2001, I drove up to Phetchabun, I got pulled over by the cops, when I lowered the drivers window the cop nearly fell over, he lent across and started talking to the Mrs, he then gave my license back and gave me a Wai.
I asked the wife what he said, she said the officer was honored to pull me over as I was his first foreigner he'd ever pulled over, he also said to have a safe journey.
The problem is too many bloody foreigners here in Thailand, they have ruined Thailand, too many cranky, horrible foreigners being nasty and rude.
You can't blame the cops, they've had enough.
I miss the good old days
