My car doesn't move until everyone has their seatbelt on, its a requirement in my car, no exceptions. My wife and daughter know the drill, and pretty much embrace the safety aspect, so not much of an issue in our household.

Budget? You mean food to the troughs? I can see the elated MP's and their many mia-noi's rejoicing already. 🐷🐖

I guess I grew in a different generation than you did.

Yup, when I think of "innocence", the first thing that comes to mind is Thaksin Shinawatra.

He's talking about an off-road dirt bike, not a road bike. But I do see people driving dirtbikes here on the road, obviously without a license plate, since they aren't legal for road use.

China, the gift that keeps on giving.

The Land of the Lawless, especially in the City of Sin.

Or fill their stomachs with concrete and throw them in rivers.

What exactly were a 14 and 13 year old doing out at almost 11pm at night on a motorcycle? Also, who let them drive illegally on their motorcycle?

Yet, motorcycles daily flying down sidewalks and through Zebra crossings with pedestrians on/in them, is not alarming?

With the right amount of money given to the RTP benevolence fund, anyone can walk away 😉

If someone can buy their way into a 5-Star police Hospital, then you shouldn't be surprised when others buy their freedom too, corruption in Thailand is known around the World. Welcome to the 3rd World!

Entire lane blocked all the way down, and you can see the red and white on the Kerb in the photo. You can also tell by the damage that the bike and car hit as a sideswipe motion, the bike hit the back door, then the front door, then the mirror.

The problem is the illegally parked cars on the side of the road (notice the red and white curb?), try pulling out in the first lane, it doesn't exist.

I'm willing to bet it's a combination of things, car changing lanes maybe a little too quickly (or maybe not), and as usual....a biker gunning it to scoot past the car he sees changing lanes. I lost count of how many bikers see my blinker on, with me more than 3/4's of the way into the other lane, then they punch it to fly by the shrinking lane at Mach 1 speeds.....Suicidal! Here's a hint to bikers, don't pass a car on the side with the blinker on, and If you choose/must pass? Pass on the side without the blinker....DUH!

Just make sure you have a dashcam, preferably front and back. The law states they can't overtake you from the left, especially at a junction. The worst is when I get overtaken by motorcycles over a solid yellow line, right before a crosswalk (Zebra Crossing) when pedestrian (mainly children) are crossing.....super dangerous and happens every day near my daughters school......Police? They couldn't care less. Thailand and it's people should be ashamed at this blatant disregard for safety, especially around children.

Sin City welcomes the deluge of sin seekers, hopefully the RTP is up to the task of policing the masses of sinners.

I say leave it up to the medical community to decide the issue, not politicians or uneducated/undereducated citizens.

Yup, and even with restrictions, Somchai will still trade his 10,000 baht to the family next door, who will gladly buy him beer/etc for a fee.

3 months after they hand out the 10,000 baht, the masses will be back to begging for more, and the money will have done nothing but line the pockets of the rich (CP Group). Nothing more than vote buying, which is supposed to be illegal.

Pattaya is known around the world as a place of sin, what the heck are they smoking.

He's been elevated to Sainthood now, it's where coup leaders go.

Welcome to the "ignore" list 😉

Uhunh....

I'll bet anything that most of this money ends up in the pockets of the CP group.
