Tourism Confidence Falters; Calls for More Government Support Rise

[dlclark97]

“Operators of these vehicles are required to bring them for inspection at Land Transport Offices nationwide, free of charge.”

Operators will voluntarily bring their vehicles for inspection?  Wishful thinking!

Once inspected, how will they be visually identified as having been inspected?  Windscreen sticker?  New option for scammers to make a few baht, counterfeit stickers available soon.  Inspectors stationed at all filling stations?  Some with their hands out before confirming compliance.  Road blocks (check points) and permanent markings in

vehicle registration books might help.

Well that will never happen... We've lived in other Asian Countries as well.. Such a shame and mind-blowing how they simply don't care how anyone or any vehicle is operated on any road way.  There's NO Law and order in Asia when it comes to Transportation Period. 

   Where do you start: No Driving license,

No proper Tag, No Insurance, No Noise level, No Passenger limit (7 on a bike or 25 in a 15 passenger van) No Driving In the wrong direction, No driving on the wrong side... I mean when you an ride your Suit Case on the highway (this litteray just happen google it) what does that tell you..  All I can say is 10 and 2 and drive safely my friend..

Well Singapore and Malaysia are in Asia  and i can assure you they have Law and Order when it comes to Transportation   so i think you need to get you facts straight

Yes and they are trying to improve 

The only improvement being attempted, is the flow of cash into personal bank accounts by those in charge.

No. It's not a start. It's just more reactionary BS to look good. Never happen in any meaningful way. TIT. Out of control bus crashes and kills 30  people. Brakes blamed. What happens? Nothing, apart from the driver being investigated/charged and money changing hands on the quiet. A true start will happen only when a progressive government is in control and hopefully can get rid of the endemic corruption in this country which starts at the top. 

Every journey starts with the first step 👍

Another idiot, useless crackdown.

thailand faces one major issue: corruption! regardless of the area that needs urgent improvement, deeply entrenched corruption,

often passively accepted by many thai people, obstructs progress.

 

thailand's biggest battle was and will be against corruption, as everything is interconnected. without addressing or at least reducing corruption, nothing will improve in the long term ...  it has nothing to do with a lack of education or not existing laws; it's purely about corruption!

 

It's not a lack of education that should be worried about  - it's the education the kids get IN corruption that implies it's a way of life here that is the worrying thing!

You are correct,  it is a way of life here,  "its the norm" and without a massive culture change nothing will happen, Thais will just carry on

You criticize me for accusing Thai's of corruption, but here you are agreeing it is the norm. Contradiction in a very short time! In an argument, you need a very good memory to stay on the same track, not to just agree or disagree at will to suit the occasion.

Many personal attacks removed, along with replies.

If you want your posts to remain please be polite and civil at all times.

And if they don't, then what? No mention of how this will be enforced to ensure compliance. In other words just another toothless bureaucratic reaction and nothing changes. TiT.

DLT urged the Education Ministry to avoid using CNG or LPG vehicles for field trips until safety checks are complete

What about all the firebomb CNG and LPG taxis? Let's see the DLT make a similar proclamation.

Mandatory mechanical inspection after 23 people tragically died of the faulty system on the bus?

 

Better be.

For the safety of any future passengers.

As well as the poor souls lost...
