    A place where Thai police go to get away from it all.

    If you are driving at a speed commensurate with the conditions you should spot a parked bike; therefore I conclude 'negligence'.

    Meanwhile on the roads, mayhem continued unchecked.

    There's such piles all over the country because the foremen in charge are useless at Maths.
  5. mikebell
    It took only a 'short time'.

    Google maps has often led me astray in Pattaya.

    Were their parents not worried?

    It must be nearly payday. The above post highlights the practice of calling in the police to avoid paying a month's wage. The Thai employers are never arrested.

    There's a lot of 'undercover agents' in Pattaya police; so many they're totally invisible.

    When seat belts were first introduced in UK, they weren't universally applauded. Police action eventually won people over. IF Pattaya formed a police force that made motor cyclists wear helmets; stopped red-light runners; eradicated drunk driving, then the daily Road Kill (estimated at 48 per day across Thailand) would come down enormously. Even a minor shunt can bring the whole of central Pattaya to a standstill.

    after years of community headaches? Who awards these contracts? Why are there no punitive damages for failing to finish on time? Rhetorical questions, I know.

    Severe penalties for 'Disturbing the Police.'

    No it says an elderly <deleted>-faced Brit got battered by two Thais (who have since turned themselves in) when they were trying to help him.

    Did the thief have a key?

    She would have to be really vigilant to spot a Thai penis more than four metres away! There's not enough police in Pattaya to 'pour'; a single officer might 'pore'.

    This happens 10 times an hour as stupid selfish drivers bring traffic to a halt in the name of the Thai road motto; 'Me First'. They fail to see that by blocking right turns and/or straight-on drivers ALL exits will bring everything (including themselves) to a standstill. Painting yellow hatching on the road and forming a police force to arrest encroachers might work; a brain-transplant is another alternative.

    Got it in a nutshell. Police should make a difference but they do nothing until AFTER an incident.

    Sounds like a Geordie to me. 'Ah just wanna go home.'
  19. mikebell
    Agreed. My gripe is; this is limited to the size of the attachment which is quite small.
  20. mikebell
    So those CCTV cameras do have a use? Just a thought; why don't the police use them to stop speedsters and red light runners so as to bring down the daily road kill?

    As always 'Barn door locked after the horse has bolted.' There is a road near me abutting a fishing park. The rain has eroded a hollow under one lane. Soon this will collapse tumbling a vehicle 10 metres into the water. Depending on the death toll, the road will then get fixed.
  22. mikebell
    Is this allowed or is it a euphemism?

    I loved S1 and feel cheated with S2. The script-writers solved the problem of killing the most riveting character (in the last episode,) by the use of flashbacks. The result is like watching the 1st series again after a couple of years. There's very little new material.
  24. mikebell
    1st 2 episodes of 'Bad Sisters S2' out today.

    95 million says it all about Thai corruption. There are numerous planning meetings/feasibility studies/free lunches/travel expenses which all end in nothing with no accountability. Have we had the annual monorail one yet?
