Yes, in Prachinburi. Happens here alot as these small tyre repair shops never seem to have a proper cage surrounding the tyre when it's being inflated.
Surprised the moron of a driver didn't say the curve reversed into the pickup.
Always an excuse hardly ever an admission of "yes I was going way too fast".
A vat hike to 15% would be a massive burden on Thailand's poorest. Those on a low income spend a higher proportion of their income on consumables so to have a sudden 8% hike would be savage.
"Residents are urging authorities to relocate stray dogs off the island...."
A typical make it somebody else's problem response rather than tackle the problem at source and cull the packs of wild dogs.
No forward facing passenger seats, no seat belts, no passenger safety cell......same old same old. Whilst this indifference to kids overall safety whilst travelling to and from school continues then this type incident will never stop.
Last year we complained that we had not received any mail for nearly 8 months. Two days later we had a delivery of all the missing mail. Here in the village the Thai Post service is absolutely dreadful and seems to be staffed by a lazy bunch of thieves.
"The victim was rushed to Khao Chakan Hospital and subsequently transferred to Somdej Phra Yuparaj Sa Kaeo Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries around 15:00 later on November 28."
<deleted> me this is the farce that just keeps giving. Nearly eight years of running and now it's announced that a 'viability study' hasn't even been completed yet. Worthless clowns every one of them.
"Boon is alleged to have forged his former daughter-in-law’s signature to secure a loan, resulting in damages estimated at 7.5 billion baht."
With such massive sums involved you'd expect the lender to at least ask to see the person who's signature was on the form.
From the pic it looks as though he's balancing on the grey water pipe. If he did have a few drinks, yes speculating I know, then he may have thought if some fun to walk the length of the pipe.
Given that it is obvious Taksin enjoys the support of somebody of way higher standing than anyone else the decision of the AG is entirely understandable. I expect the Constitutional Court will come to a similar judgment.
Banks have crazy lending criteria.
Wifey and I bought a car recently. Wanted a loan as I can get better interest on my capital as the loan rate. Turned down despite income of nearly 100k per month so paid cash.
Wifeys friend was granted a loan for a new pickup. Repayments 7k per month with an income of 9k per month. Madness. Friends mum is now scrabbling around every month borrowing money to pay the loan for the family car.
Maybe you can tell my Thai wife why you're in favour of lax law enforcement on Thai roads. Her brother was helping at the scene of an accident when he was killed by a speeding drunk driver. Clung on to life for a week in ICU before succumbing to horrific injuries. His mother attempted suicide whilst grieving for her dead son.
