    too many young people die on the road.. Why do parents allow them to ride a bike in the first place?? I see kids from primary school class 5 or 6 sometimes driving a motorcycle and when i see them in my class, sometimes injured I tell them that they are not allowed and if theyhave pain now I hope it will be a lesson.

    Secondly the police is doing nothing about it.. High fines or confiscate the vehicles, that would hurt them and people only learn when they are hurt by things like this. 

    Why is it impossible to let people drive with a helmet?? In other countries no problem but in Thailand .....

    and than not to forget if you see people on a motorcycle, it seems that they are sitting at home on a sofa and talking to eachother, looking backwarths to pilon driver, checking their phones as if they are important businesspeople,. In the beginning I felt sorry for the young wasted lifes by motorcycle accidents, but now after almost 20 years in Thailand, I don't care anymore.... Stupidity can't be cured. 

    Well said that man and I could not care less either.  Stupid is stupid and it is self propergating within Thai society.

    "So what is stopping the government from implementing digitization on a grand scale?"

     

    Common sense, intelligence... I'll stop there ????????

    Digital = less people.  They need to keep people employed at all costs always been the case always will be.  Just look at the banking sector which has many similarities.  It's a case of if you don't like it go somewhere else.

    He says Pattaya correctly, listen to how the Thais say it and read how it is written -  พัทยา 

    That is how the guy says it, so many westerners pronounce it as 'Pa-thai-ya', or something like that, which is not correct.

    I've been saying Bangkok for 23 years and Thais when talking to each other will not call it Bangkok. And basically who cares, if I got in a taxi and said Pataya in Geordie I would get to petheya in Thailand.

    To me, they need some flashing lights at these crossings as drivers just don't stop for faded white strips. Failing to stop happens every where in Thailand, and the people or kids crossing are very scared as they don't know if they will make it or not.

    They tried that in Hua Hin but many people just drive through the red light if it's clear on their side.  Just been through it this afternoon and 6 young Thais crossing the road had a green light but had to wait on cars going through the lights on red.  Thais thinks cars always have right of way.  Same as the kamakasi roundabouts, you take your chance.

    No surprise here. Let's get rid of the masks. If the authorities want to keep them, to make sure the fear and paranoia remain, let's just say NO! The lack of science in this debate, and situation is stunning. 

     

    It is really about keeping the people scared, at this time. Numbers continue to drop, standard cloth masks have limited effectiveness, wearing them outdoors is downright silly, and this ultra paranoid behavior has to stop. The government and goons like Anutin are largely responsible for an environment of fear at this stage of the game. This is about maintaining paranoia, control, and fear. After all, you would not want the people to get too comfortable. They might take to the streets again, and show their disdain for this thoroughly toxic, and nearly useless administration. 

     

    Questioning the narrative is essential to life, prosperity and well being. Being a lemming is not a desirable trait. We all know how minor the effect of a cloth mask is. Defy nonsense. Be disobedient. Defy stupidity and big brother's diabolical scare mongering nonsense, every chance you get. 

    If it's endemic gov stop paying.  Not about anything else than saving money.
