And people wonder why the sipping rules aren't relaxed when people don't even observe the stricter rules. Som naa na

PROFITS ... ???? IMHO

Yea, in a few days, the pandemic will be over ... ????????

There is actually a reason for that non payment. The 1000 baht is only paid, after the fine is paid. Thais simply ignore mailed traffic fines, and don't pay, as there is not repercussion for non payment. After 2 yrs of non payment, the citation is null & void. That's why at check points on the highway / roadway, there is always a collection table. Which you can pay on the spot, or at the local PoPo station, in which case they hold your license until paid. Then you simple decide if the fine is worth the hassle of simply getting a new license, and usually not, so you pay. https://thethaiger.com/news/bangkok/11-million-traffic-tickets-ignored-and-unpaid

Be nice if I could even get through to set up a Soc Sec acct. Failed and or ignored numerous times, and Manila can't help w/ online registration. I tried online and long distance calling. What a joke. Actually don't need it now, but would be nice to access info from.

He states it's OK, and yet, Thailand stopped using it. Actually it's the only one I would use, as made the old fashion way, and not mRNA.

Be grateful they left, and don't demand compensation from you. If you refuse to pay, then your vehicle is held until settled in court. If I hit or someone hits me, I pray they leave the scene.

Once again, destroying the domestic tourism market, which kept places alive the past 18 months, for the sake of int'l tourist, or lack of, which won't contribute much. Who pays 100 baht for the privilege of walking on KSR, let along the risk of testing positive.

How does that protect you, when the person next to you on the flight or taxi ride to hotel tests positive, and you are whisked away for your overpriced, 2 week, unnecessary private hospital stay ? That your insurance may, or may not cover the expense of.

So the govt give themselves a 14.5% inflation rate to Medicare, but if you're Soc Sec you only 5.9% Average gas price Jan 2021 ... $2.50 Average gas Price Now 2021... $3.75 ... up 50% and inflation based Soc Sec COLA up 5.9% ... ????

Not guilty, as it was self defense. Obvious from the testimony given.

I made that mistake, they were c r a p, and don't think I even got 20k kms out of them.

1+ million kms per pack ... ????

Tesla Model 3 becomes best-selling vehicle (not just electric) in Europe - Oct. 25th 2021 https://electrek.co/2021/10/25/tesla-model-3-becomes-best-selling-vehicle-europe/

For short term tourist who visit the touristy areas that relied on int'l tourist, yes, have to agree. For others, hanging out for a month or more, and explore non int'l tourist dependent area, it's lovely and a great to time to visit. Almost makes jumping through the hoops worth it. For me, when living in USA, I wouldn't have chose Thailand for a holiday on it's best day, in the best of times, for a 2 week holiday, as would take 3-5 days just to get to the islands from E. coast, along with a few 1000 $$$. Better time & money spent in the Americas.

Last GRAB I rode in was a Fortuner, quite the surprise, and damn nice vehicle. GRABs are privately owned, taxis included, if on the system, so anything can show up. All so far have be better than standard taxi. I've had a few taxi rides in the Innovas, quite the upgrade from the old or even new Corollas.

It's a start, and maybe after couple years, they'll actually make a difference. Sadly public trans vehicles are a big part of the problem. Helmet enforcement does work, during the day when enforced. When I lived in Udon Thani area, go into town, and daytime, it was 90 vs 10% helmets worn. After 1st shift, and PoPo done for the day, it was 10 vs 90% helmets off ... ????

Only when used against the weak minded ... sadly, more than a few of them about. Like 99% of the world population, or we wouldn't be in the mess we are. What ever happen to 'free thinking' ???

The 3 wheelers he was looking at doesn't have that range, and you wouldn't want to do 180 kms @ 25-40 kph. Around the village, no prob.

oops????

Because people are still arriving infected. During initial Sandbox, people tested positive 1st test, 2nd test, and a few not until 3rd test. As long as that happens, and the paranoia of infected people arriving continues, the testing will be never ending.

Depends on attitude of local PoPo on unregistered EVs, as few are street legal, allowing registration. My driving habits same as yours locally, though dog instead of kid and basically 2 trips, total 15 kms each. Unless out with the wife for short hop. Have the SUV for out & about. So I went with E-scooter, registered and one of, if not only one allowed to be, and dealer did all that paperwork. Also the best value out there, that I found in my research. Good warranty, though untested, but savings over ICE cost, will actually pay for itself before the warranty expires, since putting on at least 30 kms a day. Have different options and price points for their scooters. Not sure about their 3 wheelers, as didn't interest me. Can also do the usual, and add a side cart, if needing more than a rear seat. 3 versions of motor / batteries; 1000w, 2000w, 3000w, and price difference within the 1k & 2k motors simply for styling, w/macho at a premium???? and specs basically the same. Only 1 option for 3000w motor, and larger battery / distance. https://decogreenenergy.com/index.php/th/product-deco/electric-motorcycles

Actually the crackdown has been never ending since I've been here. About 5 yrs ago, they started the 'pay for photo' of violators thingy as an incentive for help. Only difference I see with current news-blip is a contest offered with 20k prize. More just a public cry for help, as they simple don't have the manpower to enforce the law.
