Another outsourced freelance Thai driver. And he flees!! No assistance to injured tourists - The driver flees!! This Thai driver fleeing accidents is a national disgrace for Thailand. Tourists will eventually get the idea that the risk of tour travel in Thailand far exceeds the joy of the experience and they will stay away. The driver "flees!" Shame on Thailand and its culture of fleeing accident scenes with injured and/or dead in distress.

May I mention this again, there is a chance the driver fled for fear of attack from an angry mob. It just takes one Thai to attack and the rest join in, and the first person to attack knows this.

Comon sense, common sense, common sense, where art thou? 3.3 meter high bus; 2.8 meter high bridge. What's the problem here? LOL

It appears that common sense is not common. What is common to you and me may not be common for some one else.

Common sense in Thailand is not in abundance, especially on the roads.

These bus companies are really going to have to do some soul searching and hire more intelligent drivers. Also they might think about installing a GPS system so the driver can concentrate on driving, not trying to figure out where he is.

And of course he did the classic runner, which they all seem to do unless the driver is dead...

A lot of drivers do runners for fear of attack from passers by etc. It is well known how Thais hunt in packs, also Thais and intelligence do not mix.

The reason so many people vote Labour in Scotland is the mentality of " my father voted Labour so I must vote Labour" Yes there may be a lot of MPs of all parties who work hard for the constituency because they want to keep their seats and all the perks that go with it, including well paid jobs for some members of their family. You show me a Labour MP who will admit the party is no longer the "party of the working class" and I will show you someone who is not a liar. But that would be impossible.

They know that if they present themselves as the party of the working class, they are unelectable. That's politics..

I think you have a point there, they lie to get elected, then they lie to stay elected, so they can fiddle their expenses and award themselves massive wage rises, then go and make more money at their other jobs, like Lawyers and Company Directors etc etc. Despicable people.

Maggie Thatcher maybe, PM for 13 years.

You always know when Tony is lying as his lips move. He's much loved in the US but why not as he was the best PM of Britain America ever had ?

I think he would fit in nicely in Thai politics providing he survived.

You always knew when Blair was lieing when his lips move ????. Its the same with all UK MPs, and Labour are worse than all the other parties put together. Working mans party??? not in my lifetime.

All UK MPs. Are you sure? Have you checked them all? Perhaps you can give examples for all of them. I assume this goes for previous ones as well.

I think the reason there are a lot of lying MPs is because that's what a lot of people expect. Why bother to tell the truth and try to work for the good of your country when many people have already decided that as an MP you are a liar and only in it for the money.

Ok, I will rephrase that. Every Labour MP in the UK is a liar. If every Labour candidate who is up for election was asked if Labour was "the party of the working classes" none of their candidates would say no, and that would make them liars. Is there any UK born member of Thaivisa who would say Labour is the "party of the working classes"? I bet not. of all the other MPs, you would have to say about 95% are liars.

Why not just say "out families members did the crime .... now we feel they should not do the crime"

They are where they are due to their own doing ... tough luck ... but that is life

I am against all amnesty bills

You start rioting, and do damage to innocent people, you deserve all you get. So no amnesty.

I have never brought a gun to a bar before, so if someone hits me in the head with a bottle I would just have to beat him to death with my fists. A bit more work but.

If a person hits you on the head with a bottle, he deserves to die, whether by shooting, stabbing etc, unless it is in self defense. In self defence, you use anything if attacked with no provocation.

Are Thainess at its best

Quite right. I believe the last recorded instance of a white man getting pissed and lairy in a public space was some time in early February 1932.

the victim walked around a lot, shirtless and drunk. Yep very Thai. RIP drunk shirtless Thai guy.

It's common to see Thais drunk as it's common to see Westerners drunk, it is uncommon to see Thais shirtless, it is very common to see Westerners shirtless. So people should stop being anti Thai where this report is concerned.

When you want to pay to download an app on your Samsung smartphone, ie you may get a price like 32 followed by writing in Thai. What does the Thai mean? It US Dollars ( I hope not) or Thai Baht or what?

kappao gai!

Every so often 7-11 gets in something really good, they have it for so long then stop selling it, one example is the sausage and egg roll. Nearly all their sandwiches have cheese, and I do not like cheese. The same with their ice lollies, they used to have great ones, but they soon take them away.

