Same story all the time... 13 year olds are not allowed to ride a motorcycle.. where is RTP to enforce the law where are the parents and why do they allow it?? Tragic but normal in this country

That number is lower than in the past years, but maybe that is why they made it 10 days. , This year average of 36 a day Last year 284 in 7 days is average of 40.. It looks better, although for many families more grief than party for 2025, and next Songkran again for other families and it goes on and on

You are well informed... The law is changed from man and wife into person.... No man and wife anymore... all the rest is the same

I don't think the curve is/was the problem

that are 127.600 people on a population of 76 million....And who are these rich? Ministers, military, and others and some business people...The people with debt and no money is many times higher

Sadly to read comment like this... you have to get some more things to learn i think

Sad to see and read that so many comments are so badly informed about gays and the same sex marriage.. Comments enough but they have no clue.. Foreigners can marry Thais, but everybody has to be informed even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the British Embassy indeed doesn"t give permission yet... Only when Anutin has signed again to confirm...

Anutin has to sign first so that all countries are being informed, but he refuses it seems..Probably to show he has power

According to Bangkok Pride, who is organizing the mass wedding, Anutin has to sign to confirm and several Embassies will not give the permission if this is not done yet...Can find on facebook under Bangkok Pride and you read it in Thai as well in English.. There was confusion first if it would be possible as according to the law 120 after publishing in the Royal Gazette, but the court decided that it only can start from 23rd January, being the 121st day after publishing...

It is a big step only Mr Anutin haven't signed the law yet and therefor it is still not possible to get married before he signed it. There is a lot of confusion going on now as Embassies can't give the permission to get marry yet before the law is signed by Anutin, but we all know that this man want to show his power and probably will sign the 22nd

but there is no money for raising the daily wages, there is no need to update the outdated Thai laws, as they can own land and houses in other countries, and they can bring very expensive things from abroad without paying any import tax... They should be ashamed that these superrich people keep the population so poor... If there is karma they will pay for it

Sounds so simple as I read it but there is no awareness in Thailand, no education in driving, school or at home and everybody drives as they like and no enforcement of any law. In the Western countries the fines are high and must be paid but with the corruption of a few hundred THB you never can control the traffic. The lazy and corrupt RTP is a big part of the problems.. and speeding at longer distances as you claim is totally not true.. Here everybody is speeding even in my soi which is barely 300meters cars and motorcycles drive like crazy...and not only in my soi in many others too as friends experience the same

happily she forget her kid, suppose it was her phone....

Nobody will ever understand the politics in Thailand. The Same Sex Marriage Law passed by thye parliament, the Senate , His Majesty the King signed it and it was published in the Royal Gazette.. The law would be active after 120 days but confusion if it was 22 or 23 January. A judge/court had to decide.. Today at last the court gave the verdict it will be 23 January.. But suddenly Mr Anutin must sign the law, and he refuses... so still nobody knows when or if the Same Sex Marriage will go on.. Why is Anutin refusing? he has no power to old it against as the King signed it and approved.. Probably he want to show he has power and will sigh maybe the 22nd. It is a disgrace how the LGHBTQ community is treated by this Government.. And than Ms pupput making nice promisses.. They even can't anything good

The numbers are not correct i think... it would mean that the last days almost no deaths were in the traffic accidents as yesterday there were already 175....

More holidays are needed.... and less rules on the roads....it seems every year there must be set a new record...I am so sorry for the people who thought to party , but are in grieve now... and I have no mercy for the ones who speeding, drinking or drugged as a driver.. and I don't know why the police and the Government don't shame themselves with every year putting so many lives at danger.. They should be prosecuted for recklessness

Soft power to attrack tourists.. Thailand the hub of safe travel for tourism.... Last months it is terrible how many busses with tourists are having an accident... And the Government promised more safety and checking

It is very obvious that Thai People want to change. Not culprits anymore who are now in charge with their empty promises. Nothing has been yet for the country and the people

Check points are no use... In 20 years I live here I never was halted on New Year or Songkran, but only on week days to check the sticker for the tax payment... Nothing more never asked for a drivers license even...It sounds great to make road safer, but they don't do anything about it in reality

This doll will do much better than the lazy real RTP...Maybe a try out to replace them all..

He opened the drawer and found the same book as last years and now he is pretending it will be better and safer, and next week the book disappears again in the drawer

I must say that when I drive on the road I see many times ambulances or other cars with only lights on, but no sirenes... I also give them way, but I have strongly the impression that they only use their lights to get a free way... In fact lights AND sound is a must to give them free way, but only lights I am not sure.. Same for other cars as police escorts, firefighters, or even common people which have the red and blue lights on or in their cars.. No wonder there is confusion... This week in Hua Hin there was an ambulance with light and sound and everybody gave them free way, but when he do the U turn to the hospital, I don't know what happened, but the driver jumped out of the ambulance and went to the car behind him and "talked" to him and went back to his ambulance to go further.. Than I am wondering how serious injured or help was needed for the patient inside..

Already injured and a dead that will not be counted in the 7 days dangerous days, Later they are proud that there were less accidents

Thai people all have an eardamage already because of the loud music on parties, cars, temples, concerts, and all kind of other activities.. They have to scream to eachother. Here in my neighbourhood there is a family too with a daughter that only can scream when talking, we can hear word by word what they are talking about... Probably same in this case.. Young people don't care about others, parents who never tell them to lower their voice and when somebody makes comments, they get angry as they think that they are not allowed to have fun, with this kind of results.. It is no wonder, but again no enforcement of laws and lack of capable police.. The police will only say .. they have the right to have a party or make fun..but nobody shows up with decibelmeters or come to tell them to lower the noise...Because in the wild west of Thailand you could be killed, shot, or assaulted , and the richer or higher ranked they are in the society the more they think is allowed.

Instead if 500 THB fine it will be now 750 THB fine and you can drive on after payment... Only 1 week every year all other days don't matter.. And read the articles today on Aseannow.. All accidents and that is not because the drivers felt responsible for their actions..and speeding is another problem if you watch the pictures and see how the cars look after the accident
