Apparently you can not have short pants and take a driving license in Thailand. Well men can have short pants but women can not even if they not are “hot pants” but just normal once.
My friend went to take the driving test at Pattaya and believe me she is no bar girl and she does not look like one either. At 06.00 they are suppose to be there and sign papers and give documents and after she waited to 09.20 they told her that she could not take the test with short pants. They also told her that the next class will start at 09.50 and if she not has any longer pants she had to come back next Tuesday.
Luckily for her she had a friend that could come and give her the pants that she needed for the driving license.
So if you are a girl and want to take a driving license in Thailand please long pants to the list of thing you need to bring.

Do not think to by petrol or diesel car just yet. The price of petrol will probably hit 40 THB per liter by the end of May month. It not much we can do to stop it because the mass transit system are way to delayed and there is not enough natural gas station in place.
The government could easily help people by stop the “tuk tuk” in for example Phuket and Pattaya to charge overprices and make proper routs.
Because of the high prices people are buying their own cars or motorbike instead of going with others on the “tuk tuks”
They should also give companies and private company’s money to install Natural gas on cars. The petrol stations are should soon get money for installing Natrual gas on the sation but it is way to late.
The government should also help the solar energy movement in Thailand. We have so much sun and so much free energy to take from it. Government could easily help people with loans and money to built solar power for their village or towns.

The water war has begun in Bangkok and the first day over 45 people died and over 500 people injured. The police is expecting 900 000 people to trying to get out of Bangkok and if you are trying to then forget the buss and trains they are full.
Plan your travel well if you have to travel do not try to come back to Bangkok in the next week since the roads will be packed as well.
If you are stuck in Bangkok enjoy the silence and almost traffic free streets and the water fun in Kosan road or Silom road.
Do not become a number in the statistic and play it safe in the traffic during this deadly holiday.
