Sanook caption: "Hey! What you do?"

 

Sanook reported that bemused police and shoppers busy buying Chinese New Year gifts at a bustling Chiang Mai intersection were perplexed at the antics of an 88 year old Brit.

 

Mr Charles crashed his Honda City into a police traffic kiosk on the Muang Samut Road heading towards the Muang Mai market in the northern Thai city.

 

A picture showed the car on the sidewalk.

 

Then he got out and proceeded to urinate up against his car. 

 

As expletives were hurled at the foreigner in both Thai and English he continued what he'd started. 

 

The Chiang Mai resident was then taken into custody and would be charged with offensive behavior in public and causing damage to the traffic box in the accident.

 

He was also set to be breathalysed for alcohol.

 

The incident happened on Monday at 11.40 am said the media who called the foreigner "granddad" in their headline. 

 

Both Muang Chiang Mai police and Tourist Police got involved.

Note to self - Take a last pee before I leave the bar. 88 yo and still out and about. OG will have a story to tell.

[SAFETY FIRST]

Go the Pom's. 

 

Good to see that the old guy wasn't crossing the busy road beneath a pedestrian overpass. 

 

DUI, much better option

At that age he may not have had a choice, when you gotta go , you gotta go.

Maybe that's why he crashed his car into the kiosk... If you REALLY gotta go, how can you drive on?

Just another brit, that makes us look like fools. Unfortunately, an over represented nationality standing for bad publicity.

We used to be fine in Thailand, and with a Sterling reputation, until budget air travel started, and the lower classes that used to frequent Spain and Greece could afford to come here.

[Guderian]

Never mind the rest, was he wearing a face mask?

[kingstonkid]

Nothing to see here lol Just an old guy that got confused.  Parked the car in the parking spot and could not hold it. 

 

My father god bless his soul decided that he needed a nap so when he stopped a a red light in the middle lane of the road did so.

For some reason no one thought it was funny. Police even had the temerity to take away his license all because he did not get enough sleep the night before.

... or he might have believed it was a occupied Public P(ee) Box and just couldn't keep it any longer - if so, fair enough ...

Male or female! I pulled over one day while riding my motorcycle to stop and help a young lady who I thought had a flat tire. I looked down and she was having a pee on the other side of the car. I wished her well and left.

After crashing into a police box I think he just started one...

But it looks like he's off-side?

[shackleton]

Still driving at 88 years old probably needed to pee after hitting the police box as already mentioned when you have to go you go

better than peeing  on yourself ????

[thisisrascal]

There should be an upper age limit on driving.
