webfact Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Picture: Naew Na Naew Na reported that a special fast response unit had been set up by Ubon Ratchathani immigration to deal with people sneaking across the border illegally into Thailand. Main attraction of the unit was a BMW smart car that can race to the scene at the drop of a hat. The cars were introduced several years ago at great expense. Basically they have an internet connection to enable passports to be checked in situ. Immigration chief Pol Col Chatchai Samniang asked the public to call 1178. Then the smart car will race to the scene. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2023-03-20 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

In the jungle Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Not going to happen where I live. The smart car is broken and hasn't moved in at least a couple of years. It sits under a thick layer of dust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be faster than a Toyota, Honda, Isuzu or the like I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
