Well that's a step in the right direction.

Well Saturday traffic was snarled up beyond belief.

500 metres from my house. I take it there were no police about at that time and on a day with a 'y' in its name.

The final nail in Move Forward's coffin.

Does she work for TAT? She seems to have the right mathematical skills and the compulsory vivid imagination.

Thailand's standing is distorted by having lots of its wealth in the hands of a dozen wealthy families + lots of Generals; whilst a huge proportion of the populace have next to nothing.

I answered a question asked by a polite member of this forum about the number of pension freezing nations (by Googling). Could you explain the differences between apples and oranges?

Will the police show their faces again?

122 different­ nations around the world – many of them Commonwealth countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa – the state pension entitlement is frozen at the point of departure.

Junkets for the Unelected Election Thieves.

Taxing pensions? Owning houses? Once they have driven the Brits out, who will be next?

I hate my car windows being smeared with paste as eventually visibility is down to almost nil. Maybe a factor in the annual road kill figures?

Damn! I've got 'Visa' renewal coming up next week.

Didn't the Red Bull brat get several extensions before emigration?

Thanks for the link. I checked where MAN(chester) appeared. Needless to say it did not appear in the top 100!

The last three dealings with Thai Post: 1 I sent a very important letter (about my pensions); paid a lady; got sticker; noted the place closed down three days after; letter never arrived. 2 Awaited Car Insurance policy which had to be 'signed' for. Tracking number showed the letter never moved for over six days; then two more days. Insurance agent phoned a number of times on my behalf. It took 14 days to travel 140 kilometres = 10 kms a day which I could probably manage on foot even at my age. It eventually appeared, quietly dropped in my mail box; unsigned for after days of not daring to go shopping. 3 Previous year the delivery lady 'lost' the the packaged policy and I went a year with only a downloaded copy.

They didn't go to great lengths to hide what they were producing. No wonder the local Plod managed a collar.

Why the unpleasantness about a seemingly innocent expression of surprise? I am sure there are many who were unaware of this hazard. The rest of your post is informative.

Death over a trivial offence.

My daughter has an EV in UK. It causes her considerable headaches when planning a journey of even middling distances. Thailand's vast size would surely militate against relying on battery power alone?

Beware of Geeks bearing gifts.

They are too busy drawing their overtime by the roadside monitoring traffic on the 7 Dangerous Days. The above photo is a staged op; I spent 5 diabolical hours on Monday in central Pattaya and did not see ONE cop.

What a novel idea! Perhaps they could use this approach on the roads soon?

I commend this link which goes further than the OP. My grandson vapes and was recently hospitalised with racing pulse rate and panic attacks.

Agreed. The pre-printed winning tickets have already been sold to those-in-the-know. The occasional Somchai is allowed to win 'pour encourager les autres.'
