All of it, with the exception of your third paragraph in the quoted post.

It's not reasonable. Compensation for what? You can't just go around telling people to give you money. Insurance is there to fix any damage. No one, as far as anyone here knows, "went around telling people to give him money". If the motorcyclist damaged his taxi it is perfectly reasonable for him to ask for compensation to repair it whether it is by cash or from the Manc's bike insurer. Why should the taxi driver have to claim on his insurance for damage by a third party?

Same way everyone knows it: the article says he demanded money from the guy, lol 1) The OP does not state that he "demanded" money, it says that he asked for compensation which is reasonable. 2) You used the word "extortion". You have no idea whether extortion was used.

That's not how it works, mate. Didn't say that's how it does work. Mate. My daft response was to an equally daft post, try to read the context. Mate.

Make no mistake about it, you do not know that at all.

How do you know that?

Well said.

Nowhere was it reported that he wanted B6,000 to cover the damage to his taxi.

Why not post something factual and accurate? Unless you know the driver, of course?

Why do you keep banging on about something of which you have no idea whether it's factual, or not?

Bike rider's fault, he was illegally riding.

So who is he pointing at in a white shirt. The attacker. He'd been back to his hotel where he was arrested...perhaps he changed.

Why is that such a "probability"?

Who cares who you block, good luck with it. Hear, hear! He mustn't realise that the only person who is affected by his "block" is him!

"The guy just had too much to drink... If it was a few hundred baht, they would just have paid". You seem to know a lot about this person and the incident. "...if anyone tries to rob you of money, like the taxi driver probably was" And a lot about the taxi driver.

How do you justify that unreasonable assumption?

So? What's that got to do with the OP?

"And yes I'm a brit". Could you post in English, then?

The entire thread, including the massive, bold headline, is about his being arrested, didn't you read any of it?

I'll go with "or what".

It's all road rage and it gets reported all over the place. By the way, this one wasn't just "banging on a window", it was telling him to fck off with the finger, crashing into and damaging the car with the bike and then doing a runner.

If we can get 5 people to chip in i am happy to help. Can i count you in? Why does your charitable contribution depend on four others doing so? And, no, you definitely cannot count me in.

"...if the US Embassy repatriates a citizen they do so with a first-class ticket..." Not quite right, the US actually provides a private jet...and a stretch limo to the airport.

Maybe you could be the first to donate.

I'm the same Sir. Nice to have good hearted people on the forum like you and me. This is a sarcasm tournament, yes?
