Typical, the one on the left,no rear light,there's far too many

running the roads at night with no rear light,or any at all.

No need for a headlight. He has street lights. HE can see just fine.

Nobody else can see him from behind nor ahead, but he can see, so that's all that matters.

Besides, turning your lights on hurts your battery dont'cha know?

The cops should throw themselves in jail for allowing the bar to be open at 0500 hrs.

"a man electrocuting himself" or a man being electrocuted?

I thought this was an article about suicide.

I thought it was an article about some guy taking a shower.

It's their way of saying "We're from the government, and we're here to help".

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?"

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.

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.

I grew up about 5 miles from this one & it wasn't dredged. It wasn't even drilled.

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…"

"Thai-language media ran apocalyptic analyses by numerous astrologers who said the kingdom is heading toward inevitable doom and chaos because of Uranus."

Even better, tell them to lay off the som-tam. That's why there'll be chaos with Uranus. I gotta quit!

Hmmpp keep them all barefoot and pregnant. 555

Look what happened with a women in governance last time.

You forgot the chrome pole.

Is the thread around their heads connected to a giant tin foil hat?

I was thinking of puppets on a string dancing to the tune of the nonsense that is astrology.

I was thinking "idiots".

Should have gone to a vegetarian restaurant if they don't like eating animals.

The whole universe revolves around Uranus. Keep it out of perilous positions!

"Thai-language media ran apocalyptic analyses by numerous astrologers who said the kingdom is heading toward inevitable doom and chaos because of Uranus."

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.

It's just easy access to knives I tellin' ya!

Tougher knife control legislation could stop this.

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

You're wrong. Once I saw a guy diving in canal under that boat to fix something. He has survived

Yes, now that you mention it, I have heard of people building up resistance to poisons.

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.

Sounds like an LNG leak in an enclosed space.

All boats running gasoline or LNG need a well ventilated engine room. Otherwise they tend to go BOOM!

I would have thought that the engine room would have a ventilator pump exhausting to outside the hull.

You tink too mutt.

No hab. No need.

begging licence? you could not make it up

I love it!

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.

Have any details of the accident made the blogs?

Nah, all we got is, "Him kee mhow fall down. Hit head. Him die".

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.

"Chinese tourists flock to apply for Thai driving licences in North"

They seldom ever do anything one by one. It's always a flock mob of them.

The name's beggar, poor penniless have nothing beggar, licence to beg...

Does this actually happen in any other country in the world?

In the world of Monty Python they have something very similar.

Engine room !,you have got to laugh,if it was not so serious.

Well, it's a small enclosed space, that needs to be ventilated at all times.

Fill a small cardboard box with LNG and strike a match to it.... only if you want to loose your hand.

Makes you wonder how much a begging license is going to cost and how much the weekly costs will be.

And how much they get fined for not filling in their annual tax forms.

They'll issue permits to screw your old lady next.
