Amazing isn't it that Cops here have so much money and Gold etc at home. Most Cops i ever worked with had trouble making ends meet every month !

Most Thai's drive like this every day !

Ah; those Magnetic Power Poles strike again !

Clunk Click every trip.....NOT !

In Thailand it's still closer to 1960 in many, many ways !

A Tailgating Bus Driver in Thailand; who would have believed it ? They are in the same club as the 8 and 10 Wheel Truck Drivers who do the same thing day in and day out and no Cops ever do a thing about it. By the way; how are the Pigs ?

'Make America Great Again'; by letting China make everything !

Ah; another 'Famous' Thai none of us has ever heard of ! RIP those lost.

Hmmmm; depends on how much they want your 100 Baht !

As the Minister of Transport sinks into his Plush Armchair, Brandy Glass in hand, inside his 10 Million Baht home, Benz parked on the spacious Drive along with other high priced Cars owned by the Family, ask him what he is going to do about it and/or if he is going to lose any sleep over what happened !!

I've lived 15 Klicks South of Chiang Mai for 20 years and in Rural area's helmet wearing is more like 5-10%. They only wear helmets when they are riding to work in or around the City as they know the Cops will be out collecting Tea Money almost every day; they are not wearing them for safety reasons, only financial reasons. Around the Villages it's a case of how many of the family you can pile on including the Dogs and Cats !

Just more words that have all been heard dozens of times before. Prayut said all the Overhead Wiring was going to be put underground but after one Soi was done and they told him how much it was going to cost the order was reversed !

Personaly i would 'Suspend' the Bus owner by his neck with a rope from a Lamp Post. Same for any Corrupt 'Officials who have been involved in any of this. Until this Country get serious about Punishment nothing will ever improve.

You forget Thai's can barely count and when it comes to serious financial matters they are almost completely ignorant.

Anything else that we can blame on Covid or Brexit ?

Hmmmm; and when other Countries very experienced in how to deal with water try to help they are told..''Go home, we don't need you and we know how to fix it ourselves ''. Glug Glug !

Ah; the Michael Fish of Thailand ! I lived in Chiang Mai in 2011 and still live here now and in my opinion what happened was several more months than usual of frequent and heavyish rain fell in 2011 and this huge amount of extra water runs South and naturally hit Bangkok. They knew it was coming and did nothing much about it until it was too late, like having small Boats with engines running to move the water away faster...Lol. This year it seems to me that we have had equal rainfall to 2011, if not more, so stands to reason that Bangkok will Flood before much longer. If a Thai 'Official' tells you there is nothing to worry about then you should buy yourself a Boat at the earliest opportunity !

Read the same kind of Bull before the 2011 Floods ! Thailand is never PREPARED for anything; especially when people like Anutin are saying everything will be ok. Best thing to do if you live there is flog the Car and buy a Boat pronto !

If any Government was serious about lowering prices of anything they would introduce Price Caps and tell the Processors '' Get your product from anywhere you like Domestic or Imports but this is the Capped Price which the Consumers will be made aware of'' . Suppliers and Supermarkets inThailand are too free to engage in Price Gouging and they take full advantage of that with so little Competition !

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However; i have no wish to live on Rabbit Food without Meat and that's my choice. Years ago i had a good friend who worked in a Laboratory and he always said to me ''If you saw the things i see inside Animals Bodies you too would become a Vegetarian'' . Again; his opinion and i respect that, but doesn't mean i'm not going to continue eating Meat !

'Lost Control' Having been a Passenger in several high powered Cars driven by Thai's (usually i'm the only one wearing a Seat Belt) i can say it is not a nice experience at all as they love showing off. Normal practice seems to be no Seat Belt and either driving with one hand on the Steering Wheel or at times just one finger or one thumb. No surprise then when they 'lose control' as you only need to hit ah empty Fag Packet at high speed to 'lose it' if you are not at any time in complete control of the Vehicle !

What condition was the offending Tyre in ? I see as many bald Tyres as Heads in Thailand and that's not to mention the amount of Underinflated ones i see !

For a start there will have been way way more than 540 cases in Thailand last year as many go unreported and any numbers that are bad news for Thailands 'Image' are dumbed down here. A good start would be rounding up all the Beer Swilling, Pot Smoking Fathers, Grandfathers and 'Uncles' who love to play with the Young Girls in the Family and any others they can get their hands on. Having lived in Rural Regions here for 20 years i have witnessed many 'situations' of abuse of Children; it's endemic, and the 'Authorities' do nothing to stop it.

They've been trying to do that for years but seems the well heeled don't want to come to a Country where they are likely to be Electrocuted by Hanging Wires, robbed for having a decent Watch on their wrist, get killed on so called 'Pedestrien Cossings' by lunatic drivers, falldown uncovered/broken Manholes, negotiate Pavements (where there even is one) taken over by Lamposts, Telephone Boxes, Trees, pIles of Rubbish or the Encroachment of Street Traders and their Equipment and when they are tired of all that they can go to a National Park and get charged four times as much as a Thai for looking at Trees and Flowers ! Meanwhile; we are ensured by certain Thai Politicians past and present that Thailand is already a 'Developed Country'. Pull the other one Somchai !

Uneducated 'Sheeple' are easy to manipulate !
