Motorcycle Accident in Pattaya Claims Life of a British Man
Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
The video does not match the article, since they were driving in different directions. The video does not show the accident itself, but it is not hard to imagine, that the vendor probably made a right turn in front of the brit who was driving at high speed in opposite direction. -
British Tourist Dies in Tragic Jet Ski Accident in Phuket
Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Why did he die in a Bangkok hospital, if the accident happened in Phuket? -

Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I have visited a few of these provinces and wouldn't mind to visit more of them, if I could only find some decent restaurants and hotels there! -

Aussie Woman Reveals Harrowing Tales from Infamous Thai Prison
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Giving inmates a harsh prison term, will deter many others from becoming criminals, which is a great benefit to society! -
Bangkok Chaos: Pickup Plummets From 4/FL Hospital Car Park
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
My theory: Imagine a very small woman in a very large car. She would hardly be able to see above the dashboard. Going up on a ramp would make her see absolutely nothing in front of the car. Only when the car is on level ground after having left the ramp, she will suddenly have seen the parked car in front of her, probably panicked and pushed the accellerator instead of the brake. Having a small wife myself, I have never understood why they keep making the dashboards higher in new cars, but I guess that it must be for the drivers and passengers safety. But solving one safety problem by raising the dashboards, will just create another safety problem, when smaller people are behind the wheel. Here in Bangkok, I have driven with several taxi drivers who barely had a view above the dashboard in their Toyota Altis. -
Public Indecency at Wat Phra Kaew Spurs National Outrage and Debate
Xonax replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
When Thailand offer visa free entrance for certain countries, they should also accept, that not all them are well behaved. -
One could only hope, that this will hit international news just as hard, as when the swiss guy gently kicked the female doctor away from "his" stairs! A country with such a negligent police force, deserves to be avoided by many tourists.

Thailand Cracks Down on E-Cigarette Sales with Fines
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why not ban real cigarettes with tobacco as well? They are without doubt killing and making more people sick, than if all smokers switched to vaping. We all know that problem is, that there is no monopoly that controls e-cigarettes. At least vape smells better than tobacco smoke and people don't throw the cigarette butts everywhere, or in smelly ashtrays. -
Thai Businesswoman Loses Over 40 Million Baht in Home Burglary
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
To my best understanding, home insurances in Thailand normally doesn't cover anything worth stealing! -
Kiwi Arrested for Illegal Use of Fireworks on Thai Beach
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
The police should rather catch som of the many thai's driving around with modified exhaust systems on their motorbikes and cars. I live in what used to be a quiet village, but these days all the delivery bikes and trucks are polluting the area with noise. I don't understand why the delivery companies are allowing this, and how these often older vehicles can pass the annual inspections with modified exhaust systems. -
British Tourist Warned Over Criticism of Thailand Online
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Or maybe they should just leave Thailand, if they don't like it here? -

Isn't he seriously sick? -
Drunk Driver Kills Traffic Policeman at Bangkok Charity Event
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
That's probably why they are all avoiding to do this job! -
I guess that the funding from Dubai has dried out, now Taksin is back in Thailand.

Thai drivers very often cut in front of me on the roads, exactly like this Benz did, most likely hoping that I will notice them and brake before I hit them.

Why seize the vehicles? -
Thai tourism sector proposes 300-baht tax to counter over-tourism
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Just another "get rich in a hurry" scheme to line the pockets of the already rich tourism operators. -
I guess that this will also mean even more annoying ads in the app, if that is even possible!
