I thought they had sensor cabled buried in the road as you approach a junction to trigger the lights in your favor in this kind of situation.
In general at night or when it's quiet in the UK just flashing your headlights triggers the lights to change wouldn't really describe the Thai way of using traffic-lights (or absolutely anything on the roads for that matter!!) as an advantage or a better way of doing things....

Just an opinion, but this 'complicated' matter turns out, with a little thought, to be fairly simple.
Prayuth needed to be sure of a supportive judiciary in the long term. So he fixed a whole bunch of 'grace and favour' luxury homes in a 5-star location for their tax-payer funded enjoyment. Total bill to the people of Thailand: 1 billion baht. Hence the comment from one of the judicial support units 'cancel it if you dare'.
And people say he's honest and has clamped down on corruption. How did he manage to save 100 million baht on a soldier's salary?
That'd be a story I'd enjoy hearing.
Succinctly put and I think you have hit the nail right on the head, everything is about face with nepotism and cronyism running rampant
Unfortunately the apathy coupled with the 'I'm alright Jack' attitude that is so pervasive means nothing will change until the reset button is pressed, not gonna hold my breath....
The complete hypocrisy of the leadership here never fails to take my breath away, they truly have no shame....

There is very little on the Thai roads that will out accelerate a 3,5 or 600 and it has been mentioned by people far more knowledgeable than me that the best way to get skilled at something is to progress through different stages...
What exactly do you believe a 1000cc brings to the party that makes it the only thing you would use on the Thai roads?
Confused....

The glaring inequality in the Thai (in)justice system is truly staggering!
The fact that the gent in the op has been bailed is deemed as newsworthy is in itself very worrying as anywhere other than a military regime this would be a no brainer.....

I live on Sukhumvit, so I get refused by taxis or offered set price multiple times daily. I’ve long since stopped getting too worked up over it. Life’s too short for that.
But it that doesn’t mean I condone the practice. It’s simply not worth much of my time and effort to complain to the authorities.
What I would love to see, however, is a phone app with the following functionality. A taxi driver fails to respect his DLT obligation. I pull out my phone, tap the app, which turns on my camera. I take a picture of his plate. The app then brings up a number of check boxes (“Refused fare”, “Would not use meter”, “Abusive or rude driver”, “Dangerous driving”). I touch the appropriate box and then the “Send” button. The app would then send an email to the DLT complaint hotline (is there really such a thing?) and also upload the information to a web site that would keep a running (and searchable) list of offenders.
Anybody skilled led in app development?
Bloody hell, you should patent that as there is certainly a market for it in land of scams, wonder whether it could be made to work with other thieving lying scum bags, endless options really....

True that, must get very dizzy...
I believe there must be a special recruitment process for junta spokesperson's they must be completely none emotional when instructed to give contradictory announcements within hours of each, come to think of it I think it is known as a frontal lobotomy and seems to be a very popular procedure with the junta

My default setting with the little general and his minions is that anything they say is a lie, ergo any time one of the mouthpieces makes an announcement the truth is the opposite of what they are saying, try it it works really well the only time it doesn't work is when they have made such a glaring thuck up they are forced into an immediate about turn straight away....

I wonder what it must be like to be one of the junta, to be so completely blind to their own ignorance and hypocrisy and so confident in their inalienable right to say and do whatever they want with absolutely no regards for the right and wrong of what they do, must take years of indoctrination to get that level of self righteousness, scary as <deleted> really....

45 minutes ago, webfact said:Public cynical about justice for ‘influential’ after Premchai case
By THE NATION
Although the investigation into construction tycoon Premchai Karnasuta’s alleged illegal hunting is ongoing, the public has little confidence that he will be punished if found guilty.
File photo: Premchai Karnasuta
Nearly two-thirds, or 64.2 per cent, of people recently surveyed believe the case, in which Premchai and three others are accused of poaching and possessing wildlife at the Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary in Kanchanaburi, will ultimately not see wrongdoers punished, because the suspects are from an “influential group”.
The survey was recently conducted by the Bangkok University Research Centre among 1,202 respondents nationwide, who were asked for their opinions on justice procedures in Thailand.
The poll also found that 53.3 per cent of respondents thought the case against Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya – who is wanted over a 2012 hit-and-run incident that left a Bangkok traffic policeman dead – would not see Vorayuth punished.

