  1. And not one of them would think to grab a broom also, and help him, so he too, could get off the road to ensure his safety.

    I can see where he is comming from but, if no Thai gives a shit about their fellow man then why should he? If he wants to help foreigners, then put a sign in English warning them of the danger.

    I have mixed thoughts about this. On one hand I say, "well done that man" and on the other, "what the <deleted> are you doing?" blink.png

    Just getting in some exercise is what it looks like to me. Beats a treadmill or a gym.

    If it keeps some folks from breaking their necks then, cool. thumbsup.gif

    Too bad he's such a novelty and that the municipality can't do what he's doing as a matter of course, but he seems to like the exercise, so good on him.

  2. RIP & hope we all live to 101 or better.

    Some older Thai friends told me a funny story about this guy.

    His English amounted to nothing, so he was coached about his visit to JFK.

    He was taught to say "How are you?" to which JFK would say "I'm fine, and you?" to which he was to reply, "Me too".

    It came out "Who are you?"

    Kennedy said "Well, I'm Jackie's husband".

    Me too.

  3. The only good thing is they were lucky the explosion was not an hour or so later when the boats are packed solid. Also being near a pier people could be rescued from the water, a few weeks ago a guy who fell into the canal near where I live, people couldn't reach him and there is no life saving equipment along the khlong, though there is on the boats, police divers pulled his body out of the water about an hour later.

    What do you mean there is no life saving equipment?

    I see many of the piers have several plastic containers with rope

    Certainly where I live there is no life saving equipment, either along the footpath or on all of the piers.

    No need for life saving equipment in the klongs. Once your head goes under that polluted water you're a goner.

  4. begging licence? you could not make it up

    I love it!

    Beggars will need licenses under a new begging law

    Can't seem to quit laughing!

    Am thinking I should get this engraved on a plaque & mount it somewhere, so, when I'm feeling down, I can look at it and cheer myself up.

    It absolutely, positively does not get any stupider.... Until tomorrow in Thailand. clap2.gifclap2.gif

  5. There was a rash of idiocy & young people dying in Daytona Beach, Florida about 25-30 years ago during spring break.

    The idiots were getting hammered & trying to climb balconies on 20 story hotels.

    I was 20 in 1987 but balcony climbing never appealed to me. Eventually the Nanny State put an end to all fun whatsoever & the balcony deaths stopped.

    Today going to Daytona Beach is about as fun as a visit to the dentist, thanks to idiots who cannot have a good time and live to tell about it.
