  1. Tried today first time, Could not get rhough the bollards in many places, too close together. Asd well, no speed can be maintained, all, stops and more stops and no go's Waste!

    Have ya ever thought that maybe their attempting to slow you down to protect the pedestrians?

  2. Yes ,the majority are ,but in our local club you often here the Boss Man rollicking riders for 2abreast ,and doing breakaways and their sod the motorist attitude.They remind me of Fortuna drivers a bit.Im the one puffing at the rear.[emoji479][emoji467]

    It's an idiotic attitude that eventually gets one killed or injured over the long-term. The 'moral high-ground' card plays well in litigious American, but means next to nought here in the Land of Smiles. Ok, Somchai's insurance company pays you 100K THB for injuries that will cost you a few hundred thousand dollars (quid) to take care of in your own country. And of course, Thai hospitals won't give you the pain killers you need to heal and recuperate, so it's back to the home country you go, hubris and all. But by all means, keep that attitude bicyclists. Keep the attitude.

  3. Since when has any lane primarily reserved for a car been respected by a motorcyclist or bicyclist?

    As a matter of fact, those lines on the road mean virtually nothing here in Thailand, regardless if you are in a car, or on a motorcycle or bicycle. If you think different, your freaking hubris will get you killed or injured.

    "But, but, but....I have the moral, legal, and ethical high-ground."
    Keep repeating that to yourself in the hospital. It can be your mantra. You will never understand your own abject stupidity.

  4. My mother-in law, an 87 year old Thai, has never worn a bra, and 90% of the time gets around topless. I would love to see the MP reaction if he came face to face with hercheesy.gif

    Has she in her 87 years grind her bums and spread her legs for public display, while going about braless?

    Don't show Prayut this:

    I bet she was just a firecracker when she was younger. And hasn't lost it. And would be arrested doing that in the back of a pickup in a 2016 Songkran parade and promptly deported too, I'm sure.

  5. Funny that. Not even less than 100 years ago you'd find Thai women walking around top less. It was then "western" influence that brought in such conservatism around in the 50s. Now sexy dancing and being scantily clad is some sort of evil western import again?

    This man is an absolute farce from small issues to glaring huge ones.

  6. What a pisser!

    The fight on the floor looked like a bitch fight gone wrong.The guy in white was waiting for Mr Red to short-time himgigglem.gif

    Fine him 1000 baht......500 for the fight & 500 for the supposed debt.

    Even though i got no idea who owes who!blink.png

    Maybe an extra 500 for stabbing him; maybe not. Life's cheap here, but if you just maim another person here (and you're a Thai national), all's well for whoever comes out unscathed, generally the person with the weapon.

    *Disclaimer: Farang! Don't try the weapon angle. There's a two tier justice system for you, farang. Only Thai nationals can have and use weapons and get away with a minor fine.

  7. I was driving up Thapae Road a few weeks back, when a cyclist jumped out onto the road infront of me. I hit the horn and narrowly avoided me, and he pointed at the image of a cyclist on the road, suggesting it was a bike lane. Little did I know, but now about one third of Thapae Road width is for cyclists. Even more surprising is that some people think the car drivers will notice, and they will put their life on the line to enforce it.

    So you were 1) in the wrong 2) not observant of your surroundings or the road markings and 3) its somehow his fault..

    Yeah you sound like a car driver..

    While attending University, a bicycle was my only mode of transport, and I rode daily on heavily traveled roads. Yeah, sure, under many circumstances a cyclist has the clear right-of-way, but I never was stupid enough to ignore the fact that any collision with a 2000+ lbs vehicle would leave me the loser no matter who was at fault - a fact that seems totally lost on today's hubris inclined, "I have the same rights to the road as cars" bicyclists. Unlike the US, if you get creamed by a car or motorcyclist while on your bicycle, your chances of having them pay for your hospitalization is 50-50, if they even bother to stop. Much easier to take their vehicle to Shady Somchai's Body Shop and have the ding repaired in the hood than report the incident to their insurance company, no less the BIB.

  8. The Chinese already have a dedicated bike lane: right down the middle of any road, generally headed the wrong way. Right up there with a dedicated sidewalk. Exactly the same. I do not jest. Someday I'll have to spend a day and take pictures. How more of them don't end up on the TV News Darwin Award Report is beyond me.

  9. This happened 6 years ago. Her 2 year sentence was suspended. 48 hours of probation/year x 4 years. 6 years later, she's only done 90 hours and is a defiant, entitled little twerp. Nice BMW she was driving, age 16, no driver's license (as if that means anything), top of the line mobile phone no doubt.

    Parents paid lots of money to make this all go away. That also buys them the right to thumb their nose at the puny probation department run by lo-so's.

    If ever an Army attitude adjustment was needed......

    Considering she has chosen not to perform community service, than her 2 year sentence should be reinstated. But, TIT and money talks.
