I have not heard of any Premier of Thailand yet I hear it mentioned frequently. Is there someone else of equal importance to Prime Minister Prayut? Surely not! Could someone please tell the National News Bureau of Thailand there is NO Premier of Thailand. Fools that they are. http://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/detail/TCATG190715152656270 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to check if a driver is drunk without stopping every car. It's easy to spot a speeding car. Speed kills yet Thai police continually fail to curb the speedsters. Every day they fail to do this, 60+ people (mainly Thais) die + the severe life changing injuries and grief for the families and friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Thailand, if its their time, its their time, Its preordained. Which would explain why they don't care about safety, seatbelts, child car seats, or helmets.

ubon farang Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 He might as well tell the buffalo in the fields not to drink drive. That is how much the people listen here The laws may be in Thailand but the people dont obey and the keystone cops dont enforce them Carry on Thailand drink plenty of booze and do some drink driving Its fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaiyen Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thais will never stop drinking ! Its up to the cops to stop them and prosecute. Asking them on the internet means nothing. Most of the idiot would never look at the internet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's what he really meant? PM calls on motorists to not drive under the influence of alcohol during the long holiday. Hic! No..... that's not what he meant. He meant for motorists not to drive too long while under the influence of alcohol during the holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't explain how they might feel upon waking up in hospital, minus a limb, or paralysed. or dribbling like an idiot, like a cabbage, (although some would say there's plenty of those without accidents), knowing that somebody they loved did die horrifically in the same accident, that they might have to pay compensation, (fat chance), can't claim insurance because they were DUI - and possibly other ponderables that might go through their thick heads in a hospital bed?