Fifty per cent of respondents also believed the case against Dhammakaya Temple ex-abbot and founder Phra Dhammachayo would also be unable to bring the controversial monk to justice.
File photo: Phra Dhammachayo
About 49 per cent believed no culprit would be punished over the suspicious death of teenage army cadet Pakapong Tanyakan at the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School in Nakhon Nayok.
Asked which group of people would likely get away with a crime, 69.2 per cent of the respondents ranked “the group of influential figures”. Also named were politicians (63.6 per cent); “high society” wealthy people (61.5 per cent); civil servants, police and military people (45.2 per cent); and monks (21.1 per cent).
Over a third of respondents (37.6 per cent) believed the justice system contained loopholes that allowed wrongdoers to evade justice. Another 28.6 per cent thought the practice of “double standards” or discrimination was in play, while 23.6 per cent said they thought available punishments were too lenient compared to the crimes. Just 5.7 per cent believed that legal procedures were carried out justly and transparently, while 4.5 per cent said scapegoats had been used to take the blame for crimes.
Asked if they felt confident in justice procedures, 71.7 per cent said their confidence was low while the rest said confidence remained high.
Meanwhile, Counter Corruption Division deputy commander Pol Colonel Wacharin Pusit said Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary chief Wichian Shinwong and his subordinates would testify before police on February 22 as part of the investigation into Wichian’s complaint over Premchai’s alleged act of attempting to bribe a state official to evade arrest. Wacharin said officers would later summon Premchai to give information over the allegation.
As for four elephant tusks seized from Premchai’s Bangkok house earlier this month, police Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Division commander Pol Maj-General Panya Pinsook said they were still waiting for the result of a DNA test by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.
The tests, due to be completed in three weeks, should be able to confirm whether the tusks were from domesticated elephants, which require a licence to own, or from wild elephants, which cannot be legally owned. Panya also said Premchai should bring documents to explain his ownership of the tusks to police without having to wait for the results to be finalised.
Premchai has denied poaching charges brought against him and three others, following their arrest on February 4 in the wildlife sanctuary’s western area. Rangers searched the camp and found guns and protected wildlife animal carcasses, including that of a black leopard, a Kalij pheasant and a barking deer.
The suspects have since been granted bail.

Appears the biggest scumbags in LoS are very often also the untouchables, you know the good people, hi-so aka rich.....
It happens all over the world but here it ain't half blatant, then again if you have the entire justice (injustice) system in your pocket you can do whatever you want...

It is probably classified except for a few who are close to the PM himself. Steven may well be one of those and privy to the contents of this arcane document. I realise it is an unhelpful suggestion but if you ask him nicely he may be inclined to give up some of the secrets it holds.
Nah don't think he would be able to tell us too much in the way of secrets but I bet he might treat us to another picture of his favourite little man in a all his martial splendour with his many hard earned medals......

Those subs were a waste of money and there are many other faults of the junta. So I don't support them but their actions in bringing to justice the Shins I do applaud.
Now let democracy come back and we can sit back and see everything repeat itself again... corrupt leaders... other people wanting to be in power.. violence.. and so on.
I have accepted that there are no good guys in Thailand (that get into government). So i just go with the flow commenting on whoever is in power.
What you and your old mates in the junta fan club continue to be unable to grasp is Thailand has swapped one corrupt leader for another, problem is with this lot there are no checks and balances and other than through bloodshed no way to remove them either......surely that isn't a difficult thing to grasp

From what I recall pre and post coup the vast majority of incidents involving barrels of guns was from the red side of the political spectrum. I don't recall the army shooting anyone.
Aaah, selective memory again, are you going to run out the line about the RTA being forced to intervene as well?
Figure RTA is not specific enough so a more appropriate description would probably be cretins in green, sorry for any confusion....

I truly despise these poor examples of humanity, true there are scumbags everywhere but unfortunately in some societies they rise to the very top Thailand appears to be a case in point
They have the opportunity to do the right thing but there is no way they have the wherewithal or scruples to do that...

How many chances are they going to give him? Let him keep trying until he finally comes up with an excuse they can buy, then say, "Oh, he's not guilty of anything."
No one has that many rich friends, with all those expensive watches, that they just let someone borrow.
He is untouchable, if he was to be treated as a normal person that would set a precedent where the other hi-so's could be punished for their sins, not going to happen they will just spout lies and procrastinate till it just goes away....

Finally a Thai in a position of some authority who possesses the moral superiority and scruples to stand by and do the right thing, a true inspiration...
Unfortunately this man is from the wrong background and is only one of the serf's so outstanding people like this will never be allowed to navigate LoS to being a better place for his fellow citizens
