    There is no point in getting hot and bothered about this topic. It's a storm in a teacup. In Vietnam 99% of motor-bikers wear helmets. In Thailand, police enforce the law for a couple of days (outside their stations) then retire to the comfort of their A/C offices. Then the daily slaughter on the roads goes on.

    Once High season is over, long-term expats are the life blood of Pattaya (Thailand?). Better treatment by Immigration and police would help sustain them. Tourism in Vietnam is on the increase whilst Thailand introduces TDAC and cuts visa times. KISS = Keep It Simple, Stupid.

    I wish I had a baht for the number of times this word is used to explain wrongdoing by Thai companies/politicians/police/monks/hi-sos/army generals....

    You're absolutely right. I taught English for 39 years. I was so smug about my word play that I got them the wrong way round.

    Which are only consulted AFTER an event. How can Pattaya police be judged as successful?

    Some go into the profession precisely because they are sadistic bullies. The trick is to discover it, sack them and let the law take its course. This doesn't happen because many principles have no principals.

    For this, you 1st need real police - visible ones.

    Anyone who drives in that condition has no conscience.

    PS - Well done to Sattahip police.

    In that order. Suspect the mother would only benefit if he won the jackpot.

    Who will benefit from confiscating these cars? My bet will be on the future drivers wearing brown.

    As always, a problem identified and nothing done to fix it until AFTER an event (which could easily have been fatal.) Nothing will be done to identify those responsible for their inactivity. If TAT ever read the accounts of such ignorance, they might identify why tourism numbers are dwindling.

    shamed into being by the farangs giving out free helmets the other day whilst the inactive police stood by, grinning at the foolishness of the exercise. (Remember the fat cop in the video?)

    Charge him/her with reckless endangerment then give the driver the sack.

    A merciful release for all concerned.
