They lied in an ambulance before, droven by an ex pineapple seller.

...had a crush on him.

What a nice man.

The true face of Thailand shining through. 

Hope the family give him some old school respect.

He has the mental capacity a 5 year old. Idiot.

The amazing Thai brains, they never stop to surprise you.  

To be very frank, there are heaps of non-Thai brains that never cease  to surprise me - you just need to have a non-biased mind to see that!

'Thai Buddhism' - it's a completely different flavour.

The same as a pagan calling themselves Christian..... 

I can't help it. 

 

'a different way of thinking', and very little Theory of Mind at all.... but in the West everyone knows someone who does some reading, could be the Bible or just some of the Hardy Boys books, where you take the perspective laid out in a book of how someone else view's things.  of course, it's not just from books we learn this.  but books are power packed.  they really are. 

I like to remember the experience every high school student including myself, in New York state some many years ago, was required to read 'Cry The Beloved Country'.... where we, as the readers, found ourselves to be a black man in South Africa.  just a book, but whenever I comment on the lack of book reading in SE Asia in general, a Thai will respond that 'not reading books is [merely] a different way of thinking'.  and here we go, a different way of thinking.  and zero Theory of Mind.  almost a sociopathic state but, I'm gonna guess, not what a 'professional' in a white coat would classify as such. 

I can't help thinking that.  yet I feel like I should have picked The Book Work, instead of Weekend Raider, as my icon.  my post isn't 100% serious.... but this idea that "Thainess" is coincident with a deeply pervasive lack of serious, as a matter of culture.... of life long book and journal reading could be more important than many of us believe.  including myself.

Ahh well, at least he repented and is paying a fiscal price

I'm happy my old ex is not an ambulance driver.

 

Her last words were "you can die for all I care. "  

 

 

 

 

oh mine

A form of Thainess.

There were no reports on the condition of the victim in the Daily News story. 

They write a big story, but nobody gives a sh... about the victim. Nice!

Disgusting. Charge him with attempted murder.

According to national statistics, there's a 60% chance he will murder his ex-girlfriend in a jealous rage and then shoot himself in the head. Ex-girlfriend's mother is 5:1 for taking a stray bullet. It's all good.

Flavoured by greed. They’ve certainly put their own spin on it.

I don't even consider Thai Buddhism to be Buddhism.......not even close.

Absolutely nothing surprising about this.

 

Thai vengeance. They never let go, and always remember.

 

The only surprising thing is that he didn't already sneakily poison him or his dogs. 

 

 

What if he had driven fast and got into an accident that killed the guy he was transporting? Probably gotten away with it.

this is stupid.

If this report is true then ALL ambulance drivers SHOULD TAKE an OATH that they will drive patients to a hospital as soon as possible, always having safety in mind......

Maybe there is an underlying message somewhere. In the West such drivers are skilled, specially trained - BUT lack the mandatory background of selling pineapples. 

In all honesty, does nobody do any background checks - in this particular position it can be a question of life or death! 

I feel a taxi driver returning 5,000B to a passenger is in the works for tomorrow.

Haven't you misspelt that? I thought in this case it was Thai hack Thai.

It is if you say it in Isaan (Lao) language. 

THINK DRIVER OUGHT TO REVERT TO SELLING PINAPPLES and one day might find need for a ambulance hope if he does he gets a nice slow driver, he deserves such   !!!!
