This roundabout has always been an accident black spot.

Strange how everyone is blaming the Canadian man here, I dint see in the article that he has been convicted (yet), just because he was drunk (although that is meant to be an offense here of course and he will ultimately pay dearly for it) it does not mean he caused the accident though.

This is as far as I know the only real main road roundabout in Pattaya. The Thai drivers are always totally confused when approaching it, with no one knowing who has any right of way.

The law is: "GIVE WAY TO THE TRAFFIC ON YOUR RIGHT WHEN ENTERING THE ROUNDABOUT" if that rule was applied there would be less accidents and perhaps this nasty one could have been avoided.

I would bet money that the taxi "songtaow" was coming from 2nd road and did not give way, or even slow down, the (speeding?) Canadian would have been on taxi,s right side who was probably already making his (perfectly legal) turn to the right to go to Naklua or go streight on down to beach road.

(Of course it would be interesting to know more facts rather than the PDN reporters assumptions)

The city council should install big signs at the approaches to all roundabouts, saying in Thai and English: "GIVE WAY TO TRAFFIC ON YOUR RIGHT"

Oh dear??? U really do have it cockeyed. Please read the news article in question and some of the posts before making such ill informed assumptions.

Barbaric, and never mind that caning etc used to be accepted in UK schools, control by fear is not how I would want my child dealt with.

There are other ways of dealing with wayward or naughty children that are far more effective,without the use of corporal punishment.

Can u expand on that?

I am open to ideas.

i watched the video.

Looks like he is getting ready for a tennis serve.

I must hurt, but I am sure I heard laughter in the classroom.

Not sure what to make of it.

Believe this when I see it. more government waffle

It is a good idea. Please make it your mission to go to these fast food resturants to check.

But its got to worth putting a few squid on his prediction.

I don't mean an arm and a leg.

Paul would not miss them ...I would

:DHaha Best quote this thread

Since we can't really comment on the charge then, who is the falang looking guy in the background with all the badges on his shirt?

I think it's Santa Claus working his day job.

Supposted to be a serious discussion... But ,, That is funny!

Give me a fookn Break,M16 Gang my Arse.

I read the thread because it said "M16" Cool to be in Jail and a member of the "M16 gang" I hope the police give Grandma back the pickup.

Who in their right mind keeps 12 million baht sitting unattended in a parked car/truck sitting around the Nana area?

And are we supposed to think this Columbian gang just happened to get lucky and steal a bag from inside a locked pickup truck that just happened to contain 12 million baht???

The whole thing seems more than a bit strange...

Wirat Panyapluattichote, a 44-year-old employee of Thaimart Store, parked his pick-up truck outside the bank on June 4, while he took 5 million baht in cash into the bank to deposit.

When he returned to his truck, he found one of the vehicle's windows had been smashed and a bag containing 12 million baht of Thaimart funds left inside the car had been stolen.

Mr Wirat earlier received the money from an exchange currency trader, Super Rich, on Ratchadamri Road, before going to the bank.

:rolleyes:TIT
