That must be the first time ever that there have been no kids selling roses and gum scurrying up and down the walking street bars

Anyone else get a feeling this is boiling over just enough for public concern to reach a certain point then a certain ex pm will go to Cambodia and meet his influential friends over the border then return a hero and things return to normalcy

If they have evidence to suggest these doctors behaved unethically enough to have medical licenses removed there must be evidence to suggest thaksin was faking the severity of his condition to avoid a return to prison. If the doctors did it then why? They big fans of the ex pm and willing to sacrifice all for him or was money exchanged or increases in position offered? Still too many unanswered questions Somsak Thepsutin is he going to be investigated further? He is a phue Thai party politician who stepped in to quash a medical council decision that would put the leader of his party under further scrutiny.

When they do stop someone for having no helmet what do they do? Either issue a ticket or some other monetary punishment and then simply allow them to proceed their journey but still not wearing a helmet... zero change to actual road safety has been achieved.

That's how it always done, target those lowest on the totem pole and hope to get them to implicate others higher up the chain, problem with that is at the moment they are just at risk of losing medical license, by implicating others then it becomes a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and corruption offences which involve prison sentences if convicted, this also puts them at risk of snitches get stitches or (dissappeared)

I use my horn more in 1 day here than I did 25 yrs driving in the uk

Nothing will change except the cost of a police 20% tip goes up from 100 baht to 400 baht, I seriously don't know why thailand has to make things so difficult. If police were simply to to fine and then impound every bike until rider returns with a helmet people would quickly start wearing a helmet rather than the 5km walk home. Problem is these checks are carried out in the towns while the countryside remains like the wild west. I drove 20 km into town and back at dusk/night counted 165 bikes with lights but then 145 with one ore more lights not working

Yes easy to do when you charge twice as much than other parts of thailand

Can you get prosecuted for stealing something that's illegal? Can guarantee that the thc content was over the permitted 0.01% level

Redbull case and now this, people aren't risking everything out of the goodness of their hearts money is involved, any investigation should follow the money and those paying should be in the dock next to the accused

How come he has been to court twice in a matter of a few months, when that rock star committed an offence 8 yrs ago and he has just been sentenced after appeals

Charges dropped because they thought they were illegally importing gold not drugs.

It's not just the decline in foreign visitors it's the increase in thai nationals leaving the country during holiday periods and weekends instead of holidays in the country, the car parks at the airports are very busy these are locals on long term visitors leaving the country

Quick wai and an insincere apology and that's it dealt with, how about a theft prosecution for both the female and taxi rider followed by the revocation of his taxi licence, if thailand seriously wants to get a grip of the taxi mafia then make an example of them so others think twice

Isn't his company building the rama 2 expressway as well god knows how many have been killed or injured during that debacle
