These foreigners involved in road rage are over reacting also, it's poor behavior and immature.
My instructions for respecting the Thais was directed to those foreign aggressors, the foolish ones, not normal foreigners.

You Pal parking issue, were you there or are you just going on his word, your pals story, two sides to every story?
