Another reason to avoid mixed drinks or hard liquor while out, especially while vacationing in a 3rd world country, stick to beer in a bottle that you see opened in front of you.

Lack of working running or brake lights is the norm here, I see tons of cars with one out of 3 brake lights working, and even more motorcycles with no rear running lights. I assume these people have no idea how dangerous this practice is in Thailand, last thing you want to do is to drive with no running lights or brake lights working in Thailand (Suicidal).

You literally can't make this stuff up, two accidents, two idiots and complete chaos. TIT

I hope they do a deep dive into Zelensky and his finances when this over, he should be pretty rich on US taxpayer money by now. I also hope they arrest him when this is all over, I'd like to see the warmonger in a prison cell for the rest of his life.

Not good that the other diver did a hit-and-run, but sounds like she killed herself by changing lane position without looking, in what appears to be from the breakdown lane into a lane of traffic.

I would guess this happens thousands of times every day here, he needs to do a better job of hiding it though.

I wish I could post the dashcam video, no voice in it, but I loved watching him scurry back to his BMW huffing and puffing with his tail between his legs....LMAO

Met one yesterday (same shorts and T-shirt look) on the way back from picking up my daughter at school, I was stopped at an intersection with a traffic cop directing traffic. A BMW M5 pulls up next to me over the yellow line facing oncoming traffic next to my car (I'm like what?), I assume he was trying to cutoff the oncoming traffic to turn right into a parking lot that was there, NOPE! Soon as the guard gave the OK for traffic in my direction to move, he floors it into the intersection as we are moving forward, almost hitting the traffic cop/guard and the side my car as he cut me off. He then goes about 150ft and slams on his brakes in front of me and gets out of his car and approaches me (all 5 ft 9" of flexing gym ape - tattooed everywhere). Soon as he got to my window, I asked him "are you F&%King stupid?", he then sees I am not a scrawny 150lb Thai that he can intimidate, mumbles under his breath and then heads back to his car as I told him "learn how to drive you "F&%King idiot". Maybe he should go back to the Russia and head to the war front and show the Ukrainians how bad*ss he is.....LOL My daughter asked me "Daddy, why does he look like a monkey?" ......I almost died laughing!!!

I believe the exact comment he made was "I did not have sexual intercourse with that woman", technically ....correct....LOL

So he is trying to start WWIII before he leaves office? I mean are the Democrats just addicted to war, or are they struggling with mental illness?

First they need to unblur his face 😉

Vote buying and corruption appear to be the economic strategies of the Pheu Thai party, this should end well, not.

But you don't understand or believe a Thai could be driving dangerously and scaring her to death? I put more weight on her version of the story, than that of a Thai motorbike taxi driver.

Other than my wife, who got her license in the West, I am scared to death every time I am in any vehicle with a Thai driver.

He's a Farang, easy target, easy money, no repercussions. Thai locals are ignored, business as usual.

Almost everyone you meet here is in debt that would make most of us foreigners want to commit suicide, they have almost no way of paying back the debts they have racked-up, let alone add new debt. I mean is there even a check against peoples ability to repay debt here?

They better add significantly to the trough for that to happen

My daughter thinks I am her personal slave, technically I am, and she is definitely a Princess 😜 I've created a monster!

That's what I told my wife, we will never see positive changes in our lifetime, especially after what happen in the last election. We are decades away from even the most modest of changes, anything else is a century or more away. It's sad because other countries in Asia are quickly surpassing Thailand, either they smarten up, or they will sink under their own ignorance.

The RTP is nothing more than a mafia, at least that is how it is currently run, and with basically no oversight. They should be disbanded and a new police force should be put in it's place, one with government and community oversight. Let them earn their positions by merit, not by purchasing it with ill-gotten gains.

Dude, just buy a motorcycle and drive it without a helmet or license like the locals.

Pretty much the same attitude I have, done with this country, let them do whatever they want. We live among barbarians, they have no intentions of becoming a civilized society. We have the same issues playing out in some demographics in the West as well, the barbarians are trying to make a comeback.

Which means its doomed to failure here in Thailand, but I think culture needs to change as well, but that's obviously another doomed endeavor.

Haven't been in a bar in almost 35 years, and I stand by my post, some people just have blinders on.

Not sure about RTP per area, but I once did a lookup of the RTP to population ratios of Thailand vs the USA (per 100,000 population), they were almost identical. Which begs the question, where are all these RTP officers, and what are they doing all day?
