Mr Meeseeks

Most of his enemies have had their wings clipped, including former Yellow Shirt leader Sondhi Limthongkul, who was found guilty of fraud and lèse majesté.

When did it begin?

Oh look, it is another one of those agricultural utility vehicles that has been heavily modified and being driven at speed. What a surprise.

Nonsense.

Thainess - a complete refusal to accept reality. Given Thai men like to talk about shagging other women and visiting soapies, brothels etc., when you point out how their country is perceived by foreigners they get annoyed.

Thailand be like

So no evidence that he was speeding then. Thai Police are really a bunch of uneducated clowns. RIP Colin, met you once or twice in Bangkok on the usual circuit.

I went from a new 2019 Benz to a new 2024 BYD and the BYD is much better in terms of build quality and materials. Only thing it lacks imo is the UX of the Benz MBUX system, which was best in class when I bought the car.

Disgusting behaviour from thugs in uniform.

Eek! That's three chemical leaks in a week. Someone might think there's no proper health and safety here.

He should print out a big vinyl sign with all this stuff on it, and have his photo taken in front of it. Otherwise, no-one will be able to understand what is going on.

I was only told the sale of the A380's was blocked by the courts. Wasn't told much more than that. Unfortunately no source that I can link to or post here, so take it with a pinch of salt.

I ate in that Sky Gallery once. Once was enough.

They are still on the apron at Suvarnabhumi as of last Friday. I have been informed that the sale has been ordered to be stopped by a court as TG still owe money due to their insolvency.

Getting rid of them all will be the problem once the Thais realise their mistake. In my crystal ball I see the visa free entry being revoked, extensions for longer term visas being refused, then followed by loads of them staying illegally. Time will tell if I am correct.

There were plenty on here arguing that he was ill. 🤷‍♂️

Dave Cameron was over recently discussing it. Giving visa free entry to the UK will result in a great many Thais staying and working illegally. Look at Singapore and South Korea as the examples. There's a reason it is difficult for them to get visas.

Nevertheless, they seem convinced of their opinions that Russians will be more trouble that they're worth.

I spoke with some Thais on the Darkside in Pattaya yesterday evening about the influx of Russians. Some interesting takeaways: 1. Entire families are coming on tourist visas here to stay permanently 2. They work illegally and don't care as they need money to achieve No.1 3. Russians will likely use other Russian owned businesses thus no benefit to local community 4. They are on the run from the war This is not my opinion, this was being discussed by Thais.

Another anecdote, but I was on my way back from Rayong on Sukhumvit the other day when a black Triton was attempting to overtake me. He was driving erratically and dangerously behind. I kept my pace just in front of him. Having a much faster vehicle I could have easily sped off, but we were already doing 110kph. We came to a red light, and I slowed down and stopped, at the front of the queue in the middle lane. The Triton overtook on my right side, blasting through the red light and almost wiping out a motorcycle turning right. The bike rider certainly would have been killed. Beating or passing me was the most important consideration, not driving safely or stopping on the red light. This is the issue of cultural arrogance. Until this attitude is forced out of them, and severe punishments such as jail sentences vehicle confiscations are meted out, there will be no change.

You'd think such a genius idea of painting the crossing a different colour would have changed the attitude, driving skills and cultural arrogance of Thai drivers. Alas, this appears not to be the case. Back to the drawing board.

They towed Rohingya refugees back out to sea in their boats after removing the engines, so I guess they can do as they please.

Big Joke is a friend of fatty watchman.

Indeed. I have experienced a few incidents around the lake and Darkside with these children in adult bodies, so I am aware and careful in my actions. There's a lot of complete nutcases out there on Thai roads and especially in Pattaya and on the Darkside. Last incident was a pick-up aggressively and dangerously driving on my back wheel while I am riding my big bike, then aggressively trying to follow me when I overtook other traffic to try to get away from them. They then drove extremely dangerously and overtaking in dangerous areas, on bends and into oncoming traffic. This was completely unprovoked, and I just accelerated away from them. Luckily my big bike has plenty of power and I was easily able to put some distance between me and this total nutter.

Not when there's another vehicle already on the intersection.
