  1. Bike going too fast.. It's scary being a passenger with any Thai driver, when I'm a passenger in my (Thai) wife's Car I see the Car in front Brake lights come on, for the next 3 or 4 Seconds my Mrs still has her foot on the Gas pedal until I shout BRAKE, yes she's watching the road & her sight is normal under other conditions, it just seems their Brain does'nt register quick enough as seen in this accident...
  2. It depends on if the driver or the police are still wearing face masks.
  3. In my experience with Thai's and Dogs, a Thai will go out of his way on his Motorbike to run the Dog over, its mostly Thai people who put the Dogs on the Streets in the first place, once they cease to be small, and cuddly, expensive to feed they're thrown onto the streets, or to make themselves feel better, they put the dogs at the temple
  4. In a Bar on Pattaya Second Rd, I asked the Lady if she would like a drink, she wanted a Beer, her Beer was poured into a Whiskey size glass saying she did'nt drink so much, I looked at the bill it was 120b, the rest of the Beer was put under the counter hoping I would buy another, good, (rip off business,) 4 or 5 lady beers from a small Leo..
  5. Yes as a Retired member of the UK Institute of Advanced Motorists I fully agree, and a few years ago I put your suggestion to my Thai brother in law, a Captain in Thai Police Force, his reply was as expected..... Thai people don't need to learn from Farangs...!!
  6. Yes, good idea,.... but who's the Driving Instuctor ?,.. a Thai ?.. bad idea
  7. And line the pockets of others
  8. Their idea ....." It's not my fault, blame something, somebody else".. problem is, many times the police believe this B.S
  9. More quality Tourists can be expected...
  10. I use the Car horn regularly , mostly at Bikes with Thai's riding, either looking at something, but not the road, or they're using their Telephone, a small Toot just to let them know i'm there, saves me getting involved in an accident with some of them
  11. The Beach side of Pattaya Beach Rd used to have many Concrete Benches under Trees, I read somewhere the reason they were both taken away was because they installed tall Flood Lights, so say, for the safety of Tourists, and the Tree's were in the way, the Benches were taken away to stop the ladies of the night sitting there... both reasons were a waste of time, and money , Tourists still get problems from pick pockets there, and the Ladies still sit
  12. Yesterday pick up trucks covered in Flowers and Budda statues in the back driving slowly around East Pattaya is what made me think it has something to do with their Religion, my Mrs says its a big deal for Thai's in the Temples
  13. It's been carrying on into early Mornings which is not normal from past years, will it carry on past today I'm wondering.
  14. Tourism authority of Thailand are as bad using Songkran, one of their most Religious Festivals to attract tourists for the sake of more money, and local Government for allowing it too continue into the early hours of the Morning
  15. A good business in Thailand seems to be a Brake repair shop, trouble is Thai's dont do maintenance
  16. I thought they had live bands, along with many 2nd rd bars
  17. Please let me know where is a quiet bar in Central / South Pattaya?, I too would like to go there..
  18. Now Tourist Authority of Thailand should be asking Pattaya Police, " Does this make the Tourists feel safe"
  19. Garbage collectors too busy Moonlighting, they don't collect from public bins, one told me
  20. With the noise these Bars in Pattaya generate, extra loud music coming from several different Bars and you lot worry about noise from a video phone
