Imagine this, if you will...

Wife dropped kid off at school, trying to turn right on Threppasit Rd in Jomtien off Soi 4.

BIG-ASS hash marks painted on the road so folks know there is incoming traffic from a side road. It's maybe 7:30 AM or so.

A couple big trucks stop to let you make a right turn, as traffic is backed up anyhow.

You ease around to the right, and BANG!!!
Moto guy come HAULING ASS (in the wrong lane) & slams into the driver's door of my wife's truck, (in the wrong lane) breaks his leg, etc, etc....Just glad she was was in a truck.

He's lucky he's alive!

You have farang name....all farangs have big money. 10,000 baht or you have big problem is what they told her.

My wife was in an accident (Pattaya). 

Totally NOT her fault (a speeding moto in the wrong lane T-boned her truck).

I was miles away.

The cop said "you have farang name, all farangs have big money"....10,000 bt.

Unfortunately, when this happened to my wife, there was no martial law. (about 4 years ago).

I was working with the Thai Marines and the Army.

Not all proud of it, but it paid the bills (barely).

The Marines fixed her truck (no charge).

My only regret is that the IDIOT was wearing a helmet and lived...His helmet banged the B-pillar on a Toyota Tiger quite hard, and broke his leg.

He had no license, no insurance, driving/speeding up the wrong side of the road, yet our insurance paid the retard's bill,+++that 10,000 baht to the cops.

What exactly is the city's link with dolphins? I don't see any trips in the bay to go dolphin watching, I know there is the inland dolphin show, but there are elephant, tiger, crocodile and snake shows too. It's like sports teams calling themselves cougars and wolves and suchlike for no apparent reason. Rant over.

It's future planning! They can can have dolphin shows there when it floods.

If the streets were wider than a matchstick it would have never happened.

Topless dancer causes stir at RCA night club.

This is the farangs fault. Prayuth said the west has introduced these ways to Thailand. Look at the presenters dressed in western clothing and even Prayuth has fallen victim to western ways, he occasionally dresses in a suit and tie.

I always thought he was modelling himself on Austin powers Dr evil with his fantastic taste in clothing. It could catch on. I might get an Indian tailor to knock me up a suit in prayuths honour.

It will take 85 committee meetings to figure out the Brown Envelope distributions, which will inevitably stop work for months and/or years.

The guys who are sitting pretty will haul ass to Singapore.

12.10 AM, that is midnight isn't it?

Actually at that location are at least 10 of those trucks parked along the road on a regular base. Do they really think they are parked full of money.

They certainly aren't the sharpest tools in the shed are they?

About as sharp as a bowling ball, or that teenager I saw in Pattaya that tried to use a plastic bag for a swim mask - Yes, he put a plastic bag over his head.

The look on his face (thru the bag) when came up for a gulp of air was priceless.

No need to read the fine print. You got to trust us.

Cheezus !!!!!!!!!!

Trust me, we're Thai.

They could use a few more spectators around the scene.

Thought this would be about Pattaya ladyboys from the headline in my mailbox.

I wonder if he travels with Thai food or eats the local cuisine.

I'd break his arm if I saw him reaching for a piece of bread.

"Upon further investigation and reviewing CCTV footage, it was concluded that they were not legitimate government officials."

If they'd been legitimate government officials then all would be well I suppose.

I just heard that Prayut has cancelled the project, as he's worried there might be some corruption in the contracts.

Is this the Georgia route? Will we see the useless police force completely disbanded as soon as the military feels comfortable in its new role?

I think it's a step towards the Syria route.

Trust me. We're Thai.

Drag him to the nearest tree.

I think the pm should try stand up comedy. I think he's a natural.

Yeah Jerry Sienfeld ain't got shit on this guy.

It takes 25 people to figure out that they were cutting a right-of-way for electricity?

I seem to recall this EXACT SAME THING happening in Europe about 75 years ago when Hitler gave all his SS commandos police powers.

That worked out great didn't it?

As some clown politician/police officer recently said, "Just make another one".

I am SOOOOO glad I moved back to Thailand. You can't get this kind of entertainment anywhere else in the world!!!

But the actual April Fool story might be a bit of an anti-climax....

Yeah this April 1st, it will be hard to come up with anything better than this.

That he is not constantly collapsing with laughter, when he says stuff like this....

The scary part is that he might even believe what he's saying, like a certain Austrian corporal 75-ish years ago in Germany.

No wonder he wants U-Boats.

Not sure I'd 'TAP' any in that photo. They do look like they'd be good at fending off katoey's though.

She didn't even slap her. Her hand was actually about 6 inches from her face. Farangs with nothing better to do. I think they may be getting upset with all the news about Thais being outraged about this and that and don't want to be outdone.

Get a life people, It's a commercial.

I've seen much worse in commercials and programs in various other countries.

They forgot the whistles and "BOIIIIING" noises, so that's why people thought it was real.
