Alternatively, it is easier to deny it's in Pattaya than to do anything.

Despite, or because, he was heading towards a traffic light, a high-speed collision took place. Thai drivers will empty their tank to get one place in front of you at a red light they didn't see, until they were 30 metres away.

I don't recognise any of the background in the video so maybe the police are right? (There's a 1st!)

Eighteen of them rushed to the scene by ambling out of the front door.

It's an old picture from the last time they had a crackdown.

There is outrage, rightly, about the (likely) number of deaths in the earthquake skyscraper collapse and an investigation into the possible sub-grade steel used. Yet figures suggest that the numbers missing are merely two days'-worth of road casualties. Yet there is no outcry about the lack of policing that is responsible for the majority of these incidents.

And all because RTP in Pattaya are non-existent. Lax law enforcement is responsible for the majority of the daily road deaths/injuries.

Meanwhile on the roads, at least another 40 people were killed.

How does accepting police corruption make my life better? How does it make problems go away? Rose coloured glasses make you see no evil; accepting it is condoning it. 'You must have experience. A professional I would say.' A professional what? Experience of what?

'The House of David' (him with his mate Goliath.) I like a costume drama and this seems to have been well researched regarding the historical period. Could do without the wailing songs in Hebrew!

From jealous club owners nearby, Laughable that the RTP have to justify their existence. Gottfrid - QED.

Well, he's called Mr. Big Top which is where clowns work.

Gottfrid - QED.

Those rose-coloured glasses prevent you seeing the wider picture; you are focused on this one case. Almost weekly there are reports of police inactivity being reported on Social media sometimes resulting in police being forced out of their air-conditioned offices to do their job. Observe their diligence on the (now) 14 Dangerous Days in the year when they get overtime for staring at their phones by the roadsides. My comprehension is not aided by your final question.

Indeed I think they do - I think agents are on commission. They went along with the crooked policeman's version of events as it was easier. You underestimate the fear that bent cops generate in society; my (ex)wife paid up rather than chance my visa/marriage going up in smoke. One day your rose-coloured glasses will slip off and you will view RTP for what they are like most contributors here in my gang.
