Electric Vehicles in Thailand
That protruding bolt in that Sealion pic or even the protruding bol shown in my Atto pic are "not" close to a person's feet UNLESS the person is trying to jam his feet up under the dash and way behind the pedals. And I just went out to my Atto and tried touching those protruding bolts I showed in my Atto pic by sticking my feet behind the pedals and they upwards to where my toes could feel/touch those bolts. I could just barely feel them....they did not bit/snag my toes....and I would be crazy to try to drive that way with my feet behind the pedals and pushed upwards to reach those bolts as I surely wouldn't get far before having an accident. -

Are we really better than the Russians, Indians, Arabs and Chinese in the eyes of Thais?
Thais in general (like most nationalities) view themselves as being in a higher social category than other nationalities, although even they see differences in social status due to skin color or location of the country. Im not referring to hi-so's in this statement as thats a separate issue. While I agree with some things you say about some posters being racist toward some nationalities there is also some truth to the reasoning behind it. I think for me the tourist, regardless of nationality, that conducts themselves inappropriately is the main reason for dislike by Thais and others. The manner in which many tourist dress and act in public would be looked at the same in many countries. The foreigners that conduct themselves like they are entitled to act foolish and ignore any type of etiquette because they are on vacation are a large part of the problem. There are certainly cultural differences that come into play as well. I have a Cafe so see people from everywhere and while most are fairly normal, there are absolutely some differences in culture that come thru without any ill intent and then there are those that it is understandable why people would view them in a very negative manner. Myself, Im a racist on trump and other dictatorial leaders but dont really have issue with any specific nationalities. Just thought I would throw that out there to head off a couple of trolls and save them the time and effort to post. -

Overstay: Where to surrender yourself?
You are missing the point, richard. Cases like this compound over time and do influence things like policy making (90 day reports being a great example, why do you think they have that regulation on the books?)... These small microaggressions add up and slowly change the way Thais view and treat farangs in general. And Swiss david supposedly kicked the doctor in the back (without any concrete evidence) down in Phuket, not Hua Hin. -

Pickup Truck Crash in Sattahip: One Injured, Streetlights Damaged
I mentioned it in the OP, because under Thai law, the destruction of government property is a separate offense. Covered under Chapter 7: Offence of Mischief, in the Thai penal code, with the maximum punishment set in section 360.. -

Here's what happens when the world's richest man buys the presidency
Where is your source of truth? The member is correct The Social Security trust funds are invested entirely in U.S. Treasury securities. Like the Treasury bills, notes, and bonds purchased by private investors around the world, the Treasury securities that the trust funds hold are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government https://www.cbpp.org/research/social-security/understanding-the-social-security-trust-funds-0#:~:text=The Social Security trust funds are invested entirely in U.S.,credit of the U.S. government. -

Starmer Defends Decision to Deny Compensation for Waspi Women Amid Backlash
The breakdown consists of 1. The £10 Billion given to the NHS in pay rises 2. £12 Billion to Africa for Climate Change Crap. That £22 Billion was just an initial down payment, the taxpayer will be adding to that on an annual basis, how high it goes is anyones guess.
