What needs to change is Thai Driver's 'Attitude'. Now; whoever could achieve that would be more than an average Hero ! When i first met my Wife to be 20 years ago she gave me a few pointers for living in The Land of Scams and one of the things she said was 'The biggest problem in Thailand is People's 'Attitude'. ' How right that proved to be and nothing has changed down the years; so they can do what they like with the Zebra Crossings but whatever they do it won't change the 'Attitude' problem !

Plenty of available Labour here. Out on my daily Bike ride this morning i saw the usual Labour availabilty; some sitting on their haunches smoking weed, some drinking Beer at 8am and others swinging in Hammocks, all the things i've seen them doing for the last 15 years while their Wives and Girlfriends work from silly O'Clock in the morning until silly O'Clock in the evening at the Local Market or on the Street to feed the Family and the Men's bad habits. These 'Men' and millions of others like them all over the Country have no 'skills' other than those already mentioned. I would suggest rounding a few thousand of them up and sending them to anywhere they may be of some use....wherever that may possibly be !

Told Ya So !

'Responsibility' and 'Accountability' are two words never taught to Thai's !

They want 'Skilled' workers from Thailand; so there won't be a queue !

They say it won't.....which means it will; so be prepared for ecological disaster folks !

Then stay away from Restaurants as well; don't visit anywhere they want money from you before you even sit down....madness !

More Pissing in the Wind !

My deceased Father-in-Law murdered a Man by knifing him to death back in 1960 when they were both 20, both drunk after several days of drinking and were 'best friends' at the time. FIL couldn't remember anything at all about the attack or the reason for it and witness's said they were arguing over something trivial. FIL was charged and convicted of murder and sentenced to nine years in prison of which he did just four years and was released. He never returned to the area where he previously lived and all the rest of his life he never showed any guilt or remorse for what he had done to his 'friend' or the agony it brought both Families relatives. He talked about it in a matter of fact way that you might talk about watching TV or going shopping.

The one time out of four License renewals i got pulled to watch a Video it was noticed that the Vid' must have been at least 30 years old looking at Vehicles and People's clothes; shows how keen they are to make people aware of the latest rules and laws. Meanwhile in the another room ajoining mine were about forty Young Thai's who were, without exception, playing with their phone's and ignoring the Video completely that they were supposed to watch to obtain their first License. A Female Civil Servant 'in charge' of the room was busy....playing with her phone as well !

The key words being 'Civilised' and 'Quick' !

What will make me happy one day is when i read that they have 'moved in' to Government House and booted out everyone who's in there !

Tragedy here is that most people don't seem to want to learn and just think all their actions are good ones. Responsibility and Accountability when things go wrong just doesn't seem to be in their mindset. As far as road safety is concerned things are going to get a lot worse before they get better; it's already happening with all these Unlicensed Battery powered 'Bikes' and 'Scooters' that are running around and seem to multiply every week. These people are out on the main roads with no License required, No Tax, No Insurance etc etc and they silently creep up behind you without a 'beep beep' when you are on a normal Bicycle. As more Electric Cars and ever more of these Two Wheelers get on the road there will be more accidents, more deaths and more injuries. And what will the so called 'Police' be doing........still Zzzzzz of course !

Ah yes; another case of think of a number, double it and add 200,000 !

In Thailand there are Bandits coming at you from Everywhere O'Clock !

'Suspect' will walk; if not now then short time in the future as Farang are 'Disposable Aliens' here !

It's not a Proactive Society in any way; so nobody will be 'ready' for anything !

The Buck stops with you Mr 'Director'; get it sorted, stop making excuses and feed the Kids properly !

When you have a bunch of Military Gangsters in Government House only interested in buying Submarines, Aircraft and anything else that will make them even filthy richer than they are already; whilst at the same time taking away people's rights to have freedom of speech and freedom of choice, then nothing will ever be done that actualy helps this country, it's economy or its people. One day the people of Thailand must wake up and take back control of their lives; it's the ONLY way forward from where they are now.

As they used to say on 'Thunderbirds'...'Anything is possible in the next half hour' !

How do they know when they never conduct a Census ? There are a lot of 'Invisible' people in Thailand including thousands of Thai Nationals who don't want to be found. Looks to me like another number taken from the TAT files !

What ? Thai's cheating; they would never do a thing like that would they ? Lol.

Just another day and hardly newsworthy !

In Thailand not incredible; but normal !

Who cares ?
