Proactively…. You’re being deliberately obtuse with this. Thai road policing is solely reactive after an incident - they don’t enforce the laws until an accident happens

He works on the rigs…. He will never have had a sick day in his life - rig workers are a different breed. If sick, it doesn’t matter you still work unless so unwell it would be dangerous. Too many softies will never know what that takes.

Their persistent defiance is not a demonstration of strength or principle but rather a transparent act of psychological reactance, an immature and mentally flawed transparent mechanism to compensate for their insecurities in an attempt to bolster their fragile sense of self-importance, all while cloaking it in the guise of resistance to authority.... ... We used to call them idiots sat on a bar stool and just turn away and ignore them - now they have a more permanent forum and that lasts longer than the 5 minute conversation we had with that nut job and that gives them a lasting platform for other idiots to join them... .... The result... Flat earthers and moon landing deniers... and a load of other science deniers stuck in the mud of their own stupidity.

Yup.... They're there 'enforcing the law'.... Watching them jump the red lights... thinking thats it... I saw you do that, I'm enforcing things here... see, another one just jumped the light... I'm enforcing things again, I saw him to that....

They do...that the rider is being prosecuted means that they are enforcing traffic laws. WRONG...... 'they' [the police] are not 'enforcing traffic laws'... they are penalising those unfortunate enough to have been involved in an incident when habitually breaking traffic laws... .... there's a difference and that difference is one of the reasons Thailands road stats are so damning.

MalcomB is going to going to soil is g-string at this one.... .... Do people not look when crossing the road ?????....... Really - in a country with such a terrible road safety record as Thailand, but not that, in ANY country, how can people walk out across the road and not look to see if anything is coming so they don't get mowed down by a speeding idiot ?.... (rhetorical)... This is a terrible testament to the disregard many motorists have for pedestrians across the nation, but also a terrible testament for the disregard many folk have for their own personal safety.... BUT - I do wonder how some Thai apologist fool (mentioned above) will attempt to polish this into a Thai was not wrong, farang always at wrong form of delusional rhetoric.....

If they are that clear - Show them !!!

I sometimes wonder if you actually read the OPs or just read the headline and just make up your own story to suit your narrative and get so lost up arguing with everyone that you forget that the topic is Foreign motorcyclist leaves 4,000 baht for injured Phuket man, then flees i remember another thread recently where the Thai has offered 4 million in compensation. But you claim….. You just keep making stuff up to vent your obvious hatred of Thais, which probably stems from that time you were threatened for your manners and waied and apologized out of it. You need to get over it or leave the country You are a very special case of special... You remember a case where a Thai offered 4 million in compensation ??? ... it was just a minor bump right ???? OR.... was it Tik Shiro (Thai rock star) drink driving and killing someone.... Your bias is so pathetic....

Exactly this.... ... and avoid all the 'ground level traffic' wherever possible - there are loads of roadworks going on now with the MRT lines being built, bridges being knocked down etc and knock-on impact of excessive traffic... Khun LA's route is the quickest way to the elevated expressway to head east although the traffic will still be very heavy on that heading out of town.

No worries mate... I remember the photo now... It was the the on-board lounge photo... .... presumably drinking away a 28 day rotation of telling roughnecks to put their earplugs in... definitely a good way to wash away the all the rig-BS.

Did the Thai rider stop and give you 4000 baht in damages ??? ...... careful with your answer.... it could be Thai bashing when Malcy reads it.

It always is with you Richard. You must be the unluckiest man in Thailand Yawn - you really are particularly dim aren't you... A couple of incidents over 30 years and you think thats unlucky because I've mentioned them a few times on this forum tou therefore assume they are cumulative experiences.... Malcy - just for you: Its possible to mention the same incident more than once without it being multiple incidents... now I can't explain that any more clearly for you and I'm sorry for all those around you if you really are so dim you can't work that out.

Why all the Thai bashing? The OP is about …. Nope... The Op is about an accident where they Foreign rider paid 4000 baht in damages. A sum far greater than similar other circumstances when a Thai crashes into a foreigner.... The foreigner did a runner ???.... he just left and didn't pay anything ? Or, did he pay a reasonable sum for damages ? 4000 baht. He paid a lot more than a Thai would pay should the circumstances be different.... You see my comments as 'Thai bashing'... but thats because you are unable to recognise balance and ONLY EVER side with a Thai whatever the circumstances and thus anyone not 100% in alignment with your delusion is Thai bashing !! In short - no one should be leaving the scene of an accident.... whether Thai or foreigner and there should be charges for that and treatment and fines should be equal. But... thats not what happens here.... Thai's hit others and speed off.... thats very common, I've wintessed it numerous times in person. Here we have a foreigner doing the same thing, except he didn't just speed off, he left 4000 baht in damages. You will argue this of course, but do you think a Thai would have left 4000 baht damages for the other Thai ??? This is why YOU are bias Malcy - you are simply blinded to any reality here.

