I don't know what use submarines will be? 

They don't have mirrors to help with popping pimples or loud exhausts. 

Seems to be a compensation exercise for inadequate men in uniform.

I actually don't see many accidents driving around Pattaya, I would experience a lot more driving around San Francisco Bay Area but car on car accidents often don't produce serious injuries or death.

My experience completely the opposite. I see accidents daily when driving to work in Chonburi.

Just last night there was a fatality around the corner from our moo baan in Banglamung involving a pick-up and a small motorcycle.

Recently I have witnessed a fatality at an intersection and a hit and run on the main sukhumvit road where a vios knocked off a motorcyclist, paused for a minute then left the scene. The motorcyclist was badly injured.

Dubai is not a good place for drug dealers. 

Dubai is awash with drugs, especially in wealthy expat circles and worker communities.

I've witnessed a motorcade with the PM (head of government, not head of State) in it and have seen normal civilian vehicles in front and behind, not having closed the road, a near impossible thing to do I would suggest in this country.

 

There were police vehicles with lights a flashing at the front and rear of the fairly long convoy. If someone was hacked off by the cavalcade driving quickly in the offside lane, they must have realised something unusual was occurring.

 

I have seen 3 car convoys, unmarked vehicles with blue lights and travelling between Farnborough airport and London with a certain head of State, before they became head of State. Travelling high speed along the M3 motorway, everyone gets out the way. 

 

Yielding to emergency service vehicles.

 

Hacked off or not, best to stay out of the way, keep your head down and don't antagonize the keepers.

I saw Thaksin when he was PM and his wife Pojaman in their bulletproof Holden pull up at Gaysorn Plaza and they went shopping. Not much of an escort with them, a couple of cop bikes and another car and that was it.

I too wonder why, military trucks, tour buses, over weight/over loaded veg pick ups, and cement lorries with trailers feel it is their given right to travel in the offside lanes, forcing everybody to undertake?

No enforcement, everyone does as they like.

That is a massive fare price...  I was looking on the Thai Airways website for a fare from Auckland to BKK in February, advertised at $1800NZ. Economy fare 

I doubt they will be still in business by then mate.

Moreover, it should raise assets tax, which would not hurt the poor as they have little or no assets.

Get your money safe, before they come to steal more of it from you.

The auditors did not sign off on the accounts last week.

Thai is capital deficient.

They will need to pony up billions to save it.

And Deloitte refused to sign off. So more to come. 

Indeed, and they are capital deficient.

No auditor (as long as they are not Thai) will sign off on their accounts.

As they say, TG are Donald Ducked.

The students want democracy and human rights in Thailand - do you?

 

Why do you think it is you avoided answering that question?

 

You are not opposed to Thaksin.

 

Rabbiting on about Thaksin is how you communicate your political views because you lack the courage to simply state what it is that you believe in.

 

Try and comment on Thai politics without mentioning Thaksin, you simply will not be able to do it until you front up to yourself and accept you sit on the outer limits of the extreme right and have not the slightest interest in democracy.

 

End of discussion - no what you mean is that you don't like being confronted with truths that shatter your factually unsupported beliefs and would rather remain ignorant to reality than learn, grow and change for the better.

If it's that safe then why hasn't the UK taken Thailand off its list of countries that require a 14 day quarantine to enter the UK?

It seems the UK still thinks Thailand is a high risk country if they are insisting on 14 days quarantine if you want to enter UK coming from Thailand. ????

I wouldn't be listening to the UK as regards COVID-19 advice. They are a shambles.

Chok Dee!

Plenty of tourists here, only most of them are Thai.
