One would think that adding cars would be the logical solution.
First look at the design of those trains. The BTS Sukhumvit line has 3 short S curves and 4 long angle curves.
Adding more cars is not the answer. If they did the results will be bent wheels, broken axials and warped track then no train until repairs.
The Ital Thai strikes again. The Sky train designed by Japan in Manila is a good example of how to build one based on the idea to Stack-em and Pack-em they are over crowded too. But during Christmas they add 4 cars to each train because they can and it cost less than running extra trains which at times they do.

Here is a free tip for Thailand. In Las Vegas , Nevada, the city " leaders" decided they did not want the reputation for the city to be sin and gambling. They then tried to redo all publicity to push for family tourism. Revenues fell WAY off, they came to their senses, and the new promotion became" what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas". Thailand can certainly do whatever it wants, but if it kills off the sex trade just be sure to have regular jobs for all the girls from Issan...... This kind of government social engineering is made all the more funny by the fact that 80 to 90 percent of the sex trade is for the benefit of and used by Thai men. But I suppose that segment will not be going away. 
On a side note, if they really do want family tourism, the government is going to have to do something about the endless scams. Those do not go well with families. Kids watching their dad get beaten up by jet ski thugs could have a detrimental effect on future families visiting......

That's not entirely correct.
First, while family tourism never took off in Vegas, gambling tourism never declined. Profitability from gaming actually increased throughout the 90s, hence all of the building that occurred during that period.
Second, prostitution is NOT legal in Las Vegas, and the laws are enforced rather strictly. Prostitution IS legal just outside Reno, yet comparatively few tourists go there.
Third, Las Vegas is a gambling town and Bangkok, Phuket, etc. are not. While we all know Thailand has a few casinos, few tourists know about them, let alone venture inside. It's hard to make a gaming town into a family destination.
Fourth, good point about the scams. They need to hide some undercover farang officers to act as tourists and run a few stings.

"there are no laws against cheating people through phone calls like they did,” Maj Nackaphan said." 
Two years ago a Russian cheated some Malays through phone calls, they then solicited another for the group a Thai. The fraud discovered and the police then arrested and charged the Russian with fraud.
So it sounds like you can cheat anyone through the phone and walk free unless it is a Thai?
It is either that or Maj Nackaphan has no idea what he is talking about
But I am reminded that prosecution begins at Tea Time not law books

In Topic: Thai Hookers Paid To Smuggle S.African Rhino Horns: Reports

Most of the post here are really off target, read the headline and posted a comment duh 
"Each horn was taken to a taxidermist, who mounted it on a shield to look like a hunting trophy." "The trophy is just a cover for getting the horn out of South Africa and into Asia."
Anyway the problem is the silly idea that the Rhino horn is medicine, you know what it is made of? Hair
Go to Yaowarat road (ถนนเยาวราช), you will find at least 10 shops that sell Rhino horn. Cant blame them they make a bundle off of hardened hair.
I blame the idiots that buy it.
