farang000999 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Offer taxi's with seat belts. They can have a higher fare. They will be recognized in some way, symbol/color etc. Put a garabge can on every soi corner. Put up electronic meters similar to Singapore that charge automobiles for driving in Bangkok, this will discourage traffic. Start purchasing open lots in Bangkok and turn them into parks. There are not enough Green areas in the city. Do not allow Children to be used for solitication of pedestrians. Get rid of the adult beggars while we are at it. The professional/mafia/serial offenders are easily identifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Yai Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Seat belts in a taxi? It will take decades until everybody will use helmets in motobikes. Non sense ,get the Police to rigidly enforce the law with a 500 baht fine, failure to pay with 7 days, automatic motorcycle confiscation .and it would take a matter of weeks .

surayu Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 What about introducing a new subject at school, like "civic education" or some means to let hem understand that every action have a comsequence after??? seems that many people think that for whatever they do, it will just end up there and go back to stare at the universe.....

IAMSOBAD Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Make adults responsible for their kids. Make adults responsible to their temple/religion. Make police responsible to...OH NEVERMIND...WILL NEVER WORK. What farang see as common sense...the locals dont even see. They have no reward for good deeds. Live for the moment mentality.

KNJ Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Fines for stopping to talk with friends immediately after they step off an escalator Pavements are for pedestrians not a free market extension of shop and its' wares Red lights mean STOP You don't have to chase young kids around trying to force feed them, sit them down if they are hungry they learn to stay seated Offer in Taxi's a card where the driver calls and can translate other languages to Thai A rubbish bin on every corner - would be nice, while we are at it would be good if 7/11 empties the ones outside their stores more often Bicycle lanes Remove the limitation on hours when alchohol can be bought in shop Stop sending policemen to "inactive postings" OK all pipedreams, but one which would really benefit. As per the system in Taiwan, have all stores with a cash register linked to a central server system, so that each receipt is given a unique lottery number ( no extra charge ) each month a 50 million Baht jackpot plus smaller prizes, all paid for by the tax department who now have records and collect requisite tax from those shops. The state wins and the individual winners of the lottery. Those who do not buy a POS machine linked in to system lose business as people do not get a chance to participate in the free lottery. A great system which would really benefot Thailand and its' people short and long term 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it would be great idea in Greece where Tax dodging is a national pastime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Put a garabge can on every soi corner. That's the easy part, then try to get everyone to put their garabage into a can. Reminds me of a story a mate told me about his in-laws in Surin. Getting fed up of seeing all the rubbish thrown around their yard he bought them a big blue bin to put it in. It got used for storing water, so he bought another one, another water storage bin, and another..... So he gave up and there's still a load of rubbish in their yard.

surayu Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 So he gave up and there's still a load of rubbish in their yard. I have witnessed this many times myself, for many of them not throwing the rubbish inside the bin, even if it's just under their nose, it's something they have in their DNA. I did even try to challenge some of them, the best answer you get is "mai pen rai", if the guilty ones are not just randoms but locals, playing the grumpy part seems to be effective, i couldn't care less if i am seen as a "jae lon" from the eyes of a sevage...
