Bangkok Taxi Driver Faces Backlash for Not Using Meter
And I think 50/50 is fair accusation - but its down to individual experience.... thus your correction is as flawed for the very same reasons you question the comment itself. IMO: In central Bangkok in the day time: It used to be about 30% trying to scam us... now in my experience its about 70%... In central Bangkok in the day time: It used to be about 30% trying to scam us... now in my experience its about 50%... By 'central Bangkok, I mean area's such as: - Khoa Sarn Road Area - Siam / MBK area - Central World - Asoke Area - Nana Area - Ekammai up to Asoke - Sukhumvit Soi 11 (after 10pm 100% of drivers will scam high 3x rates) - Rajamangala stadium after an event (100% of drivers will scam extortionate rates asking for 1000 Baht) - Bitek after an event (100% of drivers will scam extortionate rates) - Impact Area after an event (100% of drivers will scam extortionate rates) Out of town obviously less scammers more honest taxi drivers.... (as per my example - Suk 71 seems to be fare fewer scam attempts). -

Bombshell:Dem Convention Protests for Palestine
No, I am unfortunately used to hearing pure, old-fashioned hatred of Jews masquerading as anti-Zionism. Below are examples of the rhetoric you hear at every pro-Palestinian demonstration. Does anyone want to tell me the two in the video don't hate Jews? I would bet both of them are in Chicago right now. vderESNWdW3VviEh.mp4 -

At the very least, without laws the country will look wild and untamed, and this will scare away tourists and their money. -

Harris speaking is like listening to fingers on an old chalk board. The tone is awful. -

The Curtain Falls: Russia’s YouTube Ban and Its Impact on Society
Well, Russians can still use VPNS but most won't especially older people. Also as far as Russian youtube creators with google accounts in Russia, those accounts have been closed, so they are fully demonitized. Only relevant to Russia based youtubers with outside Russia audiences as there has been no monetization inside Russia for a long time. They of course have in Russia alternatives with regime participation for the likes of Z icon Shaman. -

Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya
Those YouTube Channels are already out there.... There are also Facebook Pages dedicated to the idiocy witnessed on Thailands roads (by Thai's and foreigners) https://www.facebook.com/groups/1014566385582946 But to be fair - every country has the same groups and much the same stupid stuff can be witnessed.... At least there is far less agression on the roads in Thailand, give or take the odd complete meltdown (as we see with this story). In the UK recently some guy went bonkers at me as I was driving down the road along a row of parked cars... clear on my side, the parked cars were on his side of the road but he expected me to give way.... Which I happily would have, but as we'd approached at the same time I fully expected him to yield... he didn't and pushed his way through, was waving his arms shouting at me.... etc... ... he seemed so mad I had to question my own sanity and wonder what mistake I'd made... But none - he just had no idea it should have been him that was to give way as the obstruction was in his half of the road (his left / my right). People just get mad so easily - but so do I when someone puts my family in danger through their utter stupidity. I got mad a policeman when coming in from the airport a few years ago. He pulled over the AOT van on the expressway - I was telling the driver to ignore the policeman and take the next exit, stopping on the expressway was way to dangerous (with wife and child in car).... the driver didn't listen, the policeman ignored me.... ...Turns out the policeman took 200 baht fine, the reason unclear, but something to do with the van (AOT Toyota commuter) not being permitted to drive in the right most lane on the motorway / expressway - which Id never heard of before)... But I didn't care - stopping on the motorway was such a no-no... but in these cases logic simply cannot prevail. -

The truth is as pure as a drop of dew. But do not hang everything on the Thais, this is true for almost all southern people. I lived on different continents. On the other side of the globe, 80% of southerners drive just as badly or even worse. I know a place (and it is on the other side of the planet) where the drivers are even worse than here. But both there and here they are united by the opinion that you wrote. Are they right? Hell NO! And we see it in the road death statistics.
