Are you going for idiotic comment of the day... Because I happen to know a few people who have sufficient influence to help in a difficult situation then all those around me are free to act with complete disregard for the law... Such a dumb response only you could provide us with such an example of logic disconnect. Those who don't drink and drive don't avoid it becase of the police - they avoid it because they are not scummy vermin cockroaches with complete disregard for society around them. Back to the story - maybe this guy was a scummy vermin with complete disregard to those around him, he certainly behaved like it... pigeon holed right next to you...

Drunken ayholes who can't change their behavior, just like drunk driving ahyoles... They should be dealt with - particularly if repeating offenders.

Sure... any time there is a conflict like this, of course people will shout slurrs... Wait until you hit someone with your car while drunk - you will be told the same thing... hopefully it will happen. "US" decent one... Do not tarr everyone with the same brush as a vapic cockroach bigotted drink driver - there is nothing, nothing at all decent about you and decent folks would object to any association. ... Your posts prove it without any doubt the shocking measure of your character. List them... all these 'incidents' ??

See... Your anecdotal 'survey' is real... anyone else is false if it doesn't fit your bigoted rhetoric... This is why your comments are always so flawed.... your delusional bias blocks any ability you could have to evolve a critically intelligent balanced mindset.

And its painfully obvious that you believe exactly what you are fed... Here you are fed the 'conclusion of a confrontation' and blindly believe whatever is reported as fact... You have no critical thought. -------- In a previous story there were two seperate reports about a Brit and a Thai having a conflict. You completely ignored and dispelled the side where it was reported the Thai motorycycle rider collided with the Brit and attacked him using his motorcycle helmet as a weapon - instead chosing to side with the 'poor Thai victim of an an attack' as that side was also reported... when questioning "there must be more to this story" you started levying accusations of "Farang apologist" .... because your myopic mindset can only ever see 'bad farang'... You have no intelligent critical thought and simply lack any ability to bring any balance to a discussion....

A bit harsh on Malky that...

Yes, they didn’t have his choice of alcohol which is what set him off. It was clearly written in the OP. Yep, I read that... Which seems a very 'odd thing' to kick off about... So the guy was either mentally unhinged and a total idiot (quite likely). OR... as we keep finding out here... there is more to the story that is not initially reported.... In fact its becoming more and more common here to read stories that are one sided and we find out something else happened and we only see a video of the end result. You never consider this as you really dont want there to be any other possibility and lack the critical balance to intelligent evaluate the possibilities of various situations... You want to 'bash the Brit' so this serves you perfectly... ... If this were a situation reversed, you'd be blaming the Brit and laying the accusation that he must have done something to avoid the Thai's.... then follow up with a comment "nice people the Thai's".. Brit was a complete idiot - I'm just putting it out there that there may be something more to the story than the type of beer available...

Your reality is different from mine. Quite likely because of the area's you frequent. Out of a group of 20 last night... one 'rode home' after 2 beers, everyone else took Taxis / Grab / Bolt - (most if not all also have their own cars).... The results of your 'real life survey' are like that because you are hanging around with like minded chancers, scum and inconsiderate cock-roaches.... You must be too stupid to know how to call a taxi.

It didn't really... It make social media, picked up by a small news outlet and linked here because this is a 'Western Centric' source of information and thus information such as this is likely to draw attention.... Take thailand and there were probably numerous situations in bars and restraints last night - stabbing, shooting etc... fights etc... but Thai on Thai doesn't really capture the interest on forums such as this so coverage is less likely.

Just curious - how many times have you seen this behavior in person ? I go out quite a lot and this behavior is a rarity - Social media and the news magnifying such behavior makes this seem far more common than it really is IMO.... Most people are quite decent (except the ayhole drunks who insist on driving when taxi's are as cheap as a beer).

