Thai road safety groups challenge extended bar hours over drink-driving fears
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

Bus accident in Prachuap Khiri Khan: 14 dead, 35 injured
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

Bus accident in Prachuap Khiri Khan: 14 dead, 35 injured
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

Pattaya police explain alleged bribery in child prostitution case
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
