They are rough as chuff.

They should be back home on the frontlines in the snow, fighting a war which they started.

Indeed. Most if not all are now Russian ghettos. It's such a sad sight to behold.

They are literally everywhere now. In every tourist hotspot, in every condo building, in every restaurant and on every train, Thailand is littered with these Russian draft dodgers who show a complete disregard for local laws and customs. The kids are the worst, they have no respect for anything or anyone and the parents just laugh it off. Just the other day I had a bust up with a Russian mother about how her son was behaving in public, I told her straight that she should be embarrassed and she should teach him how to do things correctly. All this was going on whilst a Japanese couple with kids were sitting on the opposite side of the train. Those children were so well behaved and it was such a refreshing sight, I even gave them a thumbs up and had a pleasant chat with them with my limited Japanese. I pointed this out to her to which she gave me the middle finger and told me to eff off... Lovely people they are, but to be honest I have come to expect nothing less.

You have totally missed the mark here, beachlover. My OP was about the baby who was on the bike without a helmet, driven by an adult. Does your philosophy also extend to that child who was legally incapable of making the decision for herself?

I don't.

Fair point & duly noted. Just let em carry on regardless and to hell with the consequences... One less Thai on the take, right?

How do you know I am not Thai?

such a weak, defeatest attitude. Martin Luther King would be turning in his grave!

I guess we should all follow Thailands lead, shouldn't we?? Imagine the state of the world then by christ. Back to the dark ages..

Just like Jim Morrison said in 1967... "The West Is The Best..."

spot on.

close all borders and cancel all Russian & Chinese visas. place would be a hell of a lot nicer!

....I'm sure I just heard the sound of a tank rolling past my window.

so why the constant negligence and blatant disregard for laws on the road then?

who are?

do you think they are capable of learning?

They just cannot handle ANY form of competition, can they?..

Jaysus. That is grim.

How does Thailand rank in the global car/motorbike accident index?

.... We've all been there! Luckily never caught by the po-po though... Surprised they didn't summon them to the station for a bit of finger pointing!

What's that got to do with you, and what has that got to do with my OP???

Yes I do. And I ride a car as well.. What on earth is your point?

how have you come to that conclusion?

what then, in your opinion, has the lack of putting a helmet on a babies head got to do with?
