  1. There are already lanes for the elderly or handicapped so that's nothing new.
  2. 2. Driver Training: All drivers must complete a two-hour e-learning course titled “Operating Large Vehicles on Steep Routes”. So they aren't good enough to be actually physically tested on the road then. As my wife said when I asked why car and bike drivers aren't tested on the road, as in other countries, rather than round static cones in a car park. "That's too dangerous, they're only learners".
  3. Not having any interest in politics isn't a problem as Thaksin will deal with that, and someone needs to look after his grandchildren. Yingluck had no profile in politics, but she was still PM. I wouldn't rule out Thaksin himself finding a way in either.
  4. Or possibly go out after dark and sort it whilst it's happening.
  5. I have two questions. Is this instead of the Swedish fighter aircraft? Was it designed as a kamikaze drone, or was it a feature they discovered when they first tried to fly it?
  6. I don't think they're that desperate.
  7. I actually saw a YouTube video a few days ago that showed different things that show how healthy you are and if you're likely to live much past 70. One of the things they mentioned was balance. I'm 71 and have real trouble balancing on one leg, but that's down to an operation on my left ear years ago that took away my hearing and the balance mechanism in that ear.
  8. How do you know he's not a taxi driver. He might just be too old and ugly. We can't all be good looking.
  9. I like that. I'm just annoyed I didn't think of it myself.
  10. Maybe it's a Thai Watch Appreciation Society shirt
  11. I used to have a picture of a policeman wearing a helmet on a bike. He had 2 children without helmets with him.
  12. I hope you're wrong but I don't think you are. The People's Party may struggle without young charismatic leadership.
  13. Sounds a great idea but I'm sure the push to attract higher value had been reported several times before. Anyway, as I said its a terrific plan and I think it should be tried elsewhere. Hotels should add at least 50% to their prices to ensure they only get the higher class of guests. Street vendors could double their prices so they get classier customers. Bars could draw in superior drunks by using the same methods. Imagine how wonderfully uplifting the roads of Thailand could be with all the high net worth drivers of quadruple priced 2, 3 and 4 wheel automotive products. I really don't know why businesses haven't thought of this themselves. At least now the government has given them this fantastic idea. Yes I am being sarcastic, or at least I think I am
  14. I think that's a normal government uniform. The government departments are organised in a fairly militaristic way.
  15. What's her golf like? Not very good, that'll do nicely.
  16. That'll be more dangerous than riding without a helmet
  17. Food delivery drivers seem to wear helmets, so there must be a way to persuade them.
  18. I've looked for a sympathetic post, but in vain. He doesn't seem very popular. He would have been better holding a handrail on one side with someone on the other. Those steps look OK but Thais seem to be not that good at steps. That's sometimes because they lean towards lucky numbers of steps rather than practicality.
  19. He could have been out by now if it had been quicker
  20. I'd get something in writing in answer to the question of legality from the lawyer if I were him.
  21. I'm very confused about all this. When this first came up, either last year, or maybe the year before, it was claimed it wasn't anything new just existing regulations being applied where they weren't before. I think they were rules from the 1970s, although I may well be wrong. How is it that they still haven't sorted them out yet? Also if you send money over, how do they know which year you earned it?
