I’m not telling ‘them’ how wrongly they look at things…. I’m telling you how wrongly you are looking at this issue…. Because, you are not smart enough to escape your bias (yes, that word again because it so perfect fits all of your comments).

The irony of your post…. T’was you who has clearly missed the boat when the ‘married’ joke went over your head… …… the implication that getting married makes you lose your balls…

Proof ??? Anything other than your assumption ? Don’t you think they’d have cctv of this already ?? Further assumptions… Now you are accusing the French of taking drugs? Or had just been in a fight so decided to get out of there…. Anyone would do the same. Here I am !!!…,. But yours are not conclusions, they are the baseless and bias assumptions of a flawed mind. Another assumption/ no proof of DUI. Oh… cos they’ll both be in prison for 8 years, right ??? Finally, something you write which makes sense… I totally agree.

I checked into the thread too early… … just came for the ‘not my cup of tea, give me real farm girl any day of the week’ comments….

No… that is your hyperbolic exaggeration & quite false…. Your mindset is clearly to lie about what I have said because you know your bias is so flawed. I’m simply stating that what the video shows does not tally with the Wife’s statement….. You’re both blind and gullible for thinking otherwise.

You don’t think someone who punches & kicks is a willing participant in a fight ? someone who attempts to kick someone else while they are on the floor if not a willing participant, then what ???? The Thai wife of course painted the husband as an innocent victim, any wife would do the same…. No blame of criticism there…. …. but just criticism of the stupid people who take her story as truth & fact. One of the videos shows the Frenchman on the floor, the Thai guy trying to kick him… that part is clipped off in other videos.

The wife was lying…. The video shows the Thai man fighting….

It was a simple question…. You’ve stated the Frenchman driving the Porsche ‘almost running the motorcyclists off the road’….. You seemed confident of your statement… so where is there any evidence of that at all ??????

I agree…. The Porsche owner was very likely going to drive back to his hotel after a night of drinking…. But, he can’t be charged for DUI until he does so.

Give what a rest ??? …. you don’t like it when your made up idiotic tosh is pointed out ???

You’re still refusing to answer those questions because you know the answer highlights your error…. 5th time of asking !!!!! 1) can motorcycles overtake a slower vehicle using the second lane on a multi-lane road ? YES or No ?????? 2) can motorcycles pass or go around an obstacle in the left most lane by using the second lane on a multi-lane road ? YES or No ??????

To answer your question, Op… Legally no. To deal with your above question. I was able to get a Thai motorcycle licence with my UK driving license.

That doesn't help when you return to your car and it's booted. It helps with giving the tool who fitted the wheel-lock a whack over the head !!!! Really though, as the Op is visibly ‘disabled’ or struggles walking etc no one is going to take issue with him parking in a disabled spot. The issue of potentially facing a social justice warrior exists for someone who is not so obviously or visibly disabled - fortunately in Thailand people are generally far less combative than those in some of our home nations.

No thanks... if its got padded walls there’s too much probability of bumping into you and having to listen to your mindless tosh instead of having the option to just glance over it with mild amusement !!!...

It's clearly written the ‘traffic law’ that ALL vehicles must drive in the left most lane..... .... unless....... ... ok clues for simpletons... read section 34 of these traffic laws its ’so clearly written in’... ... So when you are riding down Sukhumvit road do you wait behind the stopping taxi’s and busses ??... Or is it legal to move into the second lane and pass them ???? ------------ I don’t mind your misinterpretation of the traffic laws so much in this instance because your misunderstanding hurts no one... .... its just concerning that we are sharing the roads with such cerebrally challenged minds.

Other than breaking the law and causing a collision, of course. Now you believe the scooter actually caused the collision ???...... I have the words to respond but they’re so accurately descriptive of your character and broken intellectual state they’d be considered damaging and offensive regardless of their grammatical and scientific accuracy... ..... Instead I’ll choose to Thank you, for you provide a lesson to us all... Healthy balance and reason are not measured the same amongst us. I thank you for reminding me that there are outrageously imbalanced nut-jobs out there who simply refuse to recognise reality and balance - it prepares me for if or when I’m involved in a situation where the ‘other party’ is as insanely irrational as you....

Just answer the questions... (3rd time of asking these specific questions).... 1) can motorcycles overtake a slower vehicle using the second lane on a multi-lane road ? 2) can motorcycles pass or go around an obstacle in the left most lane by using the second lane on a multi-lane road ? Why are you avoiding them ?... (I know why !!).

Normal people don’t deep-throat stupidity in quite the manner you are guzzling the prostatic fallacy the wife has fed the media... I agree... so does everyone else on this thread. No one, not one person has suggested the fight was acceptable behaviour.

I would be too... Have you seen a video of the Porsche driven by the Frenchman running the motorcyclist off the road ?.... .... If so, please share it.... Beyond all the debate and disagreement.... we are far more similar than we’d all like to accept given our strong differences of opinion which have originated from misinformation.... So... Is there any evidence of the ’The car almost running him off the road’ ????

You failed to read the part where it says the Frenchmen later found in a bar when they were tested for Alcohol, so it cannot be proven that they had been drinking at the time - the driver was not charged with drink driving.

Open and shut case ...... There is one certainty which is an ‘open and shut case’.... given your comments its obvious that you are definitely not educated to a level anywhere close to a ‘lawyer’ to know anything about whether a case could be classified as open or shut !!!!

Doesn't matter now. Better hope the guy doesn't die. It matters if the Thai guy instigated the confrontation..... I too hope the Thai guy fully recovers.... It would be good for all of us to learn the unadulterated story. Did the French guys attack for no or an insignificant reason ? Or... Did the Thai guy stop in the road etc.... do something to the car etc causing them to retaliate ? There is no information on the build up other than the Wife’s story which has already been proven a fabrication by the video in which at the start we see the French Guy on the floor and the Thai guy attempting to kick him.

I do agree with you... So should the wife of the Thai guy also be in trouble for failing to de-escalate ?? No such ‘good samaritan’ laws exist in Thailand.

I’m so sure that is correct.... Immigration officers do not have the powers of discretion you suggest, they cannot just send someone home because they acted inappropriately. Immigration are pretty much powerless unless a foreigner has broken the conditions of their stay, i.e. committed a serious crime. In this case - I don’t think Immigration have the power to send one of the Frenchman home (the car owner) as he hasn’t committed any serious crime. The second Frenchman ‘could’ be sent home, by the time this has gone to court his ‘visa exempt entry’ will have expired and he can easily be deported on the technicality of being on over-stay.
