I don't think money comes into it with helmets. Some are too poor to afford one but the overwhelming majority don't wear them because they're too lazy or vain to do so. As for skin colour, the west is obsessed with tanned skin but Asia is the opposite. People always want what they don't have.

Won't matter to those in power. They get their palms greased so the local economy can go whistle as far as the elite are concerned. Shouldn't blame the Chinese. If the zero-caring elite allow them to do it why blame China? Like putting a steak on the floor and kicking the dog for taking it. Always someone else's fault

Absolutely nailed it. There is no point trying to convert the stupid and selfish. How many years does this go on and yet the native adults still WON'T change. You're preaching to those that know the dangers yet CHOOSE to drive like idiots. You can take horses to water and all that, but in this case swap the horse for a cow looking creature whose name we cannot mention.... Pointless indeed. They'd be better off saying....2024 X amount dead. 2025 how many will die YOU DECIDE! Get on with it.

Another example of big, brave native males. I wonder if he needed 8 of his mates plus some local taxi drivers to defeat the mighty puppy.

Priceless ...so foreigners are drunks, drugged up and watching prostitutes? Thais don't get drunk and act like idiots...no...no...noooooo Thais don't take drugs....no...no...nooo Prostituting....prostitution....here???? Nooooooooo.....only foreigners are into that....just ask the inspection team on Walking Street. Go sit in any predominantly Thai town during Songkran and see who will be peed up, fighting, drink driving and causing havoc. Check the names of those killed up and down the country due to drunk and disorderly behaviour and see how many are non-Thai. What a clueless post.

There is no limit.

Minimal brains is exaggerated. They have no brain cells.

Fantastic red cross hospital. Puts the greedy private ones to shame.

What charming creatures this poor lad is born into. Mum leaves a 1 year old in the capable hands of a 56 year old drug addict who obviously beats the baby regularly. Take him and let a deserving family adopt him. Typical scum

Glad he's gone. One less to worry about. If every drunk driver killed just themself I'd have no issues.

I agree. The responsibility should be taken on by the government. This happens all the time yet nothing changes. The govt should be investing in teaching kids how to swim, cycle safely etc yet they do what they always do....sweet nothing. Nothing changes, nor will it. The reality is, despite all the romantics who make excuses for crap parenting, hundreds of children die needlessly here all the time. I cringe seeing kids on motorbikes without helmets yet it's a frequent site here. Kids not counted off of school buses. I'm not saying this lad's parents are to blame but there are a hell of a lot of child fatalities that could be prevented with better parental care. After the event comes the tears, excuses and drama yet in reality....there is usually a human to blame. Manslaughter should be imposed on these holes who are too lazy to take proper care of children. Poor little lad. He deserved better.

Don't worry...they found a wild tiger and a new born cub elsewhere. See how serious they are about conservation soon. Sick son of a b.

The worst possible thing to happen to these tigers is to be seen by humans at all. Let's hope they don't exploit them to fill the greedy b's pockets as they did with the pigmy hippo thing.

Typical Thai view on this. Outrage at killing stray dogs, but what do they do to help these animals? The overwhelming majority do NOTHING. When they want a dog they buy overpriced pedigrees. If they care so much why are there any strays at all? These dogs act feral, wild because they are and that's all they know. What excuse do the natives have? This is a country where animal cruelty and human rights abuses are rife.

What part of the UK do you live in? Less emergency services there than in THAILAND? Think you need to back that up with hard facts. Why do people hear appalling stories coming from Thailand and feel the need to compare it to other countries? This has nothing to do with the UK. There was a fire in Kalasin about 2 years back. It was right in the middle of the town yet everyone inside died before they arrived. The response time was over 30 minutes.

There's so many articles like these and I've tried most linked things. Creating a welcoming room definitely is crucial. Melonatin works for very mild cases but it doesn't send you to sleep. In fact, too many of these 'possible aids' actually make it worse as you're waiting for them to kick in which they don't. No mention of the cause of sleeplessness either? If you're suffering mentally and worrying about something then none of the above will help. Only booze or sleeping pills will knock you out and both are dangerous. No mention of becoming obsessed with sleeping either. The best way to get off to sleep is to not think about it. This is the hardest part and easier said than done I've been fighting borderline insomnia for 25 years and the only conclusion I can draw is that every case is different. There is no fix fits all. For me, no caffeine after 2 pm. Eat at least 2 hours before bedtime. Cool, dark room with white noise like a fan. No phones or clocks anywhere in your room. Sleep in as little clothing as possible. The fun part... cannabis definitely works. Get the right strain and blend and not only will you sleep but you'll soon lose that anxiety which comes with bedtime. Failing that, pull a right boring bird who talks shi*e for hours about her bad luck and money troubles or list of men who've all treated her badly and you'll sleep like a pro. Millions here to choose from.

Money...money...money....they all praise the one who introduced it here yet it's probably the biggest curse to this land. I've never met people so obsessed by something they are so awful at handling. The hand out all the time and go nuts when it's refused. Parasitic scum.

10 kids, not 1 or 2 but TEN! I've never joined 10 mates in beating someone up. This story is missing why she got a good hiding. It mentions a little but not the exact words. Maybe she got her commuppance.

Some people are too highly strung. 23 years old and on his holidays. Hardly crime of the century is it. He could have robbed the entire shop but settled for personal consumption. The weed shop should be maximising the publicity. Our gear is so good that people break in to get at it.

Those 3 wheeled things are equally as dangerous as speeding vehicles. They pull out, stop, double park, drive in any direction they choose to and don't give a toss about anybody else. They brought it on themselves. No sympathy at all.

Agreed entirely. The only thing I'd question is why a 50 year old man who drives for a living can't decide for himself to obey rules, police or no police. There are always people making excuses or comparisons for these scumbags. I wouldn't lose sleep if one of them was made an example of and never saw the light of day again.

I went to the local police station who said it needs reporting to the province I bought it in and by the registered owner. I asked the registered owner to report it to the PS in that province which he kindly did. So, I have the police report from there but I'm certain only the registered owner can apply for re-registration. I really don't see why I can't get this done in any province here and they order the plates but there you go.

I don't in the long term, I just want to put it on until the new one arrives.

Afternoon I have the police report for my lost plate and I'll order the replacement in the next few weeks. I have to wait around 2 months for a replacement so I'd like to put a temporary plate in until the new one arrives. Is there anywhere who make up a temporary copy to use in this time? Thanks

It's registered in Roiet. So I can't apply to get a replacement from Chonburi?
