There have been so many high-profile incidents... I wonder how many low profile incidents go unreported.
There is something in the psychology of Thai drivers that makes cyclists invisible to them.
The speed differential between road traffic and cyclists is high enough that the ‘invisible’ cyclist is just mown down.
The only safe place to cycle in Thailand at the Skylane and dedicated cycle lanes away from roads.
Cycle lanes next to a road are not safe - people park on them etc.. and drivers will still drive into you there.
I'm a veteran cycling tourist and have cycled in Thailand extensively. On roads with a lot of traffic and on highways I always cycled on the wrong side of the road for safety reasons. I was always on the extreme right side of the road and saw all the oncoming traffic and everybody saw me. The safest way to cycle in Thailand.
Many cyclists have been killed riding on the left by cars and trucks whose drivers didn't pay attention or fell asleep (after the use of too much yabaa or just plain too much driving). The dead cyclists never saw them coming ...

So what? As there still are a lot less than half of the population vaxxed of course there would be most of the cases with the unvaxxed pop. Duh! Would be great to see some relevant info here for a change. I only see Covid Covid Covid anyway. Aren't there other things going on in the kingdom? Thanks.

If it's from social media, chances are it's fake, misleading or divisive. News comes from proper outlets. Not social media.
Proper outlets? MSM?? I don't know any "proper" ones. The interesting ones are banned more and more and deleted by Facebook and YouTube "factcheckers".

If you do this free "test" you have a good chance to be tested positive even though you are perfectly healthy. The PCR and the antibody test are like a lottery, in fact there is no reliable test for a virus like this. That's the problem, why we have these high numbers of so called infected people and the relatively low numbers of deaths. Much lower than with former influenza seasons.

That only shows how flaky the PCR test is. The reliability is maybe 5 to 10 percent at best and the probability to get a false positive is higher than 50 percent. Don't undergo the test. The new antibody test is also BS. Positive means you are either infected or have been infected in the past. Take your pick.

It is notorious that it's always suicide when a foreigner falls from a balcony without any investigation but when a Thai citizen had a fall it's probably a murder. There are too many foreign people falling to their death in Thailand to be suicides in my opinion. It's a convenient method for getting rid of a person.

Dilemma for Dutch PM Rutte after voters reject EU-Ukraine partnership deal
Where is the dilemma ?
The vote was NO. NO means NO.
If anyone has a dilemma it is the trough feeders of the EU as their gravy train comes screeching to a halt.
The vote can be overridden by the government, it is not binding.
Reading between the lines: a no vote for the EU. Just the beginning, waiting for England to make the vote.
May be you missed it, but one is for a country wanting to exit in the EU, the other is for the EU not wanting a country to enter.
Like I said , reading between the lines. Didn't miss a thing, probably better informed than you are.
I'm Dutch and voted NO. The first time in decades I got some satisfaction out of voting. But it remains to be seen what the powers that shouldn't be make out of our NO ...


Foreign Tourist Dies Due to Suspected Heart Attack on Pattaya’s Walking Street
in Pattaya News
"Died suddenly"... "Evil pot"? Don't think so. More like a natural health product.
