Mr Meeseeks

A vicious and cowardly attack perpetrated by a complete animal.

Rapid transit, rapid action! 😂

100% correct.

The final decision will be up to Thaksin, our very own Wizard of Oz.

I see no self-control from many Thais here on a daily basis. Mostly on the roads but also a lot of passive-agressive behaviour. A lot of pent-up emotions within people that are, for want of a better phrase, still children in adult bodies.

The OCA (overlapping claims area) is home to a lot of oil and gas reserves, which Thailand and Cambodia hope to jointly exploit in the near future. The sovereignty of the islands will have to be agreed upon by both parties if the development of these oil fields goes ahead.

The boats would have seen the submarine miles away, and sped off. 😆 That is how useless and embarrassing the sub will be.

Thais drive on the correct side, as has been the way since Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Always remember, you changed because of the French.

Those countries made drink-driving culturally unacceptable using campaigns in the media. There's no way these jumped-up little Generals who have never been told no will change their behaviour.

Nice little extortion racket.

Without a shadow of a doubt. If you are thinking Singapore, or Genting in Malaysia, think again and picture Sihanoukville instead.

Chinese gangsters all in it together. Gambling is probably the worst and most destructive of all vices. The unrestrained greed and corruption currently prevalent in Thailand is destroying what was once an incredible country.

More likely to have played for Celtic, with the institutional child sexual abuse that went on at that club for decades.

Absolutely. They only know how to copy/steal and prioritise greed/profits over sustainability. Now that methodology is having profoundly negative effects on the economy, much as it did in 1997.

Hung like a moose? In Scotland moose = mouse. 😆

I did say clever societies.

Life must be difficult when you have a small p*nis.

Allowing U-turns anywhere into oncoming traffic is dangerous. That's why clever societies have roundabouts.

All imports.

Correct. I also believe that the market has been described as 'illegal' by Thai authorities in the past, after investigations by foreign media. Yet it was allowed to continue and this is the result.

So then the insurance policies that the BMA have should pay. Not the Thai taxpayer.

Firstly, the article in the OP is admitting there are issues with maintenance on the ARL. Secondly, the accident on the KLIA Ekpress was minor and did not result in the shutdown of the service. Thirdly, you are way wrong about the speeds of both systems. The ARL operating speed is 120kmh while the KLIA Ekpress is a proper high speed rail with operating speed of 160kmh and top speed of 200kmh. Finally, KL is a much nicer and more picturesque city than Bangkok. I prefer Bangkok, because I love it having lived there 34 years, but comparing the two you have to be objective. I didn't even mention the many incidents with the ARL including the frequent power outages, the death of a woman on the tracks, mechanical problems etc. As a frequent user of both services, the KLIA Ekpress service is far superior. No question.

Who is going to pay this 'compensation'? Surely not the taxpayer. Insurance policies should cover losses.

Too hard to implement and manage is my guess. Maybe they worked out that after the time and cost of setting it all up, the opportunities for graft were not worth the hassle.
