Happyman58 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Thought riding in pick-ups was against the law. Oh thats right the police force has just not got around to enforcing it.So this law against throwing water on road might as well tell the toad the pm kissed You think they will pay attention to it?

tuktuktuk Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Maybe the "main roads" are only the ones with single digit numbers. I can only think of 1, 2, 3 and 4. Are there others? Is there a 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey see - monkey do is the law during Pattaya's Songkran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
