At least he had a good reason to overstay. 😉 Caught in the honey trap

What a terrible loser!

He was chasing a dangerous criminal and didn’t want to lose him.

I guess he lost him, but true to his cause. A medal is in order. 😂

Ok, noted! Always look out for falling road rollers when doing something outside.

suggesting that those who drive under the influence demonstrate a blatant disregard for public safety, warranting such stringent measures.

I don´t understand! What stringent measures? All developed countries stop and arrest drunk drivers and impound their cars. It´s only Thailand and a few other countries that let off with a fine and let a drunk driver on his way home in/on the same vehicle.

And that comment, comes from Renowned legal academic Pokpong Srisanit from Thammasat University. There is no end to the the low level of the brain trust.

Can you please bring up 5 more such cases? If you can´t, then just maybe you can sit down and think about why. The answer is simple.

Well to be fair, at least he stopped at the red light.

Damn right! He is more law-abiding than 30% of the Thai drivers.

Stalin wasn't as bad as Hitler..yeah right, what a pathetic observation you make

If you want to make such comparison, that´s ok with me. In that case we still comes down to where the laws are most important to enforce.

Is that a good mc-rider making illegal stunts on the road without hurting somebody, or is it the vast amount of drunk drivers that kill people every day?

Is it the happy foreigner feeding the monkey´s or is it the high level of domestic violence in Thailand?

Is it the foreigners smoking some ganja on their bungalow patio on an island far out in the ocean or is it all the scams and fakes going on in Thailand?

I agree 100% with that all should, and must, be enforced, but they have a serious problem enforcing anything on a regular basis in this country. Therefore, I suggest they start to focus on the most important parts to enforce instead. So, that means if you say that Hitler was more bad than Stalin, then I would go with initial enforcement of the law against Hitler. 😉

I've used shipping before where the tracking only works as far as the origin country, that's why I'm asking.

Ok, Now I got to know something new. I have also shipped a lot of stuff during my days from surely 20-30 different countries, but never ever heard of a tracking system that only work inside the sending country. It defies all logic as well as purpose with the tracking number.

I don’t know if I will play again in Thailand. It is too hot to enjoy.

Today I am feeling sunburned, hungover and heat stroked. 

Malcolm, that´s just because you hesitated and opened this topic on the forum, instead of banging directly. 😉 

So they raise alarm over what? That their own government and country have turned their back on them and tourism?

Critics have also questioned the apparent lack of police response, tagging law enforcement in posts and urging authorities to identify and prosecute the individual before any harm is done.

I assume that must be Thai people. What about all Thais driving drunk, have total lack of understanding about traffic or just drive like idiots on the roads on a daily basis? What they see here, is a seasoned and professional MC rider, and then they talk about danger! Seriously!?

Father of the Month.

And the madness continues. I can only say Top Charoen

I think a lot of ex-pats come here and they start counting in Thai baht. I find it helpful sometimes to count in dollars, if the condo was charging me $6 to replace a light bulb, I would consider that a bargain. Especially considering the fact that more than half of that cost is the bulb itself. 

Yeah, that´s the big problem here. Too many stay a couple of years, and suddenly fall in to the Thai baht trap. Everything becomes expensive as the numbers sounds soo high. The complaining starts, and the money counting, getting scared if have enough to stay and live. It´s actually a very sad story. Like 6 USD as you say, and take away 3. Then you have the terrible price of a small chang beer out one night. Laughable!

You are perfectly right in that reply. Just a question about the specifics of some.

Nah, not smart-ass. Only instinct told me that, actually. Didn´t even have to think.

But, thank you. It´s nice to know you loved it and thought it was awesome.

Isn't it obvious? He collected good Karma through his many previous lives. He was a good father, a good husband and a good person.

 

So Karma spared him.

Hey! That´s totally logical. Can´t be more obvious!

Of course it does. That´s the whole idea with tracking.

Is it legal under the laws of the kurusapha to make foreign  teachers teach their colleagues?

I believe it will be, if you are not forced to work overtime at the same time.

About the same time the first car arrived in Thailand.

I am trying to make this short, something I have never experienced.

I went on a trip up north to Chiang Mai and Lampang. Found a good restaurant. 

So I thought, "Let's have dinner." Being hungry after a long drive, I asked for a menu card, only to be told there was none. I asked politely, "How can I know what to order?"

The answer was "You just have to log on to our website and order,, not having my smartphone

with me, still in my luggage. Why can't they have just a single menu card for people without smartphones ? I noticed a few 

people left as well. I am not here complaining, but I guess they could have at least one single one 

for people without smartphones. Rant over.

Not really new at all. Has been in some places for a couple of years.

If you can drive, don´t do it in Thailand at the age of 21.
