Mr Meeseeks

Goodness gracious me! Hope everyone is ok.

They are mostly all conmen in my experience of dealing with them.

It is as if there are no Police. It is that bad! Spot checks for tea money collection aside, and they are completely ineffective at enforcing the law.

i’m in my late 40’s so that is a negative Ghostrider.

The General Surayud Chulanont administration was not a ‘government’ but a military junta, that removed Thaksin as PM in a coup in 2006. Not to mention the war on drugs was sanctioned in a certain birthday speech from someone we cannot mention here.

Thais learning how to manage anything would be a similar leap in evolution as homo erectus discovering fire. Also, not going to happen. Too much corruption here and too many vested interests threatened.

No.

It's still not in the 'boondocks' though, and it is a very busy road 24 hours a day. You really are a tedious and argumentative little chap aren't you?

Pong Klang 2 ain't in the boondocks. It's a very busy road between Mabprachan Lake and the highway. It's a very dangerous road because of people making all these right turns across two lanes of traffic. They just resurfaced the road. Of course, anyone with half a brain would have ensured there was a dividing median, so accidents like this wouldn't happen, but then brains are in short supply here.

She lost her life because of her own carelessness and stupidity. RIP.

Deport him for a traffic offence? Jawohl, mein Führer! 🫡

Call me cynical, but they have only got a problem because he is a 'rich' foreigner with a bike they can't afford. So a Police officer can ride it while it is impounded, and kill another person on a pedestrian crossing?

National sport here, unfortunately. Hope you fully recover @BritManToo our thoughts at the Meeseek's household are with you.

Illegal in my Western country I am afraid. Human trafficking is a very serious crime where I am from.

Not torpedo them, but they could tow them out to sea and leave them with no power, food, or water as has been alleged that the Thai Navy has done before.

Cannot and would not be enforced, unfortunately. Good idea though, would certainly make a difference.

You can criticize the leaders in the West. Can’t do that in Russia, China or even Thailand. Tells me all I need to know.

I don’t think I have seen a post that is as filled with as much nonsense as this one is on this forum, and that is quite an achievement. Well done sir.

There is no good governance in Thailand.

Tell that it’s just about business to the Nazis, the Communists, or to other extremists and religious fanatics. Putin is a dictator, nothing ever good comes of appeasing them, as history shows.

They want to keep the peasants dumb, not educated.

Wrong. You do not have a tax ID if you are a tourist.

They have loads of autos in stock. I'd rather pay less and get them the next day than run the risk of importing.

I am a permanent resident, own businesses here, employ thousands of Thais and pay tax into the coffers of this government. Sorry, but it definitely is my business.
