No seat belt buckle in the back of the Taxi.
Just because you see 4 or 5 up on a motorcycle, 6 people in the flat-bed of a pickup, labourers sat on the roofs of lorries etc.... ..... does that mean your own health and welfare is an less devalued because others do it ??? I will not get in any taxi (or any vehicle) in Thailand (or anywhere else) without a seat-belt. I will not let my family get in any taxi (or any vehicle) in Thailand (or anywhere else) without a seat-belt. My risk tolerance is higher for motorcycles - but, won't ride without a helmet, gloves, protective jacket etc... (and no family at all on the bike)... But, at least I am in control and ride within risk (yes some nutcase could take me out - which is why I ride when only necessary and trust myself more than moto-taxi riders). I've seen taxi drivers do dangerous things... the worst.... I was 'stuck' in a taxi doing about 50kmh, centre lane of the expressway at about 3am... with cars screaming past at 120 kmh++ it was absolutely lethal... I suspected his poor eye sight and asked him to exit at the next exit and changed taxi's... I've had others who were drunk and / or driving like complete loons.... I'm not interested in being in any vehicle without a seatbelt if there should be a seatbelt... & of course, we can lower our 'standards' and take a tuktuk etc... but those are in congested area's and travel at far lower speeds.... (usually) - but I hardly ever take those either... Hardly worth of a thread - but given that the thread has been started, I'm with Bob on this one... there is no valid reason for the taxi not to have a seatbelt, they've just tucked away or cut off the stalks - in which case, just don't take the taxi... or get in the front. -

Undercover Tip Leads to Major Motorbike Theft Arrest
I remember one time in Cambodia the people caught a motorcycle thief red handed. They beat him to death and burned him by the road side! I guess that was well deserved!😆 -

U-Tapao Airport Scales Down Expansion Amid Rail Delays
I think they mean non-stop. High speed in Thailand would be really scary. Zero maintenance and zero understanding equals disaster -

Anti-vaxers kill child in Texas
You have to thank the governments around the world that pushed the newly untested mRNA vaccines that caused a lot of damage. I never doubted vaccines until C19. I do now. -

Backlash as Foreigners Give Monks a High-Speed Lift in Pattaya
I think at this point the vast majority would prefer we stay in our countries and wire them money each month without ever having to see us. -

A golden age is upon us: Trump brings back liberals from the dead
Actually unlike many partisans on this in this forum. I didn't count on a Democratic victory in 2020 or 2024. Of course right wingers have the advantage of me here. Not only did they mostly predict that Trump would win in 2024 but also in 2020. And they mostly still believe that their prediction for 2020 was correct!
