But it is still a Kia. ????

It's 'cultural'. It's what happens when you go from riding on the back of a buffalo in a rice paddy to a agricultural vehicle advertised and sold as a sports car (pickup with racing stripes) in under a generation. Driver education, competency management, enforcement among other factors are all missing. Good luck on changing it. Thais I know get angry when I comment on their poor driving, so now I refrain from doing so. Nearly every day on my commute to and from work I see an accident. Seeing someone doing something dangerous and stupid is guaranteed on every journey even just nipping to the 7/11. I would suggest that adopting many of the systems that have been successful in countries like UK, Australia and Singapore would go some way in improving the situation here, but again, they just don't want to be told. They know best, so Hell mend them.

When a Thai company PTTEP caused Australia's biggest ever oil spill of 50,000 barrels on the Montara field on the North-Western shelf, they were only fined $500,000 AUD. Peanuts. Indonesian fishermen are now suing them for billions worth of damages in a civil trial in Canberra. While we are on the subject the Thais are moving further in on Burmese oil fields as other companies exit due to human rights concerns. Easy, when you don't have those qualms and money is the only objective.

It's the people that believed this narrative and believed that a military government with no checks or balances would be the lesser of two evils that I feel sorry for. Total mugs.

I will be claiming it back through the company. They also cover my fuel. ???? One of the Thai managers was consistently claiming thb 20k+ per year for repair costs and then the other Thai managers got annoyed as they weren't getting anything so I suggested a change to the company policy, so now all managers get servicing costs included in their packages. I could quite easily drive one of the company pickups or SUV thingies to and from work for absolutely no cost to myself, and I did for a time, but once you sit in something a bit nicer and quicker, get some music on, you look around and think... "why on Earth didn't I do this sooner?".

What is the Ministry of Truth? The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue) is the ministry of propaganda. As with the other ministries in the novel [George Orwell's 1984], the name Ministry of Truth is a misnomer because in reality it serves the opposite: it is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events.

In my Benz the engine turns off automatically whenever I stop the vehicle to save on emissions. Does this mean I can still play with my phone?

Central Retail says will not engage in Selfridges acquisition
Mr Meeseeks replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What has your perceived "state of the UK" got to do with Central Retail not investing in Selfridges? -

Mr Meeseeks replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Have you been paying attention to the state of Thailand since 2014? ???? -
The same rules apply if a Thai kills another Thai, depending on how much money the murderer has, who they are connected to and who their family is, in relation to the victim of course. The Benz driver 'Moo Ham' springs to mind, killed some Thai students while driving drunk and/or on drugs and it was mental health issues again. In this case, the mental health excuse will no doubt be played up by the defence to avoid a death sentence.

Where would you put your earnings?

No need to trade, I'm farming in stables and earning interest. ???? -

It certainly presents an opportunity. I have seven figures in crypto at the moment, mostly in stables, earning me enough APY that I will be easily in 8 figs by this time next year. Maybe then time to hang up the spurs. I believe he is a Thai citizen.
