Thank you for giving us your observations about use of ambulance emergency lights that coincide with my own observations. Thai drivers are fully aware of the practice..

Emergency only Like all rules of the road in Thailand just ignored

Thai law prohibits using emergency lights in a non emergency.

I am not assuming Fred

I can tell you that following an ambulance in an emergency where i am from is illegal. Many drivers take the opportunity to follow for passing other cars . The family following at speed could cause more grief.

It is not difficult to see that an ambulace going at normal speed with its lights flashing . That lessens the integrity of the meaning of the warning light . I see that all the time on the roads

It indicates that the ambulace was not on an emergency call where speed was not required when the family can follow in there car.

Do not assume that what is being said by the ambulance driver is true.

Your understanding of the article is wrong . The family of the patiant was following the ambulance . What does that indicate to you Sir? It would indicate that the ambulance could not have been in any hurry to reach where ever it was going

You have been raised to respect an ambulance as all westerners have . Thais do not think the same. The converted vans they put a light on top and call it an ambulance should send a signal of the competence of the personel involved.

You can not ne inside every ambulance either Sir

I would never impede an ambulance full stop. But Thai drivers will and i am trying to show you how to look at the ambulance service in Thailand.

What was the patiants family doing following the ambulance , that sounds dubious

Experiance and observation Fred

Its fact , i have been watching the ambulance driver behaviour for a long time . Many Thai drivers are aware too

Many ambulance drivers are driving with sirens blaring and lights flashing with a non urgent patiant or no patiant at all . Hard to take them seriously

I am looking very carefully and the photo you sent originally is a chrome Finished tap.

You managed to creep in somehow.

The tap will go rusty in a short time. Looks more made for a bathroom than a kitchen. You need to be sure you buy 304 quality stainless steel sinks or they will as you have shown go rusty .

The scottish travel on a British Passport but seem to in most cases considered Scottish. The English are using a British Passport as well yet in most cases referred to as British.

An unfortuate predicament for the woman to find herself in. Definitely not on her own since weed has been sold more freely and available on every street corner in Thailand. It always amuses me that this British woman has been indentified as Scottish. If the woman was English then I am quite sure the woman would be described as British.

A Tuc Tuc is best to avoid in Thailand. But handy for the Mrs to make some extra cash

I am happy for DD that it was ony saliva left on her cheek.

The road traffic act B.E. 2522 states that drivers must park in designated parking spaces and ensure that their vehicles do not obstruct traffic or create unsafe conditions. Double parking violates these rules, so it is illegal. Ignorant at the same time
