DSD, your comment about 'spatial awareness' is just spot on, it really is.
I'm sure most of us must have cringed many times when we spot a potentially dangerous situation appearing, only for locals to look surprised at our concern.
Or do we as ferangs just 'worry too mutt'?
You worry too much. Thai people say “ch” at the end of a word as t sound. Because of the rules with ช. We can start the word with “ch” sound but not at the end.
yinns road safety tips
1) drive a car. Motorbike is dangerous. Pick up go over too easy. Van not safe
2) Wear a seatbelt
3) don’t go fast
4) if have rain, turn on light, go slow
5) not drunk
only about ten people per day die in car crash in Thailand. I don’t think happen to many foreigner. 30 million per year come to Thailand.
How many tourist really die in a car crash? Anyone?
And 80% of that 10 per day is drunk or speed. No seatbelt.
So if you follow Yinns safety, only two per day. You only going to die if very, very unlucky.
Which is less than most countries.
I don’t know anyone who ever die in a car crash.
pakistan, India, China, Nigeria, Congo, Russia, Brazil and USA have more road deaths than Thailand. A lot.
Enjoy your stay in Thailand. Should be ok

Must be nice living in the sticks, try Bangkok on for size, you'll learn what the rest of us are worrying about. I almost got slammed into twice today, once by a Taxi driver who jumped out of line and onto the opposite side of the road to cut around 6-7 cars (including me) turning right at a turn light, he decided he wanted to beat us to the turn at full-speed, came to a skidding stop at my drivers door. Should have saw the faces on the motorcycle riders waiting to go straight after we turned, they probably thought they were going to die.
Hahaha. Sound like the fast and furious movie!

Maybe have ph problem, so maybe need soda.
or
maybe chlorine problem.
Do the test and it will say the problem. Maybe it both problem.
Is the condo/hotel pool? Or private?
If you have the Chang clean the pool I think he maybe lazy to check. Ask him, I sure he never use the test in the photo I send. Easy to use it. One minute to check.
Too green, not clear.
He will try to say because “rain”. But not true. If chlorine and ph perfect not have this problem sure.
look at YouTube if you not understand.
i think the rat live in the parm tree. The rat like it.

Don't spoil the illusion, we like to think we are facing imminent carnage, death & destruction every time we drive on the roads!
Unfortunately often we are! ????
If you don’t drive fast, wear the seatbelt, don’t drunk, you will be ok.

Up to where you live.
Different places have different condition, siol. Ask the local people. At the shop “buey”
in the south difficult to grow more than seven years because the worm attack it. Central easy to grow, so big.
North, I not sure.

pakistan, Nigeria, India, China, Congo, Indonesia, Russia, USA have more road deaths than Thailand.

Very popular happy chappie. I watch them all.
Many Farang worry too much in Thailand. Less than ten people average die in car crash in Thailand everyday. (the average) A lot because they drunk.
It is not good they die, but I think very unlucky if it you. I don’t know anybody who die in car crash.

I go out riding my pedal bike everyday and I am sick fed up with the scum who persists of cutting me up, coming out of side roads right in front of me, etc, etc, etc, this is a daily occurrence with me.
I will always have an axe to grind with most, and I mean, most Thais when they get behind a wheel, or handlebars, because they have very little common sense.
Not only the driver, you complain about the war hero and say Thai are “not bright” which means stupid right? and you say thai are the scum.
This thred is about Thailand not being colonies, but you say Thai soldier can not fight and thai people stupid. Can you fight? I think only the mouth.
You have bad manners. Speak terrible.
You have little common sense riding you pedal bike and stay at a place where you hate most people. Phichit have many place to pedal bike. You like complain.
Why don’t Mr Scum live in your country? Why you live at Phichit? I think I know. Pitiful.

In watching the video, I was impressed that the volunteer medics did an excellent job in treating her and getting her properly on the backboard. Always wondered how well trained these guys were.

Yeah, it's about much more than sexual attractiveness. It's about perceptions of class being linked to skin lightness. Sadly we see this in many parts of the world.
Farang spend hours sunbath to get skin cancer. Use fake tan creams, look orange like Donald Trump. Pay a lot of money to use sun beds with the cancer lights to get more skin cancer.
just so they can look highso. Not look like the poor people who work everyday in the factory and office and can not have money for holiday to tropical paradise is Thailand.
so sad.
And get a lot of wrinkle and sun damage spots.

Crippling household debt, 99% of the people owning 33% of the wealth, a dysfunctional education system and discrimination in employment, especially ageism and sexism. Yes lots of opportunity to earn very little on a minimum wage, keep the peasants happy with dumb entertainment and hand outs, getting better for a very few, not for the many.

i think I know why he think like that. Funny.

