I'm going to buy another set of eyes for the back

Mirrors are good for that, if you know how to use them.

Lol I'm going to take a course it's called " recognise the sound of over 100 different motorbikes plus 50 different cars whilst driving in traffic and its windy" can't wait.

Just keep your eyes and ears open next time and I'm sure you'll be fine.

No problem taking criticism from sensible people but not someone that makes a stupid comment.

I'm a sensible person and made a very intelligent comment.

If being able to maintain awareness of your surroundings is becoming challenging for you, maybe it's time to hang up the helmet and catch the bus.

Get a life mate.

Learn to ride, mate.  Or, failing, that, learn to take well meaning criticism/suggestions without acting in such a childish and insecure way.

What on earth are you on about, hear him amongst maybe 20 or more bikes going in the same direction plus many cars and bikes going the opposite way, does the Forza have a  special sound I should know about? What a stupid ridiculous comment.

Yes I look in my mirrors often, any other stupid comments.

Gee, I wonder why the guy wanted to fight you...  🤔

you both attack me for my justified, negative foreigner comments

You don't get attacked, you just claim anyone pointing out your racism and wildly incorrect comments is attacking you.  And your comments aren't justified, as you try to pretend other foreigners are bad, and Thais are good, even when the reverse is true.

I think driving in a straight line is sensible, He came from behind on my nearside, unfortunately I can't be looking in my mirrors 100% of the time,  I noticed him a second before he hit my mirror, is this sensible enough or have you got another theory?

Are you looking in your mirrors every few seconds?  Also, if you didn't hear him, perhaps a less noisy helmet might help.

18-year-old Ruslan Uma, related to the incident on 7th June 2025.

 

Ruslan was performing his duties when he encountered the foreigners urinating near the mall. After he intervened, the first foreigner punched him twice in the face and slammed him to the ground. Another foreigner joined in the assault before both fled.

Very cruel.  Just a kid, really.  Probably small, and outnumbered.

I'm driving along all of a sudden a farang on his forza going fast tried to get past through a small gap on my nearside

 

I can't drive anymore sensible then I do already

I don't mean this as an insult, but if he genuinely "came out of nowhere", there is probably a chance that you might be able to drive a little more sensibly.

And it’s not just a quick fix. Most travellers opt for stays between 3 to 14 days

It's a nice idea, but if you live a high-stress life day-to-day, a couple of weeks isn't going to do much.

One of the reasons I’d never give 2 bht to a temple, it’s just a nation wide scam , to bleed money from the poor so monks can build the bigger temple than the next monk! Way to much money is just totally wasted, same as the Catholic Church… 

It doesn't matter where the money goes.  If you give the money, you get the karma and you get to post about it on Facebook.  That's it.

His return marks a significant development in a case that shook the foundation of the Thai Buddhist community when it first emerged.

 

In 2018, a scandal erupted involving the embezzlement of millions of baht intended for temple development and Buddhist studies, with funds allocated by the National Office of Buddhism.

Sounds fairly standard.

I wrote "direct" royal command. This is a change implemented by the current king for reasons understandable to members who know a bit the recent history. 

Got it!

(Shhh..... obviously you are the one, 'in the know?'' nudge-nudge, wink wink)

Well done you.

Thank you for your valuable input that you know 'a bit about the recent history'

This was done very publicly.  It's not rumour or theory.

All of Thailand could take a lesson here.

Quite.  Many don't seem to realise that people like Thailand because it is cheap.  Putting up prices and expecting "high quality tourists" to flood in is not a sound plan.

What a heist!  Well worth killing a man for.  I wonder what they each planned to do with their 10,000 Baht...

How would doing the thing that Putin apparently wants upset him?

So I'm a "Sigma Male," except? I could give a freaking rip about labels.  Big deal. 

Not caring about labels is actually one of the defining attributes of a sigma male.  OP is most certainly not a sigma male, otherwise he would never had made this post.
