So you are for motorcycles driving the wrong way down the road?! Let us know if that changes when one hits you head-on in traffic, if you live to tell about it.

If they made it safer here to walk, cross the street, and drive....I would agree with you. But yes, as far as crime, much safer.

What they should do is arrest Prayut and Prawit for treason, then try and hang them on the National TV. Thus sending a message to the military, "you're not allowed to think for yourself".

Come to Bangkok my friend, Zebra crossings with Stop Signs and Redlights before them. Again, are you new here, or do you pretend to live here?

Which is why I am all for "profiling", if you want to use resources properly then by all means, use profiling.

....and one of the guys who profited most from the last coup.

People are suffering and dying due to people like him, he is one of the worst.

Glad you finally came out of the closet, I applaud you for showing your true Progressive Liberal colors 👏

Was that before or after he was seen dancing the night away at Hun Sen's birthday party?

Traffic lights and Stop signs do not stop the drivers, are you new here?! I can walk out in a Zebra crossing, be more than half way across, and they are still trying to run me over.. I'm literally stuck in the middle of the road with no way out...IT'S INSANE!

I am hoping they both out each other, with any luck, they both end up at the ICC and one day executed.

For the average IQ of countries in the ASEAN region, Singapore leads the way, followed by Cambodia with an average IQ of 99.75, securing it the 15th position worldwide. Myanmar is ranked 52nd globally with an average IQ of 91.18, while Vietnam holds the 60th spot with an average IQ of 89.5. Thailand is placed 64th globally with an average IQ of 88.87. https://www.nationthailand.com/world/40035684

Driving the wrong way should lead to an immediate impounding of vehicle, a 10,000 baht fine and license revocation. After retesting/relicensing, as well as paying the fine, only then should they receive their vehicle back, that's if the vehicle is properly registered and insured.

Can we start a GoFundMe?

I've said this in another post on this website, but the problem is cognitive skills, the average Thai is lacking in that department. With an average IQ in Thailand of 88, it's no wonder where the problem lies. Drivers are focused on wants not safety, like I want to go there....so I go there. When it comes to focusing on speed limits, lane discipline, blinkers, road safety, laws, rules, regulations, etc they end up overwhelmed, so they go into a form of brain fog. What we have is a bundle of zombies driving around, and they don't care about their own safety, let alone the safety of others. At least on motorcycles they mainly self-terminate, which according to Darwin's Theory of Evolution, should work out in the end.

Plus what do they mean by "Despite efforts", what "efforts"?

Married here too, with a daughter, I have never and will never "accept the driving style in this country". All I hope for is that my situation changes and I can get my family out this nightmare of a country. Nothing will change here, and the longer we stay here the more of a chance that one of these idiot Thai drivers kills one of us, our all of us.

I've kicked a few doors of idiots trying to hit me in a Zebra crossing, and smacked a few mirrors with a school bag, still no takers getting out of the car to confront me, the most I ever got was a curse comment out the window. I'm waiting though, I want to make the news for ripping a Thai persons head off their body with my bare hands in the middle of a Zebra crossing. Please God, make my wish come true! 🙏

Interesting, as they almost always post their thoughts on what caused a crash, but not for their own involved in an accident? The thin brown line?

I think it has to do with a lack of cognitive skills, thus the lower average IQ (88) found in Thailand. They can focus on where they want to go, but things like road rules, laws, signs, safe driving, etc are just noise their brains can't handle at the same time. In fact, they don't seem to be able to handle anything more than a few feet in front their faces/noses, evidenced by the many who seem to run into stationary objects (Large Trucks parked, Vehicles stopped at Red Lights, etc.), and the lack of mirrors on many motorcycles. Like they say, you can't fix stupid.

They would have done better to make an elevated tram around the Impact center area, thus encouraging local usage, those two stops aren't all that convenient. They basically prioritize the IMPACT arena, not the locals. The IMPACT Arena owners seem to care very little about locals in general, they seem to do nothing but create more traffic, in what supposed to be a housing estate (Muang Thong Thani). I live here, and I find myself increasingly at odds with whoever the morons are who are running this area, or should I say those who are collecting their brown envelopes while screwing the locals.

Do you hear yourself when you speak? What we need is choice to either pay into SS or have our 12.4% go into our own retirement accounts. Let it stand or fall on its own merits, or lack there of, no more forcing people to pay in against their will.

They can keep putting "their" money in if they wish, we'll leave it as an option for those with no financial sense, and those who can't be bothered to take control of their own retirement. The rest of us will exit the Ponzi scheme and invest our money responsibly and wisely.

Not sure what the big deal is, It's only Graft, everyone is doing it. Those who aren't are just jealous they didn't get their share, corruption is embraced in Thailand, it's not like it's a secret. All the way from the top position of government, all the way to poorest person in the village, corruption is a highly sought after profession.
