Sounds like a typical over pass overtake, where the thai just assumed the other car would get out of the way.

Happens all the time in Koh Samui, and it's a daily scare if you don't keep your eye on the road,

and move out of the way quickly. Since thai's hate to face responsibilty for their mistakes, it's not to surprising that the driver fled. All the passanger were young and had a whole life ahead of them, it really is a shame for their families, and if this was a local thai accident, all hell would break loose for their loss.

Very sad indeed for the tourist.

Sorry, what do you mean by "over pass overtake"?

Another car trying to pass are a car going slower,

or safely due to the conditions. That is over pass overtake.

Thailand roads are not safe.

I repeat for the white people looking to visit here - Thailand roads are not safe.

Every single road in the Kingdom is crazy dangerous. I risk my life driving my car 15 minutes to Macro. At least 10 speeding pickup trucks, buses, or 10-wheelers fly past me on every trip (at 130-150km+).

Thailand roads are not safe.

Agreed, Thai roads are not safe, because Thai people refuse to take responsibility for their actions, whether driving, work habits, or lack of ability.

However, it was a very strange comment for this reason: Are the roads any safer for brown people or black folks..??

It's unusual that the Author writes as if American, but adds a racist comment....

So could we then start with bashing the Dutch?

We could have another poll !

Just read on an online Dutch newspaper that it is reported and confirmed a Dutch national ,

named Gijsbert T is arrested on joining a redshirt riot , vandalising government property ,

it is all shown on video as proof .....in Chiangmai .

All these farang partisipants are starting to give us a bad name , what the f.ck was he thinking ,

now instead he probably will see 4 walls for a year or so .

Another idiot rounded up!

Do you have a link to that Dutch article?

.

Maybe it was this one:

The video:

Thats not good !

Make that three and counting !

Hm, you don't seem to be deterring anyone.

Good.

Im in England right now came back for my brothers wedding and there not letting me go back to Thailand until all this trouble cools down

Rather than be sad, be happy that your family loves you and cares about your well being. How many farangs in Thailand have burnt bridges abandoning wives, children parents etc.? Congratulations.

So shut up, enjoy the extended family time and accept the fact that people do care about you because you must be a good guy.

Consider the implications if they were pushing you to go back.........

Agony aunt over here.

It"s called projection >>>>

Is it really fair to publish peoples name for alleged sex offences? Given that it only alleged and not proven.

Having your name published as a potential pedo.. could totally ruin your life... he might be innocent

Yes its legal. If you are arrested for anything here, your name can be published.

The question asked was "is it fair" not "is it legal" . Try and keep up JT grown ups are talking NOW !

Sorry about the "almost joke"

I started the post because it is just so difficult to respond to some of the people here and keep it civil. When I realised what I had written, I figured that someone would pick up the unintentional innuendo, and so I decided to get in first.

So you don't like 'sloppy 2nds' either?

TOOLATE! (that's a Thai word, not too late in English)

I just can't believe that I tried to stop the obvious innuendo response, but you still managed to find something. Hat's off to you but, well actually I don't know what to say!

Anyway, thanks, you gave me a laugh. A better joke than my nearly joke.

Correction, it was an "almoist joke" ! Dohhh

Ref " to get in first " Am i right ? you just opening your mouth to change feet now !

Let's try and keep it civil. No, on second though, keep it civil.

But sometimes it is just so difficult to keep a civil tongue in your 2 typing fingers

On occasions I want to forget the civil tongue and just use the 2 fingers.

And anyone with a dirty mind - that is NOT what I meant, shame on you.

Wow , chatted up , chastised and a joke (almost) all in 30 mins .

Now thats entertainment !

"your beautiful part of Thailand " My arse ! Chiang Mai is 'lifting' pall & is rampant with all of the problems you label other "major tourist areas" added to that it's smelly ! I'm sure your message that Chiang Mai isn't interested in encouraging more tourists to visit is shared by everyone . You narrow minded Dope !

Might one hazard a guess that you live in Pattaya?

One might but one would be so wrong !

Would one like another guess or is one going to remove one's smug head from one's arse and say something relevant ?

Ouch, shot down it flames in Churchilian wit. Hmm, how about Bangkok Sukhumvit Soi 4 then? There again with your affection for "arse" perhaps a pinker zone may be more appropriate?

As to relevant if you want to criticize smelly CM fine, but tell us where you are that is so much better, and of course better for what does come to mind. Come on don't be shy.

I'm finding your obsession with my arse and it"s location a tad disconcerting , i'm sure if you look hard enough you'll find a forum thread more suited to your needs . Just not this one !

Notice to all foreigners planning a Thailand Holiday.

Why take chances. Protect yourself...

come to Chiang Mai...... not a jet ski in sight...

No don't come to chiangmai we don't want all you tourists up here spoiling our beatiful part of Thailand. Don't have the problems that they have in all the major tourist areas can live peacefully here. If all the tourists pour in then it will ruin the place and become another shit hole like Pattaya full of bars and prostitutes and scammers.
