SAFETY FIRST

There is also a shop corner Chaiyapruk and Sukhumvit.

This article should be removed, it will encouraging poor behaviour from some here. I can see some our foreigners here in Pattaya trading in their disability scooters for an EV suitcase.

You'll find most of the guys are not disabled, they ride these illegal vehicles because they are CHEAP. Most are charging these vehicles from common area electrical outlets from their condominiums. I have nothing against the disabled. Most of these people are not disabled, once they get to their destination, shopping centre etc. they walk without any aid or frame/walking stick, they are too cheap to buy proper legal transport

You are clueless. I'm not inconveniencing anyone or doing anything illegal or improper, yet you call me names and reply with hostility. Typical reply from grumpy old man's foreigners forum. I pay all my taxes and insurances, I don't expect a traffic jam from an elderly guy riding his unregistered disability scooter because it's cheap mode of transport, not paying road taxes and insurances and most likely charging his vehicle from his condominiums common property electrical outlets. Each year I pay ten's of thousands of baht to government and insurance companies to travel legally.

Omg, blame someone else solution. I'm blaming the elderly foreigner riding his illegal disability scooter on the public road blocking my path, causing a traffic hazard, getting in the way of me taking my children to school. These guys are a nuisance. The footpaths have always been unusable, these unusable footprints were here long before we arrived. The solution is for these guys to drive a legal, road registered vehicle. You'll find most of the guys are not disabled, they ride these illegal vehicles because they are CHEAP

So breaking the law is the answer? Annoying other legal roads users is the solution. Sounds like a very selfish attitude from someone who's been living in Thailand for too long.

She's probably been to Pattaya and seen all the stupid elderly foreigners using their disability scooters on public roads and she's thought why not. This woman is harmless, mostly keeping left, not getting in the way of road users. Unlike the foreigners here in Pattaya that illegally ride their disability scooters at speed, dangerously racing through intersections causing accidents and using all the road, blocking other vehicles from passing. These guys are a big problem in Pattaya. video_20240825_070302_edit.mp4

What's all the fuss, stop picking on this poor woman, all you bullies. In Pattaya we have the elderly foreigners riding their disability scooters on public roads being a nuisance. Disability scooters are not considered a vehicle and can not be registered but we still see these foolish foreigners everyday on our roads.

It does not surprise me with all the deadbeat, scumbag foreigners coming to Thailand these days. Blame the badly behaved foreigner for your lack of freedom. I remember when we were given Royal treatment but now they keep a close eye on us. The Thai's aren't stupid, they see too many bad foreigners.

OK, point taken, thanks. I'll have a talk with her, find out if she thinks the same, if so I can change.

Crikey, I got several sad and confused emoji's, sorry for those who don't understand so I will clear up. I don't want my girlfriend applying anything synthetic, she's perfectly natural. No fake eye lashes or nails, no silicone or botox. No fake curly hair and I don't want her to shave her body, she's not a hairy chick, she has no underarm hair just a perfect little bush downstairs. 👍

She wants to wear makeup when we go out. She's naturally beautiful. I ask her to not wear makeup, she refuses saying she doesn't feel confident.

Times have changed, 20 years ago the cops would knock off at midnight, not a cop to be seen until the the following day. It was only the weirdos and miserable old foreigners making stupid comments that wouldn't drive. Everyone would drink and drive back then.

Bloody awful feeling. 20 years ago the cops would knock off at midnight, not a cop to be seen until the the following day. I'm not saying it was right but everyone would drink and drive back then.

Same thing, another high bill. You need to remove whoever is occupying the house or stealing your electricity.

Some of them need a good slap.

Nice to read a positive post. Too often I'm reading posts from the moaning, complaining members, with their whinging and whining.

Nice to see I bought more joy to your day BS My advice, keep away from bars mate, it sounds like it's the alcohol that's depressing you and making you ill.

The only change in the 10 years I can see is your age. Don't let it worry you, it'll fine. You sound like a positive person, keep things positive. Do you have family here in Thailand, spend more time with family members if possible, steer clear of some of the foreigners, they'll bring you down.

Parked the motorbike down walking street one night many years ago, forgot where I parked it after drinking a dozen beers. Had to go back the next day. It's not a good feeling.

I receive dozens of similar emails each week, they go straight into my junk folder. Surely this can't be your first experience receiving these type of scam emails. Never click on a link from a sender you don't know.

The girlfriend is arriving today from Buriram. Very independent girl, has her own transport. I'll find out when she arrives what scenic things she saw on the way down to Pattaya. It took her a while, I'm sure she saw some great things. video_20240823_114633_edit.mp4

This guy is always treated fairly by the locals. A chick magnet. Bob exercising.mp4

Oh well, you stuck your nose in to the conversation, next time mind your own business. Let's stick to the topic Bald, Fat, Sweaty, Hairy, Old, and Boring Enjoy your miserable day

Sad to read about the death but it's good news that the car driver had a dash cam. I see these reckless, helmet less, middle aged and elderly foreigners daily, in and out of the traffic like a young Thai males. Very strange behaviour for a foreigner to be riding in this dangerous and reckless manner, we are taught better.
