Roller bladder is an equal road user? He is more pedestrian than motorist.
He was on wheels, no different from a bicycle.
The police just made up a charge, basically.

Netizens reacted in droves saying this was highly inappropriate and dangerous after a clip featured on Red Skull.
But driving up the wrong side of the road, fine.
Driving on the pavement, why not?
Speeding, fine.
Drunk driving, ok.
Children on motorcycles without helmets, no problem.
Tailgating, aggressive driving, mai pen rai

So the car was chasing them and beeping, then the Thais thought the foreigners might be lost so they stopped to help? Doesn't sound credible to me. If I had to guess, there was some back and forth on the road and then both parties stopped for a fight with the Thai unfortunately hitting his head on the ground during the fight. Let's hope he can recover.
Exactly, that story sounds like nonsense.
Sounds like a dispute about driving etiquette when the motorcycle passed the car, since that's the only interaction they had before stopping for a dust up.
I know I beep my horn a lot when a motorcycle pulls in front of me without any concerns about safe distance,but who knows what really happened.

I tend to fall in lust with women, at least in Thailand. I have homes in two other countries, and I rarely if ever fall in lust there. I do like my homes, however, even if I mostly live a platonic life there. Thailand, however, brings out the dopamine in me.
Exactly.
Thai women are easy to lust after, but difficult to love.

Nope, I don't.

15 minutes ago, Gottfrid said:Full? That tells us what you know about Thailand. Heard it on the last barstool?
I lived in a small rural village for almost a decade.
It's mostly: elderly, children, and degenerates.
There are a few upstanding citizens of working age, but most have left to go to places with opportunities.
Plenty of gang violence. Someone gets beat to death once or twice a year at some big party.
No shortage of drug addicts, alcoholics, drunk driving, illegal guns, theft, robbery, dog poisoning, property damage, illegal tree cutting, teenage daughter pimping, wife beating, child abuse, child neglect, animal abuse, animal neglect, illegal gambling, loan sharking, extortion, violence, suicide etc etc
I saw it all, Buddy, in the relatively short span of about 8-9 years and not from a barstool!
Well, I did have my own barstool. ????

It’s important to get the right talent where ever you can find it.
Just checking:
You do realize he is talking about Australia, New Zealand, and America being colonized by (white) migrants, right?
You know, Captain Cook, Christopher Columbus, and chums.
Just checking, cos with your seemingly far far left views, I am surprised that you'd make a positive comment on this.

Cancers destroy the hosts they inhabit, be it the body or a society.
But racism harms other people, not the host.
What's destroyed the UK is its lax immigration policy and the fact it's social benefits system is so easy to exploit.

I think cancer is a bit strong. It's maybe as bad as genital warts.
What is like a cancer though, is all the money spent on economic migrants (dole artists) -- and the left extremists backing it -- rather than people actually in need.

I'd give up my British citizenship if I had to choose between Thai and British. In the UK I only have my father, step-mother and half sister. Having lived here for 40 years, I have no ties to the UK other than that. It's a no brainer really. Obviously, I won't be proactive in surrendering my British citizenship though.
I've been in Thailand almost all of my adult life, but I couldn't see myself ever giving up British citizenship.
I like the idea of being able to spend 6 months in the UK and 6 months in Thailand when I retire.
Not that I have more in the UK than Thailand, I don't -- but just to enjoy the freedom, get the best of both worlds, and have the choice.
Also, one day it might be necessary in old age. And one day I might entirely change my mind about Thailand. You never know. My kids could even leave Thailand as I left the West. Then, I wouldn't have much to stay for.
Also, it would be great to own a UK property to rent out and fund my retirement in Thailand, or wherever. I wouldn't touch Thai property.
Aside from that, it is so easy to qualify for the retirement visa in Thailand. It seems like a no-brainer for me to do that indefinitely when I retire.

The U.K. does have a problem with racism, as the OP highlights, and it is a national problem.
Nonsense.
Ok, you are basically offering nothing now with your responses, just one word answers and circular reasoning. ???? ????
See ya ????

Let's see what the consensus is here in 2022: rent or buy a condo in Thailand, which is better?

2 minutes ago, Bluespunk said:Really not sure how you have decided upon that opening sentence and even if true (and I am by no means saying it is true), it really doesn’t matter how racist the country is compared to any other, you have chosen to allege is worse.
This thread is about the uk not any other place.
I am saying if you are gonna complain about racist countries, the UK should be last on the list.
And my point is: the UK doesn't have a problem with racism. There may be a few individuals, but you are acting like it's a national problem.
The national problem is being too generous to foreigners when Britain needs to take care of itself.

1 minute ago, Bluespunk said:I really don’t see your perceived views on politics have any relation to the fact that racism is still a cancer that affects the U.K.
What is sad is your refusal to see this because you don’t want it to be true.
The UK has to be one of the least racist countries on Earth.
Try going to: Greece, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, China, Japan etc. etc.

No arguments with that statement here.Are you kidding?
Could the UK have bent over any more to accept new cultures, religions, and races?

Crazy going to these places. Mostly untrained and learned from the girl next to them. No contra-indications checked, and performing some pretty dangerous movements on some people.
No wonder people have been injured, some permanently.
Exactly, I am done with them.
Ended up with a cracked floating rib once.
Might as well let a buffalo trample on you.

Can't see much wrong with that.
Are they sitting in a nice free house with their family of eight raking in more social security money than the householders could possibly earn with their skills?
Naw, they aren't. They are working and supporting themselves. It's mutually beneficial to Thailand as well as the migrants.

The only negative in Thailand (for me) is immigration.
Took me 2hrs last week to get my 1 year extension, so not all that much of a negative!
Exactly, and we should be thankful Thailand has a sensible immigration policy protecting its country, culture, and citizens.

I’m not sure you have a grasp of Britain’s history on slavery.
Slavery exists in the UK today and now.
There's never been a more entitled and privileged time in UK history, probably.
Well, you could say they had it better in the 70s, 80s, and 90s regarding the economy n stuff, but still...

Well, getting involved in a fight is never a good idea.
I suppose he got what he was looking for. It could just as easily have been the farang in hospital.
No sympathy.
