I live in a quiet soi with 12 soi dogs and one owned dog running about 24 hours a day. Other than the 11.00pm howl and the occassional scuffle between themselves the dogs are harmless, most of them running away from humans, even those of us who see and feed them each day. In 3 years in Thailand the only time I have had problems with dogs they have been owned dogs. Bitten by a lab cross that got out of the gate to the property, attacked by a Rotti that jumped a garden wall to get at me and, most recently, attacked by a collie cross that lives in the next soi as I was cycling by. It is definitely an owner problem if these dogs attack. I have had, trained, and worked with many breeds and 9 times out of 10 it is how the owners train and treat the dogs that leads to them becoming aggressive. And as for the breed being dangerous, my ex wife had a Ppillon that attacked a copper in the UK. Hardly a dangerous breed but when she refused to walk or train it the dog became terrotorial and aggressive towards strangers. Start by licensing dogs and licensing breeders. Soi dog foundation and other charities to a good job of neutering soi dogs but dog owners should be made to do the same. If you are not a licensed dog breeder your dog doesn't need nuts!

Stop them driving on their Thai driving licence for 6 months after arrival. Make them get an IDP and take a national driving test before they can get behind the wheel in another country.

Yep, their attitude is "Let's keep increasing the duty on imported beers so everyone drinks ours as the affordable option, and not allow any - even personal - brewing in the country then we can all have a new Mercedes every year on the kickbacks from the big brewers." This country's relationship with alcohol is just wierd, Buddhist country (supposedly) that bans alcohol sales for Buddhist holidays and whenever else they feel like it. Either go full booze ban on religious grounds or open up the market to free enterprise. don't <deleted> around in the middle just to stay rich at the cost of your population!

Start with their own then. I nearly got taken out, along with 2 students, by a traffic cop on his PCX hammering through as we crossed the road ON A CLEARLY MARKED PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. Had he been heading to an incident he might have had an excuse if he had blues and twos on. What he actually did was pull in at a raodside food stall 150m down the road and get his lunch.

Mere coincidence that he decides to come out with this statement when the court are about to adjudicate on the suspended PM's situation re: remaining as PM. Veiled threat or omniscience?

Makes about as much sense as all those people who went out and burned their $600 Nike shoes when something bad appeared in the press about the company. Some folks were actually going out and buying new pairs of the shoes just so they could virtue signal that they were against the company.

Maybe because he was sending envelopes the right way but now he's retired he decided to pack up and leave LOS with his millions and the powers that be haven't finished milking him?

Let's be honest, with so many vehicles with heavy tint on the windows how can the police even see if the driver and passengers are wearing seatbelts. There's a damn good reason most countries limit the degree of tint permitted on side and fronfront side windows and/or ban the tinting of windscreens. Hard to enforce a law if you can't see it's being broken.

And you can provide conclusive proof of that claim?
