Where did all those Cubans move?

Worst vaccination I've ever had, I'd not go there rather than have that jab. Sick as a dog for 24hrs after having it, my wife actually fainted during the injection.

I refuse to use money, bribery or influence to change any outcome in my favour. That would make me as corrupt and unworthy as the Thai authorities. They should take action because it's the right thing to do, no other reason. If you can think of any rta offence that would in your opinion justify attempted murder, I'd like to hear it!

I've just ordered amnesia haze, sherbet queen, triple g and bubblegum XL. I really liked fat banana but they've run out. Everything now priced at 30bht/GM.

Odd you should mention that, my wife runs the housing association (2.5mbht in that account) and the school PTA fund (another 350kbht in that account). What local responsibilities does your woman hold?

The aim of this thread is clearly in the op. Foreigner kicks Thai woman and is arrested within a week, and probably deported, Thai man attempts to kill foreigner and nothing for 4 months. It's about inequality, Thai racism and foreigners hate for each other. To the Thai authorities we are literally less important than soi dogs. There are laws used to protect soi dogs. But we are nothing more than easy cash for their wallets.

Do you remember when Prayut suggested any female foreigner wearing a bikini deserved to be raped and murdered?

The doctors told me it would take at least 2 years to recover, but after 4 months I can walk 5km and cycle 25km same as before. Even my recovery time is a win!

The only win would have been for me not to have been injured in the first place. Even me killing the guy wouldn't be a win, as I don't wish injury on any other living being. Quite frankly, I'm surprised the police traced him. I'm surprised my gov min covered the accident. I'm surprised his insurance repaired my m/c. I'll be astounded if his insurance give me 4 months sick pay they offered. I assumed right at the start I'd be footing the bill for everything. So far, after the hit an run, it's all been a win for me, I didn't think I'd ever ride my mountain bike again.

It's all forest burning for mushroom hunters. Don't think I've ever see a field on fire around Chiang Mai.

As Sheryl says, civil action won't get him jail time. And I'm not looking for money, don't need it.

Did you follow him and try to kill him? When it happened to me, I picked him up and sent him on his way.

Most women despise their spouse within 3 years of marriage. Think about your 4 previous marriages then try and tell me I'm wrong?

When are you going to start acting like a decent person? IMHO anyone wanting to harm other people, or justifying harm to other people is not a decent person.

You're absolutely right, in any trivial car accident the aggrieved party has the right to murder whoever touched his precious car. If I were sitting on your step, would you have the right to kick me to death?

If I'd known he was following me, he'd never have caught up with me. My misses was at the police station when he was interviewed, says he was laughing and joking about running down a foreigner and telling everyone they couldn't touch him. Says the police whispered to her to let him carry on as they were writing it all down. His insurance agent was with him, before insurance claimed my fault, after that interview his insurance agreed to pay everything and then proceeded to do all negotiations direct with my wife.

He admitted it was deliberate. Hit and run is normally an accident.

I lack the will to do pretty much anything these days. I'm not really much of a gambler, do I bet my money on getting more back that I don't really need? .......... no way. Would I be a witness in a prosecution to get him 5 years in jail? .......... absolutely.

Apart from him signing a confession admitting he did it deliberately. But agree with you on everything else.

Did everything required at the police station, police said next step was the DPP (whatever they call that here). I have no further interest, apart from being in a position to be personally guiltless when he successfully kills his next victim.

My frustration is about the 'doctor kicker' and the 'glass thrower' getting immediate fines for trivial offences against Thais. But Thais being able to kill, beat and steal from foreigners with impunity.

No requirement to tell you anything. The police and insurance company have already accepted his guilt, and he signed a full confession, claiming 'anger' as extenuating. There's even a traffic light camera video of him running me down. He'll do it again, and I'd like to at least make the minimum effort to try and stop that.

After the accident, there wasn't much I could do as I couldn't walk, it was bed or wheelchair for 2 months. At the start in hospital they told my wife I might not survive.

My gov min insurance agreed to run a tab up to 30kbht at my local hospital 2 days after the hit. His 1st class insurance agreed to pay for everything the day after the police tracked him own (about a week after the hit), pay my m/c repairs, pay my medical bills, pay me a daily compensation until medical care no longer required. Not sure who picked up the hospital bill in the end, was only 13kbht, government hospitals are cheap. His insurance paid 25kbht for the m/c repair direct to Honda. Waiting on the daily compensation payment as I was only given the medical all clear 2 weeks back. Unlike the Thais, I'm not that interested in making money out of this, but would prefer to see a custodial sentence handed out just to stop him doing this to someone else. If he ain't punished, he'll do it again, and maybe succeed next time.

I've never considered killing or assaulting a Thai that bumped my car, for any reason, from any position. When they squeeze between the gaps and bump my door or my mirror, I just wave them on. When a MaeJo university student rammed his m/c into my rear bumper at some red traffic lights, I picked him up and helped him on his way. No thoughts of harming him ever crossed my mind. No harsh words from me, small bumps and knocks are part of everyday life in the big city.
