    All new luxury car orders should be completed before the end of January 2024.

    Do you want me to explain the idiom 'clutching at straws'?
  3. mikebell
    AKA as a further excuse to pay police overtime for playing on their phones whilst ignoring the myriad of traffic offences yards away.

    I thought it was clever and funny. 'Deputy Prime Minister Somsak Thepsuthin has suggested, on a television programme' for which he was paid?

    'Yingluck Patiently Awaits Homecoming In Thaksin’s Style' - there'll be a hospital bed free anytime soon where you can wait as a patient.

    If only it was named!

    The National motto of Thailand - 'Me First'. Check out the log-jams of traffic at EVERY Railway Road junction as braindead Thais move into a yard of free space without considering the consequences. During rush-hour (four till seven pm) every junction needs a traffic cop to help with the flow; YET they don't work after 3.30.

    The police will ONLY investigate incidents that make the mass media.

    The only time you see a cop when they are in celebration mood; here they are taking credit for Xmas to cover their inaction during the rest of the year. Drove over 300 kms during the holiday. I did not see ONE cop in Pattaya and Bangkok. I saw three ambulances though.

    'Government Destroys Record Narcotics Haul' allegedly. If a Cabinet minister can't tell Self-raising flour from heroin how do we know what is being burnt?

    Is corruption built in to the Thai concept? Is Nepotism part of the Thai model? Health & Safety? I thought not.

    'Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results'. Health and Safety will never catch on here. In nearly 20 years here I get déja vu several times a year; drought or flood; road repairs repeated; corruption scandals discovered (and sometimes prosecuted) and in this case ships sinking with unerring regularity. Do Thais never learn from their recent history?
  13. mikebell
    How many are cops?
  14. mikebell
    Lots of Thais are outright nasty people and there are more of them hence the gang fights; motor-cycle drivers 'protecting their patch; school v school (a teacher was shot dead last week); frequent beatings of tourists by 'Security' gangs. Take off your rose-coloured spectacles and view Thailand as it really is.

    Was your sense of humour surgically removed at birth or is it a genetic thing?
  16. mikebell
    Enables redlight runners/the helmetless to escape scrutiny by 'observant' cops glued to the CCTV screen!

    A picturesque shopping mall that charges for admission.
  18. mikebell
    If only that were true and courts could be relied on. Yet another area of Thai life riddled with corruption; is it genetic or learned behaviour?
  19. mikebell
    'severe weather warning' - I've had to put a T-shirt on for breakfast - 23 & rising.
  20. mikebell
    It happens a lot even when undeserved.
  21. mikebell
    'then SIX Thai men jump out of her car and attacks Russian .... Sounds more normal Thailand.......
  22. mikebell
    Weren't RTP issued with giant tongs to subdue giant drunks?
  23. mikebell
    Why not demolish all the illegal restaurants & other businesses on the beach side of the road & create an extra lane? (Joke alert!)
  24. mikebell
    Family debt to a loan shark?
  25. mikebell
    Fear not - RTP are on the case and will be carefully searching the list to ensure anonymity for any of their members.
