Pattaya Woman on Motorbike Run Over and Killed by Pickup Truck
Mr Meeseeks replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Inadequate driving skills and an almost total lack of responsibility kills tens of Thais every day. Nothing is done. RIP to the poor woman. -
Thai organisations challenge Senate’s prime ministerial authority
Mr Meeseeks replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Correct. -
A government affiliated company I used to work for had dealings with this 'person', and ended up appointing one of his subordinates to the board. The subordinate, completely useless in the business development role he was appointed to, then stole tens of millions of the farang owner's personal assets and company assets from under the owner's nose, in corroboration with the owner's 'trusted' Thai director. The farang owner was a complete mug though, could not get over his own ego and hubris.

Magazine ranks Thailand 9th best retirement spot on Earth

Most of the locals and some expats are on a different planet right enough! -

Wow, you do get around. ???? -
The vast majority of Thais would disagree with you on that one. As an expat, the 10 years from 1996 to 2006 were the halcyon days imo. Yeh, it got a bit worse under Thaksin in terms of visas and bar closing times, but the country modernised significantly under his tenure and you could still get a drink if you knew where to go.

Even they are not that stupid to implement something that would cripple their tourism industry. They cannot get access to other countries' criminal databases either, so sharing data is another non-starter. Retirement visas, different story. Fewer applicants, and longer term stayers so less work overall. Difficult to manage but not impossible. I could see it being implemented for new applicants or renewals.

Murder suspect of Hans Peter Mack case pleads innocence
Mr Meeseeks replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
He may even get off, similar to the accomplices in the body in a freezer murders in Bangkok, not so long ago. They were definitely involved, but got off after grassing and providing evidence on the main suspect. -
It's seemed almost unbelievable just a few days ago, but it's possible. Fatty Watchbuckle at the head of a minority government with no power. Stalemate. "This is what happens when you don't vote for the good people". The traditional contempt for the Thai electorate by the elites and military to continue. If this happened, it would confirm what many think but don't say, that Thailand is just as much of a basket case as the rest of the countries in SEA, perhaps even more so, but with more bells and whistles.

Police Prepare For Nationwide Protests, Parliament Heavily Guarded
Mr Meeseeks replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So, Prawit as PM at the head of a minority government. I can see this happening. Pita received 324 votes, with 182 against and 199 abstentions. 705 voted. So, if those against and the abstentions vote for Prawit there is a clear majority of more than half which is enough. -
No he won't. He will be banned from politics due to the shareholding in iTV and MFP disbanded.

I am always amazed at the reckless, dangerous manner in which many Thais drive their trucks around Thailand. I am sure they would never do this if there were a proper Police force, checks on vehicles, checks on driving standards, and punishments for breaking traffic laws.

Typical in Thailand though. Attention to detail is not a forte.
