I'd doubt that there would be any takers but, of course, why should it be denied, it's not exactly that much of a serious case, is it?

Get your excuses in early, Just Weird. 

"Premchai’s lawyer is preparing to seek bail for Premchai, with the bail being set at 600,000 baht"

Any takers he'll be refused bail?

Anytime I hear a siren when driving I check my mirrors and surroundings to know where the sound is coming from. Sometimes you can quickly work out it's coming from the other side of the road so there's no need to worry. Other times you know it's coming from behind you so you best prepare to move out of the way so the emergency vehicle can get through easily. It's your responsibility as a driver and a decent person. 

This is called common sense and empathy. Empathy, or compassion, is supposed to be quite an important pillar within Buddhism. 

Even in your own home you're not safe from idiot drivers.

Who said that he was drunk?

“Further claims were made that the Porsche driver had earlier been seen drinking alcohol”

Copied and pasted from the article. 

I guess your way of thinking would be that he if he had been drinking, he’d only just have had one, and was within the legal limit. 

Looking at the time of the crash, and the state of the car, it’s pretty obvious what’s gone on here. 

Populism - plain and simple. The very thing the junta told others not to do.

Here’s what Thailand needs to thrive

I'd say Thailand has what it needs or can attain it if willing to do so. Thailand needs to concentrate less on what they need and focus more on what they need to get rid of. 

I remember buying a can of alcohol-free beer from Tops because it was heavily reduced. I was just curious to know how it tasted. Anyhoo, It was between the 2-5 pm period where for some reason you can't buy alcohol. The lady at the till said, "cannot". I explained it was alcohol-free. My missus explained it was alcohol-free. After about 10 seconds of her processing the information, she could process no more, and called her supervisor. Her supervisor looked at the can intensely and decided it was okay. 

Amazing how conditioned and unable to process and reason some brains can be.

He said Thai Raksa Chart members might be violating the law that prohibits attempts to influence voters.

Right. But didn’t Suthep just tell people not to vote for the Democrats? I look forward to seeing Suthep being investigated with the same haste. 

He had the chance to trick people into thinking he's a different person by going and debating. He didn't. He's taken a few creepy photos and he thinks that will make people suddenly like him. It won't. 

Too little too late.

So he ultimately refused the fare

This bit! This bit I believe. 

I see in another story that the EC 'has' sent out invitations to other countries to come and monitor the elections. Apparently 'many' countries have accepted the invite but the EC didn't say which countries. Let's hope it isn't only the likes of China, Cambodia and North Korea, etc, who come to monitor.
