Ramdas Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) If only they would start to get rid of those old polluting buses, trucks, old veichels and whatever else on the roads, just to mention driving irresponsibly endangering everyone on the roads with lack of any driving training. The pollutions would slightly reduce but unfortunately there’s no action whatsoever take from the outhorities in every respect ☹️ Things are destined to get worse and irreversible, this country is unsafe for everyone in many ways ????????♂️ Edited January 25, 2019 by Ramdas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrunner Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 My wife and I plus our cats, birds and an unknown loving creature commute as needed between Pattaya and Ayutthaya. We don't get tickets, we get out of the way of idiot drivers and don't deal in smog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
