You would be wrong about that , I have a full head of blond hair and don't have a hairy back , and Nick isn't my real name , but you were right about me not being an major world class leading airline Smart move... you haven't had so many people enter you for a ride then...

Wrong subforum georgie ya ravin queen...... https://aseannow.com/forum/27-gay-people-in-thailand/

Ignore my above comment - its too late to delete is now.... I didn't read who the Op was before replying... I should have known better, but certainly do now after the trolling idiocy above. Edit: & on the same intellectual level as the Op - the UK doesn't have 7-11's !!!... AND... Pepper spray is not carried by the Police in the UK.... However, PAVA2 is and is similarly effective.

The fact that Mango received this response (below) instead of yours above highlights why they are a major world class leading airline and you are.... a guy called Nick Carter !!!... *(though anonymity if this forum means you could be anyone - though I suspect a bald British guy with a hairy back actually called Nick Carter !!!)....

& where you put it on take off and landing... You're not allowed to have your case on your lap.... All my of flights, my Laptop and other valuables are in the over-head bin / locker (whatever its called)... and in a back-pack, not in a hard case... The overhead locker is simply for carry-on... whatever that may be and we should all be considerate of whats already there when stowing our bag (and put your own bag above your seat, not in the bins at the the front of the plane !!!). The issue is the 'idea' of carry-on has altered since airlines started charging extra for luggage.

Concussion can cause loss of recent memory and the details of the event leading up to it... i.e. the Hippocampus is impacted preventing transfer of short term to long term storage and consolidation of memory. Kind of like being blind drunk and blacking out.... the alcohol blocks the same process as a concussion.... .... And.. Agree... the 'homeless guy needs to go away for a long time... this wasn't assault it was attempted murder... ... Sommart (injured party) was asleep on the beach and the homeless man was looking through his belongings, assumedly with the intention of robbing him.... Sommart woke up... and the homeless guy 'just happend to have an Iron rod at hand'.... ('cos they're all over the beach eh...)....

Valid point - lines can't 'hit you' the other vehicles can....... Ralf should be by now... he's been involved in numerous accidents at this junction... as per his own admission of course. Oh you will... very soon when Ralf001 responds !!!... Seriously though, with the roads here driven the way they are, you will, within a few days. Possible... If 'mimicking the other traffic behavior' rather than thinking and reading the road... I 'mimic' the other traffic here a lot... in busy traffic nudging out into junctions etc... but if a motorcycle rides straight into me, I know legally its my fault as I'm the one pulling out in the main road... from another perspective though, in that hypothetical sitation the motorcyclist is in the wrong because he wasn't riding defensively... ... And... (I think)... this is what you are stating in this thread... i.e. that you have to drive a certain way to fit in with the flow of traffic and match the manner of traffic to avoid confusion and risk an accident..... ...I get that - but there is also the law and regulation - this is what makes Driving in Thailand dangerous, there is a certain 'enabling' of disregard for the the law here, road law in this case.... Lazy Police don't assist and thus, not following the law, just doing what everyone else does and then it becomes the norm... it even becomes the norm to the police who then base their decisions not on law or legal president but on 'what they would have done in the same situation'... i.e. winging it because they were not trained any better. Perhaps not looking... but for sure it looks like he's given up on giving an flook...... he appears to ride like he doesn't care if he's wiped out or not... Perhaps his disability places him in a state of mind that he is ready to accept death and welcome it, while as the same not actively 'coveting' it (i.e. not suicidal).

Add another... Hope.... I hope she doesn't drive again - she's a clear danger to anyone who may be in front of her...

No... A lot less than if they carried, guns, then every psycho or UK-redneck-rights wanna-be would also carry guns and thats dangerous. Some police in the UK do carry guns - just not all - and thats better IMO - the professionals carrying guns have a higher level of training that from a logistical perspective simply cannot be achieved for all policemen. I recall watching a kids rugby game (nephew playing)... quiet countryside area... Two armed policemen had stopped off for a coffee... Not a usual sight, but neither alarming... we were nearby... quite quickly the walked off and left - I guess they heard something on their radio... Or a civilised nation... That depends on your perspective... Imagine a country where the public need to be controlled by guns.... you'd end up with a group of people who's sole purpose in live is to defend their rights to have guns and also fight back.... Awful.

Same here…. Life Time Membership - can be transferred to 30 years… Similar price to the Op PM if interested. Reason for sale: can use a marriage visa & stopped playing golf… Airport trx is incredibly convenient though.

