Big bike forced off road by car on Bangkok highway - video
IMHO as an ex-magistrate, I would find them both guilty. First, looking at the motorbike, his offences under the Thai RTA were, Section 44 no indicator, no lane splitting in the run up to the accident Section 45 overtaking on the left. This illegal maneuver put him in a position where the car driver did not expect him to appear had he been aware of what was behind him. The car driver's offences, Section 44 no indicator, and clearly not checking his mirror before making the maneuver. There are other offences that committed that I would consider unreasonable but a belligerent policeman might try to pursue. For riders out there, be aware lane splitting is not legal in Thailand, you have to be in a designated lane. You can only overtake on the right except under special circumstances, eg vehicle ahead turning right etc, you must use your indicators when overtaking. The MG was driving without due care, I don't think it was deliberate, he probably never saw the bike, deliberate actions follow a longer aggressive run up to the accident. -

Hilarious reading these comments. No one hear mentioned common sense as it probably no permitted in Asia..lol What makes you feel that swerving in and out of lanes, cutting through lanes and driving like you own the whole entire roadways thinks you're going to not get hit.. There's a reason why in the West this is not tolerated.. You go to driving school and you drive properly just like regular automobiles.. Only In Asia the law is completely ignored when it comes to motorcycles or scooters. Yep that this car that probably did not see the bike cuz he was in a blind spot hit the motorcycle then all sudden it's the automobile's fault. Stupid is as stupid does.. He should be thankful the bushes were there. -

Solar panels to charge EV directly?
Every year they have a solar car challenge race in Australia. Custom cars some built by students travel hundreds of Klm at decent speeds. I hope you find a way to power you car like they do. Good luck. -

International Driving Permit from Surat Thani.
I could be wrong, but I remember being told a few years ago that one can only obtain an IDP at the LTD office in provincial capitals, not district offices, using only a valid Thai driver's license. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
This is a non sequitur and not particularly accurate about the facts.Thailand has a poor record on tax collection as this World Bank report makes clear. https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/099052523201010405/pdf/P17715700c42070140a5b009c8453acd7a6.pdf As to the specific case of TRD's capability to trace use of foreign credit cards paid off with offshore funds (whether assessable or non assessable), this is so remote a contingency as to be discounted completely.The legal requirement is a different matter and I shall certainly be declaring this kind of expenditure oin my tax return. -

Surprised no reaction from BYD owners on this forum
Enlightened consumers, supply & demand, pricing & completion ... we'll see what the next 5 yrs does to the market. Should be interesting. Myself, just a spectator, as don't need any more transport. Think I scratched the idea of a truck, as just a bit too frivolous, and impractical. Maybe if younger, and just arriving to TH. After I crap out, wife won't have a real use for it, and 1M in the bank, is better than a pittance in the carpark, in say 5-10 (longer hopefully) years, along with yearly costs just to insure it. -

Phuket Tourism Worries Mount Over Climate Change Impact
Phuket tourism operators are increasingly anxious about climate change's tangible consequences, affecting both Thailand and key tourist source markets through severe weather and flooding. Thaneth Tantipiriyakij, president of the Phuket Tourist Association, highlights that flooding has become an annual occurrence in several areas, including Kata, Karon, and Kamala. This year, landslides in Kata and Karon tragically resulted in foreign fatalities, while recent floods submerged roads in Kamala, causing inconvenience and traffic disruptions. Thaneth notes that despite anticipating 500 billion baht in tourism revenue, surpassing pre-pandemic levels, Phuket's infrastructure struggles to cope with increasing tourist numbers. He expresses disappointment over the central government’s lack of action on improving water management and urban infrastructure. Virintra Papakityotsaphat, president of the Tourism Council of Phuket, underscores the critical risk posed by climate-induced natural disasters. She advocates for enhanced governmental regulations, particularly against illegal constructions obstructing floodways. This would help prepare infrastructure to better withstand such events. On a broader scale, recent global weather incidents, such as Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, which recently hit Florida, illustrate the wider climate impact. These events disrupt travel plans, with airlines cancelling numerous flights, potentially deterring tourists from travelling to Thailand during peak seasons. However, Virintra remains optimistic about Phuket’s diverse tourist base, attracting visitors from Russia, Europe, India, and China. Siripakorn Cheawsamoot, deputy governor for marketing in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa at the Tourism Authority of Thailand, adds that while the US travel market might experience short-term effects, Thailand aims to welcome at least 1 million US visitors this year. Furthermore, the Tourism Authority is focusing on promoting Thailand as a sustainable, eco-friendly travel destination, reported Bangkok Post. Picture courtesy: MGR online -- 2024-10-12 -

How about stay in your lane.. And just perhaps the driver didn't see him because of how you thai bike riders love to swerve in and out..
