no thanks.

Many of us on here who have a decent Thai wife could  probably assist. 

If you looking for hottie possible gold digger be quite a few here could also help.

I know few decent ladies but  in 40s and early 50s

Sounds bit high. Could be about right if you run pool pump 10 hours a day and have 6 airconds running.

My highest been 2700 when people staying, I have 4 airconds but rarely use. Guest run 1 all night.

Pool pump and water pumps be my biddest consumers.

I run pool pump 4 hours a day only.

I was told at Chiang Mai last week can do. Jump on bed with missus few snap shots and Bob's your uncle. Lol

Mind you Often wrong information is provided.

I'm scared to death by this corona vius and want to be prepared. What whisky will save my life? Scotch? Bourbon. Maybe a single malt?

Love the stuff no messy mixing, just add ice and goodbye worrying about virus

Probably just me scaring birds out the veggie garden.

I think it BS when you drive towards town looks worst.

Once you know what 1 you want Lazada

We were married in Australia 8 years ago never registered here.

Have marriage certificate translated to Thai though and notorised and stamped by Australian embassey in Bangkok. 

I have retirement Visa not sure if that would be acceptable if I change to marriage Visa later this year.

Kasikorn send mine in English after I made a request 2 years ago. Needed it for a money transfer company I used to use.

Now from Australia I only use smartway.

I surveyed 3000 motor scooters with a little hottie on the back. 

2,998 had a Thai guy  on the front.

I estimate 100 plus of the hotties had a Farang husband.

I think most prefer Thai guy.

????????❤❤????????

Flush, wash hands and forget.

Blood would definitely be a worry if seen, think of the positives, blood be easier to see in the white sausage.

????❤❤❤????????

My wife quotes her phone number to access her big c reward card. I ALWAYS PAY WITH KASIKORN Creditcard. Never have to sign.

Yes to collect rewards my wife has to show her ID Card.

Going on a cruise now seems like a bad idea. Cruise are great but now could turn into a high class jail like experience.

Wonder if you get billed for extra days. No problems if goid travel insurance.

Think the Coronavurus will be added to exclusions soon. Hop in and get your insurance quick.

I doubt the chinese really know how many have died or how many have the virus.....the numbers given, then multiply by four just as a start.

You being very conservative probably x 100s.

Would you trust anything they say, they got their economy to protect.
