Popular Post chooka Posted September 4, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Thailand the whole world is laughing at you. Close the bloody thing and fix it. It is very obvious that it is broken and doesn't work and if you can't see that then you definitely don't deserve to be part of the global community. If all your engineers bought their degrees at university and are just simply dimwits then save some face and hire a few external ones who can fix it for you. Chew faster people we need more gum.

Sung Ham Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Remember the over loaded truck scam, where trucks could buy a 3 day 'license' from the Highway police that ensured they would not be weighed. Perhaps there's similar happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chooka, with the Thais attitude to themselves and that the rest of the world doesn't really exist and certainly doesn't matter do you think they don't realise that this does get reported outside of the country in travel publications, on TV travel shows and the like or just don't care. Don't worry TAT will kiss it all better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whybother Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 All will be fixed when they put the high speed trains in .... Well, one line, anyway. Bad luck about all the other lines. They'll have to wait until the country can save up another 2.2 trillion baht. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisico Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Of derailments, maintenance and Thainess, etc. Maintenance = according to Thainess. Only after something is broken and it's absolutely necessary to save face Derailments = a component of Thainess Selective justice = see above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purushanti Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Could these derailments be due to some shifting, some stretching, of the earth itself? In which case, not due to human failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
