Popular Post dlclark97 Posted October 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2021 Must have been a Thai. Otherwise nationality would have been shown in bold letters. My wife and I followed an obviously impaired driver at about 10:00 a.m. the other day. Potentially witnesses if there had been an accident. After many near misses the driver appeared to have made it home. In the USA I would have been on my cell directing the police to our location. Some do start early here. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AhFarangJa Posted October 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2021 He or She must make a habit of it, They already redesigned the back of the car. Being spirited away by the local plod, and no name given intimates it is someone who has connections. No doubt we will not hear another word about it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JonnyF Posted October 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2021 I remember riding back from Rayong to Bangkok on my bike one Sunday, I stopped next to an old rusty pickup at a red light at about 9:30am and he wound the window down and stuck his hand out to offer me a swig of his half drunk bottle of Chang. He was absolutely wasted. Could barely sit upright. What was even worse, the lights turned green before I could remove my helmet to have a swig.???? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard as a Toolmaker. Just outside the base was a little bar with a lunch counter. EVERY workday around 11:30, the owner would line up three shots of whiskey at about a half dozen seats at the lunch counter. As soon as the lunch whistle blew, the regular imbibers ran into the bar, slammed down their money and the shots, then stagger slightly back to work. Obviously that was a few decades ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often get the feeling that Thailand society is at the same social awareness/freedoms stage as the UK and US were 60 years ago but with the complexity and conveniences of modern life that we didn't have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Record Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Probably a Thai I hear you say, maybe it was, because Farangs would never do such a thing..........right. UK. About 85,000 people are convicted of drink driving related offences each and every year in England and Wales alone US Stats: About 1.5 Million DUI's in a given year.

Stargeezr Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Could this be the reason that alcohol sales are still banned. Seems to be the logical reason to me. Thai alcoholics. Geezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more example showing how the 2-5pm alcohol-selling ban, thought up a few years ago by a nitwit, is effective and does deter people from getting intoxicated.

The total ban on Sales will sort that out. Remove this poison from the shelves, it kills million every year and causes so much trouble to society it should be on the dangerous drugs list.
