Bull***. Aren't masks worn to stop the spread of Covid . rather than to stop you catching it yourself ?

September 22, 20223 yr Popular Post The average Thai isn’t intelligent enough to workout risk factors or foresight. You need to scare them in order to get them to understand. Wearing mask is a good example.
September 22, 20223 yr Hmmm…. Probably because life is cheap in Thailand. They seem to have this idea that when they die they will return to a better life, so its not surprising. I suggest that Darwinian theory plays a part too?

They don't realise that they have lights to make themselves visible and its to stop other vehicles crashing into them as its neigh on impossible to see motorbikes in the dark when they done have any lights

Don't do this, they will only think you have mental health issues. You need to learn how to control your inner feelings and emotions, if you want to live in Thailand. If you do not have control over your mouth, you will not have control over your future. Your reactions are concerning. Take care mate

PH I cannot get any insurance at the moment except the compulsary kind. My 7 year Forza always had 1st class insurance, now I am told my insurance company does not insure bikes over 4 years old. So it is bye bye 1st class insurance. Now I just have to hope if I have an accident that is not my fault, the other party are legally on the road.
December 8, 20223 yr Depending on who you believe or how you count them, there are between 30 (reported by the Dept. of Rural Roads) and 60(Est. by WHO) traffic deaths in Thailand EVERY day. The ones you read about in the news just happened to be reported because of when, where or how they occurred. There are many more, every day that are not reported in the news, but the victims are just as dead.

Utter BS to suggest that every single vehicle on the roads in Thailand over 7 years old only has compulsory insurance. PH

PH Voluntary Insurance can be got for bikes up to 20 years, maybe not a full 1st class type but a choice of something better than just CTPL.
