Crossings chaos
Oped, Postbag, Published on 11/12/2024
» Well done to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) for the excellent resurfacing of many roads in the Suan Luang area by using tarmac to eliminate all the recently installed red pedestrian crossings, white road markings and lane dividers. The ensuing havoc of cars and bikes driving all over the flipping place and pedestrians having no crossing facilities on On Nut 17 (and other sois) as a result of those essential markings being obliterated is marvellous. Congratulations!

» "It's a puzzlement…" as Yul Brynner said in the musical production of The King and I. The appeal court increased the prison term for the killer Benz driver, but justice has not run its course in a similar case, involving a rich company owner's Benz that slammed into a little compact car, killing the driver who was a policeman and his wife, and seriously injuring their daughter. Indeed, it is not a "puzzlement" at all.

» The current impasse with Thai politics in selecting a prime minister might never be resolved due to the problems with the rules as stipulated in the 2017 charter. Obviously, the rules were inadequate because there is no readily available solution.
