January 17, 201313 yr LOL Chaos But in fairness, with that level of detail it sure passes as "organised chaos".
January 17, 201313 yr Recipe for disaster. Glad i moved away some time ago. Will be like a Mr Bean episode watching this unfold.
January 17, 201313 yr Well, the merchants spoke, and their servants quailed. Money talks, bullshit walks.
January 17, 201313 yr Can anyone suggest a good viewpoint for day one? Preferably coffee and a wifi connection for minute by minute updates on ThaiVisa.
January 17, 201313 yr Well, the merchants spoke, and their servants quailed. Money talks, bullshit walks. Spell checker messed up "wais"
January 17, 201313 yr Who's on first. The two old chaps from the balcony on The Muppet Show are booked.
January 17, 201313 yr There is no mention of Nimmanhamin being one-way. Does this mean the one-way experiment will only apply to the sois between Nimmanhamin and Sirimangkalarn?
January 17, 201313 yr Must admit, that until the other day I Assumed that what is soi 3 was actually soi 5. john You can die in Thighland of anything but Bordom.
January 17, 201313 yr Did I really read "Thailand," "traffic," and "enforcement" in the same paragraph?
January 18, 201313 yr "Chief of Traffic Police"......that's a 'challenging' job... ...I didn't know they had one..
January 18, 201313 yr The plan doesn't seem to have favorable reviews from the locals so far. The majority thinks it will be the "mission impossible".
