i wonder how may people would be visiting the temple as the tigers were the main attraction of this sanctuary. he is owning up as there is no alternative but to face the legal consequences.

The headline makes it sound like it was the intention of the train (driver) to ram the pickup. Poor use of English yet again.

 

you understand the intended meaning. usage can vary from country to country.

In BP article, he deliberately drove around barrier,  while all alarms/lights working, because he thought he had enough time. Lucky that train was slowing for station or could have been much worse.

Should be charged with terminal stupidity.

case of sheer miscalculation.

Thais, always trying to find the loophole in everything they do.

there was no loophole. barrier was down and he rammed right through it. if there was a loophole his action could have been a little more understandable.

Some drivers should never have advanced past riding a buffalo,  in fact the Buffalo has more brains.

can we also lay some blame on the low test standards for obtaining a driver's licence.

So; according to the report it was the truck that 'broke through the barrier'...not the driver.   So typical of Thai thinking and behaviour.

 

When this moron gets a new vehicle will he have learned anything from this experience ?   Highly unlikely has to be the answer !

negligence written all over in this case. the driver did not exercise due caution.

from the circumstances of the case, there appears to be negligence on part of the driver. you should slow down approaching the train crossing and secondly you should look out for approaching train traffic. looks like he did neithter resulting in the horrific accident.

we hope they all recover and learn some lessons from the foolishness of the driver.

Wouldn't it be nice if he did something to help the British people that come here instead of kissing ass

what  the tourists should do is to register themselves with the British Embassy upon arrival so that the embassy has data base to work on in case of issues. of course it may not be practical for short terms visitors.

Should be easy to track them down as next to nobody like that in Thailand.

unless he goes into hiding in some rural area.

Immigration don't give a rats about tourism. Perhaps it might help if Mdme TAT had a word in their shell like ear.

she is trying on many fronts. perhaps this is the one she needs to attend to immediately. first impression on arrival matter immensely to the tourists.

Well, judging from the OP because there are not enough scanners and cameras.

inward apparently judging from the Denton report.

Nothing new in this. Immigration is opening more regional offices throughout Thailand and they do not have the personal or equipment to staff them. 4 hours to do a 90 day report at the new Buriram Immigration, no staff and no equipment.

when open the regional offices in the absence of the possibility of getting staff and the relevant equipment.

I think Mr. Denton's estimate is a little exaggerated. There were only four flights arriving around that time with two of them using an A320 which can carry 150 passengers, an 737-800 which can carry up to 215 pax and a third one using an A330-300. An A330 can carry up to 277 passengers making a total of 792 pax in all (assuming all four flights were full which might not be the case). If you look at the image, it looks like there were more than four flights, but apart from the last two which I've outlined in green, the others were all codeshare flights. The first four which I've outlines in red was a codeshare operated by Thai using the A330.

 

It's still a lot but those same flights would have been handled in the same way in the old terminal so I don't see what all the fuss is about suddenly.

three and a half hours to get through immigration and customs is anything but a harrowing experience.

coordination is such an integral part of an operation  that some  simple omissions can jeopardise the entire operation. a brand new terminal  building  is proving to be of little help in solving the immigration queues due to lack of matching number of computer terminals and processing equipment. the co-ordination process went haywire some where leading to the fiasco.

welcome to the risks of the  tourist world but you are taking the risk voluntarily by going to such places.

Do yourself a favor.  Go to your medicine cabinet and write down a list of all your perfectly legal prescriptions.  If you're as old as a lot of us, the list won't be short.

 

Then Google each one to see if it will ring the bell on a cheap, first pass piss test.  And figure that the more sophisticated test that will eventually exonerate you may take a week or two.  During which time you'll be a guest of the local jail.

 

My BKK doctor strongly suggested I stay away from bars where I'm likely to be piss tested.  He said I'd eventually be cleared, but why risk a couple of weeks of misery?

thanks for the enlightenment. most elderly are on a truck load of medication daily.

Point taken, but your average producing documents and peeing in cups? If that happened to me in any country I wouldn't return and would make a point of telling others no to do so. Not a great way to attract much need tourist currency.

and believe you me the word of mouth  would be a very powerful medium.
