Transport Over 20 Speed Bumps Spark Public Outcry in Ratchaburi Village
This is precisely the issue we’re facing in our moobaan. Most residents drive with care - respectful of speed limits and mindful that children often play in the street. It’s a shared space, and fortunately the community is kind of middle-class, educated and generally behaves with consideration in mind. The problem lies with delivery motorcycle deliveries. They routinely swerve around the speed bumps to avoid slowing down, completely ignoring the intended purpose of those traffic-calming measures. In response, some residents placed flower pots at the edges of the bumps to block the bikes from swerving around the speedbumps - only to be told by the juristic committee that personal items aren't permitted on the road. Now, many of us are pushing to have the speed bumps extended fully across the road to eliminate these gaps altogether. Ironically, the only truly effective deterrent at present is when an adult physically stands in the street while the children are playing. Only then do the delivery riders seem to take notice and actually reduce their speed. We've had the security guards tell riders to go slowly - but this in instruction which they forget to pass on quite quickly - its an unreliable measure.... The only alternative was to ban delivery vehicles and have them deliver the rest of the way on foot - but clearly this was unpractical too. -

Economy Trump Dishes Out 36% Tariffs in Shock Move Against Thailand
Makes sense, everything imported in Thailand is over taxed, like imported cars are double price or more which is crazy, hopefully thais will reduce cute fee, it's time. I only wonder how Thai bath will react and most specifically THB/USD Is it safe to keep ur savings in THB or should keep some in dollar, I am thinking buying USDT/USDC Propabely BTC and bit PAXG which is Gold crypto. Will THB get rekt? Looks like it. https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/USDTTHB/?exchange=BITKUB&utm_source=androidapp&utm_medium=share -

Is private health insurance worth it for a long-term stay in Thailand?
While I have private insurance through my company, I realize that when I hit 70 I will probably be denied many treatments. Recently, a colonoscopy cost about 40,000, which I could have paid myself but used the insurance for. While these one-offs are not outside my means, I am concerned that as a diabetic, many future issues may become less available to me. My doctor advises prepare for the inevitable. -
