SAFETY FIRST

Thailand is changing quickly. Once upon a time the deadbeat foreigners were all males, I'm seeing more and more of these deadbeat foreign females in Thailand.

They are not proper bank safes, but they are better than nothing. I have a safety deposit box at Kasikorn bank Pattaya Tai, I've had it for many years, it's upstairs and housed within a vault. Proper bank safety boxes are all housed within a vault, very safe and secure.

Yes, I'm sure there's the odd one or two foolish Thais that drive these dangerous bikes but mostly in Pattaya it's foreigners, I see dozens everyday.

Omg, the Swiss guy is a complete idiot. I've travelled over that level crossing (train tracks) many times, you never continue and drive over that slip road without stopping, it's a one way highway, those cars and trucks are travelling over 100km/h. The cars and trucks and buses don't stop at these intersections, you must stop, or slow and look before crossing, the Swiss guy just drives straight through just hoping for the best and fingers crossed, he's not even following other vehicles, this doesn't work when travelling on the roads. What a foolish thing to do. Has he been checked, his mental health, was he suicidal? Seriously, I reckon he was having a bad day, maybe arguing with the Mrs, I see she's been proactive, looking for money, asking for compensation. It was the 19th, that was the biggest Songkran day here in Pattaya, it's weird that he's out and about, you prepare for the biggest Songkran, do necessities the day prior, never going out unless you want to party. I hope he recovers. Poor bugger.

Yes, I agree, these are hazards, it does not make sense to add more hazards to our roads. These mobility scooters are designed for pathways, walkways, not roads. I'm sure they are not allowed on Australian roads.

I understand I'm going to upset a few members with my comments but I see these guys everyday, I often think to myself how dangerous it is. They are not roadworthy, no tax or insurance.

I said the west

Nope, I'll stick to driving my car when I'm elderly. Those scooters, they sit too low, underpowered. Cheap Chinese crap. Too dangerous for road use, they are designed for the west and should only be used on the footpath.

I see these foreigners everywhere. These elderly guys on those electric scooters, bloody dangerous. I've nearly collided with them. They should be banned. You don't see the Thai's riding them, they know better.

That narrows it down. Tough guy, throwing around a woman. Poor girl, I hope she's OK.

People need to be accountable for their actions, his actions have put others in danger. Look at all the people affected by this guy being irresponsibile. How about a thought for the helpers, poor buggers being out in the heat of the day.

Darkside, very dangerous 😱

They are all staying in the illegal Airbnb.

The old guy should know better. Just being a nuisance, only a fool would go out in this heat. If you are elderly, don't come to Thailand in the hot months. Sightseeing early mornings, or evenings.

Credit cards are not only for young people. I have 2 Kasikorn credit cards, also a spouse credit card. I receive points from transactions, these points add up quickly, I use points for many things. The Kasikorn app is a great tool, it allows me to pay for utilities etc. with these points.

@piston broke, just because you broke your piston, doesn't mean the rest of us can't enjoy the ride.

Agree, seems ashame to use those F-16's. Showoffs.

It's an Asian thing. Many years ago I worked for Philips projects, we had many Chinese engineers working in the office. Lunch time in the canteen was the most bazaar thing I had ever seen in my youth, all these Chinaman, chomping at their rice and noodles. I never ate lunch in the canteen, too noisy.

Oh dear, your friend is staying up market. There are a couple of safety box companies in town, Jomtien and Pattaya Klang. If you prefer not to use, feel free to leave your money with me, I'm local. 😎

We had one here in Pattaya earlier this year.

This is not good news for the media. Lots of slow news days coming.

Well, that leaves me out.

Buy fruit. 50 baht goes along way, much tastier and very healthy.

Can't they use 6 Cessna's for patrols? 🫨

When I see obese guys on the chopper, I often wonder how they obtained their BOSIET. Now their medicals will be affected.
