Against the Thai highway code. Many junctions are similarly marked. No consistency or adherence to regulations.

 

Turning to the right, should give way to the left. Turning left, give way to the right. 

But this one is not really a T junction as such, Tungklom Talman road goes all the way from Sukhumvit to Huay Yai road, Just because the road has a 90 degree right turn some people mistake it as a junction, the small road joining from the left has a clear solid white line to stop at, but because it joins Tungklom Talman road at the 90 Deg bend many people mistakenly believe it is a T junction. It has been like that for years and there has been many accidents there.

My thoughts, the car was approaching a T intersection ( 3 way intersection) along the vertical part of the “T” wanting to turn right. The bike was travelling straight through the T from left to right. He beeped the car to tell the car to hold to avoid a collision. After the bike had passed,  the angry car driver then turned right to chase down the bike and overtake him and spun off. 

It is not a good junction, many people dont realise that vehichles travelling along Tungklom Talman have right of way when turning right there, the road approaching from the left has a solid white line meaning vehicles (ie: the motorcycle) should stop there.

Each time I saw subject adds on FB I reported as illegal.

FB reply in each case was "after investigation the adverts do not contravine forum rules".

FB should have sought legal advice.

OR maybe someone should report to the overworked police?

When they first appeared a couple of years ago FB would not take them down, they do now though, just got another one taken down in record time this morning.

Totally agree. My next car will be an ICE SUV. That is what I am interested in and what the original poster in this thread wants. I wish posters would answer the original question and not get on their high horses and start banging their effin drums. 

The EV brigade are like the Vegans of the motoring world, always forcing their opinions on others whether asked or not!!

Isn't Guiness sold here brewed in the region - Singapore I think.

No it is not, the canned draught comes from UK, Malaysia do brew Guinness but it is called Foreign extra and not imported to Thailand.

More than 3 times the U.K. price, is there that much tax on it or a just a rip off ?

Its the cost of shipping mainly, like any other imported goods, and tax, duty and distribution costs as well.

The “fragile” groups, primarily state welfare cardholders, are in line for this direct cash handout.

These are probably not people familiar with iPhones and Apps!

However, with more rain expected, the situation remains fluid, and further disruptions are possible.

Oh really!!

Enforcement of parking, double parking, access blocking would help alleviate traffic build up a lot, but this would require traffic police to do their job!!

Dont think there is any uncertainty, it's not going to happen.

My budget is around 2 million.  My first consideration is a Fortuner GR Sport 4WD.

 

Perfect consideration sir!

Why are so many idiots banging on about EV's when the OP has clearly stated many times that he is not interested in EV's!!

From the amount of debris strewn around, it is quite possible the truck was overloaded, and the distance it rolled would suggest a fair bit of speed as well. 

I guess he went for a dip in the pond and the cow did not like him pissing in her drinking water, that would do it!!

Cant even have a laugh nowadays!! 

Damn, there goes the new F1 track at U Tapau !!

Due to her intoxicated state, Ms. B lay on the bed, but the driver did not leave the room. Instead, he allegedly attempted to rape her. Despite her efforts to resist, her intoxication made her powerless against him. He succeeded in his assault before fleeing the room. After the incident, Ms. B immediately reported the crime to the police at Banglamung Police Station.

 

Following the report, Ms. B tried to contact the perpetrator, who reportedly admitted to the crime and attempted to negotiate with her. However, he then went into hiding. Her friends and older brother later found him waiting to pick up customers in a parking lot in South Pattaya. They detained him and handed him over to the police. Ms. B urged the police to take serious legal action against the perpetrator.

 

Surprised her brother and her friends were so restrained, no 10 on one street justice!!!!
