The go go bar owner is scum

I've heard alot about shop owners claiming that the frontage belongs to them. While I can understand their reasoning behind it ie it's for paying customers or for service vehicles (deliveries) I came across a situation about 2 months ago that just astounded me. I was in Vientiane getting a tourist visa (Prior to applying for retirement visa once back in Thailand). While the missus was having a cigarette near the Thai consulate, I crossed the road in order to be in the shade and out of direct sunlight. After about 30 seconds, the shop owner came out and said 'You cannot stand here'. I replied 'Pardon me, it's a footpath and I'm not obstructing access to your store'. He was having none of it. So I asked where his footpath ended. Naturally it was where the sun was beating down. It wasn't worth causing a big commotion over but later, when waiting to go into the consulate. One of the local touts said that that man always causes trouble. No wonder that he never had customers. Very strange fellow.

He certainly ran into the back of the 'bus' at speed. What a mess to both vehicles. Luckily none of the kids were killed. Freakn idiot pickup driver.

Yawn 🥱

Footpaths in Chiang Mai are not good for scooters of any kind, heck they are barely acceptable for pedestrians. Driveways are about a foot lower than the footpath so you are constantly stepping up and down if try to use them. Easier to walk on the side of the road. I'd hate to be in a wheelchair. These 2 guys however, should have moved to the left side of the road until they could see the U turn. Then carefully cross to use it.

Probably have a new law enacted, to play cards you now must wear a helmet. Just as with riding a motorbike, the law won't be enforced.

How about Mr Stillson, good for those big nut jobs

Lionel Richie, dancing on the ceiling... Well almost

Insurance companies are gonna run all over the blue truck driver with claims.... not that he will have money to settle any of them.

You had me guessing as to actual height... Are these nipples of a 18yr old woman or a 75 Yr old woman, can be a big difference...🙄

So the aluminum ring got 'lodged' around his genitals huh? How's he gonna explain next week when they find a marmite jar 'lodged' in his bum... 'Sorry doctor, I fall and land on jar!' Oh you gotta laugh.

Where's the HP sauce? No wonder they're not happy

But very tasty

So he's been here for 10 years, therefore he arrived when he was 24. A bet he's been living the good life while he's been here. Things are about to change for him and quite dramatically I'd think. Not sure if Putins still using the Wagner Group, but this fellow may end up on the Russian front....possibly the best place for him.

It mentioned in the original report that his Filipina wife said that they had to hurry to the gate. Surely this wasn't the only cause for such a tragic end. I'll admit I'm not as fit as I once was and could end up a bit breathless but to cough up blood is pretty full on. I suspect some other deep medical problem. Nasty way to go and not very nice if you witnessed it all. RIP to the deceased and commiserations to his wife.

Holy molly... well that is what was attached to the Chiang Mai forum news. Thanks for that. It explains why the photos were so different. Case closed?

It was in a Chiang Mai News forum also : https://www.fox5dc.com/news/crazed-thai-smile-passenger-rips-planes-emergency-exit-door-open-before-takeoff

Oh no! What are the gonna use for beer money now?

See he was wearing blue top and in photo just now, it's green.

Strange but this photo seems quite a bit different to one posted yesterday. Yesterday's photo must have been the Wong one. This is the white one, sorry Wong one.... Ahhh bugger I'm confused

Yep, yet another FN Nutter.

Yes and he certainly didn't look 40 nor of Asian/Chinese decent. Never judge a book by its cover? (Unless its Penthouse/Playboy etc)

I agree, you need to weigh up the odds. Fight or flight. Opposition is armed, you are not... Simple answer: Flight (Unless your name is John Wick)

No matter what, he always does the Wong thing at the Wong place and Wong time

The last time I was in Pattaya it coincided with Songkran. Local merchants were doing a booming trade in large blocks of ice. Where I was drinking the bar had 4x 44 gallon drums full of ice water, which was constantly topped up by obliging tourists (ie they were paying for the ice) I can't say it was pleasant getting a ice cold bucket of water thrown at you. It wasn't so bad once you warmed up a bit but initially it was a bit of a fright. A Thai couple came past on a scooter with the guy pleading not to get his missus wet. One falang didn't listen and drenched her with a bucket of the ice water. Then things got a bit ugly... The guy got off the scooter and pulled out a knife. Fortunately the bar was owned/run by some local police. The mammasan jumped straight in and cooled things down. I think the falang that threw the water was extremely lucky. A donation was given to the bar and the falang decided to call it a day. It toned things down a bit after that.
