Land mines are relatively cheap and quite effective..

And your point is? Are you suggesting that she have just left the kids alone whilst she worked two shifts to earn enough money to hopefully bring the kids up properly? RIP lady - you did your best.

Electric vehicles/bikes are dangerous especially at speed. One cannot hear them. As kids, we were taught to Stop, Look and Listen. I have problems walking around where I live - no footpaths and electric bikes and vehicles and speeding along the narrow roads. No one seems to use their horns either. Mind you, walking for exercise seems to only be a foreigner's thing.

Quite right too. The dinosaurs do not like the idea of young people having a bit of fun.

At first, it was reported that they were released on December 5th. Then it was no - on Dec 6th. We suggested back then that you could not trust what an illegal military government says. Why should be now believe 'soon after the New Year'.

Normal driving in Samui is for cars, trucks, lorries whatever to pull out from side roads onto a main road and expect motorbikes to give way. I am not suggesting that is what happened here, but rear ending or hitting the side of a vehicle is one of the more common accidents here. Not usually at high speeds though.

I am not sure that it was a she. The articles suggests a customer/patron.

WTF? I did some dodgy stuff now and again at 14, but this kid makes me look like a saint.

And Truckers are not called drivers either . Please stop feeling fragile.

I cannot believe that I fell for it and came here. I usually check the 'joined' date. Time to learn the 'ignore button'

The times when I used them, there was no choice. Seatran wasn't around then. I have not been on Raja since they arrived.

They did not enter Thailand until arrested. No visa needed for that one.

I agree and the answer is a definite yes. We tended to be brought up properly by our parents/teachers/guardians. We were disciplined when naughty, ignored when good. We were taught morals and standards. I was at school late 50's early 60's. Never heard of a weapon of any kind being used or shown. I actually had a German officers ceremonial dagger but I never took it to school. It was a memento that my father took when serving. Mum 'confiscated' it when she saw me practising throwing it.

I wonder why it is that EV owners seem to be so fragile and touchy when it comes to protecting their little darlings' reputation. It just a bloomin car for goodness sake. Personally, I cannot be bothered to wait long to fill up my bike. Much quicker than any car - 2 minutes max I usually wait longer for the change. But the thought of having to wait whilst the battery was charging zzzzzzzzz.

You should visit Samui. Usually boys but quite often girls as well. Some, I have been tempted to follow. Yesterday, a real cutie on a big bike. Derrière up in the air.

Thank you for the update KhunPer. Looks like the incoming storm will have calmed down a bit by then. https://www.windguru.cz/30397

Or too much dope?

Very safe.

Please try to understand the logistics. Someone drives all of the way to Samui for a holiday. They will not drive the 700 kilometers from say Bangkok for a weekend visit during silly season. Then they drive around the island for a week or two. Then they have to drive back. Most sensible people would want their vehicle topped up before they start a long journey. Petrol, diesel, electricity - all same same, but we have lots of gas stations.

I suspect that a prison diet is not a normal part of a sportsman's healthy eating regime.

Brilliant stuff. You could not make this up. Let's solve the world's problems with EV's said governments. Now, where's that bridge? (I suspect that there are not enough charging points on the island either.)

They were not freelancing.

I agree with your sentiment sir, but restoring public trust is not likely to happen until you and your party are in power. Good luck with that.

Those were my first thoughts as well, but it seems that it was a marine police jet ski
