  1. With CCTV this must be the easiest sin to eradicate yet RTP just bumble along getting OT payments for not very much during the holidays and no OT payments for doing the same during the rest of the year.
  2. It's the word 'randomly' that makes me laugh. AKA 'targeted for late/non-payment of protection money.'
  3. 1st one of 30 a day for 7 days; then it's back to normal.
  4. Same as prostitution in Pattaya.
  5. Announced this morning in BP; 'the haze figures (AKA carcinogenic air) has fallen to just TREBLE the safe limit!'
  6. Baden-Powell would be turning in his grave. In 18 years as an ex-pat here, I read the same stories annually. Thais are not proactive and act only when confronted by a problem. Then because they have the memory of a goldfish they forget the problem till next year.
  7. TATism. Blind Optimism. Rose coloured spectacles. Announcements made by the Haves whilst ignoring the plight of the Have-nots.
  8. Thank you. Got it now.
  9. Or one that is not happy with its present one.
  10. I got the 90s version & had a little snigger at some of the lines.
  11. I can only find the book on TPB.
  12. You cannot educate pork. U-turns add many kilometres of wasted fuel & time to even a short journey; it's far easier to drive the wrong way & risk disfigurement.
  13. Wild boars do not have owners only salivating hungry poor people.
  14. They are randomly testing every third foreign driver.
  15. Does this mean they will 'Serve and Protect' during the holiday? If so it will make a change from the rest of the year.
  16. They have thousands of checkpoints which serve only to rack up the overtime payments whilst the cops pay no attention to the roads just like every other day of the year.
  17. His way does not include sticking to the rules. He has no regrets; he has not planned each charted course; nor is he one who kneels.
  18. I called them builders - sorry if you misunderstood.
  19. Care to elaborate? The chances of people dying in road accidents is significantly reduced by lower speeds.
  20. From whom? The local authorities like the council? The police? The builders? Amusing Thailand where the natives live in fear.
  21. The single most usual cause of road deaths is speeding. This should be easily eradicated by CCTV and a police force.
  22. Come to Thailand to inhale the world's most carcinogenic air; experience the risk of trying to use a pedestrian crossing; get treated by doctors who view a sick person as a blank cheque.
  23. Does this app include the thousands of miles of roadside hedges AKA urinals?
