The only ethical concerns are ensuring the right families get the money.

It's like people that resisted getting an iPhone and hung on to their Nokia, Blackberry, or Sony Ericsson, claiming it was 'better' and iPhones were just a fad.

Who in their right mind would buy a Vauxhall (GM) EV? It's Chinese or Tesla at this point (super luxury like Lotus and Porsche notwithstanding). People slating EVs don't seem to realise that in just a few years you will have batteries that will be so powerful that 1,000kms+ range will be the norm, and they will take 5 minutes to charge. It's coming, and ICE vehicles will be consigned to the past. It will happen fast too, just like the transition from horse to the car. EVs are part of the next great transport and logistics revolution.

His sons have been running Pattaya and Chonburi since. Even had cabinet posts in the last government. Who says crime doesn't pay?

Against the Thai highway code. Many junctions are similarly marked. No consistency or adherence to regulations. Turning to the right, should give way to the left. Turning left, give way to the right.

Also plausible. They are so immature that a horn honk can provoke them into anger, recklessness and dangerous behaviour.

Sounds like he pulled out and didn't see the bike. The bike honked his horn and the pickup driver floored it instead of stopping where he was. Perhaps if he had stopped, the bike may have hit him. Either way, pickup driver's fault.

Always someone else's fault for their own stupidity and lack of driving skill. 🤷

Nearly all new cars in my moo baan are Chinese EVs. BYD, Ora and Deepal mostly. Toyota have missed the boat on the EV revolution and are now so far behind the Chinese that their sales have slumped. See: Subaru, Honda, Mitsubishi etc.

If you are on a non-immigrant visa and stay for over 180 days in Thailand during a calendar year, you are considered a tax resident.

Yup. Different story when it comes to stealing and extorting money, they are experts.

This is what happens when you have coups, allow entrenched corruption from politicians and never punish anyone properly for what they have done. The circus continues.

Coup incoming in 3-2-1

Priorities.

Some cultures are a lot more primitive than others. That's not racism, that is simple, actual fact.

It is sad, but Thailand is still very much a Third-world country in mentality. The infrastructure may have developed but the education system, political system, the culture, their beliefs, and the mentality stay firmly rooted in centuries past.

Chinese operate loads of businesses in Pattaya.

Cats faeces are everywhere in the slums of Bangkok. My ex-gf used to live in a slum area, so I know from experience.

It is usually up to a single judge in cases like this to reach a verdict. Your post goes way beyond criticising a court decision, into allegations of bribery and corruption. None of which you have any evidence of.

Can you prove your allegations of corruption? Thought not.

Too many of these feral Isarn males in Pattaya.

They could easily limit the amount of ETAs within a given period. I can't see them doing that though, but you never know with Thailand.

Yeh, explains the Thai male psyche and their driving habits.

My gf only works cashier, never go with customer.

Dunno about that. Cambodia has recently implemented an online arrival card system and app, and it seems to work pretty well. Mind you they are already 15 years ahead of Thailand when it comes to e-visas.