7-11 has food?

Chang Classic. Beer is food.

Yes, beer is food to some people.

Don't worry plenty of people wear jeans to weddings when everyone else is more formal.

Obviously they didn't mind and know differnet people have different circumstances and you are a farang with no need for trousers in Thailand. Same as many Thais who don't use them for work.

There is a need for trousers, it would certainly be disrespectful to wear shorts at weddings. If anyone disagrees with me, and that is their privilege, that's fine. Thai girls on the whole do not like men wearing shorts apart from on the beach, playing sports etc. Try turning up for a first date with a Thai girl wearing shorts, you that is, and see what happens.

Not only Thai girls.

Shorts are for farmers and such. The lowest of the lowest. Maybe children. A farang with shorts, not only at weddings, is just a clown or tourist. And that applies to other Asian countries as well.

Shorts are for farmers and such. The lowest of the lowest.

I dont know who told you that , which website you read it on, or if you actually live in Thailand.

Next time you are in Bkk, take a trip to say, Paragon, Central or Fashion Island, head to the car park and observe the farmers and others of that ilk getting into or exiting from their Mercs and Beamers, Tunas and other such cars, hardly the lowest of the low.

Take another look, it looks like you are mixing me up with GreenSnapper, My wifes parents were rice farmers, and her brothers, they are nowhere near being poor, and you could not meet nicer people.

STEALTH TAXES - just what we need { Face palm }

STEALTH TAXES?? Brown again, Good God.

The second worst British Prime Minister since the war........replaced by the worst.

The man is truly delusional.

The second worst after Ted Heath. I agree.

I have never been a Tory, but Heath was never the worst, it was the miners who brought him down and caused him to hold an election which Wilson won, and then led the country to bankrupcy in 1976. When Thatcher was PM the miners tried the same thing again under Scargill and Maggie sure sorted them out. I am no fan of Thatcher, but if Scargill had his way, who would have been Prime minister? With kinnock in charge at that time????? What a hypocrite that man is.

It seems Thailand is a haven for the Tory party. If they are so good why are you not back home enjoying all the good things they are doing now.

You lot idolised Thatcher so let's have a look at her record shall we.

1. Over 5,000,000 unemployed

2. 2 wars

3. Pound devalued

4. Gold reserves diminished

5. Divided society

6. Poll Tax

7. Riots in the streets

8. Whole manufacturing industries destroyed

Impressive or what?

Tony Blair at least tried to create a united society and make things better. Did he make mistakes? Of course he did, and the biggest one was listening to Bush which cost him and many others dearly. However, Britain went through one of it's most prosperous periods under Blair until the world-wide financial crash hit. Oh sorry! he was to blame for that too I suppose.

You guys must be so happy now that you now have that world renowned leader and political genius that is Cameron.

Cameron is one hell of a liar, but Blair is an even bigger one

You always know when Tony is lying as his lips move. He's much loved in the US but why not as he was the best PM of Britain America ever had ?

I think he would fit in nicely in Thai politics providing he survived.

And you feel politics is OK the way it is?

You agree with a member then.

When I was taking Criminology one of my term papers was on the parole system in Canada. It turned out at one brain storming session made up of people from various positions in life the best ideas came from the business sector.

I whole heartedly agree with him politics needs help how you people can say it is OK is beyond me.

I do not know that much about his personnel life but I do know Bull Crap when I hear it and I sure did not hear it from Blair.

Blair was full of more crap than any other UK Prime Minister in my lifetime, Followed closely by the pension stealing Brown.

I was about to have breakfast but seeing Blair's picture means I'll wait. I'd like to keep the food down.

It could have been worse. It could have been his wife.

I would have probably ended up in a corner in the fetal position sucking my thumb and muttering incoherently..

She's an overweight Mrs. Beckham, the gruesome twosome.

How true.

Mr Mod, what is my :reputation vote? A sign came up on my screen tell me I had lost it.

I was about to have breakfast but seeing Blair's picture means I'll wait. I'd like to keep the food down.

Churchill was the best. He knew when to hand it over.

What about Maggie? For all her faults, she left John Major with a good economy, then Blair came and we all know what happened next.

Harold Wilson would push him close. But not that close.
