Does anybody know what those traffic police officers actually do?

They don't care when lots of bikes all the time ignore red lights.

They don't care when cars and bike and trucks ignore zebra crossings.

They don't care when people try to drive while playing with their phones.

What do they do and what do they get paid for?

Mhhmm.... the need of 600 rtp for stop the traffic on sukhumvit-road for 450km if a big politician player want to drive somewhere?

A helicopter flight will be much more cheaper!!!

My passport is about to expire so next time I go it will be with a new passport, and by then all this silliness should have gone.

How did you come up with this idea? When you get a new passport you will also receive a paper for the immigration stating that your embassy have replaced your old passport (Nr. 01234567) with a new Passport (No. 786453210). You must report this to the immigration, as your old passport will become invalid and you will not be able to travel with it.

Question #3 in Thai Driver Education Course:

 

When in accident do you first:

 

1) Call Insurance Company

2) Check on injured people

3) Do a runner

 

 

You have the wrong priority too!!! 

Only for Thais. No english website!!!

Why you not contact some car cainting companies and ask for the price?

In some cases just  a good polishing work wonders!!!

Thai language texts use the acronym กทม, which transliterates as KTM.

Source: https://th.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/กทม.#:~:text=อักษรย่อของ กรุงเทพมหานคร,ของ ศาลาว่าการกรุงเทพมหานคร,,,

 

Therefore, I suggest that people on this forum who have the habit of using BKK, which is really the IATA airport code for Suvarnabhumi airport, should use KTM for Krungthep Maha Nakhon if they do not want to write the full name. I may be doing the same, as I keep forgetting whether the first syllable is Khrung or Krung.

KTM is the airport of Katmandu. I will use still Bangkok or BKK. ????

Let's see who / how much will use the new name in the future. I don't think many.

Do you have a liability insurance in your home country? Read the small print because it can be that they pay to if things happen on holiday in another country.

Thailand still has the death penalty on the books, so I don't think Canada would extradite.

They will do!!! This is not the first murder case from canadians in Thailand. Thailand just has to guarantee that they won't get the death penalty.

Might have been legally registered. Guns are rented out for jobs. the alternative of course is that both the Policemen and the Soldier separately had their house broken into and their gun stolen............................

And not reported it? I not believe!!!

There are several thousands more thai casino sites online.

Just search for "win88" or "game88" and the police have work up to the next year. ????

The media said that the driver failed to negotiate a bend perhaps due to unfamiliarity with the narrow and winding mountain road.

Did they mean him drove to fast?

Who watches these videos or pictures?

Is it not enough to know that a (young) person was killed in an accident?

Do people really have to see a mangled body and lots of blood on the street to understand what it means to die in such an accident?

No!! But people cannot believe how stupid are the parents here, that they let their kids drive around with motorbikes without driving licenses. This parents must be locked in prison.

Maybe it is just me but whatever the government "controls" usually goes South. 
 

Not the prices!!! They go NORTH!!!

I don't know where you got your prices but at ThaiWatsadu the tiles are very cheap. 

1 tiles 9.50 - 13.25 THB / 11 p.m2 x 332m2 = 34.694 - 48.389,- THB plus the top tiles, ...

Looks for me cheaper to buy new as let make new color.

And the old one you can sell for 3-5 thb/piece.
