Again - enforceablity and fines. The fines are so low nobody worries about enforcement. Heck, a large segment of the population just don't pay the fines. "You'll lose your license!" What license? ???? To get to "the big cities", i.e., Lamphun and Chiang Mai, I do most of my driving on Highway 11. And Boy Howdy, do I see the worst of "kon Thai" driving every time I'm on that road. Now regarding the right-hand fast lane. I had to pass a large truck driving down the right hand "passing lane" along with everyone else on the road who were driving over 80 kph. The truck driver was just poking along at maybe 60 kph. As we came to a U-Turn-Of-Death I figured the truck was in the right lane to make a U-turn. Nope! He passes the U-Turn and keeps poking along in the right-hand lane. Why? Who knows. But it is not uncommon. I see that kind of selfish behavior often enough. I just want to get around people like that as they tend to be unpredictable.

Guess what type of railing "end" is the most prevalent in Thailand? ???? "Ahhhh, the first one maybe?" Yeah, we call that one, "The Spear!" Or how to send undertakers to the undertaker.

Not to worry. It's unenforceable.

But but but! Gambling is EVIL. (well unless it's run by certain special people)

The public needs to run when dynasties take over government.

Undertaking is passing cars on the shoulder usually aggressively and at excessive speeds. If it is a highway with two (or more) lane traveling the the same direction, the same aggressive morons will also attempt passing on the right-hand shoulder. It's just a form of aggressive driving - and aggressive driving can kill. Thank goodness he didn't hurt anyone else.

However, best to be safe. Keep the masks on for the rest of your lives. ????

I wonder if he has bullet-proof windows in his car? ????

My wife is doing the same for the same reasons. She is interested in what influence her blood sugar.

To the date stamped in your passport. Nobody that the airport is going to ask you if you're still married.

What does Thailand need combat jets for?

Good for you. At 70 I can now envision a time where I'll have to call it quits. Not now, but as you said, your reflexes, vision, and attention just change. There comes a point where you really need to hang up the keys. When that day arrives? I guess I'll hire a driver. Wife doesn't drive. She's a great 'back-seat driver' but the thought of actually driving scares her s***less. So? Kudos for knowing your limits.

Somebody steals his car? And like the "Tomboy" who dies in an accident recently (what difference does sexual orientation have in a fatality), what difference does this man's age make. The actual issue is that so many Thais don't seem of have driving skills. That's an issue of training and practice, not age. 69 years old? That's not that old in this day and age.

I think so.

I see a super-hero movie plot developing.............

Famous Expat Lies: "I'll respect you in the morning." The next day: "Man did I have a good time with that whore!"

Price isn't an issue. My wife's health is what is important.

My wife is borderline Type 2 diabetic and she checks her blood daily and modifies her diet to get her Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) reading lower. Her last FBS test at the local hospital was very good. However. I bought a Sinocare FBS monitoring device on Lazada a couple of years back. The primary problem with this brand of blood sugar monitors is that I can't find the calibrating liquid that show you how accurate you're strips are. You should be able to calibrate the device to a standardized sugar level and then add/subtract the difference based on the reading of your testing strips. I've noticed that the older the testing strips are, the higher the blood sugar reading. Without the ability to calibrate the strips? You can't tell how accurate the actual readings are. Can anyone recommend a brand of blood sugar testing devices that can be calibrated to a known blood sugar standard so we can get accurate FBS reading for my wife. The primary issue here is having a device that can be calibrated so we can get accurate reading. Background: I've got two bottles of Sinocare strips. Both my wife and I tested using a test strip from each bottle. There was about a 75 point difference in the reading between the different bottles of strips. So - being able to calibrate to a "known sugar level" is imperative to get accurate reading. Supposedly Sinocare has a calibrating fluid, but I can't find it online. I'd rather use a device where I can find test strips and calibrating fluid at a local pharmacy instead of ordering online. Thanks!

Riddle me this - What the hell difference does the sexual orientation of a motorcycle fatality victim have to do with --- anything??? ???? I know a number of short-haired, small-breasted women who don't wear makeup in our village. None of them are "Tomboys." If you looked at old pictures of my wife in her youth you could say she looked like a Tomboy. So - in the opinion of the on-site reporter, the victim "looked" like a Tomboy. What difference does it make? Call the wrong woman a Tomboy and you could end up in a defamation suit.

Seatbelts. RIP

So he picked the weakest person in the affair instead of confronting the guy she was bonking.

Well, the Thai authorities will throw him in prison of a long time. When the inmates rape him they'll tell him that they didn't mean it.

Find a new boyfriend. The old one will be in prison for awhile.
