i agree, but making an effort to catch them 365 days a would be a good start, the police have no interest in doing so it seems so it will continue

IMO this could be the expected result in 6 day period throughout the year if police actually made an effort to catch them, in fact it could be even higher than this since some of the regulars may have considered a higher chance of getting caught so didn't - and yes - Thailand has a serious drink driving problem, part of the reason it not addressed is because those tasked to address it are some of the worst offenders

Drunk drivers in Thailand may face stiffer penalties
smedly replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
the problem is not penalties it is lack of effort by police on detection, penalties are almost useless if a drunk driver believes the chances of getting caught are next to zero unless of course they have an accident but it's too late then and of course then we have a drunk driver that flees the scene of an accident - the other issue, penalties for leaving the scene should be just as severe as drunk driving itself -

New Zealander Dies In Fall From Kanchanaburi Train
smedly replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand
that is all well and good thinking provided it is something were you have control, unfortunatly that is not always the case in Thailand, safety standards exist but are not managed - you are more likely to be involved in a life threatening incident in Thailand than pretty much anywhere in the world through no fault of your own except assuming something is safe when in fact it isn't -

New Year alcohol controls - no selling up to 2 am outside special areas
smedly replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
shouldn't have to "find a way" - why should tourists have to dodge and duck down back streets to get a beer after 2am, it is complete nonsense having these restrictions..................and their excuse/logic is even worse I have absolutely no doubt that these uneducated ##### running this country would completely ban alcohol if they could get away with it, we have a health minister who is basically promoting weed as its replacement because he sees himself making billions from that market these restrictions are hurting Thailand - I know for a fact that people who have recently come here for a holiday and have been doing so for years "are not happy" - they didn't realise before coming that 2am was it for their night out - they just did not believe that was possible in Thailand after coming here for years - more and more I am hearing they will be going to Vietnam - Phil - Cambodia etc until Thailand sorts itself out and bins all these restrictions that DID NOT exist the last time they were here -

Mick, this is how it should be and how Thailand was I now get the impression in Thailand that they want millions of tourists to come here and then punnish them with stupid restrictions os soon as they get here, it is quite shocking their idiotic approach to stop drunks driving is quite frankly bizarre why not completely bann vehicles from the roads after midnight - oh that would be stupid wouldn't it................the logic is the same -

An unsung hero in the tragic end of HTMS Sukhothai

seems to me the real disaster was that this vessel was poorly maintained and was not seaworthy - who gets the blame for that ?
