Happens to me too all the time.. accidently ... Driver don't look further that the end of their car it seems.. The haven.t learned to watch and see in the distance what is going on.. This is also an example.. A normal driver could drive without hitting the man as it is obvious he is laying on the road.. Again, the driving education must be reformed

Everything, really everything must be rehearsed... even if they do it for many years.. example is for Wai Kru Day, kids who do it since p1 and now in p6 must rehearse .... My partner was in the election office last year, and there was a few days before a meeting for a rehearsel.... Nothing can be done in Thailand without control...

Politics Thai Opposition Demands House Dissolution Amid Coup Concerns
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The army is meant to protect the country against invaders and enemies.. Not to be involved in politics, so i don't understand why the army is warning... Is the real enemy the Thai people and the politicians??? The Sinawatra clan is a real enemy indeed, but there is no need to perform a coup for it to get rid of this family... A good justice court could fix the problem, as a coup will throw the country back economical, financial and political... -

Analysis Thailand in Trouble: Expats Exit as Vietnam Steals the Show
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Indeed and a Dutch citizen went to court because he did not agree with the higher price, but the judge said it was ok because foreigners are richer than the Thai...That is justice in Thailand and is not been seen as discrimination.. But all foreigners feel scammed by this verdict -
Analysis Thailand in Trouble: Expats Exit as Vietnam Steals the Show
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
no enforcement of law is because the RTP is corrupt and too lazy to enforce any law.. How many crackdowns on black smoke fuming cars have there been already and how many do you see daily??? I at least 3 or 4 every day.... and talking about air quality .. Now there is enforcement of helmets.. I don't know if you can see it but there are signs already at least in my province that you get 2 warnings and than you can get a fine....and in Thai news they have mentioned that 2k is too expensive for poor people... My answer is " wear a helmet and you will not be fined"... Is this not outdated?? and how about the conservative labour laws?? in fact you are not allowed to work in your garden as it is a protected Thai job and also wash your car.. Even be careful if you bring family or friends to the airport as it could be seen as an illegal taxi... Welcoming tourists, expats and retirees??? Yes you are a boy, because you don't know what is going on.. Life experience comes in years -
Another sad story, due to a lack of help in any way..The boy should be in school, why was the school not in contact with the parents for a reason of being absent,. Nobody in the neighbourhood noticed that they are lost a lot of weight??? Strange as everybody in Thailand knows almost everything of everyone.. It is claimed they live in isolation, but still

Analysis Thailand in Trouble: Expats Exit as Vietnam Steals the Show
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Although many expats have already noticed this and talked about it here on the forum, Thailand is refusing to listen.. This is the result of outdated and conservative laws, and requirements and lack of changing .. Welcome retirees and expats instead of chasing them away, because once they are gone they will never come or come back again..- 219 replies

I know, but you can't expect that a 14year old has enough brains to stay alone.. In the West indeed there are case too, but here in Thailand which claims to take care of everyone and live a Buddhistic life this should be impossible.. and it is not the first case here this year we read about..Nothing to do with kids who run away from homes or are in foster care.. Here is no foster care..You can't compare ,,,, Except for the teacher there is/was a lack of common sense of everyone living around here...

Tourism Israel-Iran Conflict Puts Thai Tourism in Jeopardy
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand claims everything to explain why the tourists stay away. Now the Israel Iran war is the reason.. However TAT does apparently not know that almost every tourist is planning his holiday months ahead, and only a few last minute...So this war of 1 week will not have a huge impact on the tourists as they claim, but is due to already existing reasons, as too expensive destination, not welcoming tourists by several outdated rules as vaping, alcoholsales, double standards and pricing, air pollution, dangerous roads etc etc.- 40 replies

Report Thailand Cracks Down on Illegal Expat Workers to Protect Local Jobs
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
yes sure.. cheap workers who are working long hours and get paid nothing or less than Thai people would get... That is why Thai people don't do these jobs.. They want to have big wages only.... In my neighbourhood and village several Thai people and also me can not find a Thai gardener as they only want to have a big payment and short working hours... Just an example... If a Myanmar gardener will do the job he can easily make money.. That brings money in his pocket that he will spend on food and articles to live with which is coming in the Thai economy, but we all can't find anyone.. Strange isn't it?? so I do my job and my neighbours do their own gardens and the Thai economy will not get any benefit... But maybe you are not realizing that. It is just a simple example -

Report Thailand Cracks Down on Illegal Expat Workers to Protect Local Jobs
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thai people only want to make a lot of money for a light and easy clean job, but nobody like to work for simple work with a lower salary... They are too lazy.. I had some construction works and a Thai came and wanted to do the job, and I had to pay him , but he did not do anything and brought another worker for it... just to say... But I got the phone number of the man and now when I need to do something I contact him directly and he is happier as he earns more now as the intermediator is gone..just to say -

Indeed.. "normal" work is all restricted only the high end education jobs are available as Thai people are and can't be educated for that.. Nevertheless most foreigners are not the high end workers here as they can earn much more in other countries... I always talk in general, common people... even volunteer jobs are not allowed in Thailand, to do by retirees and in fact even not allowed to work in your garden or even cleaning your house... Nobody will complain, but according to the law it is forbidden... -
Report Thai Street Food and Beverage Sector Faces Three-Year Slowdown
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It will rise as there is a chase for expats who are streetsellers too... Protection of normal jobs only allowed for Thais... The few expats who are now streetsellers will loose their customers to the Thais, which will boost the economy even more -
