News Forum - Thai driver cites health issue after killing 6 year old boy in Bangkok
"He claimed that he was suddenly affected by a health problem, causing him to lose control of the vehicle and crash into the footpath. He stated that he then lost consciousness and could not recall the moment he hit the motorcycle." Anyone else smell Bullsh*t. I hope a drugs test was also carried out! -

News Forum - PM pledges to polish Phuket into a top-tier tourist hotspot
True, and the next big tourist location is Vietnam. The US are pouring Billions into the country, no doubt partly to assuage their guilt over a pointless War. -

News Forum - Bangkok’s traffic gridlock gets a tech-tock fix
I have lived here for 8 years mate, in that time, I have driven over 170,000 kms, I know what works and why here. Drop your Western head for a few minutes and you may see things as they are and not how you, my Aussie mate, would wish them to be. You're not in Kansas anymore sunshine. -

News Forum - PM pledges to polish Phuket into a top-tier tourist hotspot
Agree - but it does have some lovely beaches and the islands are great. But the people and their 'methods' are atrocious - as is the total lack of maintenance and repairs. Phuket gets far too many tourists - the island cannot support that many people visiting. If the PM wants to do anything down that way to make things better for tourists, instead of another photo op and PR stunt, she should remove the monopoly that Bangkok Airways has over Samui airport - building a road out there aint the solution. Likewise, she should take away all running of the airports in Thailand by the 6 or more organisations that currently do it, and place them all under the control of one Government run organisation that is answerable only to the Federal Parliament, and with no Provincial involvement or controls. As with all things in Thailand, tourism is in decline. Not only has nothing improved and many things have declined - other destinations in SEAsia have been ramping up their offerings and infrastructure. Phuket is the best that Thailand has to offer, and those that know understand that it aint what it once was - and just like the untouchable taxi mafia, it aint getting any better anytime soon.- 1
