Down under or Thai? Aussie mum trades Oz for Land of Smiles

I wonder what visa they actually have ... probably Elite -
I can not understand Thai parents who allow their children to ride unlicenced and (usually) without helmets when this country has such a high road toll. So many drivers here have no understanding of the road laws or a total disregard for them. Two 14 year old girls dead and I blame the parents as much as the drunk driver that hit them.

They really need to stop children riding motor scooters. They have no experience and pretty much fail to react in a serious situation. No licence or insurance so their victims get nothing.

People have forgotten the gift from the Russian Government to Afghanistan (A beautiful Super Highway) that was then used in 1979 to invade the country ... Being able to move troops quickly is vital. -

Three weeks of Songkran celebrations begin April 1st
dyertribe replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I love how this works ... announce a 3 week Songkran, then have a meeting to discuss and plan it. What could possibly go wrong.

Faulty brakes lead to 14 vehicle pile up on Rama II Road, Bangkok
dyertribe replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News

Drain the fuel bunkers, remove any explosives and let the diving community use it. Of course, as it was not prepared as a dive site, there is considerable danger and snag hazards.

dyertribe replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
This is true of every country. Individuals are usually fine and genuine, but in a pack that all changes. I try to avoid large groups but will chat with anyone one on one ... and I seem to meet great people.
