"I cannot recall" is fairly standard response when you don't want to answer the question because the answer will get you into trouble. 😉

Sounds like he was simply changing his "principles" to suit the role. In other words, he liked having power over others. When you changed the "others" his "principles" appeared to change because he had to act in a different way to exert power. So he didn't really have principles in the first place.

Free clothes? Noooo! Million pound "after dinner speeches" to a company that you did favours for while in power? Yesss! 🙄

It sounds like they're actually looking for a way to give them less.

Why does that make him a nincompoop? Authorities will be more suspicious of a single man than a man with children.

It should be a warning for crossing users. *driving normally (for Thailand)

I read that it checks the speed of the front wheel compared with the speed of the back wheel. If that's the case, could it be something to do with your turning affecting the speed of the wheels? Presumably the front wheel is travelling at a different speed to the rear wheel on a slow tight turn, so maybe the sensor didn't quite "realise" what was happening?

Do you know how ABS works? (Honest question.)

When pulling out without looking is standard, and the way you get people to give way to you is to cut them off, hardly surprising...

Seems to be more and more Thais scamming Thais these days. Watch out for foreigners, though, eh?

CO, not CO2.

Nor the salty expats who hate all other foreigners... 🙄

Said the man sharing his unwanted opinion... 🙄

For what?

Easy to dismiss as humour or hyperbole, but actually quite true. Knowing how to drive means more than just being able to get the vehicle moving. A lot of Thais drive as though they are riding a bicycle on a country lane, especially motorcycles. Weaving around without a care in the world. You really have to assume that they could do anything at any moment. I'm not sure how anyone can feel comfortable riding a motorbike at speed, given how likely it is for a Thai to cut them off with zero warning.

Many Thais seem to enjoy driving in a dangerous manner. They seem to find it fun. You see it a lot on the road where people "only just make it" and if someone braked or swerved when they made their manoeuvre it would cause and accident. Then, fairly regularly, some don't make it.

He's a troll. He says trolly things to troll people. 🤷‍♂️

Sounds like Mr. Chaiwat was not driving safely. When you go around a corner, you should drive at a speed where you can stop if you find your path to suddenly be blocked. Not drive at a speed where you will have to crash if you encounter an obstacle.

Presumably they'll trace all the slave owners, figure out how much money they made from slaves, trace the descendants of their slaves, then force the descendants of the slave owners to give money to the descendants of their slaves. Or perhaps they'll just give public money to Black people who may or may not be the descendants of slaves.

But that means publicly admitting that Thai people are capable of being dishonest and bad to other Thais.

Wasn't the right to bear arms about not being a victim to tyranny? If the right to bear arms means that the people can rise up and defend themselves against a tyrant, what good would a musket do against whatever the government wields?

That's not how things work in Thailand. If you are a bus driver, that means you are in charge of the bus and all the passengers on it.

Sure. I'll just take a look through the biased left-wing media that tells the lies about Trump to check. Or perhaps I'll use Google, where a search for "lies about Trump" returns exclusively links to claims of lies Trump has told. Honestly, almost any "gotcha" moment from the biased MSM turns out to be untrue if you look into it.

Afraid not. I'm very much in the "prude" camp. "Natural" isn't always best. Rape and murder are both natural, as is defecation.

Unfortunately, as warm, kind and forgiving as Thai people can be, once they feel you have done something bad to them, they're rage is pretty much unstoppable.