More like some kind of slave trader....."Rachel Stallard. Private Household & Estate Management Recruitment" Yep... seems like that... Seems she places 'service staff' at the homes of the wealthy - likely meaning they are highly trained etc.. they the wealthy guy has decided he's not going to pay...... Quote: 'All because a client who has millions didn't want to pay his staff wages or my fees,' she sa https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-stallard-272aa516b/?originalSubdomain=uk Sadly - this stuff happens all over the world - not just Thailand... but its seems this guy is powerful enough to be protected by the Thai justice system. - I've been owed 10's $$ for Promise of Quarantine payment (day rates) when going to work, only for the company to 'refuse' after the job was complete. - The company I work for is owed $$ Millions by 'a government body' (not in Thailand) - the government simply are not paying it. .... the big fish simply do not like to pay debt and refuse to pay upfront - its a sad facet of having to do business - they get away with it...

I never realised you'd be able to afford one Malcy.... But, if it makes you feel better, I've seen fools in Suzuki Swifts and blobs on Honda Scoopi's behaving in the same manner... and even guys pretending they are hi-so while drunk in a CRV, so there's still plenty of scope for to embed yourself in the culture endear yourself to the locals !!!!

Yeah.... I saw that one.... Its always embarassing when you go to the back on one of the Buiness Class bars and the Alco's are there there getting their photo taken with the Emirates hat on behind the bar - as if its the first time anyone ever had that original thought !!.... Still, not to be taken too seriously, its a bit of a laugh and he was probably on high spirits after returning from 4 weeks of being abused as a lowly HSE rep.

Is this one of those situations where the 'real estate agent' (term used very loosely) claims 3% of the sale value for helping sell someones property ??? And... in this case when the sale went through she realised she was owed her 3% for her 'connections' in making the sale. The owner... knowing that all she'd done was post some photos and put them up on a WebPage decided that 3% (which could have been 3% of 32 million Baht property) decided he wasn't going to part with 1.28 million baht) We've sold properties before and the agents use 'our own photos' to post on their page and then want the 3% if we get a sale - we tell the get get flooked too !!! Thus: It could be, she had a property listed on some overseas sites etc.... but when she came here to claim her 'cut' was told to take a hike...... and when she made more of a nuisance of herself the business man pulled some strings.

Was that the guy washing in the fountain at Nana ???.... or the one on the floor of the prison cell posted recently ?

Mine comes well endorsed !!!

It's MalcomB.... living in the same delusion, they are handsome guys to whom the bars girls flock... they are the only ones who see the reality of Thailand that its only ever foreigners who do anything wrong and Thai's are always perfect... ... Sometimes they'll invite Gottfrid along for their 'farang bashing' Ménage à trois 3 up spooning on their honda scoopy !!!

Sounds like perfect Bar-stool banter (rumours), but also sounds perfectly believable... I'll wait to see IF something like this ever happens to me.... "I'll show you mine if they show you theirs" !!!!! --------- I was involved in an accident decades ago, other guys fault, he had no license, van not insured or taxed either. At first the BiB tried to pin the incident on me, but I had photo's too many of which we proving the lies the other guy was telling... I was polite but stubborn, in the end they sided with me as there was no way they could legally pin the incident on me - BiB were fair, but only because they were forced to be..... and I've found that out in other situations too, the BiB will side with the foreigner and will be fair when there 'easier' other options (path of least resistance) are / is exhausted.

Come on... don't make stuff up... MalcomB will be here to tell you that ALL our experiences that differ from his delusional made up stories that all farangs are bad and all Thai's are wonderful will be along soon to tell you what a 'Thai Basher' - 'Farang Apologist' you are....

No... ask MalcomB - he knows all about it.... Thai's will happily pay for all the damages and compensation - those who suggest otherwise are Thai bashers !!!

What you mean the Thai's didn't stop and offer you 4000 baht ??.... You Thai Basher... MalcomB will be along to tell you that you are telling outright lies...

MalcomB thinks otherwise... its always the farangs fault... those who think otherwise are Thai-bashers, such are completely unrealistic delusions....
