  1. It would be the same in the UK if the motorbike rider, had no license or insurance, he would lose the claim, we don't know the Russian just might be 100% legal, I have known a couple of English guys walk away from an accident because the Thai's had no license and the police could not do a thing about it, 

    One accident I know of years ago a farang hired a truck and had accident with a minivan full of farangs doing a visa run, none of them had insurance, the rented truck or the minivan, the police tried to stick it on the farang with the truck, he didn't know it had no insurance when he hired it, and that minivan had been all the way to Sadao and back with no insurance,

    The people of Thailand will first need three things to happen before anything will change, none of which are present in Thai culture. In fact, number 3 below is so far down the list of importance to Thai people that it doesn't even register in their brains.

     

    1) Common sense 

    2) Care for ones safety

    3) Care for the safety of others

    You obviously have met the wrong people, stay out of bars, 

  3. Im no expert, but having lived in Phuket for at least 20 years and how the place has expanded and grown I wouldn't mind guessing there is nowhere near enough police to control traffic, we live in the south of the island in Rawai the police station that covers this area is Chalong so from Chalong how big is that area to police? at the moment we are only talking about traffic control, As far as I know it covers Kata and Karon.

    Also have you guys seen them ad's on Facebook groups? Getting a Thai license, you don't need to go to the test center, they do it all for you, and are saying it's 100% legal, how can it be legal if you didn't sit the exam yourself? So licenses are being issued here in Phuket to people not qualified, 

     

    I just found one of these ad's on FB, i cut the contact details out,

    I'm a member at Villa only. I collect pts and tell the cashier when I want to use them for discount. 

    Is that the same system at Makro, BIG C and 7-Eleven or do they discount a little every time you shop there automatically?  🤔 

    I dont know about Villa market, sometimes you can mix and match, I leave it all to my wife, I know Sunday morning we got 10% discount in Starbucks, I don't know where that came from as we don't spend that much in there,, could have come from PTT on petrol, they have a points card there, even your mobile phone, we are on AIS monthly contract, they offer alsorts,
