Can I use my singapore driving license instead of a Thai?

Fortunately this spoilt brat didn't kill anyone.

The tsunami killed 10,000 in Thailand . Since the tsunami, almost 300,000 have died on Thai roads. It is very obvious that every potential traveler to Thailand should be warned about the dangers of visiting the country.

You are correct. The 26,000 number comes from international organizations that use internationally accepted methods of calculation. The official thai numbers are more statistics friendly, and only counts victims dead at the scene as fatalities. If you die in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, you are only counted as "injuried".
I believe that those statistics only relate to deaths at the roadside. If you die in the hospital or from injuries in the following days they are not counted. As well, many deaths in the remote regions of the north and in hill tribe districts are not even registered at all.Official number of road fatalities per year: 26000
Divided by 365: 71 a day. So using statistics, 58 deaths is pretty good.
There is obviously something very Thai going on.
However I stand to be corrected.

The Japanese are the best tourists. Polite, honest, clean and high spenders.

Prevent them from coming by introducing very strict visa rules for them.

Good news! This will send signals to other corrupt officials, not only the police, but much more needs to be done. But it's a good start.

This is a good chance for the new government to show what it's made of. Make a statement out of this guy, regardless who's son he is.

Wow! This is huge! If done properly, this will be a huge boost to Thailand. Thailand is famous for being "lawless" and the lawlessness has always attracted a lot of shady characters from overseas. I hope this will change.
One thing that is needed, is to get rid of all the useless police. EVERY police officer in Thailand should be tested with written exams and practical tests, to see who can do their job and who can't. The ones unfit for the job should be kicked out, demoted or sent back to police school.

Is this the way to take Thailand forward to become a first world country and meet the competition from neighboring countries?

On the verge of losing his job? He has to hurry back to the office, so that his punishment will be a transfer to another district. If he is tried as a civilian he will get a real punishment.
On a serious side, these kind of scum should be executed, like China has successfully done.

He does not match the quality tourist on a count of his tatoos.
6 tatoos are allowed but 100 not. The guy is smoking a joint in his house.
none of your business mr. Colonel. Leave the man alone !!!!
Haven't you got anything else to do?
Drugs are not tolerated in Thailand and should never be. If you don't like the drug laws here, then go back to where you came from. The Thais don't want drug advocates here.

He should be banned from Thailand for life, based on his looks only.

Penalties are too soft a and enforcement non-existent. They need to revoke the driving license permanently the third time and jail time.

"Thailand remain safe for traveling, Gen Worapang asserted"
unless you go to koh tao
...or you stroll down Thong Lor and get arrested for no reason.

One thing is needed, in the police reform; meritocracy. Each and every policeman should be independently tested physically, psychologically, and examined in terms of knowledge of laws, investigations, police procedures etc. All who flunk (probably more than 50%) should either be dismissed or demoted or suspended pending new a final attempt to retake the exams.
-
Yes, but people who drink and drive during this period should lose their car and go to jail. It will be the only way to make people learn.

Police state in the making.
A police state run by an honest police is much better than the near anarchy that has been in Thailand the last decades. This high flying guy thinks he is beyond the law or arrest, and hence the shock.

This is a big problem here, many of them carry guns
We have a saying. "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws have guns."
Which is not true. In singapore, where having an illegal gun carries the death penalty, there are no guns among the outlaws either.

Thailand would let a Cambodian cleaning lady married to a Thai man get a citizenship, while an
American top scientist married to a Thai woman would be denied. That is how stupid things are. Thailand should learn from Singapore, US and Korea, and learn how to increase the country's brainpower and skills base through immigration.

Many high ranking Malay "ultras" have always been of the opinion that those three province should be part of Malaysia. They were provinces inhabited by Malays and ruled by Malay sultans, and subsequently occupied by Thailand and later flooded with "infidels" and non-Malays. Based on views like these, and the ever increasing religious and racial sentiments at home in Malaysia, it is highly unlikely that Malaysia will do anything but continue to sabotage the peace process and security efforts. The Malaysian government can't be trusted.

I pray they will use this opportunity to modernize and improve Thailand.

That's how these "businessmen" become rich, by stealing from the public. Now that they are exposed, let them face the consequences and ruin them.

Nopporn can buy his way out easily.
Not from this.
If this is a purge or not, for every crook that is exposed, ruined and jailed, it is great bonus for Thailand.

Phuket steps up human trafficking eradication measures
in Phuket News
Posted · Edited by BestBitterPhuket
The sad thing is that Thailand doesn't care about the abuses and sufferings of the enslaved people, but they are just worried about getting punished. If no punishment and penalties threatened, Thailand would just continue to earn money on human suffering.