No, we keep our own government. You don’t understand the word colonize
Quotelook at the map on here. Yes your ASEAN former colonized neighbours do come to Thailand for work, while poor Thais go to Korea, the middle east and Australia to do the same, often illegally.
We take 3-4 million foreign worker. Only a few thousand go there to work. Not same.
QuoteThe fact that Thailand has a slightly better economy at the moment
No, much better. Better than double, trible
Quotethan those countries is hardly a valid argument against colonialism which ended decades ago, and they are catching Thailand up fast while Thailand does nothing about the vast wealth inequality.
Thailand have some very rich, successful people. Better than if everyone poor. If not have the rich, like that other one, then not have wealth inequality.
QuoteHad Thailand been colonised completely it would not only be far larger but probably be far less corrupt and have a better education and legal system,
Burma, Laos and Cambodia don’t have better education or legal system. So you also wrong that one.
Quotewe would also be able to get some decent bread as well!
Maybe. But thai food better than Laos, Cambodia and Burmese food. Thai restaurant all over the world. The other, not so much. Better than your country food sure.
QuoteThais continually boasting about never being colonised is understandable, they don't have a lot else to be proud of compared to their neighbours!
Wrong again.
QuoteMost Thais are poor third world people, that is why the government has to give out so much in hand outs every month, most Thais have very little so the 300 baht a month card helps.
Maybe the Thai you know. But most of us are doing fine. We ok.
Some lazy drug, drunk people. Bad luck for them. Thailand have lot of opportunity if want to work hard, study hard. Getting better every year.

May I invite more of your colleagues to join this forum as their views would certainly enhance the overall debate?
I will ask them, but I only can understand about 50% of what everyone say. My English teacher still help me a little.
i work the hotel before. So I know most farangs the good and polite people. But if another Thai read thaivisa they will think most farangs hate us.
I think a lot of the hate people are very lonely guy. Can not get a wife in there country, so come to Thailand and buy the low class bargirl. They think they can buy love, and get angry with all of Thailand because it not happen how they want. Then have a lot of problem. Social outcast with real Thai people. Pitiful a bit.
I know this people not the normal farang.

I see that you cleverly manage to avoid mentioning Vietnam. Invaded, plundered and destroyed by respectively the French and the U.S.
And yet rapidly overtaking Thailand economically and intellectually. Therefore, your argument does not fly.
I Think western nations took what Thai land they wanted, and just left the rest of Thailand alone because there was not really anything of interest left to them at the time.
No. We about double vietnam every way you want to compare.
Have a look, then make a comment. They are very poor.

Singapore do the great job. Very impressive. Good government. Not much corruption, so they have very success. But I think the lifestyle not so good, mostly live in small condo etc To many rule.
Malaysia ok. But not so much fun as Thailand. I go there before.
Hong Kong, I don’t really know about that.
Australia and USA is different, The farang not colonies, they take it over complete. The farang kill a most of Native American and the Aborigine. Rape and steal. And still they have a lot of problems. First world country but the native American and Aborigines not have the benefit so much. So I really don’t want to be like that.

Clarity: When I said "There's lots of "stupid" where I come from !", that was not referring to Thailand. Surprise, surprise, that was referring to Canada.
I am appalled on a daily basis at some of the born and raised Canadian people that I meet (and same for USA).
From an earlier posted comment (?), I must agree, Thais are very resourceful. And from another poster (?), there are "stupid" people in every country, probably in an equal percentage to each other.
I have respect for Thais, particularly for the hard work of many. And having done business with many dozen, their level of service was above that of my home country. No complaints !
Yes I understood that. I put the stupid comments first and then put your one for agree with you ka.
Thankyou

Yes Neeray.
And this thread will make all the people who like to say the stupid thing about Thai everyday on the thaivisa say more stupid thing. Strange life, have the brain problem.
King 5 was very clever and stopped the farang invade us. That is why he a “great king” for the Thai people. King 4 also help a lot.
If he not do it I think we would be the third world and poor country same like Laos, Cambodia, and Burma.
Look at them now, the country that the farang invade and stolen. Have the bad economy, the people must come to Thailand for money and job.
If anyone interested, should look at this one https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_Khamhaeng_Inscription
Maybe real, maybe the fake. But it one of the reason farang not invade. Farang believe it then. King is very clever with the farang invade situation.

Thai people did not complain about that America happy too much.
Other farangs news said that. Thai don’t worry about that. Did not complain about that.
If I wrong can you tell me the Thai person complain about that? Who did?
congratulations USA! Play it very well. Very strong.
