AdamTheFarang Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Why do so many speak bad about a country they choose to live in? Clearly you are not proud to be "Thai" You need to be assimilated into the basic way of living. Isn't that why you lived there in the first place. Living with a woman half your age, drink driving many things that are not accepted in advanced countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSurfer Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The Cops should be Busted for "Endangerment of a Minor"... The DUMBEST thing about this whole incident is that they tied the child with the cord around HER NECK, and sent her on her way !!! CS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are these "advanced" countries you speak of? A pretty condescending view if you ask me. For the record: my wife is 3 years older than me, was born and raised here, and thinks general Thai driving habits are shocking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expression I used was 'I have seen one' I typed this slowly so it was easier for you to read. ??? Plus you missed the bit that it was the points of the screws that were inside, not the heads. Do keep up lad. Thanks for the advice. I never said you did buy one. I said ‘buy’ not bought. How would I know if you had typed it slowly? What difference would that make anyway? I typed the word ‘buy’ quickly. It’s still the same word. You’re typing not speaking. Sorry, my bad - it was the screw-tips and not heads. So the same sentiment again, don’t buy one with the ‘screw-tips’ protruding. It’s a buyer’s world out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) It's easy to say 'This is Thailand' and just expect this as a normal thing. But when I cross the border to Vietnam suddenly 90% of the riders I see wear a helmet , compared with maybe 40% here. And less cars in Vietnam so "everyone" use a bike there. Last time I checked Thailand's economy was better than Vietnam . Still they can't improve safety and just be stricter with all the bike riders here. Amazing.

Janner1 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Could it be that the General could remove his finger from it’s rectal retention device and see that the level of stupidity re-enacted everyday here needs urgent action? The carnage on the roads here is beyond any reasonable excuse, it is time for real General orders to make sure that proper steps are taken to teach people good road sense, to drive properly and within guidelines that are exceptable throughout the world. No child under 14 on motorbikes as passengers, and over 17 as drivers, proper testing and the banning of transgressors. And this should include the police. But of course tit where only the useless, worthless, and ineffectual is ever applied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living with a woman half your age, drink driving many things that are not accepted in advanced countries. Because some of us live here with families and care about those families, so hence when we see sheer stupidity endangering life, we feel we have a moral right to speak out to try to influence change. Clearly something you have no interest in and quite happy letting "stupid do what stupid does". And assimilation into basic living, which you choose to expouse upon, is by not saying nothing and living under your stone !! It is by helping others and that takes many forms including safety education something you appear to be against ( or lacking yourself ) by your apparent acceptance that tying a child to a motorcycle is acceptable and people should not complain about this stupid act if they live here !! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
