My first thoughts after this tragedy was of poor maintenance and its allowance by officials to let it happen due to bribes. Thais do not see the bigger picture when you facilitate vehicle examinations for under the table payments. -

Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
I enjoy the convenience of aiming my phone at the QR code at Makro to pay for my purchase. There are still some things I DON'T want immigration sniffing around in, so I always bring back just under $10k USD cash during my annual family visit. I don't have to report that amount to either country. Like Walz is fond of saying, "Mind your own damned business." -

Kim Jong Un Warns of Nuclear Retaliation Against South Korea
This is what happens when they hear the same type of rhetoric from Russia. They follow suit. Exactly why Iran needs to be stopped before it also has nuclear weapons otherwise the world will be held to ransom by these scum. -

Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
Well said Sir. When I mention it to the ostriches with their head in the sand I am told to adjust my foil cap. Until I explain the analogy of thirty people paying 50 pounds cash for services there is still 50 pounds there. Whereas when people pay with cards etc, the banks take a percentage so eventually the bank owns the 50 pounds. Plus, as you say, once everyone is cashless (as the WEF want), the banks can charge you what they want. -

Corruption scandal hits the gutter would be a more appropiate headline. -

Corruption scandal hits the brakes: Thailand’s bus industry whistleblows dirty dealings
First everyone knows there is corruption everywhere in the Thai government and their system. From this story change the system to inspection and how payment is made twice a year! I guess collected money is more important than anything. Im not into growing government but Thailand system on the surface " honor system doesnt work " Having laws and regulations with zero enforcement doesnt work never has. Unannoumced inspections doubt and heavy penalties is your greatest weapon. You go in flash your badge run through the operation from top to buttom woth an oversight system in place to check the inspector and their bosses. -
