ikke1959

No use... in my neighbourhood, the brother of a friend friend from my stepson, died because he was racing without an helmet, 17 yrs old. The whole family in deep grieve but a few weeks later we saw him 15 years speeding in the middle of the road with no helmet... What did he learn from the dead of his brother???And my stepson proudly told us they went to Cha Am on the motorcycle speeding 12okm ove rthe highway.. That was fun... Now I know that stupidity can't be cured

Normal in Thailand.. Hdere in Phetchaburi many cars are driving around like that and every day they have to test it seems and when they use it on the parties or fairs and markets you can here them km far... but with a failing policeforce ... what can you expect?

14 year olds are not allowed to drive a motorcycle, wearing no helmets and no drivers license.... Many more to follow this week as nobody cares... teachers, parents, RTP... Sadly loss of young lives but if nobody does anything more are following...

For someone who nearly died he is very active ... he should be out of politics but it is all Thaksin we read every day everywhere, and in the coming debate his doings can't be questioned... Strange .. So good block him and lock him up

Thailand is the hub of controlling people.. The alcohol ban sales and buy hours and on Buffhist holidays so so outdated and have no real effect on the Thai people and is only a problem for the Tourism sector. Living in Thailand we know where to buy a beer but as a tourist you don't know. Best solution is end this stupid law and make people responsible for themselves.. Between 11 and 14.00 is only possible because the lawmakers were thinking about parties like weddings and ordination of new monks so than it must be possible to serve a alcoholic drink, but it is a joke to pretend to prevent kids from buying alcohol as schools ends at 16.00 but almost all kid are never at home before 17.00 and than alcohol can be bought again.. Fake reasons Sell alcohol to who it wnat to buy and with a age limit and if the shop doubts ask an id.. all problems solved

as long as we can get rid of these crooks everything should be tried.. I know too but if nobody ever make a statement nothing will ever change... and we all know that the army and the elite will never accept something else as they still keep the power to enrich themselves and keep the country back

It only shows who probably are involved too... RTP is untrustworthy

So again a proof how conservative Thailand is with outdated laws and rules... Happily the court made a wise decision to enter in the 21st century. But of course let it be noted that hair must be decent, washed, and clean. And teachers that can not accept this decision must retire as keeping old ideas are influencing their teachings too

It are the netizens who causes these problems, by not following the traffic rules, and when crossing the street the unawareness of being careful and be sure no traffic is coming.. But in Thailand everybody blames everybody except themselves. The Government should make crossings on speed bumps, but there already people who are against it as they have lowered their car and could cross it.. The question is why did they lower their car?? probably the only answer sportive and speed... but not for their safety.

Maybe a good solution would be a working policeforce for tourists as Thai, and for Thai netizens a proper driving education instead of a few hour attendance of a video show, maintenance of roads and speed bumps and more traffic signs around the roads...But Thailand likes to talk, have seminars and than problem solved without any thing doing. Next day is business as usual

Again of proof of the many lies of this Government... New elections are needed

Surprise surprise..... with MFP the outcome was totally different, but with Mr Thaksin and cronies, the elite and army in power nothing can happen... Shameful democracy

Soft power to attack tourists...

Wondering what a football chairman is doing with politics ...... and Thaksin should be not there too as it is not allowed to talk about him in the debate.. How crazy can things be in Thailand

yes they are no Buddhists but mixed religion and pretend to be Buddhist.. Buddhism is not about gambling, gossip, killing and even drinking alcohol is nor forbidden unless you are a monk..And no other Buddhistic countries there is an alcohol ban on holy days,,,And why can you drink alcohol between 11.00 and 14.00?? Just because there a activities or parties in and around temples for weddings, making you men monks etc etc, and than they give food to the monks and after that the party starts and people will drink with their food.... in a temple or a party were monks praying and eating and that is never a problem for the Thai Buddhist...Hypocrisy

Thailand and Buddhism... Thailand is not a Buddhistic country but a mix of several religions.. Netizens only use Buddhism as an excuse when it is useful for them...Real Buddhists should not kill eachother, but respect lives, have compassion.... not deport people, work on their own live to become better instead of being greedy, jealous, gambling to get more money etc and many more... See todays headlines.... how many people have been killed already.. That is not Buddhism

What a joke..... Modernize the whole alcohol law... sell and buy everyday from a age of 21 with id card by doubts .. Much better than all this kind of so called solutions for stimulating tourism.. This is not working, just because Pattaya and Phuket are tourism spots with foreign tourists and Thai tourism must be boosted in May, but when you are Thai you are not allowed to buy alcohol than??

ASEAN countries were already visa free for Thai travellers..and How many Thais will go to Peru, Panama, Argentina, Brazil etc... O I forgot of course the Thai massage ladies

Of course the public is dissatisfied... Promised the 10K wallet scheme.... still postponed month by month... and what have they achieved or done yet?? nothing.. Even a voting can't pass because there are too less MP's to vote... and the PM is almost never at the meetings.. And everybody is busy with to bring Yingluck back to the country and a former fugitive is doing what the Government should do, but this mane is only doing business for his own pocket... Nothing changed with this Government as it was before.... Thailand is going back in economy, tourism and popularity..... Sadly but true

In Thailand they invent every day the wheel again in everything.. They have no clue what they are doing.

If there was a good registration system, modern and computerized, there would never be a problem. Transfers of land should be done by lawyer or solliciters instead hand over papers which could be fake or not registered.. We don't live in the 19th century anymore and everybody who owns land or want to buy land should be able to visit the registers.... but here it is only paperwork and stamps and old fashion way of handling this poperty with all kind problems and fake transactions.

He should be banned from driving for 10 years and brought to court, instead punished by the police...I saw the video too and the man is just crazy, but there are many like this...Big fines and punishments are the best options.. He has no license plate so he is not even allowed to be on the road

All elections in Thailand are a farce... this another one with corruption, and promised benefits, who are elected... And the EC must be dismantled as soon as possible.. They are the worst institution of all elections

It was not that Pita could not form a Government .. He had no opportunity to form one as the old guard were holding back on him,.. It was impossible to do as he was/is not accepted.. In a normal democracy the biggest parties would join hands and form a Government, but here the refused even to try to make one... and as excuse section 112...In the Netherlands nobody wants to make a Government with the PVV ( a right winged party).. for the same reasons....Look what in a mess they are now too...Same here in Thailand. As soona s MFP won there were suddenly all kind of cases against Pita and the Senators even refused to vote.. Is That democracy and than as excuse he could not form a Government// No of course not if all parties already say we don't want to rule with you you are doomed.

Most drugs dealers are Thais.. and of course foreigners will buy , but the police is only watching in a one way direction. Believe me... In my neighbourhood there is drug dealer too, and when he is caught he has to pay a 50k and RTP release him, till next time.. Easy to blame foreigners but there are more criminal Thai in this country out of 70 million than foreigners
