RIP the innocent victims.

 

The Truck Driver waiting to give 'his version of events' !  His Truck; his responsibility but we know what that means in Thailand don't we ?

 

These Trailer Trucks are a menace in many ways; a lot of them think they are Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton and can just push everyone else out of the way.  Yesterday i was sitting at Traffic Lights (yes i do stop at Red Lights ) when one of these pulled up beside me in the outside lane waiting to turn right.   His rear two axles were parked next to me and when i looked at the Tyres they were all bald or almost bald and there were four different types of Tyres on two axles !   This is just one example of how well these Vehicles are Maintained and how well that Maintenance is checked by anyone of 'Authority' here in the 'Land of Could'nt Care a Less about People's Safety'.  It's just Diabolical !

You mean you want the police to get their asses in gear to check tires? You must be dreaming.

If its ever legally recognised in the future, will foreign men married to a thai man be required to show 400K to qualify for the marriage visa? ????

We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

Maybe that's why they're holding back on legalising same sex marriage...

If you ask me - I prefer they legalise cannabis first...

There should be an upper age limit on driving.

It would have made news anywhere.

Let’s hope this initiative will be followed by others.

Indeed, there are worse ways to die.

I really would like to know what happened to that Blue Diamond.

Leaving is no problem...The problem is that you want to come back!!

Quite so. Too many uncertainties regarding the return, especially regarding the insurance requirement. Will my Cigna insurance be accepted, for example. They have changed the rules for Non-OA but what about Non-O, I am still unclear about it.

All the weirdos coming here for a holiday.

 

I see a lot of these guys getting around. 

Steroids 

Shame! Shame! Shame! A few days in the slammer, a heavy fine and a deportation warning.

A tip to the Red Bull heir:

Go into the monkhood for a few weeks and close the story.

He does not need to: his parents have distributed lots of brown envelopes.

He just wanted to be a monk because hw hope to avoid penalty.

This is a cop out (pun definitely intended). Religion offers a very convenient way to show remorse.

Does this somehow exonerate him from committing homicide? Does the temple who admitted him have any liability in this? They should. The penalty for taking in such a felon should be immediate abandonment of the temple and monastery, and mandatory destruction of the entire complex. 

 

These temples should never be above the law, and it is not the example anyone wants to see, when they engage themselves in this kind of cover and lack of judgment.

Look at how many unconcerned people it takes to inspect a Zebra crossing ! And none of them know the answer as to what to do so they want to get rid of it !! Pathetic.

It would be comical if it weren’t so tragic! It reminds of a Belgian joke: how many people do you need to change a bulb on a ceiling lamp? Answer 6: one holding the bulb and tive to move the chair around.

Rule 1 never ride in minivans, rule 2 never forget rule 1.

Absolutely. These minivan drivers are totally speed crazy. I would never dream of taking one. I warn anybody I know coming to this country to avoid them at all cost (especially the cost of their lives)

Give the guy a break.  He was blissfully unaware that he could have slowed or stopped the truck by use of clutch and gears.

The truck looks quite new, as Mutt said, poor driver or poor maintenance.

No, give him a  BRAKE!

What prevented her from doing what (almost) everybody does and do her TM 47 every 90 days? After 3 years in Thailand, she should know the score. Now she has to face the music. Besides, don’t tell me she didn’t know about the consequences of flouting immigration rules. So, yes, no sympathy.

So what?  She wasn't asking for your sympathy.

You play dumb quite well. Congratulations.

And wouldn’t have gotten any, had she asked for it. People like that should be sent to jail for a few days, heavily fines and deported.

Note the condition of the truck tires. They are never checked and brown envelopes make sure that nothing is being done.

Either that or driving too fast, as has been noted many times some people forget that Ice is heavy and can cause the vehicle to be overloaded there by reducing normal steering & braking capabilities

Don’t expect them to know anything about the laws of physics and anyway, laws, whatever they are, are meant to be broken, consequences be damned.
