"Low class"! What an uneducated comment.

Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
 

What a uneducated reply from a sensitive thin skinned whimp. Thai people call dark skin / uneducated Thais low class

"My impression of riding on Thai roads is that there this is a small, but very dangerous minority of people -mainly young bikers- who drive recklessly and at speed."

This is the problem people are unable to tell the difference between perception and reality.

There is "a small minority" in EVERY country - 

 

 

What are you smoking ?( "a small minority"), and as for the usual pathetic Thai apologists favourite  line " same in every country"  Sad.

What ever happened to that large bald English guy named Howard who used to be in the tourist police?

Howard Miller went back to the UK to live in Southend on sea, Essex.

Sorry, but I believe the death sentence should be used in certain areas. Somethings in this life are unforgivable. Street murder of Lee Rigby for instance.  Attempted mass murder. Child rape and mutilation, etc. If that upsets the lefty PC brigade on here I really do not give a damn.

Agree with every word except "Sorry". Why are you sorry ?

This racially loaded headline is deeply concerning  - it shows how little people understand about the problem.

 

There are idiots like this in EVERY country - it is NOT a Thai thing - there is no propensity in Thailand for stupidity like this - it is the same world wide.

so why does it seem to happen her more.

 

well firstly it is confirmation bias - so the real picture is distorted

secondly in most other countries the traffic cops and other regulations are enforced in such a way that if somrething like this happens it is immediatley picked up on.

 

Te fault is not just the drivers - how many police did this vehicle pass?

Why is there no strict training and enforcement of securing loads

In most countries other drivers would have stopped the man straight away.

 

The thing is that road safety is not part  of Thai transport culture - yet.

 

The fault here is not the idiots so much as the authorities that persistently permit idiots to behave like this.

 

 

There are no more idiots in Thailand than in the US or Europe - it is just that in most other countries measures are in place to stop idiots doing what they like

 

 

...so don't shrug your shoulders and wave you hands in the air and say "Thais are stupid" - they aren't.

Wow, that headline hit a raw nerve, and as usual our resident Thai apologists cries racist, and shouts "happens in every country.  Now compare the road traffic death stats. to every other country .

I'm not sure whether you're usually a farang basher, but your post leads me to believe you might be.

Of course this incident would never have happened had the farang not been in Thailand at the time, so on that basis he is culpable. 

Exactly, a farang basher and Thai apologist.

Use to be a shop on the south side of Sukhumvit between Central and South Pattaya roads.  Had a very large selection.  About 1/3rd of the way up to Central as you head from South Pattaya road, on the left.

Yup, shop still there but no cutting. I asked today and they are not aware of any where in Pattaya that will cut. Hard to believe.

Years ago Homeworks south Pattaya next to Big C had a table saw out the back and cut a large wooden board to size for free...I bought the board from them.

Yup, approx 10 years ago Homepro next to Big C (klang) had a excellent  cutting service and made to measure furniture. 

Is it possible in Pattaya to buy sheets of plywood, or MDF (8x4) and have it cut to size. Thanks in advance.

Probably just returned from a long stay overseas.

 

Germany?

So not he usual "unfamiliar" with the road, or brakes failed then, and nothing to do with Thai driving. Please dont stop defending / apologizing.

On any given day, at any given hour in any major town and city around the world, there are kids too young to drive behind the wheel.  Whether it's a filched vehicle, sneaking out with Mom's grocery getter or poor parenting, it's certainly not unique to Thailand.

 

That's not to defend it.  Just puts some perspective on all the Thai bashing.

 

 

Thats just what you are doing "defending", with the usual Thai apologist line "it happens all over the world".

So it looks like the only way of avoiding all this hassle would be through SWIFT transfers instead, 

 Is the registration only required for Bacs transfers, and not needed for Swift ?

So road rage only exists in developing countries? ??

No replies on this thread have said it ONLY happens in Thailand. Why cant you Thai apologists never accept negative news about Thailand ? Would you ever think about defending anything about your home country ?

I agree. The number of idiot farang drivers is way lower. But in my experience of popular farang places, like Bangkok and Pattaya, they cause a lot of accidents. They should know better.

Yes , I agree and I would never try to defend farangs, they should know better, but these are the same fools that go to Pattaya to buy a wife from a bar. They should know better.

("happens all over the world",) the favorite Thai apologist line,    No replies on this thread said that it only happens in Thailand. Wise up.

Apologist? For what? Maybe you haven't driven much around Pattaya and Bangkok!

Apologist for Thailand as usual. You want to blame farangs for many of the accidents. If you were to ban farangs from driving in Thailand, do you think the traffic stats. would be any better ?. It was you that said on an other thread ("there are bad drivers in the UK")   Yes there is but nothing like Thailand. What a pathetic attempt to justify for bad Thai driving.

As an experienced driver in Thailand, I certainly agree that it's not just the Thais who drive like idiots!

Pathetic as usual Mr. apologist.

This nonsense undermines your OP and confirms the "problem" stems from your own bias & attitude, not the shop assistants. Nothing said here is going to change that--once a victim, always a victim--but dotpoom, robblock, Ulysses G, kenk24, Ermster23, and NanLaew have given you rational perspectives.

 

Nonsense, most of those are your fellow Thai apologists, that always blame the farang.

For <deleted> sake, not this old chestnut again.

 

I drove from Chon Buri to Chang Mai and back within 3 days this last week. Roads were pretty good all the way. Our roads round here are great and I'll take some photos for you if you like.

 

Just having a new stretch of road put in round the corner. They used a train of water truck, blower, layer and compactor to lay the sub base. Drove it today, hard as nails. I'll post up a photo of the black top when it goes down.

 

Just the usual TVF Thai bashing. And, of course there's no corruption in the UK, ask anyone trying to draw-down a pension.

 

And at £10m per mile for a motorway in the UK you think nothing is being siphoned-off by corrupt roadbuilders/govt/planners......please.

You are on the wrong forum Mr. apologist. This is not a UK forum.
