Just Weird Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 7 hours ago, Bangkok Barry said: Funny how when some people move to Thailand everything is rosy and those people readily accept behaviour they never would back home. If someone was constantly blowing a whistle outside where you live back in Farangland, all day long for no practical purpose whatsoever, I'm 100 per cent certain you'd be doing something about it, as this chap feels he needs to. Perhaps what he needed to do about it was not move in there if he was so irritated by a whistling guard? He had a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone pay any attention to these clowns, whistle or no whistle? When parking, or dealing with traffic, I only find them a distraction.

I wouldn't mind him doing his job if it had any purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChidlomDweller Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Same thing with the guards on the BTS platforms. Some blow so loud they're a tinnitus risk. I make sure to stand well away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt1591 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) The MRT guys used to be the worst. Lately, they have toned it down quite a bit. I have a couple "Storm" whistles. I thought I'd give the guards a thrill one of these days. These whistles are so loud they make one's ears ring!

It's their culture. ANY time you come up to a situation you don't like, you have 3 options. 1) Learn to live with it. 2) Can't live with it, try to change it. 3) If the above two don't work, seek life elsewhere.

kevc Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Theres two stand outside Terminal 21 blowing whistles at the crossing I often wonder if drivers know who's blowing what whistle for what reason. Thye might as well not be there for all the help they are stop pedestrians for the cars and then let the cars still go thru when the pedestrians are crossing.Sent from my SM-P901 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
