Since 20 years the authorities try to get the BKK taxidivers to use their meters....they still don't do it all the time and banned ones use the license of another driver.

 

Phuket and Pattaya don't even have metered taxi's.

 

So why would we think that Chiang mai can stop them from doing it?

Phuket does have metered taxi's at the airport

I think it would also help if loads of Car and Truck drivers changed their attitude to people on Scooters and Bikes they seem to think the bigger the vehicle the more right of way they have, I do have a Fino which I only use day time, only yesterday I needed to nip out just down the road a number of times drivers just pull out of the soi, it's like they dont have to wait for a bike to pass, I should stop for them.

Yesterday also Im coming along the main road 2 lanes wide and the so called parking lane I could see a truck parked up in front of me, he just pulled out into road without indicating were I had to pull over into the outside lane, Cheers!

I do have a truck also I try and give way to the bike as it's more difficult for him to stop than me and I dont drive up their ass just incase they do come off

In my area virtually all the farang engage the services of an agent for their yearly visa. If there was ever an investigation into this (likely) 90% of farang would be chucked out.

 

 

They will come for us all eventually. It's the Thai obsession with keeping their house in order. All we can do is ensure that we are squeaky clean.

 

No taking the rubbish out.

No driving the pickup with non-domestic stuff in the back.

No teaching the local children to play chess.

No listening to western music.

No eating western food.

No dissing durian.

No bribing local officials.

No shagging the local police chief's wife in the sugar field.

No posting dodgy stuff on any forums.

 

They are coming soon to my (your) area.

 

Oh no!!!!! A tank has just stopped outside. Sweat,, sweat,,. It's ok, they have gone into the somtam shop across the road. Close call; that one!!!

Cleaning windows

Over supply of accommodation by 35% as I read the other day

On the overall calculation, it works out at 12.50 litres per min. x 60 min x 24hrs x 30 days.. Impossible..

Take them to court..

I was about to ask the same question also add to that the flow rate

Oh Blimy me

They just came in only last week 

 

Came in where?

Zero the other week wasn't it? Unless the guys have found another way to make money smuggling people across the boarders I guess local people would know which route to take

Cant build tunnels like Ho Chi Min

It'll be back soon. 

No it wont, It will be late

Not going to work thats a police franchise in Patong

Why bother with speed limits? Its a free for all anyway whatever the limit is on any road, if the say 30 they do 60, if the say 60 they do 90

After being pressed by a reporter, who pressing who here?

I drive along Rawai beach road every night between 6-30 and 7 pm it is not busy get to the corner where the gypsy village is, used to be teeming with tour buses and Chinese not now, I dont know about late at night

In my 20 years in Thailand I was always led to believe that Incest and Rape was quiet common in the villages up in sticky rice land

Give the guy a break.

I read the article in Thai that the OP has a link too. He is clearly talking in reference to romance scams, Facebook groups, web dating sites etc.

 

My translation of what he said: speaking for himself he never saw a Thai cheating another Thai. He has seen where foreigners have cheated Thais.

 

In all fairness I have mostly only read about romance scams where Thai women get conned by Nigerians often posing as a desirable Westerner.

 

We are not talking about Ponzii schemes here.

 

Usually Thai's involved somewhere in the scam

Good to know, thanks.

Seems pretty much on time as it passes a bar I have a couple of drinks in 5-20 pm I always end up looking at my watch

I hope you recover soon. but if you are expecting a Thai to say sorry then dont hold your breath
