Otherwise why hand over 500 Baht and some leaves. The driver must have assumed the boy was a giant panda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the clip differently. I was just thinking how quickly she braked after impact, as if she indeed saw the boy and expected him to move. And braked immediately after she hit him. The typical game of chicken many Thai drivers seem to play whenever I cross a road here. When someone actually slows down or chooses a different path to avoid hitting me, I’m so surprised and grateful I give a thumbs-up or a wai.

How I hate watching 2 people in a car , in the front chatting to each other. They can't look at the road , they must look at each other ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtong Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 100% the driver fault. the 500thb voluntary "fine" paid to the kids seem to be totally in line with the police fines of drunk driving, driving without licence, etc. the kid parents should bare some responsibility too, a street is never the playground, although nor a permit to hit anyone. i feel the kid parents only ground to complain that no "wai" was offered with the money for the kid. "wai" settlement is big part of local crime solving/forgiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive no idea , like you, what the speed limit is in that moobahn gated or not its a road. In more civilised countries of course there are "sidewalks/pavements" where its MUCH safer Sorry but your dead wrong in this case. Its in a gated village. You never lived in one, I am currently living in one. Kids play on those roads all the time. They are totally different from normal roads. They are made to go really slow and are not a true road as you have outside of gated villages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