No - I mean moved to another forum... <URL Automatically Removed> I think he mentioned.

No she didn't.... She charged 200 baht on top of the re-entry fee for providing the service of taking the photo and filling out the form. This is the norm at the airport, which is the most convenient place to obtain the re-entry permit for the vast majority of people except those who are perhaps concerned they'd forget. Additionally - It'll likely cost more than 200 baht to go to Immigration and then there's the additional time it takes to go to immigration in the first place - is your time is worth less than 200 baht ????

I don't know how people are seeing it this way - for the very brief interval the motorcyclist is in frame, it appears to be travelling at a similar speed to the three-wheeler and other motorcycle that passed before it. How to calculate the speed with any accuracy from such a short interval (needs software ?) - the motorcycle remains in frame for 0:07 second mark. This falls on the assumption that the motorcyclist was speeding - I think its too difficult to know that. I'd agree that the motorcyclist could have been more defensive and hit the brakes earlier as soon as the car initiates the turn which could have prevented impact. But, I don't think blame should be shared at all - this looks to be 100% the car drivers fault for turning into oncoming traffic.

I'm not sure - but the linked thread is from 2017. I remember him quitting this forum and moved to another.... If he has passed away - RIP

A lot of people suggesting the motorcyclist is speeding... It doesn't seem so from the video, the motorcycle seems to be travelling at the same speed as the motorcycles which passed at the beginning of the video. The motorcyclist may 'appear' as if it was being ridden too quickly because of the accident but I don't think it was. The car driver 100% at fault, turned across traffic without indication when the road wasn't clear. The behavior not to check on the injured motorcyclist is quite despicable.

The requirement for a license for these 'mobility-vehicles' is a grey area in Thailand... A lot of the discussion is covered in this thread - the first hand information provided (by Colinneil) is that the head of the DLT in his area advised him that as a '3 wheeled electric mobility-trike' is a disability aid, no registration or license is required. Other information suggests that if the power is greater than 500w the vehicle requires a license. Of course - with all the samlors, food-cards, push-carts etc on the roads these 'mobility-vehicles' clearly fit into that same 'grey area category' until there is an incident - but it seems a license and registration is not a requirement.

The police were just winging it and got that one wrong - she didn't have right of way when attempting to 'undertake' you on the left hand side.

'Gate checked'... when there is no more room in the overhead bins, some passengers are then forced to put their luggage in the hold.

I see this primarily as the airlines fault when charging extra for luggage. With so many people taking their large carry-on luggage, the security lines become ridiculous, this is particularly bad in at the security screening in the UK, particularly in the summer when so many people are off on a cheap holiday and trying to avoid check-in baggage fees. The additional issue is when boarding by row and you are near the front, but someone at the rear of the plane who'd boarded earlier places their carry on in the overhead bin above your seat - then the flight attendants ask that you 'gate-check' your baggage (which valuables). IF airlines didn't charge extra for check-in baggage - the issue would be greatly reduced.

Going by Ralf's account he's had multiple incidents at the same intersection, which highlights how stupid he is to have the same incident over and over again.... But, as he has pointed out the Police sided with him... ... Now, he's shown his true colours, so it wouldn't surprise me to learn that he's lied about all of this.... BUT, on the off-chance that he is hasn't lied it indicates the Police may well decide the SUV was not at fault - I doubt that though, fault is clearly shown in the video - the trike was already in the junction before the SUV reached it... It will be interesting to see the outcome of this - the issue of course is that we never have any follow up to these stories.

Whether or not the mobility-trike is ripe legal is irrelevant… … but, FYI this model (posted earlier is 500w - & they don’t need to be licensed for the road at 500w & less). Thats a moot point & a diversion from the issue that the SUV didn’t give way at that junction when the crossing traffic has right of way. The SUV driver could just as easily have wiped out a motorcyclist & would still be at fault.

So much for the Hippocratic oath…. Hypocritical oath at this hospital perhaps…

Only in your world where you fail to comprehend right of way. SAFETY FIRST has already identified that the SUV did not have right of way at that junction - you’re too looked into your stance that you fail to recognise this.

That cyclists was a dumb twit & I also agree that the Swiss guy was reckless (I’ve said that all along)… But, the SUV driver is at fault - nothing changes that no matter how the road is driven by others.

You mean what if she was traveling too quickly, didn’t read the road ahead & couldn’t stop ??? She’d be guilty of dangerous driving…
