Pointless unless they do proper prison time. Attempted murder here, should get at least 10 years. But I'm sure they'll get a small fine after a wai or 2.

At the very least, you need to be a democracy to join NATO, so, no dice.

Just like the Mayer in Jaws. Let's ignore the fcking forrests are on fire becauseof arson, go for a cycle and hand out some useless masks. What a fcking joke... and Thai people just keep taking it 😕

Complaining on FB is worthless. There needs to be 1000s on the streets protesting. If this was happening in a western city and the government did nothing, people would be on the streets demanding action. If there was anything that warrents protesting, it's this issue.

What an absolute disgrace. Free masks! Knowing Thailand, I'm sure they're cheap surgical masks. I rarely see a local wearing a proper N95 mask. They've just admitted that money is more important than their citizens and guests health. The Thai people are also accountable here, if they actually grew a backbone and actually protested this, then, maybe something will be done... but every year, they just bend over and take it, bar the odd protest with a dozen or so locals at Tha Pae Gate. Seeing as they're not willing to do anything about the arson/pollution, and put profit over peoples health, they need to offer, - 5+ N95 Masks - 1 - 2 air purifiers per household - 2 - 3 months of 1/2 price electricity (time spent indoors is double, with air purifiers and a/c running) This is the least they can do until they become a developed country and fix this draconian issue.

Talk is cheap.

Yep, tourist area. They already had a farang, with no helmet. I get that.

Ah, you get it! That said, I've never seen a Thai wearing a helmet pulled over. Without a helmet, I have seen this happen. However, a farang with a helmet would trump a Thai with no helmet.

Sure are, even with a helmet. I accept that's how it is here, it's still wrong.

Did you read my original post. I was wearing a helmet. You also get a receipt so you can drive around with no helmet for 3 days. Nothing to do with safety.

I was wearing a helmet. There was 4 or 5 of them. No Thais stopped. Obviously waiting for the next farang/easy money. Why is this so hard to accept, it is what it is.

I never said nowhere else has racial profiling. The difference is, it's rarely on a blatant institutional level as this, and if it is, it's usually condemned. The obvious example is racially profiling Middle Easterns at airports. This is wrong and there's plenty of media exposing and condemning it. Set up a traffic stop in a US city and stop only Asians. It would blow up the internet.

I'm sure you do.

Source? I guess Tiktok?

You can't compare a police check point targeting a specific race to rogue, racist cops in The US.
