Mr Meeseeks

No sh** Sherlock.

Typical.

For context, and for those that don't know, he is the son of Kamnan Po, the famous 'Godfather of Chonburi'.

Really? I have taken many Bolts and would never describe their driving as 'superb'.

Yep. Next time he will end up killing someone. Children.

Drove to BKK and back yesterday on the 7. Traffic was heavy due to the holiday. Saw the usual number of nutters driving dangerously and weaving in and out of traffic and driving pick-ups and SUV derivatives as sports cars. Some very unstable people out there.

Then the same should apply to the military officers that were in charge during the various coups, the Tak Bai massacre, at the Rajaprasong massacre of civilians etc.

IIRC that was sanctioned by a higher authority than Thaksin.

Complete hyperbolic nonsense. You've never heard of Thanom, Colonel Narong, General Praphas Charusathien, Suchinda or Sunthorn Kongsompong then? Not to mention Thailand was a fascist state under Phibun from 1939 until the end of the war, and no, not because of the Japanese invasion.

Seems to be a problem at all levels here. ????

You can see what type of person he is from his face. A money worshipping devil.

Contractors stealing the cement and diluting the mix down too much again? Tsk tsk.

The problem is that they think they can do what they want without consequences, until something like this happens. Then it’s too late. ????

They will have divided up the assets already. Harleys are expensive here, and a status symbol to some extent. Those occupations are reserved for the RTP only.

The RTP are taking the opportunity to send a message and make some money from the assets the foreigners will have now donated.

Changed days now though mate, a lot more people here now, and a lot more lower-class people thanks to budget air travel.

As expats and long term residents, what happens in Thailand could directly affect us. As a taxpayer, business owner and employer, I am entitled to voice my opinion on Thai politics should I wish to do so. You are also very free to ignore our opinions, and this thread.

Deep down they know it all too well, but they don't like the truth, unfortunately. Thailand is a very dirty and polluted country, which is still very much developing from 'Third-World' status. Cambodia and in particular Phnom Penh is worse! A quick drive around the back roads of Pattaya will reveal fly tipping everywhere, refuse in large piles outside accommodation blocks, people discarding litter out of their car windows etc. Again, it comes down to lack of enforcement and punishments for offenders.

Chalerm? Chuwit? Chan-o-Ocha!

Inadequate driving skills and an almost total lack of responsibility kills tens of Thais every day. Nothing is done. RIP to the poor woman.

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.

This. ☝️

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

Wow, you do get around. ????
