Mr Meeseeks

They are probably used to tourists just bending over and taking it raw, rather than complaining and pointing out it is a rip-off (which it is). Don't give me the high rents excuse, the airport was built with taxpayer's money and the AOT is 70% government owned. A good comparison would be with the airport in KL, Malaysia, where prices of food vendors are much in line with those in the city centre. Food prices at Thai airports are a rip-off, end of.

Licensing in Thailand is a total joke, as is most of the safety training, especially for marine and offshore. Anyone know what the requirements for a boat pilot licence are in Thailand? I have my Liberian OIM and Barge licence, and that wasn't easy, had to do about 10 different courses, exams etc. to get it.

Illegal logging made the Generals millions back in the day. Mostly teak but other trees too.

You can now buy an EV that will do 0-60mph in 4 seconds for a little over a million Baht. Recipe for disaster in the hands of the unskilled and arrogant driver.

I see Thais discarding rubbish from the windows of their vehicles on a regular basis.

It's a Thai boat carrying British tourists, being controlled irresponsibly and recklessly by a Thai.

The Chinese-Thai gangsters and their local henchmen (flour smuggler etc.) will turn this country into a cesspit, unless another coup prevents it.

Bangkok one of the most polluted cities in the World today. Enjoy your vacation peeps. 🤣

Thailand isn't a safe country. It has always had very poor standards of health and safety and not much has changed in that regard in the 33 years I have lived and worked here. In the 90's and early 00's, Thailand was the most dangerous tourism destination for Brits, Aussies, and Swedes.

Deserves jail for being called Beau.

From October:

He will continue to hold a Thai driving licence, the medical check for fitness-to-drive is a complete joke here and can be paid for with 100thb. If indeed he does suffer from narcolepsy (he doesn't), then he may eventually kill someone if allowed to operate a motor vehicle or other machinery. He may end up killing someone anyway, fortunately he didn't in this instance.

It's always someone or something else's fault. Never able to take responsibility for their own actions.

Land and property ownership laws should be fully reciprocal. Dual nationals should be limited to owning land and properties based on whether they are resident in the UK. Also, fingerprinting and data collection of foreigners on arrival and departure should also be reciprocal. Hopefully we will see a move towards this in the UK once a sensible Govt. gets elected that will put British people first.

The lesson? Never let Somchai fiddle with critical systems that could endanger lives without correct procedural, supervisory and managerial oversight.

Correct.

If there is a death due to a motor vehicle, then the driver is usually always charged with reckless driving causing death, Thai or foreigner.

He also promoted Thai nationalism by paying off the IMF loan early, by blaming foreigners for the Thais' very own economic mismanagement which ultimately led to the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997 and a global financial disaster. Of course none of this was their fault as usual and no responsibility was taken. 🧐 I have learned never to listen to Thais giving financial advice. 👍🏼

They can discuss it all they want. They are only interested in profits, which come way before health and safety and the welfare of animals here.

Exploiting animals never has a good outcome. RIP to the young lady.

Plenty of experience with Bangkok being the World's capital for boiler room scammers for over two decades through the 90's and 00's. Nobody really punished though. Harsher punishments for foreigners, especially Burmese untermensch no doubt.

I believe it was caused by the usual bad driving. 🤷‍♂️

Common. Most Thais live day to day and will call in favours which cost but must be paid back later. Probably why they had issues with paying the rent in the first place.

Low 80's IQ, stunted emotional development, poor education, manipulative. Avoidable.
