The Lamai One Way System !

[Pilchard]

Went to lamai last evening about 6 ish.

Got the distinct feeling I was driving the wrong way cos of the amount of traffic coming towards me.

Not only bikes but mini vans too.Has the one way system been cancelled ?

Has anyone ever seen a traffic cop in Lamai, come to that has anyone ever seen a cop in Lamai

Lamai beach road is, officially, a one way road.

However almost all bikes and some vans ignore that.

When I drive the right way up the road, as always, I really like to give a lot of curry to idiots coming the other way.

I will go way over the right and force them to pull over, bikes or whatever.

Vans, I just sit and block them until they back up.... it is fun..... and they are the ones breaking the rules so you get to have fun mucking about in traffic and all I am doing is upholding the law.

Run 'em into the gutter if they are going wrong way down Lamai beach road, that is what I say.

I guess I am getting bored, have to find entertainment where I can.

There is a new one way system in Nathon middle road. No one of the Thais cared about it. Today the traffic police (4 men) stopped the wrongdoers and tried to teach them. Many Thais here are not used to follow any rules unless they are fined.

I am with you Southbot. If everyone did as you do then perhaps these morons that continually insist on breaking the trafic laws would finally get the message. Some how I doubt it as they are too selfish or thick.

wonderful to see farangs implicitly following the laws of Thailand with such respect and ferocity.

went down there today and passed a lot of people going in the correct direction,

so it must still be one-way in that direction.

but i noticed that others like me were going one-way in the other direction.

so i guess it is now one-way only in both directions.

It's one way alright, the Thai way!

Ba Dum Tish!

well this is thailand the other day i got a motor bke taxi from nanna in bangkok to asok. he drover not only the opposite side of the roa but on the pavement all the way to asok.

i tipped him becuase it was more enjoyable and a new experience.

i remeber see a police cctv picture in england abot someone who drive on the pavement for about 5 second landed him 1 year inside.

i went past about 2 police didn;t even batter an eye lid.

so watch out. thai green cross code. look bother ways ebfoe you cros the road and before you cross the pavment.
