      Do you drink drive?

      This is as dumb as the seatbelt or helmet argument - never used it, never needed it... The cognitive disconnect highlights a very simplistic stupidity. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other agencies: Global Statistics: It's estimated that around 20-30% of all road traffic deaths worldwide involve alcohol. This varies significantly by region; in some areas, alcohol involvement may reach or exceed 50% of road fatalities. Annual Estimates: Globally, about 1.35 million people die each year due to road accidents. This means 270,000 to 405,000 deaths can be linked to drink-driving annually. Non-Fatal Injuries: The number of injuries related to alcohol-impaired driving is even higher. For every death, there are several injuries and instances of long-term disability. Globally, road accidents lead to around 50 million injuries annually, with a notable proportion related to alcohol use. Regional Variations: Countries with strict drink-driving laws and effective enforcement tend to have lower alcohol-related accident rates. In contrast, regions with limited law enforcement and higher alcohol consumption rates see significantly higher numbers. So... to answer your dumbed down, over simplified and idiotic response... There are between 270,000 to 405,000 names that could be mentioned to answer your question... those are just deaths... a lot more maimed. Your implication that because someone has not yet had a drink driving related accident means its safe, is simply moronic and outrageously deluded to the point of sheer idiocy.

      Do you drink drive?

      A good point... I've friends who can resolve these issues very simply.... (Police guys)... They've helped on a few occasions when a friend was over the limit and got caught. The joke is that I never ask them for help, they ask why I don't drink & drive, they can help if I have an issue... They don't get the point... its the Police I'm bothered about - its hurting someone cos I was an idiot and drove drunk that bothers me (no matter how carefully I thought I may drive).

      Do you drink drive?

      I think the silent majority have stated their point well enough. Results are in line with what I expected. Because you tailored the poll - and didn't leave an option for... ... having one or two drinks and remaining within the DUI limit and drive. So there was no option for the many who may have a beer or two and drive. Its a valid point - Do you think two cans of beer over an place you over the legal limit to drive ? Its an irrelevant point if you are having 4 beers as there is a greater certainty that someone will be over the limit. We used to get the Police Turning up to the Bars with breathalysers and we'd have a go.... I've also tried the 'gadget' breathalyser, but doubt how accurate they are (about +/- 10% error I'd guess)... All fairly moot if someone is driving after 4 or 6 beers consumed over a couple of hours - they are drunk over the limit and impaired. If a normal size male has had just 2 beer (330ml cans of Singha for example) its very unlikely they are over the legal limit or impaired.

      Visa income observations and TIN application questions

      Like many have said, the Thai Tax office and Immigration are unlikely to be connected if ever. Most say "wait and see". For now they don't have a clue. Until it is clear and detailed, then do nothing. How will they, "who", know? and know what? I bring very little into Thailand each year and have 800k in Thai bank account since 2018. I do spend less than 180 days per year in Thailand but, at some point, I expect that immigration will want a TIN to get the annual Non-O extension. I'll wait until required.

      Do you drink drive?

      So you are admiting you 'could' have a minor collision (driving slowly as you do) and it will result in minor damage to your car... But what about the pedestrian or motorcyclist you hit ??? ... The collision may seem minor to you, but not to them..... Thats why you are selfish, you have not considered the others around you who may be impacted by your drunk driving.

      Do you drink drive?

      It was just a long winded rant to avoid the reality, avoid answering the question and to suit his narrative. I'll have a 330ml can of beer or two and drive or ride.... I won't have more than that. There isn't really a place in the poll for that.... But, MalolmB may be right - there are perhaps a lot more out there who think nothing of driving durnk, and by driving drunk I mean over the legal limit. Two can's of beer will / should not put me over the limit... My narrative is: IF someone knowingly drives while over the drink driving limit they are likely to be impaired - and that can have consequences. My narrative is: IF someone has 5 or 6 beers and drives, there is little doubt that they are impaired and have a greater chance of being involved in an incident that impacts other innocent people. My narrative is: trying to normalise this behavior is the remit of ayholes. IF MalcolmB - all you are doing is having two beers in an hour and driving home, its unlikely you are over the limit or impaired... If however, you are having 6 or 7 beers over a couple of hours, you are drunk and impaired - and no amount of 'careful driving' will change that fact.

      Must-Know Famous Thai Ghost Stories

      Agreed. Slightly OT but definitely linked - We westerners are the only group to DISbelieve in spirits. The story that there was a 'Big Bang' and space dust & debris somehow come alive as 'space jizz' and evolved into humans is even more far fetched than spirits, ghosts etc imho. Anyway, this guy has some interesting theories on Spirit Channelling and the fact that demonic clowns exist in almost if not ALL cultures - also some bits on Garden of Eden serpent Naga worship.

I go into 7-11 to buy a bar of soap for showering/washing my hands. I see the box for Asepsos, and the only English on the box says: "antibacterial soap." Great! I open the box back at my apt. and on the bar of soap, printed in perfect English: "For prickly heat and skin infections" with a slightly ominous looking safety symbol above the text...Is this stuff safe to use daily for showering/washing hands?

I've used Asepso now and then, it's OK, and I don't find the smell bad at all. Perhaps my nose has just gone TU from the wife cooking up pladek and peppers in the kitchen.

Intolerable??? You must have an extremely sensitive nose. I've used all the different varieties at some point and never noticed any strong smell. The soaps that do set my nostrils twitching are some of the perfumed varieties of some of the more expensive brands. Can't remember which but there's one that makes me sneeze just opening the pack. I use the Asepso Sport regularly, no problems.
