Tourism Thailand Vows to End Dual Pricing Amid Growing Tourist Backlash
Kenneth White replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Many issues need adjustment, but dual pricing is the least of concerns. How about addressing traffic deaths for one? Teach these youngsters proper riding skills. Save lives and arrive alive. -
Transport Double-Deckers Banned from Risky Roads After Tragic Crash
Kenneth White replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Ban this route. Ban that route. They will only find another route that may be more dangerous. Some replies suggest driver skills, maintenance, and so on, and those are all good suggestions and actions that should be taken. If it were me I would make these buses and tandem trucks stay in the left lane, follow the posted speed limit signs (buses and lorries xxxx kph, cars xxx kph, motorbikes xxx kph) When I read articles like this I feel like a broken record saying Thailand needs more police patroling the roads, checkpoints are usless. -

NorthernRyland, it is sad they have no common sense. -
Thailand Boosts Road Safety Measures for Songkran Holiday Travel
Kenneth White replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You can make all the rules you want, but nothing will change until you add more police to enforce the laws. I might also add that the driving test for automobiles and motorbikes is a joke here in Thailand. Driving and riding schools. It's worth a try. Bottom line: Checkpoints are useless. Thailand needs more police patrolling the roads. -

This is sad. My wife and her family live in Kalasin, and I felt slight tremors from the quake here. -
Canadian Tourist's Warning: Assault and Theft in Pattaya Bars
Kenneth White replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
It's sad that even if you are right, you are a farang, not Thai, and they always win. Even my Thai family has thrown me under the bus on occasions. -
Thailand Yet to Finalise Policy on Taxing Expats’ Overseas Income
Kenneth White replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It appears that I will not need to pay any tax. I rarely use my credit card for purchases other than at Mitsubishi for service and tires. -
Thailand Yet to Finalise Policy on Taxing Expats’ Overseas Income
Kenneth White replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If I use my international credit card to purchase items here in Thailand, aren't the items already taxed? If so, why should I pay an additional tax on that purchase? -
Growing up, my dad had an IQ of 140, and my mom was the spelling bee queen. I didn't inherit any of that. However, my parents always said that common sense is equally important. I find common sense lacking here, and most Thais are inconsiderate. Does this human trait, common sense, contribute to intelligence? I think so.

Expats like Robert gives all expats a lousy reputation. If I were to meet up with him, I would slap the snot out of him. -
Dog Barking Drama: When Neighbourly Conflicts Turn Threatening
Kenneth White replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
There are many dogs in our village. At night they began to howl and bark, which is annoying to say the least. Owners are responsible for their animals. In my country, owners of dogs and cats are required to follow animal control regulations. Dogs and cats need to be neutered or spayed. -

Too often some take advantage of events like this and have no basis for raising prices. Other than pure GREED! -
How much do you pay your Thai woman per month?
Kenneth White replied to Robert_Smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
What I give my wife is nobody's business. What I give her, I do so happily. -
Thailand Faces Trade Challenges Amid Trump's Tariff Strategy
Kenneth White replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Since COVID, my wife and I have noticed that the cost of groceries has increased by at least 1000 bhat each month. I fear we will see another increase due to the tariffs, if so, I feel sorry for the poor Thai people. -
You said if legally registered they have the same rules as motorbikes. HaHaHa...what rules? These idiots here have no rules. They believe they own the roads. Some examples: Ride in the opposite direction, have no turn signal, pull in front of you on the right at a traffic light when turning right, never use their mirrors, and then pull into your travel lane. I had an ATV and told they are not street legal.
