So what?? Even with 80 nobody drives that they all speed much more and nothing is happening...Think it will be different now?? Start with the trucks and overloaded cars to fine as they use the middle and right lanes. They will obstruct more

British Tourist Faces Charges for 'Destroying an Official Document'
Thank you xenophobic person... better should show respect to others instead of shouting go home.. If all foreigners should leave there is not much left of Thailand.. Look at the factories that are leaving already and tourism is going down.. The Government is begging.......and trying to attrack more .... but people like you keep them away

British Tourist Faces Charges for 'Destroying an Official Document'
I don't have problems with the law.. There are too many outdated laws for a country that pretends to be a modern country..the laws here are all fexible.. look at the date when you can do a same sex marriage.. Nobody knows yet if it will be the 22nd or the 23rd of January.. They make laws but don't enforce them, or don't know when they start.. And lwas should be for everybody the same and not for foreigners different than the own population

British Tourist Faces Charges for 'Destroying an Official Document'
In my country the police will come in the middle of the night to get their money for the fines if you don't pay.... In my country the fines are for everybody the same, no matter from which country you are and in my country people are not so xenophobic as here, only when it about the money out of tourism Thailand promotes their country but as soon as you are in you will be scammed

Ex-MP Claims Thaksin is the True Leader of the Government
It is not the group that is affected.. It is that people here never know what or when a law is working in fact... Nothing clear. And for the Same Sex couples it is a disgrace that a group is being ignored like this

Ex-MP Claims Thaksin is the True Leader of the Government
This Government indeed needs a leader.. Nobody in the whole country knows when the Same Sex Marriage will be possible it seems. Is it the 22nd of January or the 23rd?? Apparently a judge has do a verdict .... whil it is so simple 120 days after publication... But even this is for the Government to difficult to announce... and so many couples, Amphurs etc are waiting for the date.... A true Government makes a law and gives a date, no judge needed...

Navigating Pattaya: Are Thai-Language Signs Confusing Tourists?
Signs are only signs... , sometimes they appear suddenly at roadworks, nothing before, sometimes only in Thai ,sometimes incorrect about km distances, sometimes nothing a foreigner can read and nobody who can help them because almost nobody talks any English...This is Thailand and its tourism... The most signs for roads are ok as the picture shows,

Teenager’s Mercedes Crashes onto Six-Wheeler in Miraculous Escape
My parents had brains, maybe these have money but no brains I don't no which is worse.. I am wondering what would happen if their boy died.... A big funeral, but all their money could not compensate that loss.... Although I am wondering if parents in Thailand know what love their children means

Teenager’s Mercedes Crashes onto Six-Wheeler in Miraculous Escape
16 year old and driving a Mercedes... I think I miss something, but I have a normal brain... In my country my parents bought me a second hand car when I passed for my drivers license, because it is common to learn to drive first when you are passed. Small mistakes but damages on the car is normal... Here apparently somebody with a high position can drive as a 16 year old a Mercedes.... Not even a drivers license needed and no parental guidance...Happily nobody injured of even death.... but who cares about that in Thailand a wai, a few thousand baht and live goes on

Thai Court Rules Traffic Fines Can't Block Vehicle Tax Renewal

Thai Court Rules Traffic Fines Can't Block Vehicle Tax Renewal
No wonder there are so may accidents... Thai laws are worthless... Don't pay fines and nothing will happen. Just continue living and in this case even worse the culprit get compensation for not paying fines and go to court ... a bonus and reward. And in the meantime again a blame for the RTP as they don't do their work properly... In my country if you don't pay your fine and at a checkpoint they see it that you have to pay you can pay first before you can drive on... and if don't pay within the normal period you get extra fines. NO court will agree with you if you can't pay your tax if you have fines to pay.. They will fine you even more with all extra costs for your account as it is your duty to pay in time...But this is Thailand the country with laws that are not enforced a RTP that is not working, and have no clue of laws and too lazy to lift their asses.. and a court that is not independent. Unless you are a foreigner..........than everything works very well and they will empty your wallet

Thailand's New Year Traffic Safety Plan Launched
In 1 week they can't change the driving behavior of the uneducated drivers and incompetent RTP who don't know what and how to fine or punish them... The RTP is too busy on their cellphones and mostly check your tax payment, instead of alcohol check , blacksmoke, licenseplates, lights, or overloaded cars... Besides it should be done 365 days a year instead of only at the holiday season

Illegal Foreign Tour Guides Exploit Thai Visa Loopholes
The result of outdated laws.... Groups of tourists will come and wnat to see and knows things about the attraction, however a tour guide is only allowed to do by a Thai... as so many other jobs.. And the Thais are not educated in English, Chinese Cantonese as Mandarin, of course some are good.. but all other languages are not possible....and are forbidden by the law.. If you wnat more visitors, they have to let the outdated law go and change ... enter the 21st century..

Teenager Ignored Warning,14-Year-Old Girl Dies, 2 Critically Injured
Alternative view... 3 on a motorcycle is not allowed... In Thailand nobody can slow down, only speeding, man, woman, children, no licenses are all common and lack of drivers education and enforcement of laws... As long as the RTP does not start doing something all this kind of accidents happen... So Alternative... start enforcing the laws....
