I was absolutely mortified at what I witnessed yesterday.
If any want to force Thais to wear crash helmets, why stop there? no comments on the appalling road design and lack of maintenance or even cleaning, no demands for them to wear a minimum of gloves ( only riders I saw wearing gloves were m'bike taxi drivers ), but preferably full body armour, and of course, not a whisper about fining parents that allow young children to ride m'bikes and especially with 4 of their friends on board, or the one in the OP, carrying a baby while riding one handed, as I saw myself on occasion. Why stop there anyway? Lets turn Thailand into another western <deleted> hole that we couldn't wait to get away from. Just don't mind the violence and crime that comes with it. -

The '50-50 Race' Pre-Election Polls Were Phony
I think there is a trade off on the forum. The winners are allowed to gloat , historically the election win was the GOAT. The losers are allowed to be extremely intolerant !- 1

I was absolutely mortified at what I witnessed yesterday.
The country is not free from state control, as evidenced by strict laws (we cannot discuss), defamation laws, and regulations on public behaviour, which highlight significant government oversight. None of which affected me in any significant way, unlike in the west where I am compelled to fence my swimming pool to protect bad parent's children, can't smack my naughty child and where wokeness is woven into the culture. While Thai people take pride in their cultural identity, it’s inaccurate to claim they universally reject Western influence. Sadly, Thais seem to have embraced all the worst aspects of western society including sugar and some incursion of wokeness. Thankfully they have not succumbed to allowing foreign ownership of land by individuals, or taking much if any interest in the western obsession with over regulation. improvement in safety culture will not impact 'Thai culture' as you see it. In your opinion. In mine it's the thin end of the wedge. Start with forcing Thais to wear a crash helmet and it ends with a western clone. -

Dipped below 800k for money in bank method
decided that after this coming year, I will stop maintaining 800k baht in a bank. I like thailand a lot. but you know, there are many other places in the world where you can live on less than 1000 usa dollars a month. PI, vietnam, cambodia, malaysia, indonesia, etc. EVEN japan if you don't mind living in a share house. after this coming year, I will just stay in thailand on their 60 day visa free option. I hear you can even do them back to back at least twice a year with no issues. lots of my friends do this. come to thailand twice each year. if you do it 3 times, thats 6 months. japan has 90 days visa free which you can do twice each year. back to back too. in PI you can stay an entire year by just paying 250 usa dollars each year in extension fees. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Your hostity towards the Ukrainian defenders is truly nauseating. Demagogue grifter Trump has already backed off from his obviously insane campaign promises. -

Do you wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Thailand?
Light colored ventilated mesh jacket with back and elbow pads from Paddock at Huai Kwang, Bangkok .... not expensive, but probably only good for low speed tumbles, but the reflective finish helps keep me cool .... ish. -

Your poll is lacking. You aren't capturing the aseannow members who wear a helmet and are still double masking against covid while riding. -

Trumpy-nomics -- "fixing" an economy that is already great. What could possibly go wrong?
Not talking about the election. Talking about what we're getting.
