While Thailand contunues to mark time other neighbouring Countries keep improving things for Visitors, especially safety and security. The thinking here (what thinking there is) only ever revolves around collecting money for the already over rich few and never spending any to improve the 'Experience' of Tourists. In other words it's just same old, same old. Chiang Mai is supposedly Thailand's Second City but drive around The Moat and sample the disgusting Road Surfaces, lack of decent Pavements for People to walk on safely, drivers intent on NOT STOPPING at Pedestrian Crossings etc and Local Police Force not in the least interested in Safety Matters for Tourists. Will things ever improve ? Not while the Country continues to be run by the old Archaic Dinosaurs running it now !

If they are out there and are so advanced then they would only want to observe us. Nothing we have can possibly be of any use to such advanced species.

Kids do it all the time because they are never taught to ride properly and never will be in La La Land. Car Driver just another High So with a Big Head and a very small Brain !

At 40 i wanted it all and i got some of it but at 80 i see the World in a different way and i'm happy with what i've achieved and have presently got. I think it was John Lennon who once said ''Life is something that happens while you are making other plans '', and there is a lot of truth in that.

Will this wake tthe Plod from their slumber when there's possibly only a 500 Baht fine involved and nothing for them ? Justice is the Tea Money Pot !

About the only benefit i can see is it might stop them stealing from Family, Friends and Farang's !

I 'Piti' him for not having the Brains to move on with his life rather than Kill another Human Being. RIP the victim; he didn't deserve it.

They just want money to go away, they learned it from him !

And that hits the nail on the head, as the Thai 'version' of Buddhism allows them to become a Monk/Nun for a short spell, Make Merit, do a few dozen Wai's and all will be forgiven and even forgotten ! A Country that just lives on excuses for all wrongs, no matter how serious those wrongs may be.

If you don't like heat why are you in a Tropical Country ?

Really; have you seen the state of the Pavements in Hua Hin for instance ? The condition of the Roads around the Moat in Chiang Mai ? Electrics just about everywhere ?

Yes; twice.

Some people might have to be woken up to deal with this and others might have to put down their Sweet Water Drinks and Doughnuts, both of these efforts will disrupt the normal slumber in Government Offices. As for 'Navigating these Waters'....they would have trouble Navigating a Duck Pond !

Easy to forget now that Yingluck promised the HST from BKK to CNX would be completed by 2016; she even designed the on-board Lunch Boxes !

Forward Planning is not a strong point in Thailand; tomorrow or the next day is about their idea of 'vision' of the future !

Who cares ? One way or the other it won't help ordinary Thai's !

Ah yes; who was it who put the C++t in Scunthorpe ?

Buddhism not taken seriously in Thailand; just like everything else !

Been here nearly 20 years and virtually nothing has improved on the roads. Indeed; things have actually got a lot worse and it's not just about the innefectiveness of the Thai Cops, who after all, have the same mindset as all other Thai's and the Uniform doesn't change that. I have spoken to many Thai Drivers about this particular problem at Crossings and almost to a Man/Woman their 'Attitude' is predominently that they (drivers) are more 'Important' than Pedestrians and people who want to cross the road should wait until the road is clear ! Echo's of what my good Wife told me when we first met...''Biggest problem in Thailand is 'Attitude' ''

Just depends how much they are prepared to pay to continue to be A+++holes !

I've got an idea that will solve this problem once and for all.....Stop Drinking and Stop visiting Bars !!

My bet would be that the Pharmacy Owner is not in the 'Tea Club' and has no pick-up box on the wall that the BIB visit monthly . No Money= Zero Police Service !

Seems to me Thai Men don't know the difference between Loss of Face and Loss of a Liabilty !

Donald Trump has set his sights on anything and anywhere that he can make personal gain; nothings changed !

Just another example of Thai Polititians taking the Brainless route they always take. Wake them up with Sanctions; especially against 'Influential People', and it's not hard to recognise who they are !
