Why do the police carry guns? When they are not prepared to get involved when there is a shooter on the loose.

I would rather they didn't get involved,

when a VIP would visit Songkhla, you would see a police officer every -50M from HY airport for 30km, and now they aren't equipped or prepared .. hub of excuses.

Some years ago I was staying in HY and one evening I had to drop a friend at the airport on the way I could see police around, sure enough on the way back I got stopped and told to park down this dirt track and turn the engine off, i was there for about 45 minutes until they all went flying by at 100 mph,

Don't know and I didn't ask it was in the JW Marriott in Bangkok 

I would have thought of all places to have a rapid response units would be the head office, great planning that is, now we know why it's chaos on the roads,

I'll explain your Hotel and Car Hire Company are bull sh#tters. Just want to scam you for as much as possible up front. Just arrive and see the truth, empty hotels and hire cars covered in dust. 

I can drive around my tamboon and there is many car and bike rental places full with cars standing idle same with the bikes, they are b/s merchants, same with hotels not busy, ok December/January might be showing busy I saw it last year were tourist were getting their bookings cancelled because the owners thought they could get more money, especially villas,

Somchat later posted on social media that the man had been brought in for questioning, where it emerged he had not paid the road tax on his vehicle.

how many years had he not paid? a Thai guy banged my truck he had not paid it for 3 years,

Probably not having the right license to carry tourists.

He does have a yellow plate, 

Why did he not want to drive through the checkpoint?

You engineer a roof to withstand any weather condition known in the locality .

Obviously the engineering design is at fault and not the rain .

Yes I agree with you, but when was it built? as we all know maintenance is not on the agenda here in Thailand
