ikke1959

What can you expect over overloaded schoolbusses even older than the one of the fire, or just open vans crowded with kids, standing in the back of the van,, no seatbelts, no protection and even a bench in the middle of the van for more kids that is not even fastened or screwed for safety.. they will swirl through the van ... But nobody cares... as I wrote yesterday the mai pen rai attitude is a distaster for Thailand and nobody really nobody will take any responsibility for what so ever... Always others to blame, the weather, the road, the brakes, the cellphone, the wind, an other driver .....

For the tax paying you need your car being inspected at a station.. Last year there was an old car with a lot of blacksmoke, a broken brakelight at the back but there was no problem, he got his paper and could go to pay the tax.. That is what only counts in Thailand... pay the tax, but don't check vehicles decently... and that is only 1 I was witnessing how many other with more problems are being approved?? Besides that let your car check at your dealer and they only renew/replace some parts, but never check the profiles on the tires, the brakes, the pressure of the tires and several more unless you ask for it and than they still don't do it... No wonder so many dangerous vehicles are on the roads

That has not happened with normal speed....

In many countries it is common to show that the nation support the victims

Like botox can make people younger and beautiful,,, here a new color and you have a new bus....Looks new outside inside rotten...

As I wrote in another article ... another mai pen rai attitude... They have to listen and do as they are told as we all do and all being frustrated.... Shameful that this can happen in the 21st century, but I forgot . Thailand is at least 75 years behind

That is the problem in Thailand... No investments are made no changes no renewals .... Look how many trucks are driving around more than 75 years old or older.... and that in a era of climate change.. a 54 year old bus will pollute a lot and besides that they are totally out of date.... I always say that the mai pen rai attitude in Thailand will bring Thailand in big troubles on everything.. Mai pen rai no helmet, mai pen rai, old bus, mai pen rai, flooding, mai pen rai 10k wallet for alcohol sales, mai pen rai no study you will pass anyway, mai pen rai hitting with sticks or mai pen rai being insulted if you are a pupil in a military school and the list can go on

The Pm should announce a day of national mourning flags half pole and everyone wearing black because of this tragic accident

It will never happen... the case will be adjourned for20??? just as it was the case for the violation of section 112 to next year.... He was granted bail and freedom, while others for less are bail refused and jailed for many years... So will this happen too.. he is fake sick and that will be used to postpone and postpone and adjourn the whole case...

You are right the abuse of section 112 is always a big threat for Thai and all other nationalities...people are disappearing, or jailed for an outdated law that is used to silence the oppositions.

All laws should be reviewed and the alcohol sales hours, the extreme tax on imported alcohol should be banned too.. They want to stimulate the economy, but they withhold it with the outdated laws and the so called protecting of the Thai people, instead of let them have freedom to invent and give possibilities.

Nobody is safe in Thailand except Thais.... Now Vietnamese, but also Rohinya, refugees from Myanmar... all are send back... The hub of Human Rights

The whole community is built on money money and money.... Nothing is more important.. and for the 10k handout is already proven that it is a disaster.. people buy alcohol, spend it on wrong things and are even assaulted for it.. It would be better as I wrote many times get them 20 vouchers of 500 THB printed with the id card of the owner able to spend all over Thailand, but not for alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, and lottery.. The first handout is made but I am wondering how many lottery tickets are bought now for today.... The handout is already a disaster and the economy will get no benefit of it at all

It is easy to blame a storm for the failing management of the past years....Of course a storm will damage properties, but what is ever done to keep the impact low.. Never built a dike to prevent floods, never cleaned canals and waterways, they sell lands to built houses near rivers, concrete every where the water cant go any where and many more, while climate change is already going on for years, but there are no plans in Thailand... only try to solve problems as they occur instead of preventing them

There is no shame in the EC... as long as it is not Pita and friends, or other opposition people there is never a problem, and surely with the big brown envelopes of Daddy all evidence is gone...

The kids are being hit by everybody... I see parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, older brothers and sisters, teachers, monks hit kids for minor offences... Once a mother hit a toddler because she was sitting in a shopping cart and wanted a donut from Mr Donut. The mother hit the kid because she wanted and pointed and cried for one... And in an other place we were having lunch a kid in a corner cried. the kid was barely 2 years old and a grand father hit it with a stick several times because the kid cried. When I wanted to grab the stick and hit the grandfather with it as I was so angry to see it, my partner told me not to interfere because it was normal in Thailand.....And years later when I was in school teaching a classroom Thai teacher hit a student with with a stick, and than I took the stick out of her hands and broke it, as in my class no students are being hit.... It was a real issue even had to report by the director... And still I have seen many times in other schools too that kids are being hit for nothing and not just a small tick but really they hit that the kid flies up... And everybody tells me the same.. It is normal in Thailand.... No law can end this

Evry year a one time handout of 10k??? Raie the salaries to a decent level of 600 THB a day or even better change from day wages to monthly salaries.... 15K a month for a 6 day working week all extra days off included... That is 500 a day for a full month.No matter how days off there are and working hours not more than 8 day. Far better than old fashion day wages.. And people can work on a daily base or parttime.. That is what in they do in the Western world too...There will be no problems..but keeping the people here poor is much worse by extra days off that don't need to be off ( substitute days)

Japan is far away.. Maybe also warnings for the storms and typhoons in the Caribbean????

foreign people??? they are called aliens or farangs...even when they talk about a foreigner they will always falang and not even his/her name... Besides that Thailand is known for decades already as the country of sex... So why this article?

Than there is a lot of stock as it is not sold out after 6 months all over Thailand

A poor woman .... what can she do with a one time 10k handout??? It is just a drop there is more needed for every day every year.. When does the Government and businesses with the ultra rich get that?? This kind of stories is only to give a good feeling and show how good this Government is, but the reality for them is different

Indeed... but the orders and things contracts must be paid.. with less THB for a USD will mean you have to pay more USD for the same product ..and that means more income for Thailand on the short term.. but by being expensive I am wondering if they will get many new orders..And it will also affect tourism.. Thailand is getting too expensive again, but the Government doesn't seems to understand.

Maybe not clear but there is a difference between a legal Marriage and visa requirements.

Maybe google first before comment

It is not strange.. The Government doesn't want to loose face and the Digital Wallet shall be a success, However the success of the boost of the economy has another reason than the Digital Wallet, but that will be underestimated... Besides that the very expensive THB will bring more THB in Thailand as everything is more expensive for foreign currencies.. The result is that it seems that the economy is growing because there is more money coming in, but that is only because of the expensive THB... How many (new) orders are there for next year not the THB is so expensibve? No wonder the Government pretend to be worried and ask the bank to do something, but you will see that the figures will be looking better because of this Government, but it is all fake
