  1. 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 ๐Ÿ˜•
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Yep, tourist area. They already had a farang, with no helmet. I get that.
  5. 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.
  6. Sure are, even with a helmet. I accept that's how it is here, it's still wrong.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. You can't compare a police check point targeting a specific race to rogue, racist cops in The US.
  11. Yeah, I know how it works here. I wish it was exposed more though, like the jet ski shake downs.
  12. They give you a receipt after they've got their money so you can drive around with no helmet for 3 days with no helmet or license. So they can literally stop you while wearing a helmet, and you can drive without it for 3 days if you like. Maybe your reply was a joke? Hard to tell sometimes on here.
  13. I wouldn't consider being offended by racial profiling as being woke, but each to their own I guess.
  14. Not sure a local disguise would even work, I work out and am twice their size. Maybe if I had a family on the bike with no helmets...
  15. Yes, but if police in Western countries targeted a specific race, that wouldn't be tolerated.
  16. The difference is, when there's racial profiling in the West, it's usually discussed and condemned, whether that's in the media or social media.
  17. Stopped again by the cops at a checkpoint. Wearing a helmet. They had another farang, no helmet. Meanwhile, Thais driving on by, no problem, some with no helmets. I'm sure this type of racial profiling is all over Asia, just weird that they get a pass. Can you imagine setting up a checkpoint in The US and stopping only Asians! At least stop a few locals so it's not so blatant. Anyway, I know, TIT.
  18. Thanks, this would be the particular law, Section 362. Trespass Whoever, entering into the immovable property belonging to the other person so as to take possession of such property in whole or in any part or entering into such property to do any act disturbing the peaceful possession of such person, shall be imprisoned not out of one year or fined not more of two thousand Baht, or both. That said, having a law, and having it enforced are 2 different things. Hopefully it doesn't have to come to that, but we'll see if it does.
  19. No, I'm talking about random, uninvited people coming in off the street, harassing residents. Cut and dry criminal trespassing in the West, but, TIT.
  20. And nothing will be done about it. Maybe if there were real consequences for these criminals, especially violent crime. A few wais and they'll be on their way ๐Ÿ˜•
