Why do they never stop at Zebra Crossings?
seajae replied to Robert_Smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
they are too arrogant and do not like to stop anywhere, you see it every day on any road, they know the police will not do anything and they are too lazy to change gears more than they have too. Red lights mean nothing to many thai road users as they do as they please, many have no idea of the road rules and simply ignore tham if they do, they think they are number one and everyobe else has to let them do what they want but it all boils down to their arrogance/self importance. Until such time as thai police actually do what they are paid for it will continue with the police themselves being big offenders, the road laws in Thailand are a joke at best as hardly anyone obeys them nor are they enforced, again because the police are too lazy to do it. -
hahahahahah, rusted on democrats trying to stir sh*t because they hate trump after losing the election, shows how pathetic they really are, its just one giant dummy(pacifier) spit for the poor darlings, they need to to go lie down and have a good cry now, hahahahahahaha, waiting for them to come up with another BS investigation on him, even the documents that were seized in the raid on his home have been returned because it was a false accusation set up by democrats, what a joke they really are

Security Guards and their whistles.
seajae replied to Robert_Smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
we went out for dinner the other night and when we were parking on a side street in front of other cars on the outside of a buildings fence on the public road we had a security guard start blowing his whistle telling us we were not allowed to park there. There were no "no parking" signs at all, he just thought they owned the public road outside their fenceline, we were at least 3 plus metres away from the entry as well, I got rather upset with the idiot and told him so, explained it was a public road and they didnt own it but my wife ended up moving because she is old fashioned thai and doesnt like upsetting anyone. Some of these security guards tend to get a bit full of themselves and think they have the rights to tell everyone else what they can and cant do so they blow their whistles just to show everyone how big they think their appendage is and to make themsleves look important when they are not. -
while I dont refer to us as farangs when talking I do use farang when writing as its what we are called by the locals, I dont take offence to it at all unless said with venom, its usually said in driendly spirits. Words do not always have negative feelings attached to them, I do not use farang as an insult and never would, I actually have several other words I can use if I wanted to insult someone, really think some people just have very thin skin if they take offence at slang, yes it can be said to be derogatory but mostly not.

Last night my wife told me that a barge sunk yesterday and the company has lost over 600,000 baht in material, apparently the barge owner ignored warnings of extremely high seas and sent the loaded barge out of the port, it was swamped by the waves and sunk. The barge is worth over 1 million baht and it is estimated it will cost around 2 million to salvage it as it cannot be left where it is, luckily no one was injured but in the owners greed for profits he had stopped paying insurance so will be totally out of pocket himself for it all plus he will also be responsible for covering the cost of the lost material but my wife said her company may let him off with the replacement cost. The local port is in the river and as some of the bigger container ships cannot enter they need to anchor in the gulf in the deeper section as depth of the water is fairly shallow(around 30') which is why the barge has to be salvaged, looks like this is going to bite the owner on the bum after his greed for profits has had him cutting all the corners he could to increase his take, I couldnt stop laughing when she told me, he has been letting his barges deteriorate for years to save on renovation costs, last year he was forced to fix some major problems with them after they started falling apart and now this has happened, greed has really come back on him hard.

Anyone on a ketogenic diet whilst living here in Thailand?
seajae replied to advancebooking's topic in The Wellness Zone
I did the keto diet a few years ago, dropped 15kg but when I did my annual blood test there were a few problems due to the requirements of the keto diet so I had to stop doing it, maybe if I was younger and was able to be more active it would have been ok but unfortunately I had no option but to stop doing it. -
cat was de sexed and stayed mainly inside or in our yard, the only thing I have ever seen it kill was gecko's, the open area with all the rubber & palm oil trees has rodents and snakes with fish in the open gutter, never seen birds on the ground plus the cat had a bell on its collar so tinkled when it walked meaning birds would have heard it, made sure he wasnt a danger to them.

