I told them a million times not to exaggerate.

 

i prefer driving in Thailand than Melbourne. In Melbourne they put speed cameras everywhere, if you go 5 kms over you cop a big fine.  It is over the top. 

I enjoy speeding when it is safe on an empty open road, in Melbourne you have sneaky coppers hiding in bushes with radar. 
 

I am guilty of having a few beers and driving, I have used my phone when driving, sometimes don’t bother wearing a seatbelt, sometimes can’t be arsed wearing the helmet on the bike, occasionally drive on the wrong side of the road. I have never caused an accident. 
Most of the foreigners here that I know have done the same. 
 

thai law enforcement is a bit slack, but Melbourne laws are way over the top and mainly about revenue raising. 

 

Only ever copped a parking fine in Phuket town. Paid out thousands living in Melbourne.

 

 

I too prefer the feeling of freedom and lack of safety here to the safety and lack of freedom in Europe. Maybe I'll change my mind when I or someone dear to me gets hurt, but I didn't move to Thailand to complain that it isn't a European police state.

So you post a flippant remark about road deaths, sick in my opinion, 1 death is 1 too many.

Myself only alive because of the skill/ care of doctors and nurses here.

Next time think first before you post.

 

What it takes to get people offended these days.

Back in 2011 the target was to reduce road death from 20 per 100,000 inhabitants to 10.

 

Instead it is now 29 per 100,000. 

 

So it increased by nearly 50% not doubled.

[French tourist arrested for alleged rape of British woman on Phuket after "Tinder" meeting]

Other news sites report that she had marks of restrains on her wrists, so it may not just be such a clear case of "Brit girl having second thoughts after the fact".

Not sure Thai police are quite that 'sympathetic' to women that visit men's bedrooms.

They usually delay, delay, delay until the woman gets fed up and goes home.

Then the guy is quietly released as the accuser isn't available to appear in court.

 

Hard to prove either way.

Thai police must have a special duty to UK citizens since the Ko Tao murders. 

[French tourist arrested for alleged rape of British woman on Phuket after "Tinder" meeting]

We can't know what evidence the police has to charge him and if the accusation is true or not, but it's a damn shame we can't bet on it.

The only argument of military-rule supporters was that those generals who confiscated the future of the Thai people are the only ones who can keep the country together, either because "Thailand is not ready for democracy" or "this our culture this is how we've always done". 

 

But even at governing they proved more disastrous than civilian governments. 

 

It's about time everyone acknowledged this institution is doing more harm than good to Thailand.

Same species, different colouring. ''A black panther is the melanistic colour variant of any Panthera, particularly of the leopard''

Yes I meant that leopards are usually solitary I believe, therefore rarely seen as a pair wandering around together. Perhaps it's a male and female about to or having just mated.
