Are there not 100's of these buses sat in Malaysia or Singapore or the like for decades........reject over a big argument about taxes........and whether they were classed as made in Thailand?
Funerals, weddings, praying for the village (whatever that means), 'special days'......the list goes on and on.
There are three things that Thais like more than food and drink..... burning stuff, modified exhaust pipes and PA systems.
I bet the school was going full blast day after day on their PA system.....it would not have just been the noise from a few kids that drove this guy over the edge.
Read a number of these cases recently.....dumb as rocks......
........turn the music down or even better, off...........Don't annoy the locals and make sure you pay the right amounts to the right people.
Job done.
There seems to be some confusion here......... power is a measure of the rate at which energy transfers....and is measured in Watts or, if the numbers are big kilowatts
The amount of energy transferred is measured in Joules, or if the numbers are big kilowatt-hours.
Kilowatts = Power
Kilowatt-hours = Energy
Appleogies if I am teaching anyone to suck eggs.
There is/are? no end of kids.......12 to 15......careering around on motorbikes (modified exhausts obvs) all day long where we live......never in school.
I asked the wife what happens when they don't turn up at school......she shrugs and says nothing happens.
Absolutely horrific...............but we have all be so, so close to being in the same situation......lorry drivers simply don't give a flying........driving too fast in bad weather and too close to the vehicle in front.
But this is purely a legalistic matter......and I am pretty sure the term 'half Thai' has no meaning in law.......so they must be entitled to hold land as a Thai national.
I fail to understand the term half-Thai.
You are either a Thai national or you are not?
Even if they hold dual nationalities they are still Thai and not half-Thai.
Not drugs then, or alcohol, or prostitution, or illegal guns, or gangs, or a lack of education, or atrocious AQ damaging their health, or the second highest death rate on the roads, or or or or .......but having a flutter!!!!!
