The police collected the food scraps that were left in the dish of food for evidence.

Is this reporter new to Thailand? lolz

Oh those stupid trucks that are loaded three times too high... used to see at least one tipped over every time I went through the mountains on the way to Mae Sai.
Yet drugs are illegal. lol What a ridiculous set of priorities... you can kill others, just not yourself.

I think some people are confusing this with a typical dry van trailer. These containers are separate from the chassis (wheels and frame), and are removed from the wheels to put onto boats to send overseas or onto railcars.
I still have to see the first that has been secured on the trailer.There is no way to tell from a distance if one of these is secured to the chassis. They have locking mechanisms in all four corners - the two in the back corners lock from underneath, and the two in the front are horizontal pins that go into the container. These need to be inspected up close, as you've got to look in a small hole to see if the mechanism is locked properly or not. We put zip ties on the locking mechanisms to make sure they don't unlock, but obviously that probably has never happened in Thailand.
As I said, I personally keep a good distance from these trucks even in the US where we are regulated up the behind... I would never be within a mile of one of these in Thailand.
BTW a good way to tell an intermodal container like this from a regular dry van (which could never separate from the chassis like this) is that the intermodal containers are wavy on the sides, making them more sturdy (since they need to support the weight from being stacked on the ships). You can't really see it on the picture from that angle, but if you look up "intermodal container" on google you'll see it.

I drive these containers in the US - not hard to flip them off the chassis if you don't lock it down. They are basically just sitting on top of the chassis, only touching in the four corners. They fall off and kill people occasionally in the US too. I recommend steering clear of these types of trucks altogether... there's plenty of careless drivers in any country.
We've got tons of imported drivers in the US now too, and they have imported some slack safety standards for themselves to say the least...
-
It is standard practise to charge the surviving driver. Then an investigation takes place to decide whether to proceed with or drop the charges.
Thank you... that was confusing.

How about considering the consequences of the ridiculous bill they are protesting?

I used to feel pretty safe flying Thai... they sure are having quite a bad year. Sabotage?

Didn't know what it was until I looked it up.....dangerous stuff....no way it was going to Aussie land....he was going to use it on somebody......
I don't think he would need 96 bottles of it to use on someone. This is a pretty common recreational drug in Thailand, so I'm guessing it is other places as well.

LoL I somehow knew you wouldn't be able to resist the opportunity to brag... ****Thai language removed****

The English police aren't going to rip on the native English speaker using "there" instead of "their"? Only get off ripping on the Thai reporter's less-than-perfect English? Maybe you all could read it in Thai. No? Didn't think so.

How about some traffic law enforcement. No point teaching them the rules if there is no incentive to follow them. Ridiculous...

haha Yea, that's certainly the problem... people obviously couldn't see the current warnings/graphic images on the packs because they are too small. /facepalm
-
These pictures the police take make them look so ridiculous. You know they each have an album of themselves posing with all of the guys they caught. So silly...
-
Uhh yea, all I'm saying is water went in and soda came out! I'm traumatized!!!
ROFLMAO Wow, I'm so glad I never went to one of those shows... lololol

This is amazing. Had they just never said ANYTHING about the incident in the first place, it would've blown over in a few days. Landing gear collapsing and no one being injured isn't exactly a major international story. However, blacking out the name of your airline on the plane while it's sitting on the runway (and with your other plane taking off in the background of the picture rofl), and now THIS, trying to deflect attention... it's comical, and frightening.
I assume that Star Alliance will make them actually do a REAL investigation to figure out the problems and that this BS is just to make all the Thai people happy?

Westerners give themselves skin cancer trying to get tan enough all the time... and I bet that kills a lot more people than vitamin D deficiency does. My god you people take every chance you can to call Thai people crazy, when there are equal and opposite obsessions back at home. Get some perspective.

In all fairness, if every corrupt cop was fired, there would be no police left.

They've turned a nothing story into a major international debacle ... I don't know how confident I would be in that.

Looks like some police bigwig wants to take over operations there.
-
Some of you need to learn to read the entire story before you dive in to bashing Thai people, per usual. Because this story sounds more like a bunch of whiney tourists expecting their bags to be taken off the plane 15 minutes after an accident.

Bwahahahaha...

"He said his office would oppose bail as Worayuth had failed to appear five times."
And still out... what a joke.
