He is being logical, I think?

Wife family are trying to <deleted>%$ him over, not uncommon here.

Take off in the pick up & dont look back.

Grab the gold on your way out the door.

your in it now.

Contact the General, he can fix anything.

Troll.

Firstly, of course, RIP the victims concerned.

If you read the story, its a bit contradictory. The woman who was asleep suggested that the driver may have been going faster to make up time, but she was asleep so really we don't know.

The policeman who said that the driver may have been sleepy while driving fast was not stating a fact, only a theory.

The fact is, from the story as its been presented, we just do know know what happened, so it's not really fair at this stage to be blaming the driver.

Accidents like this do happen in other countries too, I totally agree that road safety is an issue here but I think we also have to also understand that not every driver is an idiot and not every crash is the fault of the driver.

To say the driver would have run away if not dead is also very stupid, not all drivers run away.

Accidents like this are extremely rare in Australia. Can't remember when l read about the last passenger bus crash in Aust.

Yes I agree but in OZ we have driver education, defensive driving courses, road rules & laws.

Here in Thailand we have get out of my way because its me,me,me,me

I see the stupidity on Thai roads every day and it scares the sh!t out of me.

Do they own the beach again.

Another quality tourist in Pattaya.

So sad, more carnage for the Thai roads.

The things you can learn on TV,

In 2002 I checked on importing powered milk for a Thai client.

He was going to ship it trough to Laos

The Import duty @ Thai port was 550% to safe guard the Thai dairy industry

If the container seal was not broken when it crossed into Laos no duty would be charge

in Thailand. this information was from the Australian milk board.

Im not sure about now.

The Thai economy must head UP as they are already at the bottom !

Your joking right,

You aint seen nothing yet

Bahtsmart,

I have never exchanged emails with you, except when I have done a transfer Bahtsmart send me an email of notice.

You dont want to answer my question on TV because it will be there for all to see.

From what I have experienced Bahtsmart will give the lowest exchange rate that comes up during the transaction.

A man of your word you are not.

Once we received your cleared funds in our ANZ Bank account, we will pay your beneficiary in Thailand immediately with the current market rate at that time. NOT TRUE.

Plenty of clouds in Korat but no rain to get excited about.

At a large EP in Suratthani I had two Ss who failed the final in science and hadn't shown enough production to even consider any sort of "over-ride".

The admin told me to shorten the exam to 20 questions, I did that. Still failed. Then it was down to 10 questions, failed. Then I see the two in her office, they're making kaleidoscopes from colored paper. I ask what they're doing, " This is their final exam", she said.

At the end of the semester I was told to give the Ss a passing mark, in the middle 70s. I refused. I was told my final check would not be ready until these two passed with a 75. I refused, went to a lawyer and case was closed within the next two weeks. My contract wasn't renewed .. oh boo hoo.

Good on you. Yes you did win because you showed these slime bags that you cant be bought.

What is going on in the education system here is the reason that we have dumb Doctors etc etc the list goes on, only the wealthy will get the top jobs.

Thailand "The Hub" of can do

A few faces being lost here.

weegee,

When you meet with these people try & tape the conversation....Evidence

If you read some of this it might help to explain why some people are in financial trouble.

17 May One Marine was killed when MV-22B Osprey, BuNo 168020, c/n D0150, of VMM-161, 'YR-01',^[203] from the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit experienced a hard-landing mishap, burned, while conducting training aboard Marine Corps Training Area – Bellows at ~1140 hrs., Hawaii time. Twenty-one Marines and a U.S. Navy corpsman were aboard at the time, and all other 21 have been transported to local hospitals for assessment and treatment. The Marines were conducting routine sustainment training at the time. The 15th MEU departed San Diego 10 May on a seven-month deployment to the Pacific Command and Central Command areas of operation. The cause of the incident is under investigation.^[207] Military officials confirmed the death of a second Marine, in hospital on 19 May. "Family members and sources close to the victim identified him as Matt Determan and said he died Tuesday from injuries sustained during the crash, which also killed 24-year-old Lance Corporal Joshua Barron and injured 20 others.

The airframe, which came to rest upright partially submerged in shallow water was retrieved by a crane as night fell.^[209] The pilot, who was not named, was conducting a routine training mission to prepare for aircraft carrier landing qualifications, according to the Navy.^[210]

Imagine if these accidents had happened in Thailand, what an outcry there would be on TVF, the whole Thai population would have been slated and Thailand put through the wringer, but of course they didn't happen in Thailand OMG, there were Farangs involved, what is the world coming to, perhaps they were American Thai's, yep, that must be it.

Always off topic this is Thailand

Looking at the photos, looks like a very old decrepid plane to me.

Old & decrepaid just like me Colin.

I guy I know in BC bought a German car I warned him but no he didnt listen

Took it for a service, only thing done was an oil change COST 16,000B not even a new filter.

So you go figure.

When I first went to him for a small job he charged me 700B next day same problem

said he wanted to keep the car all day as it was a big job.

I took it to a local Thai mechanic he fixed it 100B and never had another problem with it,

In Korat province.

My MIL has a problem with some rice farms she owns.

She has been to the land office & they have told her nothing

can be done until the military go to that area to sort out the problems.

They are working in Pak Chong now and making their way through the province

how long this will take is just a guess, but it all being controlled by

the military.

She is sitting on 20 to 30 Million Baht of land, can not sell it until its cleared

by the Military. It seems in the old days they would buy land get a receipt

but no official paper work or land title.

Thainess at its best.

She may not own the land but allowed to use it if she doesn't have the Titles, it could probably belong to the government and she may have to buy it, I know their is a lot of land like this in Thailand

I understand that but try & tell her, better off talking to the buffalo. Besides I am just a falang what would I know.

Yesterday I was talking with some food sellers at the market and they cant understand why business is so quiet.

Simple, people have got less money now. All the debt from the credit cards and the new pick ups has caught up with them.

Manni Heckhoff, a German car mechanic got a garage in Ban Chang / Sattahip who is fixing lots of Expat and Thai German cars, not cheap but he knows what he is doing...

PM me for contact details.

I have used him but I cant say anything good about him. You have been warned.

I live right under their flight path in Korat, for take off & landing.

They frighten the SH!T out of me. Watching them drive on the road is bad enough

not to mention the shopping trollies in Tesco.

The pilot, who was unhurt, fled the scene and is being hunted by military authorities.

They found him in the local Karaoke drunk.
