Clean drinking tap water in Thailand?! LMAO!

This is still the "Kingdom of Thailand", right?

Well, to be fair, they already have a well respected Heroin dealer in their ranks, and a soon to be new PM who is currently in prison suffering for the people.

So new taxes targeting Westerners world finances , Chinese manipulation (censorship) of Thai media, and now Chinese police patrolling Thai streets........Umm, I think Western society needs to write-off Thailand for the future, no more investments, and exodus of capital.

Ummm....NO! I do not feel safer knowing Chinese police are patrolling Thailand, you got to be out of your mind to even make this statement. I think that someone needs to check Thapanee and Srettha and make sure they are not communists sympathizers, the last thing Thailand needs is to turn into another Southeast Asian communist nation.

WTF?!?! Time to get out of this place! Welcome to communist Thailand, the lapdog of China.

Come on lapdog, bow to your masters, all Heil Emperor Xi.

I took drivers education during High School, and also took private educational services before getting my motor vehicle drivers license. I also took the MSF course for motorcycles before receiving my motorcycle license.

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.

Details: 1) Money will come from new taxes on poor and middle-class 2) You can only spend it at big corporations who are well-connected to politicians 3) Smile

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.
