Standing still on the road to nowhere

Like taxis stuck in line waiting for fuel, the current leadership has settled into a rut of protecting the status quo, without momentum to move ahead. (File photo)

Ever wonder why Thailand can't do anything about its taxis? Or overpriced lotteries? Or illegal motorcycle racing? Why do cab drivers continue to reject customers, even dump them mid-way through a journey whenever they feel like it? Why can't the authorities tackle the problems?

Truth be told, taxis and other nuisances are not the biggest challenges this country has to face. Still, complaints keep bubbling up and no solutions are in sight.

As every day woes continue, they may be a reminder of a general state of ineptness enveloping society.
