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.

Former owner of an elephant sanctuary?

One of the big scams they perpetrate is buying land. The person in charge that signs off on it usually gets a big brown envelope from the sellers for allowing the land sale to go through, often at vastly inflated prices. The land, bought under false pretences to be used for a sub-station or offices etc. is never used but remains an asset of the government dept.

🤣 Bingo.

Being a civil servant must pay extremely well in Thialand. 😆

It won't work on arrival.

Signs of an economy in big trouble.

They could have made it a tourist tax and got the hotels etc. to collect it from foreigners as they do in Malaysia.

More importantly, now protected by law against any criticism whatsoever.

The economy is in real trouble. The 300thb was proposed to be levied on all visitors so they could use it for free medical treatment for tourists. Those of us who understand Thailand know that would never happen, and it was just another opportunity for graft and self-enrichment.

It's incredible they still cannot get this right in the reports.

Karma for the owners. A real shame for all the animals that suffered and died in their cages.

Same as KL, Malaysia. You have to register on the app first though.

What a coward, running away after causing the accident.
