Totally wrong. The bus was going downhill too fast and despite the sugary report this piece of road isnt particularly bendy if driven at the speed limit. My buddy was behind this bus earlier at Bang Tao and said it was being handled badly and the driving was aggressive. In the video above shot following the bus , I cant see if its brake lights even light up...

I live in Phuket. Fines have defintely skyrocketed in price , Im told no IDP/Thai license is now 1-2000 bt , no helmet 500-1000 with receipt. These were once 300bt and are the real earners , its rare to see Police chase down the puffed up meat heads and north Africans screaming thru the villiages. Having said that , I live in Kamala wherein , due to the efforts of one very honest snr cop , proper policing often takes place. The local police are pleasant and politely direct. Pity they arent about at 5pm high season....my experiences in Kamala.. 18 years ago I went DUI , "fine" was 20k no receipt , paid 17k. One time was stopped at roadblock , no helmet , 300 with receipt. Ran an orange and was chased down recently , apologised , license showed local address , let go. Im rarely stopped at roadblocks , but Chalong is the only place I know has a very bad reputation and anything can happen.

Ive just read how a perceived lack of active policing and softness on criminals has dramatically reduced tourism by Chinese to Thailand. This is a chance for Thai authorities to show the World that they are not weak. Throw the book at these pigs. Show these louts that people cannot travel the world expecting to threaten people others with knives !

Yes , I call out BS anywhere I see it and Netanyahus government keeps me busy ! Just look at the BS you repeat. "Israel had received info that a terror attack AGAINST ISRAELIS was planned and a full moon party was the possible location. For starters , Phuket does NOT have Full Moon Parties ! So BS full on there. And how did these fictional terrorists plan to single out the Israelis ? Ask each raver their nationality ? LOL And , btw , is this the Israel that was incapable of predicting its own attack and is still open for tourism while constantly under at war ? In short , what evidence was there for any of that BS 'warning'..oh I know its a 'secret'. Theres never any evidence. These Much Ado warnings are put out to keep the world thinking , "poor Israel and its sufferring ..." while it constantly ignores international law and theives land. ALSO , may I ask whats the meaning of your last sentence ?? It sounds like something a Nazi informer would say ...am I to read it as a feeble attempt to intimidate ? 5555

Google says ...Im not asserting this is what the police will say , but it does assert the cops are SUPPOSED to recognise their fellow ASEAN members ... https://www.google.com/search?q=asean+licenses+issued+in+thailand+and+used+in+the+philippines+%2C+accepted+ok+%3F&rlz=1C1JZAP_enTH1032TH1032&oq=&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCQgBECMYJxjqAjIJCAAQIxgnGOoCMgkIARAjGCcY6gIyCQgCECMYJxjqAjIJCAMQIxgnGOoCMgkIBBAjGCcY6gIyCQgFECMYJxjqAjIJCAYQIxgnGOoCMgkIBxAjGCcY6gLSAQoyOTg3MDVqMGo3qAIIsAIB&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

"Quick , its getting a bit difficult here and 'ANTISEMETIC! 'isnt working. Lets just dismiss any valid points with an ageist accusation !"

Only 2 months back the Israel government put out a travel warning that included Thailand and mentioned Phuket , all because a Jewish cleric had been killed in ....wait for it .... THE UAE ! Meanwhile , while the missiles were flying , Israel was advertising it had its doors open to Intefnational Tourism and were pushing visitation ! That annoyed/ disenchanted quite a few big tourist operators here in Phuket. But lets just call them antisemetic ...555

Yes , and their great leader Abraham was actually an immigrant from Mesopotsmia ... they will be claiming it shortly.

Theres a farang cooking and serving food at Kamala Fantasea market in Phuket and nobody seems to object...

Wow , all that special 'targetting' and precision bombing ... so careful and precise it resulted in what Donny today calls TOTAL DESTRUCTION ... hmmm .... So Israel failed at 'precision' ... And still you declare that Hamas needs to be wiped out ? So Hamas still exists , therefore the Israeli assault on Hamas was another FAILURE . We know the truth , the only 'win' was what Israel calls ' accidental ' , it was making Gaza uninhabitable . THAT was entirely unintentional of course , we believe you , but Trump and Netanyahu will run with it . We wont mention all that the oil off the coast ...

While Israel and the US clean up the proven oil reserves just off Gazas Coast ? Golly ...y'all so generous !

Throw the book ( in Thai only ) at him.

I cant seem to find any reference to "Compulsory " ? All properly taxed vehicles are supposed to carry CTP Insurance . Admittedly the cover is only a paltry 30,000 baht max , but as its fault free I dont understand why that avenue was not explored ??

If only other 'Statesmen' had such wisdom...

And when Trump starts talking about Hannibal Lector again , Kamala better get worried like the rest of us ! LOL.
