You are probably correct, when i had my accident every last baht, plus phone were stolen. A policeman handed my wife my wallet, complete with cards driving license but not 1 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again they don't care about health and safety of their citizens. True but what's often also in the picture is that someone in power is getting a cut and nobody would dare speak up / rock the boat.

Morty T Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Getting involved.....very un-thai to begin with. The normal reaction I always see, it the smartphones out video taping the victim, all the while complaining that no one is helping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To deliver some roofing supplies... They deliver the box of Leo Beer as well? Or was that part of the emergency service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with proper ambulance systems in place, anyone on spot might be required to start first aid procedures such as CPR before the respective ambulance personnel arrives.

Theyr'e paid per victim dead or alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I talk about the other 3,000 man and woman who help the people yesterday. Maybe you will need one day. When you die who will take your body? Your wife in your car? Or this volunteer? If your house flood/fire? This guys will help you. Car accident, motorbike. They save you, your kids etc. Volunteer. What you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