Surge in Travel Demand Sparks 15% Increase in Thai Hotel Rates
seajae replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
this is Thailand, ripping off farangs is mandatory, all they see are the profits they can get then when their greed causes less people to use them they whinge, low & high season rates are used around the world but banging on extra rates to enhance profits after a slow down shows the greed of the thais. Maintaining fair rates that would ensure a longer term of usage by visitors they push up profit margins causing a shorter usuage period and they end up losing money instead, shows their pathetic brain set -
My wife is totally devastated, we buried our cat yesterday, he was killed by a pack of dogs from the factory 100 metres away,(the other side of a rubber tree & palm oil area), no fencing and the dogs just roam where they want to. To say I was incensed would be an under statement, I wanted to kill all of the dogs involved, the fact Thailand has no laws about these dog packs roaming free sucks big time plus the fact thais dont care what they do is pathetic. I have 4 dogs and they stay in our yard(1 rai) unless they are on theirn leash but too many thais just let their dogs run free because they dont want to have to clean up after them or in many cases feed them, one of our dogs was a puppy from the factory that wandered over to our house a few years ago, she is that friendly it isnt funny and used to play with the cat, they would even sleep together. Unfortunatey the majority of thais dont have any regard for pets/animals, they dont feed them regularly, dont bath them or take care of them, they just let them wander and do as they please, the anger I feel at what these dogs have done due to how the factory owners lack of responsibility is immense, I have never seen my wife so upset and I am fighting the urge to remove the dogs permanently. I realize this is just a rant but the devastation my sife is suffering is making it very hard for me to think rationally.

Credit to Donald Trump, LGBT’ is over. Someone Tell the BBC
seajae replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The LGB community is well accepted , there life, their choice, the problem is the trans groups that try to push their gender preference onto everyone else. There are only 2 sexes, male & female and these cannot be changed, this is scientific fact, men do not have internal female body parts, they cannot get pregnant, they cannot have menstruation etc, females claiming to be male are still female so trying to claim that them being pregnant shows men can have babies is a load of bunk. I have no problems with gay people and respect their choices, I also have no problems with those that live as the opposite gender, the problem is those that demand they be accepted as the opposte gender and that they have the same rights as that gender and be referred to as that gender. They are still the original gender they were born as, having gender dysphoria does not give them any special treatment, what Trump has done males this law, it doesnt detract from the gay community only those that are pushing their activist BS. -
the reason is in the meaning, traveller can be the driver/one opertaing it, passenger is not the one driving or operating it: also their is no mention of the gender of the person meaning it is for both male & female showing that the removal of it for being gender specific is total BS passenger noun [ C ] uk /ˈpæs.ən.dʒər/ us /ˈpæs.ən.dʒɚ/ Add to word list A2 a person who is travelling in a vehicle but is not driving it, flying it, or working on it: airline/rail/train/car passengers passenger train a train carrying people rather than goods:

unfortunately many thais have no regard for their animals, I ave seen it many times over the years, they do not want to take care of them a t all and prefer to let them wander the streets to get food and crap where ever they want exept in their own yards., There are many that do do the right thing, feed them properly, walk them and bath them but they are in the far greater minority. At our other house near the lake there were that many stray dogs constantly there it wasnt funny, the dogs get into all the rubbish ans as many thais just throw their garbage on the ground it was soon spread everywhere. The cruelty is also there for everyone to see, kicking dogs or using sticks on them, I have seen cars swerve to try to run over them as well, they simply have no regard for the animals at all nor do they want to take responsibility for them, much easier to let them roam

Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
seajae replied to kwilco's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
really, as far as we all know you may well have your hand on it as well. Thai drivers/riders in general are not the best, many have no idea of the actual road rules, at the video training during licence renewal all of them are too busy on their phones and not watching, they are not interested in what the laws are. Their learner driving is pathetic at best, our daughter did 1 week of driving around an enclosed track, drove on an actual road for an hour or so and was given a licence, she had no idea at all how to do a lot of basic driving skills, the questions were multiple choice after a couple of hours of reading them without actually understanding what they meant plus no one was failed for getting them wrong. Many riders/drivers are unlicensed, they refuse to follow the rules because it doesnt suit them, they drive the way they want, they drive the opposite way on roads, they overtake on double lines/blind corners, they cut right turning corners forcing oncoming cars off the road, they overtake into oncoming traffic flashing their lights to say they are not going to give way, they drive through red lights a lot, they do not give right of way, they just stop in the lane they are in to go into a shop, they pull out in front of other cars to get where they want to be forcing the cars to stop, they think being "rich" or driving an expensive car gives them the right to do as they please, many are arrogant and simply refuse to let others get in their way. The police do not enforce road rules and only go out to get tea money, you may or may not be what you claim but you also show you are an appologist for the poor driving in this country. There are some good drivers/riders in Thailand but the greater majority are not among them. I have been driving for over 50 years, cars, bikes, trucks, busses, heavy equipment as well as service vehicles, I understand road safety very well and have never caused an accident, thais do not have the same driving sense, while some of what you say is correct trying to take the blame away from the poor driving skills/mentallity of thais is a white wash as is calling anyone pointing out how bad they are as being racist. You really need to pull your head from where you have stuck it, your summations are in your head only and not fact, I am calling BS on your claims.
