  1. People have forgotten the gift from the Russian Government to Afghanistan (A beautiful Super Highway) that was then used in 1979 to invade the country ... Being able to move troops quickly is vital.
  2. This is the perfect way for China to quickly move tanks, equipment and troops through South East Asia once they fire the starting gun.
  3. Maybe they can spread April Fools Day across 3 weeks as well
  4. I love how this works ... announce a 3 week Songkran, then have a meeting to discuss and plan it. What could possibly go wrong. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will hold meetings next week with the Culture and Interior ministries, the private sector and other relevant agencies to discuss details of this year’s Songkran celebrations,
  5. Without jumping out to the full article on Thaiger, I didn't see any reference in the AN post to indicate she was unlicenced or didn't hold a motorcycle class licence ...
  6. I'd even be happy if they bought back the 45 day visa exempt ... longer is better but 45 is better than 30 🙂
  7. As Thailand is a signatory to the Rome Convention (membership to the International Criminal Court) they would have to arrest him when he touches down on Thai soil.
  8. Brake failure, Micro Naps, Wet Roads all may be part of the cause of an accident, but they are not an excuse ... negligence should be prosecuted. Saying you had brake failure does not excuse you from the results of your negligence.
  9. After a year underwater it isn't worth salvaging. The money should be spent on stabilising the wreck to ensure no further environmental damage. Drain the fuel bunkers, remove any explosives and let the diving community use it. Of course, as it was not prepared as a dive site, there is considerable danger and snag hazards.
  10. That seat is not properly anchored and is more likely to cause more harm to the child. Proper fitting is vital.
  11. The weekly piece was better, even with Rooster disrespecting his reader base. I don't watch the other daily news vids on AN ... now it's 3.
  12. I'd prefer to see people losing points due to bad driving (speeding, alchohol, failure to stop at pedestrian crossings etc.) rather than for administrative offences (not paying your rego). That would at least show that the police were serious about road safety ...
  13. I call BS - nice day, 4pm ... no reason for a micro sleep. Of course, I don't know his exact circumstances, but even so, while a micro sleep may have been involved, it is NOT an excuse ... Charge him with dangerous driving.
  14. This is true of every country. Individuals are usually fine and genuine, but in a pack that all changes. I try to avoid large groups but will chat with anyone one on one ... and I seem to meet great people.
  15. So this guy who likely had a pass through to airside carried a firearm with him ... that is a concern. Sympathies to the family.
  16. It's not the customers mistake ... when has a restaurant ever let you type in your own amount? The Cashier would have typed the amount and the customer probably did not notice the extra 0 when entering the PIN. Still ... good on the restaurant for trying to fix it.
  17. Is that the old bomb detector repurposed?
  18. Those senior folk with aging knees and hips can not manage the stairs in many cases. I don't know what the best answer is ... certainly lifts or elevators would be way to expensive.
  19. They need to get rid of the afternoon sales ban (from 7-11 etc) as well ... that never made any sense. Last time I was in Chiang Mai, even bars were not allowed to sell in the afternoon ...
  20. How does this fit in with the "To avoid catching it, don't have sex with foreigners" scenario now that Thai Nationals have it?
  21. I don't know ... The Mountain B "show bags" presented to the ladies were, to my mind, lower
  22. How does this assembly ban fit in with the Pattaya Music Festival (and other events)?
  23. 70-80 KPH, but the article doesn't say what the speed limit is at that location. To continue on to the airport and to brush it off as "I'll pay the family compensation is pretty cold ... I know he wasn't personally driving (as indicated in the article) but where is the compassion or the level of responsibility. And before I get jumped on, I'm not suggesting that this is a Thai problem, I would ask the same questions if it had happened here in Australia.
