Tourist Hits Pattaya Street Sweeper, Attempts to Flee but is Captured by Bystanders
I walk a lot in Pattaya. And there are places where you have to act like a WWI fighter pilot in a biplane with your head on a swivel to avoid getting maimed. It always amazes me the morons who walk down Soi Buakao side by side 3 deep with their backs to traffic. -

Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand
Absolutely correct. In all the years I have been here, I have never seen anyone pulled over for speeding or recklessness. Get the useless highway patrol to actually patrol the highway. How about 30 days in jail, for any highway patrolman found in an office, instead of out there on the highway? Roadblocks accomplish very little, except clog the highways. It is a lazy approach. If I decide to cut you off on a highway, when you are going 120kph, and I am making a u-turn, and there was plenty of room behind you for me to make a safe turn, is that an error, if it results in a horrific, fatal accident, and I take the lives of you and your family? Sometimes an error is wearing white after Labor day at a formal event in New York City. And sometimes an error is invading Russia before the oncoming winter. What if I waited four seconds for the highway lane to be completely clear, rather than just barge into it now, and risk everything? I don't make the kind of errors that result in bad accidents, much less fatalities. Why? Because I am very, very careful on the road, and very, very respectful of other drivers, their lives, and those of their families. That is a choice that results in NOT making very many terrible mistakes. It most certainly has something to do with the inability to visualize. Neither the future, nor the hypothetical. What will happen in this scenario? What about this? What about that? What are the inherent risks involved in piloting my bike, car or truck onto the safety lane of a major highway, in the wrong direction, with big trucks coming at me at 100kph? Or onto a lane of a major highway, with oncoming traffic going 120kph? Is it worth sacrificing my life, or my ability to walk for the rest of my life? How will my death affect my kids? Hold on, what about the lives of my wife, kids and sister who are in the vehicle with me, and I am responsible for their safety. Wow. That would be a big loss. An entire family. Maybe I should act like an adult, and be prudent and careful. I don't think many Thais ever ponder thoughts like this. Why, I can't imagine. It is likely something we will never understand about their nature. I often like to say the best way to understand these differences in attitude and intellect, is to realize Thailand is NOT a foreign country. It is a distant planet. -

Thailand’s debt drive: Putting the brakes on cars and homes
Also the same with all the easy loans on properties and mainly condo's, the same milking machine, Thais all bought to then rent them out for double or to simply not pay back except for the interest and see the difference as additional income. Bubble: *POP* -

Immigration System Overhaul Underway at Suvarnabhumi Airport
Yes, believe it or not. Have rarely, if ever, had a problem with them especially in recent years. My last entrance was very pleasant... the lovely young lady was most smiley apologetic on realising her error when asking how many days I'd be staying, having previously seen that I was on an ext' of stay. When I said 365, it tickled her pink. It was so gratifying that I was nearly tempted to ask for her LINE. I guess it depends who you meet and what kind of day they're having, and if the imm officer finds themself staring at an unkempt, loud, tattooed & ancient wife-beater-wearing whitey. 😋
