So no dictionary; one just writes the mispelled attempt & Google corrects it?

Which dictionary do you use to spell Thai words transliterated into English? Serious question.

It never says 'acting on good police work': because there never is any!

More money than sense.

Luk Kreung?

Another statistic to add to RTP's laissez-faire attitude to speeding.

He wants to be noticed.

I go South towards Sattahip. Lots of huge pipes by the side of the road. Most will be used but the rest will moulder away.

AKA non-existent. I see the Railway road is getting its annual make-over again.

Many of the victims were at the camp because of poor parenting in the 1st place.

This is to convert them into Look-at-Me bikes. It has a two-fold result; it gives poorer fuel consumption; it alerts any cop within two square kilometres. Unfortunately deafness is a prime quality to enter RTP.

I am about to make my 3 times a year journey to Bangkok. During my time I have seen ONE police car actively working to dissuade lawbreakers. I have seen hundreds of police cars escorting VIP convoys at high speed. On every journey I observe scores of dangerous drivers, speeding & weaving from lane to lane; tail-gating. Thailand's appalling daily road kill is the direct result of ineffectual policing.

Seemingly not well-known enough by the police.

It's called humour or satire; often used to poke FUN at problems in an effort to improve things.

There's a lovely series called 'No Body Wants This'; a rom-com with two sympathetic leads + a goodly number of well drawn support characters. I'm a sucker for Jewish humour anyway. There's a new take on Wokism. 'Women in Blue' is set in 1951 when there was no woke. It describes the 1st female police recruits and sets them in a chauvinistic workplace. (A further bonus for me is subtitles so I miss none of the dialogue.)

There are lots in RTP.

Lots of doctors in hospitals with real diplomas which equate to a GCE 'C' grade in Biology held by many 16 year olds in UK.

There's an exit on 2nd Rd but its imposing entrance is definitely on Tai.

Oz Rules; Brits take silver.

It also captures the million times road users break the law endangering themselves and others every day. Footage is ONLY consulted post-mortem! Speed kills and should be the easiest sin to eradicate given the battery of cameras at the BIB's disposal.

It's been going on for years & it's not just bikes but cars as well; not just Laos but Cambodia too.

Me too. I am now late; I thought I'd brought everything they could possibly ask for. For proof of address I gave them a copy of my Car insurance Certificate complete with seal/my name/address. This was sufficient last year; not so this year; likewise my driving licence which has my address on the back. They are insisting on my rental agreement which is a mere Word doc, easily mocked up by anyone who can use the Internet. Pattaya Immigration was swamped yesterday; not looking forward to today's battle.

She is a slow learner, like most dog owners here.

Only Hovis allowed?

Like many Thai hi-sos who appeal & appeal until they are dead. At 82 he might not need more than a couple.
