Yes, I see it a lot. Driving fast in the right hand lane and overtaking when approaching a U turn opening is pretty stupid. ISN'T IT!

 

Talk about calling the kettle black!

what the hell  are  you  on about?

SOP here, scooters and cars both. The etiquette is to stay on the RHS of the vehicle going the wrong way.

IMO it's not particularly dangerous, because the wrong way vehicle usually travels quite slowly.

Death rates   differ  with your  view.

From a guy who calls himself... 'I am falang’.... spelt with a L implying who he’s been hanging around with !!!  someone who considers AIDs a risk !!!  and seems to go by the mantra ‘its always the foreigners fault’.... 

 

 

Motorbikes are fine... well, they are not fine, they are of course risky - but the risk is not as severe as many who don’t ride often imply. 

 

I know loads of guys who ride around Bangkok (and Thailand), I can only think of two of them who have had serious accidents....  Both of them were drunk... That is just stupid. 

 

My Golden Rules: 

1) Never ride while drunk.

2) Don’t ride at night

3) Don’t ride in the rain (where possible) 

4) Ride at the same speed as the other traffic, but don’t speed.

5) Ride very defensively

6) At the very least (nipping to the shop) wear gloves, good helmet, proper shoes.

7) Longer rides AGATT (full face helmet).

 

 

 

 

One of  the  biggest  risks  is  DOGS and the state  of  the roads  once  you  are  away from trunk  routes

Makes me wonder how I have survived here for twelve years.

Can't say I have ever courted AIDS or bad water, the rest is part of life.

Do you leave your condo or house at all?

 

Well Im out everyday and  almost everyday I record  stuff  like this...... this from a  few  days  ago, its   got to the point where Im almost oblivious and something Id  never  see in my home country ever.

Did you see the Oscars? Alot of big, overweight women, wearing very revealing dresses, and doing it with pride. Celebrating hugeness and fat. That is what they do in America. 

Yep seems  many these  days take great  pride in looking as  awful  as   they  possibly  can,  and woe  betide anyone saying otherwise....reeks  of The  Emperors New  Clothes.

No Im not  attractive in any way but arent  stupid  enough to wear a  leotard and skimpy  shorts  to highlight how  <deleted> I look.

Good points. And I would go so far as to say most kids are highly over rated by their own parents, who seem to lose all objectivity about them. Especially when around others! 

You  only  have to  look at facebook  comments  where some of the ugliest stupidest people show themselves  off and their friends  put comments  like "beautiful  couple" or "you  look stunning babe" when the face  looks  like an overinflated marshmellow lipped  profanity, christ it makes me  laugh

Well , if you are in a restaurant out to eat ,  tell them that this isn't a playground and that they need to sit down and behave themselves and no running around and if they misbehave then tell them that we would be going straight home  and nothing to eat that evening . 

   Give them a choice , either sit down and keep quiet and order your food , or go home hungry and follow through with threat .

   Leave the restaurant and go home and let them know that we all went home because they misbehaved and the next time it happens , just ask them whether they want to sit down and behave or go home .

   Give them a choice . 

  They then know that restaurants are not playgrounds and they need to sit at the table and behave themselves  

Oh I agree entirely  but sometimes its  not  enough, more to the point though its the parents that need the smack.

There are other ways to get Children to behave , rather than hitting them .

Hitting people is wrong  whether they be adults or Children .

I always look on on bewilderment when adults hit Children and tell them to stop hitting other Children because its wrong and bad to hit people......................said whilst hitting the child .

   Teach the Child that its wrong to hit people.......................by hitting them !!!!!!!!!

Lovely  in a perfect world, but it aint perfect.

Don't get me started on the "no smacking" insanity that's IMO making monsters out of children!

Sure, it went too far back in my youth- teachers caning because a pupil got the answer wrong etc, but brats behaving badly because they know they can't be punished at all isn't making the world a better place.

Yeah but in the  mind of  many you are  now a child  beating maniac, however I agree  with you entirely

Unlike the  moggy this  will be gone already and no way is it  coming back

I think that some people when they have kids lose their capacity to see that their children are not perfect.

yeah and theyre  just "expressing themsleves"  when what they need is a  good  whack, ah thall  get members  all riled up , It  will  become beating the living shtie out of them for sure by the time theyve  finished..........pah go right ahead, tell me  their thankful I never  had  kids  blah blah etc etc. Too  many of the little  buggers doing what they want with zero parental control, screaming, shouting,  running round  stores, touching stuff they shouldnt be. Uncontrolled  little  brats who take it to adulthood then shoot their drinking buddy to death or  kill their wives cuz they threatened to leave.

Looking at the state of the world over the past twenty years - would you really want to bring a child into this world?

 

I cannot understand why adoption isn't easier as there are so many orphaned children needing a good home to get a good start in life.

So true but they sure dont make it  easy,  Thailand  loss not  mine.

Many of us are required to maintain 800000 baht or 400000 baht in a Thai bank for an extension of stay. Wouldn’t that suffice for a insurance requirement?

not if you  can be milked for more.
