Yet another case of brake failure ,or should I say failure to apply the brake,

I hope the authorities  are going to inspect the truck ,the truck would have

had air assisted brakes , failure there would have meant the brakes would

have locked up as a safety measure ,  RIP those killed

 

regards Worgeordie

That's providing the brake linings had not overheated and we're affective. A little knowledge can be dangerous.

So obviously your 'Best Efforts' are not good enough. Get the Cops to actually do their job of Patrolling the roads, and stop bad driving, checkpoints don't work and never have, and never will, but you repeat the same "Efforts" every year and Fail.  

Limited brain power.

Can't be very good for these engines sucking in all that crap, and the reduced oxygen IMO could lead to loss of power or even total  malfunction. 

Put some Hepa filters on the intakes and the engines would act as giant air purifiers.

could be something very petty, Ive found local villagers like to complain about almost everything they perceive ive done, from planting a  bush on a  bend saying its dangerous to stop people driving into my  wall ( twice) when the whole road is  overgrown to the point its almost single  track to cutting down of  trees  "illegally" and the forestry dept  coming out and finding  nothing except wasting their time + a  few other nonsense things.

Low intelligence.

I think a mistake, the air pollution is not good and for a sick elderlyman with such respiratory  problems it is not wise.Or may be....

I think he is well now.

They have only just realised?

Can the change of visa stamp into new passport be done at any immigration?

It hasn't been 'officially free' for years, more than 10 at least.  As stated, most charge about 500.

I was told by C.M immigration that it was free.

Makes me think of Monty Python when the women of the Batley Townswomens' Guild reenacted the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Well remembered.

Just out of curiosity as we all know prostitution is illegal in Thailand, does this illegality extend to men pretending to be women selling sex as well as female prostitution?

Not the drivers fault?

By any chance was there a long stretch of road downhill involved?

One minute they don’t allow the sale of alcohol to be sold between 2 & 5 because it might cause problems then they reduce the price of alcohol ?

When will people learn. Don't antagonize the ladyboys! They have notoriously short fuses.

 

 

 

 

Not limited to Ladyboys.

Taking advantage of vulnerable poorly educated Thai country people. 

Who is to blame for poor education and very low income in the villages? Easily enticed with the promise of high salaries in other countries and do not realise that a lot of times they are going to other countries to work in the sex industry.

I extended my one year lease to a five year written lease. I wanted to leave about three years into the five years and the owner refused to return my 30000 deposit. Technically  he was right but when you consider I had paid the owner about 720000 baht over a four year period I think he was a bit mean. So we left the place in a mess and did not pay the last month's rent.

You only have to visit Macro down the coffee Isles, many many 3 in 1 coffee sachets but 2 in 1 coffee sachets without sugar are almost impossible to find.

Thailand has unraveled the mysteries of the universe. That is quite a statement. Such humility. Such brilliant and unsurpassed minds! Give them a Nobel peace prize. 

It's strange these have only been found after cannabis has been legalised.

What a laugh they don't even get tested correctly on inspection they don't even know how to, Checking on Idle, what a bunch of amateurs. Diesels should be floored and watch to see if it clears when the governors kick in. As with air brakes they never check how long it takes to build up air, or if the audio buzzer or gauges work. Tossers.

My Frontier passed the emissions test, there is no smoke and does not use any oil or excessive fuel. But it definitely smells bad out of the exhaust.
