God forbid the current Thai Government who openly state they want more tourists, that they make it easier, must have a visas, hike the prices of visiting tourist attractions, tout, entry or exit fee. Then complain not enough coming. 

Only here in the Land of Incompetence and stupidity coupled with open corruption  can you see this happening and they want tourists...Really where certainly NOT HERE unless there is a buck to be made 

Nice for a country which is split into almost TWO by the actions of one man to keep control illegally to talk about another country doing the same thing albeit a group rather than one man.

America when and if ever your country resumes normalacy you can talk , before that remember PEOPLE in GLASS houses should NOT THROW STONES !!!!!!!!!!

Thai fragile egos play out here, about time Thai males grew up 

So it would appear that normal minimum maintenance was carried out by a person who is either not qualified or a complete idiot. Loose bolts means only one thing, POOR MAINTENANCE . 

Being ex-police, there is no THIN LINE, you either are corrupt or not, fact is as the RTO hate criticism and refuse to apologise for anything they do wrong sadly it is percieved Corruption is endemic from the TOP down and recently Senior Police officers actions have proved that this seems to be true. It would takle a concert4d effort for ALL ranks to clean up the RTP . Mot in my lifetime sadly !

The other problem is that these drivers ae probably not socially aware that their actions are hurting the country and what is worse they7 do not care 

LET US think for a moment which country is a threat to Thailand, that is right NONE, So why do you need them ???????????

How many more this year before people realise there is a serious problem.

It's no good for the "told-you-so" brigade bemoaning a lack of insurance.

Thailand has a responsibility for the safety of visitors and there needs to be a system in place to deal with people with no i=or insufficient insurance - this WILL happen again and again.

Hospitals need to know they will get paid and then either the victims, their families or a fund needs to be brought in to finance this. THe first thing is to sae lives - not keep people in stasis until the money turns up.

Absolute B/Sit is the persons individual responsibility to ensure you are insured,not the host county. Tales of motorbicycle accidents are legendary and he problems of not being correctly insured. s with anything buyer beware, your life in in your hands. Failure could result in death  

With over 20 years as a Police OFFICER , any death in custody is a big problem and the fact that he was seriously drunk and flagged by the police at being at risk. THE RTP will have a problem hushing this one up, only sheer incompetence or plain stupidity would allow a drunk like this the time withoput supervision to be able to stand up do the necessary and then hang himself. The fact no medical supervision was done by a DOCTOR as to whether jail or a hospital bed would be better was done it seems. SO THE RTP will have awkward questions to answer.

The sad thing is we all know little will happen and another death will be recorded incorrectly 

What do the wonderful so intelligent people think will cure this, ....oh stop all burning ....great idea, however you need then to ENFORCE that not only in Thailand but, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia.  Fine Mother NATURE for not providing enough wind and rain to move the air around to lessen the impact. Enforcement as we all know is almost non-existent in all these countries 

when you have done that relocate Chiang Mai to a hilltop where winds clow all the time and the smog will  not sit as it does in the valley currently .

There simple .....!!!

Ego or as MR PM would say Thainess, and they say This are nice people, they are as long as their GO is not bruised 

AND YET Vietnam is introducing a 3 MONTH VISA ON ARRIVAL. oh well all off to Vietnam at least they speak English better
