That will sure prevent him from going off on the next person who honks at him. 

A "Wai" can solve all violent behavior , but smoke a joint and your life is ruined.  

Are they(government) planning to pay EVERYONE for lost income, so they can feed themselves and pay bills?

I think Thai males are taught that when someone honks at you they are telling everyone " You are worthless and have a small dick"

is there no stage when Thais have had enough?

Thai people have had enough! What can they do?  Stay in line or called in for "attitude adjustment"    Sad, sinking ship

Not sarcastic at all. You obviously don't understand alcoholism. An alkie on the roads having DTs is worse than someone having a can of beer.

So when driving drunk, just claim your an alcoholic and everything is ok?  

Hopefully reporters will give him some tough questions! Not the softballs he demands here.

People who cater for the western tourist are hurting

I guess the Russians, Chinese and Middle Eastern are the future of Thailand

Numbers certainly don't jive with the people that work in the tourist industry. They are hurting

Get in and taxi refuses to turn on make a note of number and file the report simple as. Far too many just criticise whithout making no attempts themselves to assist matters

We are guests in their country. Surely it should not be up to us to "fix" the problem.  When you go on holiday do your  file reports for every problem you see? It is the governments job to fix it. But that would require real, actual work with no financial reward.

Uber is so much better because you can actually summon them when you need a ride.   Why don't the "taxi Mafia" have a central booking where you can call a number and order a taxi and they can send the closest free one to you.  If they offered a decent service there would be no need for Uber.

When will Thai drivers learn their lesson?

When bad driving habits cost them substantial money.

Yingluck has promised 'not to be involved in politics’ 

She never was.  

Why don't they make the fines for no meter, refusing fares etc the same as the Uber fines? 2000 Baht 3 month suspension?  

They will become private security guards in Dubai

They are so considerate.

Why can she be convicted in absentia, but they keep saying the Red Bull loser has to be here?

One day I will withdraw 5000 Baht and do this 10 times in one day :)

"52 year old Niran Pratumsin surrendered herself to police confessing that she had killed her husband..."

 

well, that saves us from the TV detective squad. RIP German man.

 

 

And the TV detective squad would have been right

What is even more ridiculous is,  It is the landlord that is punished, not the owner of the business.  I have no doubt the business owner opened up again nearby. Seen it many times

Translation.  "No one bribes us to build parks"

I say put the Met Police Chief in charge of all RTP.   He seems legit
