Fundamentals... Building schools near main roads, or building main roads near schools, either way,  making children cross major roads....but, having done that, a footbridge, an underpass, or whatever it takes to separate children from vehicles. Failing that, a crossing with barriers, flashing !ights, police officers, crossing patrols, fences, walls... All sorts of options. Get it done.

The video says firing a gun into the air is a bad idea.  I say firing a gun anywhere is a bad idea. I may be wrong, but weren't fire arms designed to kill? Some weapons have effective ranges of 2 miles or more...

Why is it necessary to classify someone as working class, middle class, upper class? What's the purpose? If anyone asks.me, I would tell them I have no class. At least, that's what the wife told me the other day. 

Perpetuating this devisive horse <deleted> does no one any good. Stop it.

Anyways, back to the subject in hand. I really do not care one way or the other, who is Prime Minister of Thailand. There is only one person who matters...at the moment, and one family.

He never actually said "dirty farang", this was made up by English gutter press. 

he did say farang don't shower as much as Thais, which is true. 

Now there is a generalisation. You know all farang do not shower as much as all Thais? 

Over the past week or so, my internet with TOT keeps dropping out for a few seconds. Very annoying as I'm studying through webinars. Spoke to someone on video call for about an hour on Friday and it dropped 5 or 6 times.

I think I'll do as suggested earlier and give the router a rest. See what happens...

The picture, is it of the incident location?

I think 2 coppers on the left are thinking, what the <deleted> are you 2 (coppers on the right) doing here, with your noses stuck in your phones. 

I count a captain, half colonel, colonel and general. Where are the policemen?

Umm...there's no water in it....

I think it looks great. Once rendered with a waterproof render, and painted or tiled, it'll be fine. Why ask the question negatively?

Anutin wasn't allowed into Switzerland, so Abe is not permitted into Thailand.

Disagree, travel insurance can be expensive and also can be inaccessible due to age or medical history.

As much as an air fare, hotel bill, spending money? No insurance, no travel. 

I thought this was the reason for the $50,000 insurance...?

Dream on.

What, you never accidentally missed the brake pedal and hit the accelerator?

You want to control illegal drugs, you make the punishment severe enough to deter people from using the drugs and selling the drugs. 

To do otherwise is to trivialize the seriousness of the offense. 

But still, people make, sell and transport illegal drugs. Where there is a market, there will be people to fulfil it.  There is no conclusive that death sentences are a deterrent. Unless you know differently.

I flagged on major point of contention.

'The drivers are breathalysed every morning and if they are over the legal limit to drive they are suspended for the day' !!!!

 

I was incredulous while the Thai staff at the front desk really didn’t see anything wrong with this response !!!

Great idea. What's wrong with it?

Research reveals conflicting results. Closed minds often don't get it.

Whose? Yours? Give links and quotes to back up this statement.

So, the economy is expected to take longer to recover than expected. Is this another expected date on top of another expected date?

how come all countries employ such soothsayers and charlatans? Economists, analysts, what use are they?

If groupthink it's a Christmas movie, then it is. But don't go thinking this question has never been asked before...

10/12/2018 · Is "Die Hard" a Christmas movie? From the music to the time frame, we take a look at the controversy surrounding John McTiernan's 1988 classic, and find out ...

You still have to do 12 months of transfers into a Thai bank to prove your income.

They can ask for proof of the source of the income and that is what the pension letter is for. 

In Si Saket IO, I give them a copy of my HMRC tax summary. This seems to work for them...at the moment. Has a list of all my income, which is all pension.

Edited, as I read the Phuket News full story.

it appears the machine is on someone else's land in front of the land she owns. I suggest she moves the driveway.

Cannot access your property across someone else's land, without an easement or some form of agreement, which, I suggest, would include not installing stuff to prevent access...
