Not to mention the aftermarket dump valves that make whistling or other noises between gear-changes. Or those worthless, locally made metal bars that they think will stiffen the chassis even though they often have angles welded in, rendering them useless. These are kinds of vehicles I thoroughly enjoy seeing in my rear-view.

Tourists ignore Songkran water-fight ban on Bangkok’s Khaosan Road
Mr Meeseeks replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
The local customs are water fights on Songkran, indeed that is why many of them come at this specific time of year. I doubt tourists are concerned with warnings about water fights, and the 'laws' are applied arbitrarily under emergency decrees and other authoritarian junta-inspired nonsense designed to be vague and keep the population compliant. If you think backpackers travelling around the region on a gap year care to keep advised of this nonsense you are sadly mistaken. These idiotic, arbitrary laws and the dinosaurs in charge have managed to completely destroy the Thai tourism economy in a matter of two years. How many lives have been ruined, how many suicides, how many mental illnesses and how many families and businesses destroyed? Let's start asking the real pertinent questions. FYI Thailand has the death penalty for drug smuggling also, so is no different than Malaysia or Indo in that regard, other than appointing a convicted heroin smuggler to a deputy ministerial post in the government, even against their own laws, but then again he was a Thai gangster and alleged murderer with connections, not a nasty backpacking foreigner. -
From being unable to meet basic international aviation maintenance and safety standards to a space, aviation and aerospace hub in just a few years. Quite remarkable.

Mr Meeseeks replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
They have managed to ruin Khao San Road anyway, stuff like this will just be the final nail in the coffin.