His behavior was extremely poor - they were right to kick-him out. I'd also agree with giving him a warning - but not reviewing his visa is somewhat of a 'hangem high post'... ... Did something happen before this ?... we keep seeing one sided news which feeds the rhetoric of 'anti-farang' sentiment then later find out something else happened.... The Brit was clearly a dick... but the behavior is hardly cause to revoke or not renew his visa... I'd say someone caught drink driving is more deserving of such a response.

Your poll was rubbish with loaded questions and you know it... One of the questions was << Yes, I am competent to drive after having a few, but I don’t drive when blind drunk >> Which can mean someone drives after two beers and is within the limit - but they answer yes because there was no other valid option... You keep quoting this 78% and quoting your home ball BS poll to justify your own drink driving after 10 beers which is 'drunk driving'.... Typical hypocrite-cockroach behavior claim the moral high-ground against misbehaving Brits while being one of the worst and knowingly could kill someone through your actions.

Thats an excellent point: If there were access to PR and Citizenship this would certainly add a huge degree of value to membership.

The first official British consulate was established in Alicante, Spain, in 1584. The first formal diplomatic mission from Britain to Siam was led by John Crawfurd in 1822, but this was exploratory and diplomatic in nature. The first British Consulate in Siam was officially established in Bangkok in 1856, following the signing of the Bowring Treaty (also known as the Anglo-Siamese Treaty). The British Consulate in Thailand (then Siam) was formally upgraded to an Embassy in 1947, following World War II. I agree, with your comments though - A consulate is an essential mission in any nation where there are British Subjects, some of those countries are not considered 'worth while' or too costly to position an Embassy where trade and security matters are considered of less importance. Many such countries exist. However, that does not detract from the fact that where Embassies are present their primary mission is not consular services - though they are of course necessary.

Great bit of PR.... People love it, makes them feel important subjects !!!... But if you think the weighting of the Consular Section's of each of the British Embassies is considered more important than Diplomatic Representation, Trade and Investment Promotion, Security and Defence Collaboration and Cultural and Educational Cooperation.... Good for you... ... But you'll find yourself disappointed - As I repeatedly highlight: 'There is a common misconception that Embassies / missions exist primarily to serve as a safety net for their citizens abroad, this is not the case'.....

You knew him personally I see...

I must be a man then my car didn't have airbags it was 27 years old Nah... the other part of the sticker had peeled off... "No Air Bags ....We Die Like Men, but live like idiots"....

Don't get too butt hurt - you made a dumb comment and got called on it, thats all... Feel free to go ahead and reminice and not wear a helmet on your bike too...

it was actually you boasting about getting your mates off drink driving charges using your police friends, not me. I do have my doubts about the truthfulness of your story though. It is a bit far fetched, a farang calling the Thai police to get Thais off drink driving? Unlikely. OK cockroach... if you say so....

You were boasting about on another thread. You know it, I know it. If you say so cockroach...

Why are you posting such garbage? Do you realize that this person does not represent the mindset of the population? Agreed. It is a broad generalisation that does not reflect the mindset of all drivers in Thailand. The term "Third World Country" has evolved over time and perhaps now considered a slur. Instead, "developing nation" is now the preferred term. While Thailand boasts many developed areas and has demonstrated reasonable economic progress, there are significant facets in which development has lagged behind. One such area is attitudes towards safety, which have shown little to no improvement. The glaring absence of responsibility in this regard is evident to even the most impartial observer. It is precisely such observations that fuel the continued use of the term "Third World Country" - and more specifically, "Third World Country thinking" as a euphemism for outdated or regressive practices. When viewed on a national and cultural scale, Thailand’s approach to safety remains alarmingly poor. In this regard, there has been no meaningful progress for decades...

Indeed... some of the whinging on this forum is hilarious... What a bunch of soggy boomers !

Pathetic troll cockroach of a drunk driver.....

Much more. You just realized? Not really - you make it patently obvious that you regularly consume and abundance of illicit substances !!!

Of corse you have - because you are a paragon of believable honesty !!! - most popular poster here, quite the lover and also hard as nails !!... quite the hero !!!
