I've just come from central Thailand in the heart of the farming community and farmers are burning stubble, crop debris, field verges and brush wood areas next to farms or on mountains every night. Sugar cane crops are mostly harvested and refinery's are in maintenance mode so less burning than several months ago but still prevalent. "They, the Gov" all know how it occurs but these farmers are the ones who vote them into power so cannot say too much to stop this or they will loose a position of influence, 555 I nearly said th "C" word Red skies at night shephards delight so to speak.

Not a cat in hells chance of Thais following rules.

Makes you proud of the dedication and hard work of the RTP.

The person who wrote this report needs to go back to school. Dogs need an injection and the owner needs to be castrated and say a thousand wais

The youth, the leaders of our future setting a great example.

Your being too kind. There are better ways to make them suffer for a long long time.

Thank their Auntie A

And the other half bought their licence and don't know the rules of the road. Children leave school every day all over Thailand on motorbikes 3 pax on each bike no crash helmet no licence. Oh my where to begin.

I wonder how many points he will loose off his licence under the new system come January. Reckless driving causing injury and leaving the scene under stress would be called hit and run elsewhere and be an instant ban. TIT, say sorry and cough up a two wads that would choke a donkey. One for the victim and a donation for a law enforcement fine (wink wink) and it's all ok.

No.6 in the best countries to live for expats. This was not in the poll categories but sure should have been.

Bur you can get Chang at 60b a bottle, spliffs delivered and never need to go outside your 35sqm apartment since you can get your food via grab. High quality of life eh! Oh and go to Tops and look at the cheese counter and drool.

It's ok with me.

Name one place in the world where guns are legal where someone hasnt shot and killed someone? Cannabis is the start of the trail to much worse things, for some. It's also breaking the law so it sets a mind set of what is allowable in life. Alcohol is as bad but it is big business and always has been as is smoking tobacco so not a good comparison. Why don't you compare cannabis to crystal meths or amphetamines.

Should also arrest the 2 million mayanma & loa construction/civil workers for taking Thai jobs the Thais won't do. Work it out hard work in hot sun for minimum wage or air conditioned 7/11 same dosh, mmmmm no brainer.

Drunk or not the man is the lowest of the low just above pedophiles. 6 months in jail with no Vaseline won't cure him but make him think before his next act.

They cut corners do things their own way and have no idea of consequence. Why give them something they will undoubtedly get wrong. They cannot develop solar in the LOSun let alone nuclear power

bOHIcA. Bend over here it comes again. You get charged what you deserve mate. The officail fine with a ticket at an official checkpoint, which allows you to drive the rest of the day fine free is 500.

What control? A convicted drug smuggler in charge and look what happens. Have we all forgotten about Auntie A's history already. Medical use only 555! And yet you can't buy a bottle of Chang outside UK historic licencing hours which Thais adopted from frigging Tesco.

Go to the Thai immigration website and it tells you all requirements. Good web site in clear English.

An idiot has a measurable amount of brains since they can still function. Arrogance beyond belief. Welcome to the 20th century Thailand.

Paul kilnell a bloke with some savy should make him the next prime minister.

And the agent in the bank who falsifies records to write a letter for immigration.

Can they now fix all the pot holes in my soi now they got an agreement.

Why wait for a summit to clean up known violations of the law? Isn't it there job to do this constantly. Something smells fishy.

Well I think foreigners should not own Thai land and keep their 40m, cost for the land and cost to build a luxury home in their personal investments. And I think all rich Thais who have large properties in London should have them repossessed and chuck them out of the country. What is so special about Thailand anyway? Temples, beaches, pussy cats, rubbish dumps everywhere, as many soi dogs you can shake a stick at, upset someone and your likely to be shot, road deaths exemplars, extortionate prices for imported goods, wow such a temptation.
