Yeah, deffo not worth the hassle unless you're paying for a whole family or something. But if I'm taking the whole family I'm driving anyway....

And they weren't funny either.

Can't get better than Stewart Lee for me. Highly intellectual, extremely funny, liberal left wing political sattire.

What a keeper.

Nah, he just didn't watch the video before he posted it as he assumed it would show something like the thumbnail image of hundreds of "them" sleeping and camping on beaches. That's my guess.

It's not only me then! I think it is only you and me that bothered to investigate by watching it - and I include the OP in that. Everyone else just piles in with their prejudices...

Misleading tripe. 1. The video doesn't include any images such as the badly composited one it uses as a placeholder (see above). 2. The entire eight minute video just shows empty Thai streets with a droning AI voiceover moaning about Indians. 3. There is not a single Indian in the entire 8 minute video. The image above (which, again, does NOT appear in the video) is not even showing Indians. Not even tourists. And it is another bad composite. They were migrant workers from neighbouring countries that set up camp on the beach for ONE NIGHT whilst awaiting transportation to work sites in Bangkok and elsewhere. And yes, they left it in a filthy state. But they were not Indian tourists. When a video goes that far out of its way to mislead people what should we infer about their intentions? The same channel has another scaremongering one called "It Begins... Indians Moving Into Thailand's Cities" showing a badly composited picture of tons of people packing Thai streets. Watch the video and the entire thing shows an empty bridge and a completely empty Benjakitti Forest Park, again with an anti-Indian droning AI voiceover, for the entire eight minutes. The holding page, and images from the two videos. Spot the difference. Seems you are very easily taken in. I wonder why? Did you even watch the video you linked to?? And did anyone else commenting even look at the video? Watch it for ten seconds and it is obvious it is racist tripe because nothing they talk about - or show in the thumbnails - appears in the videos. Nothing.

You do realise that the identity of minors arrested for crimes are protected under UK law? In the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 (Section 49), there is an automatic restriction on identifying minors involved in youth court proceedings. In adult courts, the media can apply to name a minor, but judges often impose reporting restrictions under Section 45 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999. They did eventually release his name just before his 18th birthday (when it would have automatically been released anyway) as a judge deemed it was in the public interest. That is called due process. If the driver of this car was 17 there would have been a similar lack of detail. If in both cases the suspects are adults then it is usually right to release details. No idea why I brought that up, no idea why I made that comparison, I don't know what came over me.

And why did they feel they had to do that? So if they'd come out and said he was 29, brown, Muslim, and was originally of Syrian parentage but it wasn't terrorism related, would everyone have gone "Great, the police have come out with the required information straight away, let's be sure not to target Muslims or immigrants now". Farage would have said "Great job police for releasing the information, everyone go home, have a cup of tea and watch telly"? We all know the answer.

I liked James O'Brien questioning when we can expect to see people setting fire to golf clubs, garden centres or other places where 53-year old white British males like to hang out. After all it's for the kids, it's about the kids, right?

Because last time people jumped to conclusions / deliberately spread lies and misinformation that the perpetrator was an illegal asylum seeker so knuckle draggers smashed up mosques and set fire to hotels with the aim of burning alive the asylum seekers inside. Maybe to avoid that again? Whaddya reckon??

You have to be kidding, right? How do you come to the anti EV, anti China conclusion when they are supporting the consumer? If you want to see ripping off, go and get a quote for a Camry and see what you think. Or an Accord. Or a BMW 3-series. Or a Mazda 3. Or a..... And they are slow, dirty, noisy, and full of old technology. But your problem is with EV manufacturers reducing the price, not with those guys with ridiculously inflated prices for inferior products. Got it.

Strange, it is actually a standard form for all clinics and hospitals that is issued by the DLT themselves. Maybe your clinic gave you the wrong one? https://tmc.or.th/download/Medical_Certificate_EN (13-5-64).pdf

Just walk in to any clinic and say it's for a driving license. I went to one near my house and they had a stack of driving license forms behind the counter - they probaby do several a day, so they all know what you need.

Yes, it is correct. You won't have to do written or practical tests, but you have to do the usual physical tests (reaction time, colour blindness etc) and if I remember correctly watch the one hour safety video (which you can do online before you go). Same documents required: passport and copy of photo page visa, entry stamp, non-immigrant visa, medical certificate and certificate of residence. You will be given a one or two year license only, then upon renewal you'll get the full five year one.
