Lots of rice and almost no protein or vegetables, and meats are usually low quality. It's the one thing I hate about Thai cooking done here in Thailand, at least back home in the states my wife cooked Thai dishes that were loaded with quality meats and vegetables. I could eat better Thai food in the US than I can here, it's pathetic, and should be embarrassing for Thailand.

This is Thailand, when Thai's see a bad situation unfolding in front of them on the road, they usually floor it! Plus, after re-watching the video, it seems this officers motorcycle skills were pretty poor, he laid the bike down on purpose before ever getting to the truck. In fact, there was no collision between the bike and the truck, it was the officer himself that collided with the truck. The accident was easily avoidable if he didn't panic, too much braking and laid the bike down. We practiced panic stops (avoidance skills) like crazy in the MSF course, just for these types of situations, they should probably send motorcycle officers to special courses as well. I actually loved that part of the course the most, the trainer would tell us to go either right or left just before reaching him, while standing in front of a set of cones (pretend stopped bus) at the last second while we are at speed, then we had to stop as fast as we could to the side of the fake bus.

He will then be as free and innocent as Saint Thamanat Prompow, or Emperor Thaksin.

If they were, more of these accidents wouldn't happen, but enforcement is non-existent, which is why this happens regularly. This time it happened to one of their own, maybe someone will do something about road rules/laws for a week or so.

Impound their motorbikes, first time 30 days, next time they are crushed.

The van is completely in the wrong, but I also don't like bicycles (or motorcycles) driving through pedestrian crossings, it just encourages accidents.

Keep dreaming, in the meantime, your children will suffer.

My wife was hit by one of these buses, it was a 3 lane U-turn area, the bus decided to not go around the outside edge lane, cutting right across all 3 lanes hitting my wife in the inside lane of the multi-lane U-turn. The bus driver swore up and down that he was in the right, it took a trip to the police station with dashcam evidence to which the police officer told the bus driver "You go to court, you will lose", before he finally backed down. So basically we have drivers who don't know how to drive, don't know the rules of the road, and are aggressive.....Really bad combination with such heavy and dangerous equipment!

The 166 Bus is the bus that travels my area regularly, and like most of these buses, consistently enters roundabouts without giving way to traffic in the roundabouts, traveling way above the speed limit, refusing to stop at STOP signs, and dangerously changing lanes without blinkers. The drivers of these buses should be regularly tested, and their managers should be out taking routine trips to watch their drivers as well. I worked for a distribution center in the US, our drivers were always being checked, managers would routinely follow our semi-trucks when we spotted them out driving, just to make sure their driving was following the laws and road rules. It also paid to be the best driver, as we reward them with their pick of runs, screw up and you lose your seniority.

More than likely will power Google and Microsoft servers when all is said and done, which is why they are even being mentioned.

Based on the total lack of safety practiced by the citizens of Thailand, this should be one of the last places on Earth that anyone should ever consider installing a nuclear reactor.

Well of course, that's an ideal place for a baby in a car, Thai's have now stooped to using their children as airbags.

The Chinese don't spend more money, they circulated the money within Chinese run businesses, where all the profits head back to mainland China. The Chinese don't give a damn about Thai's or anyone else, they consider Thai's to be nothing more than their serfs.

I wonder if they will make a special Farang line, it could look like a U-Turn where you pass through while depositing all your money and then head back home, no need to enter the country. It would be a win-win for the Thai and Chinese overlords.
