Report Expat Confusion Grows as Thailand Cracks Down on Helmet Law Violations
As I thought, you don't understand the basic principles of road safety. In case of a crash the key factor is shock absorption.. if you don't understand this, you are missing the basic point. .in a car it is crumple zones airbags seatbelts etc. On a M/C it is down to tank design and the protective clothing (including the helmet worn by the rider and passenger. In a side car if the helmets laws aren't enforced, you have a problem right away. No-one is wearing a seatbelt and no part of the vehicle except the front fronts and tank have energry absorbing properties. Both rider and passenger(s) continue at the original speed of mpact with nothing to stop them except the protruding franes of M/C and sidecar - in Thailand the side cars are particularly lethal due to the metal tubing used in construction. -

Tips from anyone who’s travelled from Thailand to Latin America (Central/South America)?
I haven't been to the region in a very long time but before visited Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Uruguay very briefly, and Argentina. But I keep a watch on it. Overall as a generality yes crime is more of a concern in Latin America than Thailand. I would suggest not bothering with Costa Rica. It's gotten relatively very expensive for the region, crime is on the increase, and the food is among the most boring in the world. If looking for similar scenery probably Panama or parts of Colombia would be better. Didn't say purpose of the trip. If it's to scout out retirement and/or long term expat destinations the itinerary should be different than just for tourism. For example, if you're a foodie Peru is a big draw. I do have a very important tip. Research vaccine requirements between Latin American countries very carefully! I don't recall the details but I've seen a number of reports of people not knowing about yellow fever vaccine requirements and not being able to travel to their desired country. Or you could get the jab before going and then no problem. However not really so safe for older people. -

Crime Drunken Foreign Tourists Assault Thai Woman, Locals Step In with Brutal Response
No one got offended though You made a false claim and you got called out for it . It was you that mentioned Israel first and bought it to the discussion . Seriously, you state that it will come out in the next few days that they were Jews................then you follow that with saying you never claimed that . You aren't making a coherent point * They were Jews, but I never claimed they were Jews" No sense made there
