I'm here on Wongamat Beach, in Pattaya. Russians are everywhere. And if I walk down the street, I see Russian travel booths set up. II'm not sure about motorcycle or car rentals or weed shops. We have those kinds of businesses here in the neighborhood.
But if there are Russians running these businesses, what stops the Thai police from checking up on them? They seem to be operating out in the open.
Anyway, how many Thais speak Russian and can be guides for Russians here on vacation?
It's not my cup of tea, but neither is closing web portals because they host legal but disturbing graphics. If you don't want to watch, don't watch. I personally have no desire to watch people die.
Now on the other hand, Thai TV News shows the same type of graphic stuff daily in order to generate viewership. The only difference? They pixalate or blur the gory details. In reality, they are doing the same thing: Leveraging other's deaths to generate viewership.
One's "Bad" and the other is "Acceptable?" Get real. They both use the appeal of a common denominator.
To answer your Question NO will not be going to TRD and for people putting there heads in the sand at the moment that is the correct attitue as there is nothing cast in stone at the moment just assumptions
The do have lights at pedestrian crossings... According to comments on this forum: In Pattaya they turned them off because the cars were ignoring them anyway....
And yes... the BiB should be giving tickets - but when 20 motorcyclists without helmets are at a junction outside a Police Box and the police do nothing - then we can the true extent of the apathy towards enforcement of traffic regulations.
