  1. so they have stuffed business class seats in the middle of economy class - lol what genius came up with that idea
  2. Like one extra hour of drinking is going make a huge difference, another idiotic idea, do they think people will sober up in an hour or two, also what legal powers do these people have to detain anyone they think is driving drunk that is a job for police, these people are so far removed from reality it is shocking The message should be "LEAVE THE CAR AT HOME" or face stiff penalties and this should be ongoing whether 2am 3am or 4am closing, proper policing is the answer not this childish nonsense
  3. when is a bus not a bus - when it's a van how many accidents happen at u-turns on Thai roads ? RIP to these victims
  4. what a shock another bus crash, that's 3 this week alone (reported) and one very deadly, either the buses are not fit for purpose or the drivers or both
  5. it's not really a road is it, it's a "WALKING STREET" perhaps a taxi rank outside the street would solve the problem and that goes for MB taxi also
  6. ‘interrogate’ maybe interview, and she is entitled to her opinion, perhaps if Thailand encouraged this sort of feedback is might highlight areas for improvement which there are many
  7. a Thai who will never set foot on a bus in Thailand again, sensible thinking
  8. ordinarily resident is living in the UK for 6 months - not ordinarily resident is out of the country for 6 months, exceptions exist like i mentioned above, they rarely check anything as they have no means to do so, if you have a NI number and a UK address then you are good to go
  9. not sure that is correct, if you are ordinarily resident (6 months) you can resume free NHS Healthcare, there are exceptions if you worked in the forces or police etc you never loose free treatment, and they seldom check anyway
  10. notice how there is not a mention of the current virus spreading in China and overloading hospitals there, have no lessons been learned these last 3 years
  11. i cannot see the logicical thinking here, anyone that goes out with the intention to drink and drive are going to do it regardless of what time the venue closes, it is not a viable option to curb drink driving, a viable option would be to get the police to do their job but then they are probably all drunk by then and driving home
  12. they do but like everything else to do with laws and enforcement it was forgotten the day the ink hit paper
  13. what do you think, what is your gut feeling...........in the west we take this very seriously - get a 40b taxi home- no need to be you wonder why the west has police enforing traffic laws - if you don't get it then you are part of the problem, Thailand dons't get it, .......... they never will, a lot of the drunk drivers out there in the small hours are police, they think they are untouchable - in some ways that is true
  14. actually bus accidents in the UK are rare and are usually very minor, not much in Thailand were the news reports several weekly and are not so minor
  15. yet more senseless loss of life on Thailands dangerous roads, you can make a guess what caused this to happen - driver fatigue - speeding - lack of driving skills - mobile phone use - mechanical failure etc etc etc but the fact remains - at least 14 people are dead due to all or a combination or one of the above RIP
  16. Two days later, the German suspect was taken to the Pattaya court, to have his detention extended for further questioning. The suspect then sought bail and the application was granted by the court on the condition that he must report to the court on November 14th, or his 500,000 baht surety would be confiscated. On November 7th, the German suspect flew out of Thailand. try doing that with an unpaid hospital bill, the police trying to defend this is hilarious and also tragic, money talks here, money number one
  17. OMG, and one week was bad enough in pattaya, do they really think this is a tourist attraction, everyone i know can't wait for it to be over and some even leave the country to escape the madness, delusional
  18. you only have to look at this guy to work out that he is a thug, bully and gangster and i am sure not his first murder, what the hell is a kanman anyway - i think i gave an accurate description above
  19. well you can try and justify your actions but it is still murder
  20. his wife (thai) obviously did the right thing and stayed well out of it
