Reasonable force?? If I caught someone breaking into my house, I would attack him with everything I had and would make sure he was not able to use any weapon he may have, a knife, gun.

If he is unconscious or dead, he would not be able to use them, reasonable force?? aye right.

You are welcome.

Didn't come from a top thai lawyer, won't heed advice.

Although a survey conducted by the National Statistical Office in 2018 found that Thai people spend up to 66 minutes per day reading, a decline from 80 minutes a day in 2015,

The big LOL nevermind, how would they/anybody even be able to tell how much anybody reads for that matter? For all I can understand that's a random number pulled out of the rear, self resports are pretty much moot if that's where the number comes from.

He was intentionally trying to get around the white car that entered when he did, its the Me-First mentality....he wanted to fly across all the lanes to the far right one before anyone else did, he's more important than everyone else, just another dumb ignorant Thai driver......dime a dozen here.

Yes, I saw that. He could have gone straight into the middle lane and no problem, yet he edges almost half into the 3rd lane though and I've seen this so many times, regardless of driver, age, car model, speed, attitudes, etc....especially on right turn intersections with 2 lanes going right. As I mentioned, I simply cannot drive side by side with another car around an intersection without being at high risk of them running into my lane because they can't, for the live of theirs, do a clean turn in and into their own lane.

I've always wondered....why is it so painfully difficult for people to turn (properly) into the (close) lane without taking 1/2 of the next lane or 1.5 in this case? It doesn't even appear from simply cutting the corner too short, just plain unable to turn the wheel the another round it seems.

I got these 2 big intersections on my way home and for the life of mine I need to make sure I am either far ahead or decently far behind the car to my right hand side as I have no idea just how far they need to push me off my lane.

He also said that families should ensure a safe environment at home. 

What a great thing Thailand is such a great role model in terms of safety and safe enviroments to learn from. Can't possibly understand how they aren't the safest country in the world.

Does that also come with the abolishment of enforced haircut styles? They don't improve academic performances either.

I like how they can see "there is a problem of some kind...or so" but can't for the life of them get anywhere close to the root of the problem. Not that there would be any action to change to begin with in either case.

My school had uniforms as a class subject at some point, pro's and con's etc blabla. Back then I was firmly on the side of "no uniforms" solely based on the argument of "individuality". Nowadays I'd probably still go for the "no uniform" vote, but actually end up being devil's advocate at the end of the day.

Somebody explain to me what happened, I'm not a biker.

My gut feeling being he hit a bump/went airborne for a split second and it went straight to shit from there. Yes. No?

I'm not exactly taking "simply riding too fast" for a solid answer in this case.

Somebody try to explain me the logic of 1 year before midnight and 5 years after midnight...

Looks like the traffic light in those 2 screenshots just turned red ;)

theres no telling from that cctv who had the right of way,

You probably assumed, as I initially did, the footage would just repeat the clip over and over again, fortunately that is not this case and we get another 2 angles to look at it.

Considering what I've seen so far:

- Truck driver has green arrow for his turn. This should indicate oncomming traffic having a red light by default. Although I can't verify that in the clip due to perspective and rerouting of traffic and this being Thailand, you never know...but so far I haven't encountered a traffic light which has a dangerous setup on an intersection of that size. Smaller intersections in cities of course have plenty of these setups.

- The truck driver has been having 9s of green (arrow) light before the pickup even arrives at the stopping line, so we can rule out the typical thai style of "it just turned red, I am still 1000% correct to go instead of waiting for the next green light".

I couldn't spot a dashcam on the pickup (viewing angles again as well as glare).

All things considered, looks like the pick up driver saw the wrong color and/or was distracted by something else.

I'd just like to mention the irony of it raining today in my area. First rain this year, or 6+months for that matter. Nature has a funny moments too ????

It would appear the gym stops them just fine.

Waiting for the follow up article by the lawer dude who will say something along the lines of "telling women they look like a man will get you a prison sentence".

This again ????

Granted I despise most U-Turns here, that one was innocent in both cases shown though....

I thought ousting was reserved for the ones which got elected....did he mean do say coup me?

And here I thought we were assured it would be no later than february. Oh well, what a shocking surprise, who would've thought.
