    The restaurant should seriously think about closing at an earlier hour, try 9-10pm. Nothing good happens after midnight, nothing.

    Just another reason to make sure you don't drive here in Thailand without a dashcam (front/back), to protect yourself.
  3. lordgrinz
    Maybe just stop smoking, that would be a "safer alternative".

    Would be nice if there was a dashcam to confirm who was at fault, I wouldn't be surprised to see the truck moving into the right lane without looking before making its turn, thus blocking the whole road.

    Teens out at almost midnight? Where are the parents?

    The Hub of "brake failures"?

    We have a canal road (two lanes separated by a yellow center line) near my house where all motorcycles have decided to drive down the center yellow line to pass, dodging each other from both directions, it boggles the mind how this is allowed. But then I remember the RTP is useless, and self serving. To drive between two tight opposing lanes traveling at 60 kph in both directions, and dodging other motorcycles coming at them, is suicidal!

    Not into oncoming traffic, especially when that oncoming traffic is a tanker truck.

    So, guilty until proven innocent in Thailand? Nice.

    Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramar was swimming in the east river 🤣

    Being that this is a country without a functions police force, everyone residing here is an open target. This is also a country with a violent and unchecked Muslim population living in the South. I would think it would very prudent to warn their citizens of the dangers of visiting Thailand.

    A chubby politician depriving himself of his trough for 4 days is now squealing for mercy, poor little piggy 😢

    I'll have to register both numbers, as it got confusing back in the states too. That's how we found it, the vet got different numbers on a few different visits while scanning.

    Wondering if my dogs microchip from USA would be sufficient, actually not sure how long they last, its been in there for almost 13 years. He was a rescue dog, so actually he has two chips already.

    Wears all black to conceal himself, but wears shorts showing a full sleeve tattoo on his left leg only....Brilliant! LOL

    Only one person can knock him down a few pegs, hopefully soon.

    Ask my wife, she'll concur ...LOL 🤣

    Yes, I am sure everyone is relieved to hear that authorities feel everything is safe, makes me seriously question who these people are and maybe a deep dive into their finances should be carried out next.

    I go a step further than the other poster, I ignore all calls, and use the fact that I am driving (or not) as an excuse 😉

    So, in reality.....Thaksin is acting Prime Minister, or should we now call him Emperor Thaksin?

    This whole project needs to be shutdown, investigated and safety checked, and probably hand this over to another contractor to handle if they find that is safe to proceed. Then sue the company handling this so far, enough is enough, this project has been a complete disaster.

    Ummm? Isn't that the modus operandi of the RTP?

    Watched a guy yesterday on a Big Bike with a smartphone between his ear and his should driving down the road, NUTS! But the worst I've ever seen was a man with no helmet and holding a small brown bottle of something and a cigarette in his left hand, in the other he was working the throttle while holding his smartphone. I just assume all Thai's have a death wish, I just don't want to be their executioner.

    If you look at the motorcycle that was heading the right direction, the truck is travelling almost the same speed when going through the frame out of control. There doesn't seem to be any significant speed difference between them, the impact would've probably have been pretty negligible, more of a bump. Either way, driving the wrong direction was a really bad idea. They should play this over and over again on the TV news as a deterrent.
  25. lordgrinz
    Not necessarily, he would be driving away from the impact at speed, thus the impact would likely have been less, I'd rather get bumped from behind then hit head-on at combined speeds.
