Re: Hua Hin water shortage

Re: How can Thailand curb its appalling road fatality rate?

Thai drivers have absolutely no concept of speed, reaction time, braking distance, or driving to suit the prevailing conditions. Just as they have no concept of looking at the "big picture" of what is going on around them. It goes much further than a simple "me first" attitude. A...
