That's been the rule for Thais and foreigners for ages - there has never been a difference in how Thais and foreigners are treated in this aspect. It's been months since they hospitalised positive cases...

Because if you thought your child had been murdered in a horrible way you would just let it go wouldn't you. And where was her mother mentioned in this story??

Excellent, thanks for introducing a totally irrelevant crypto brag into the post. I love the way crypto bores like to do this..... they can't just invest and keep it to themselves like most people, they always feel the need to tell the world how "clever" they are.

So how did you hear about it then? The persecution complex of some posters on here is unbelievable. How do you go through life with such a massive chip on your shoulder?? I always wondered where there were never any news stories about Thais committing crimes, only foreigners, now I know.

Pretty sure I recognise at least some of the posters decrying this as also saying Thailand's Covid regulations are stupid and we should go back to "normal" like our superior western countries. Welcome to TVF. Of course, let's just bash a major religious and cultural belief and ignore the hypocrisy, much better.

I have no idea what percentage - I haven't done a survey. But I have seen many areas done: Long stretches of Sukhumvit, Silom, Petchaburi, Asoke, Ratchada, Phaholyothin, Phaya Thai, and other places. Lots of videos out there if you are genuinely interested (I guess you're not though as I detect a lot of negativity in your questions).

Must have taken you ages to come up with that one, well done. So can you tell me what your issue is with the progress made in the last three years and why it shouldn't continue for the next three? Will all cables be underground in three years? No. But judging by progress in the last three years they will get a fair way. So why are they burying their heads??? Love to hear your insight.

Did you receive them yet?

Khlong Ong Ang is really nice, especially Friday - Sunday when it is a walking street. Lots of food, stalls, drinks, and a really cool vibe. Easy to get to as there is an MRT station just a couple of minutes walk away. Highly recommended. It even got a UN award for the restoration. https://www.tatnews.org/2021/03/award-winning-khlong-ong-ang-walking-street-isnt-your-average-walking-street/

Eh? She is not complaining about it. The article is about the unprofessional behaviour of the airport staff, no one is complaining about fame or having their picture taken. Odd comment.

Well sorry to jump in here, I have been driving here for 25 years and I have seen over 100 vehicles on various motorways in flames. All of them caused by faulty maintenance. Oh wait, sorry, what I meant to say was I haven't seen a single one, not one. Safety First must be very special, or he is making stuff up to reinforce his prejudices.

Yeah absolutely, it is only Thais that fall asleep at the wheel. The 53 fatal crashes per year (and 350+ crashes in total) attributed to it in the UK are obviously fake as they are non-Thai. Just more unjustified bashing of an entire nation, with some smug superiority thrown in, well done. https://www.actuarialpost.co.uk/article/quarter-of-fatal-crashes-due-to-falling-asleep-at-the-wheel-15162.htm

Definitely not. They are frogs.

Mine always come to my work, even though the car is registered at my home address and the work permit I supplied when I bought it is a digital work permit which doesn't include a company address. No idea either why or how that happens.

Really? Which part of this is a question? "The gantries show speed limits, they don't show the speed of your vehicle as it passes!"

No it doesn't. Look again at the picture. Barely a minor dent on the front of the car, absolutely the airbags should NOT be deploying at that type of impact. If they were they'd be exploding in to people's faces and chests left right and centre and probably be killing dozens of people each month.

Several other people have also posted global "facts and figures". I am sure Excel will be along any moment now to thank them for their information and apologise for being wrong and offensive. Any moment now. He's just busy with his coffee, he'll be here soon.

Would you come back to let us know how they are after you receive them? I'm also looking for super high quality hotel style towels but too wary of ordering online as I can't pick them up, feel them etc. Especially considering that company has not received a single review. Would be great to know if you're happy with them.

Farage supporter?

So you know several people who have had accidents that weren't their fault and they were told that because the accident would not have happened had they not been in Thailand then it was therefore their fault? Really?? Sorry I do not believe you. Please post details and what was said. I have personal first hand experience of the police taking my side when a Thai tried to blame me for an accident that wasn't my fault. Thonglor police too!

Not this tired old nonsense again. How many times in this thread??

So are you saying nobody should be allowed to drive any kind of vehicle if they own a green energy company? Or just nobody should be able to drive any kind of vehicle full stop? I assume you walk everywhere. Must have taken you ages to get to Thailand.

Front airbags won't go off for a rear collusion unless extremely severe. A number of years ago I was driving a brand new car (a beloved Subaru Impreza WRX), red plates, only had it a week. Sat in the right hand lane waiting to turn right in to my condo when I was absolutely smashed from behind at high speed by a pick up truck. Sent me several metres up the road, span me 180 degrees and completely crushed the back of my car. The CD in my CD player ended up on the back seat, the tins of tomatoes I had bought and put in a shopping bag behind the driver's seat were completely crushed. Luckily I wasn't hurt. It took six months to repair the car (can't believe they didn't write it off). My airbags did not deploy. I didn't hit the steering wheel so they clearly weren't needed and when I asked about this I was told they were designed not to go off if rear collision unless it is super severe and there's a good reason. Let's say they did go off but the collision had sent me into the oncoming traffic and I was then hit head on by another car - I'd be dead as there would be no airbags, so that is part of the logic when hit from the rear. So they are very intelligently designed. The guy who hit me was blind drunk by the way, tried to blame me saying I had no lights on and wasn't indicating (it was at night - I did have lights on and I always indicate). I also had red plates and you are not supposed to drive with red plates at night, but the police completely took my side.........just a little anecdote for the "they'll always take the side of the Thai" brigade.

No, that's what seat belts are designed for.

Worried about what? Have you seen the car? There is minimal damage meaning the impact was no way severe enough for airbags to deploy. Do you expect airbags popping off after every little impact anyone has??
