KhunBENQ Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 3 hours ago, ratcatcher said: In the same way Jerusalem is near the Mediterranean? Pai 35 km from Myanmar border (linear distance). Jerusalem about 50 km from the Mediterranean. Another very sad story. As you see you can be killed just standing on the side of a road. Blind, careless drivers everywhere.

ZeVonderBearz Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Pai's walking street is the only one I've seen where cars, busses, pickups, songtaews and motorbikes still drive up and down the street when everything is in full swing and jam packed with people. It's a joke of a place for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunderhill Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Those new driving licence rules and speed cameras will stop all of this, clearly speed and no licence was the cause, sheer inattention had nothing to do with it, not that any Thais want new rules or even old ones or any enforcement after all its "not fair".

Jeremy50 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Israeli media reports, not Hebrew media reports. '' Israeli media reports written in Hebrew' would be OK. A sad tragedy in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
