The most important thing is to make travel and walking in Thailand safe first, guns are not even on the radar compared to road deaths that never needed to happen. Start with a proper police force, and enforce road and pedestrian safety, that would do more good for tourism than anything.

This is a joke, right? The Axis of Evil seated around the round table, they even have a convicted Heroin Dealer right out front.

Most people don't like to follow road rules and laws, but they also don't like paying fines, or losing their ride. Basically, enforcement is the answer, and with as many cops as are found in the USA (per 100,000) people, they should have more than enough police to enforce the rules, instead they sit in aircon booths and pretty much do nothing all day. In fact, I see them breaking the rules and laws themselves, which is the wrong message to send to the public. Thailand is in desperate need of a real police force, other Asian nations have been successful at road safety, why not Thailand? If they want to become a world-class destination for travel, safety for travelling families is a must, it's time to finally do something about it.

The Submarines would end up like the Aircraft Carrier (HTMS FloatingTrashheap), or the sunken corvette (HTMS BottomOfTheBay).

What kind of Bribery will he tolerate?

How do you explain Anutin and Thamanat Prompow?

Interesting perspective, take trips outside the country and spend money from outside the country as well, thus no tax on a remittance to Thailand.

I had a Farang on a big scooter pass me mid corner while I am turning right into a road, basically he almost didn't make it (car waiting to exit blocking him). He was wearing no helmet, and just dropped off his kids at my daughters school, again no helmets on the kids either. This tells me he never took a motorcycle safety course, because no one in their right mind would try to pass a car on the side with the blinker on and already in the turn, and no helmet is just pure stupidity, especially here in Thailand.

I am guessing the CP Group must be elated, or maybe behind the whole scheme in the first place. Anyone check the new PM and his fellow MP's financial records and recent stock purchases yet?

Yeah, this whole thread should probably be removed before the RTP shows up and hands everyone a 50,000 baht fine.

You would receive a warning on you current device that someone else is accessing your account, or trying.

I'm convinced that the typical Thai motorcycle rider has never taken a motorcycle safety course (or proper training), and probably has no idea how to actually drive a motorcycle, or for that matter understand the rules of the road, let alone safely. The helmet is only one device in the equation, they need to get serious about driver education and enforcement. I'm in awe at how they throw caution to the wind here, it's almost like they want to commit suicide.

This is the land of "onerous paperwork", "you chose poorly".

Going to grab a few different beers tomorrow, need my popcorn and beer, going to watch the "Equalizer 3" and maybe the new "Mission Impossible" movie on Amazon Prime this weekend.

I don't think I have tried the Cheers one yet, will give it a try.

The Dunkel and the Weizen got my attention, but there are pretty good imports already here, though they are expensive (Franziskaner and Weihenstephaner).

I would put them in the same category as Budweiser, swill.

Went back to the states last year, visited a local brewery (Treehouse Brewery), I would die for one of their Milk Stouts (Eternity) right now.....11.8% and the taste of Heaven!

Well, like I found when I was hit 3 separate times by Thai drivers, "farang, its his fault!".......though I ultimately ruined their day with 4k dashcams. LOL

What happens when someone else pretends to be you, setups the app on their phone, and you have no idea it ever happened?

Hey Watson, do you eat food to get fat? If you can't drink alcohol without getting drunk, you might wish to visit your local AA.

It probably doesn't matter, we live off my wife's Thai salary already, we are trying to keep from sending money if it's not needed....but I just want to cover anything big, like a new car, or another condo purchase (the wife likes buying multiple condos and renting them).

Historical to me is when I arrived in 2016 at 36 baht, it hovered around 34-36 for a while, then there was the 29 baht which was really bad.
