What's the reason for this in Thai society?

 

Is it just a pure psychotic ego of being requested to yield for somebody doing something good, or the power of slowing down someone in need of medical assistance, or what is it? 

In Thai society there are myriads of intricate and very strict rules and regulations on how to behave and treat others. People are more or less forced/obligated to behave in a certain way and I think this causes lots of tension and frustration.

All that apparently does not apply to how to behave in traffic, it’s every man/woman for themselves. I have seen a bus driver help an old lady get on the bus, and not one minute later he deliberately cut off a woman and child on a motorbike, because he didn’t feel like waiting for two seconds. People in Mercedes Benz and expensive cars like that flash their lights and expect you to get out of their way. If you don’t, they will run you over and say it’s your own fault.

Besides, this guy is a police captain, he can pretty much do as he pleases. This is the country of ‘do you know who I am?’ after all. Privileged people here just expect to be able to get away with murder (quite literally).

Great question. They've got worse over the years and will continue to get worse.

 

Stupid, uneducated, ignorant, Muppets that know nothing serious will be done about it.

 

He'll be looked after, even in an inactive post. He'll hold his head high, have some excuse and lie ready at hand. The fact he followed them and continued to harass them says it all.

 

Imagine facing something like him and his gorillas in a police station.

Scary

In this particular case I would say it's a case of "Do you know who   what I am?"

 

(Answers on a 500 baht note, please!)

He probably ripped off an unsuspecting civilian in order to pay the 500 Baht. 

People like this must bevremoved from the forse, evenzo his chef for paid his fine. What a a h o l e.

Yes, it's a by product of a hierarchical social structure. 

The ego shines when everyone is either above or below you on the social ladder 

This has been a longtime issue in Thailand as motorists tend to ignore the sirens while sleeping at the wheel or cops not giving priority to these ambulances when the officers are directing/blocking the traffic.

 

Although I am not a fan of the German mentality, I was surprised, and it took me a little while to understand why they were doing that, when, on the motorway during a slow down for any reasons, the cars were driving  or stopping on the emergency lanes, or as close as possible to the protection rails to leave the main road open, free from any vehicles: No sirens, no police/ambulance/firetruck in sight....just in case

 

That what should be done everywhere ( I must admit, the first time that happened, I engaged in the "free" lane ... I am sure I have been forgiven for my stupid move, out of ignorance )

 

Thumbs up to the German on that one

One could say uncivilised. 

I hope the next victim is him the reason he didn't show up.  The RTP are lace top to bottom with these corrupt and arrogant the reason nothing will ever change until a hole is dug <deleted> or them.

Not his fault you know.

He will be very sorry because his life as he knows it will now be over.

Which of course it won't, he is a senior police officer, he will continue on his merry way!

Typical Thai police behaviour; they are above the law; menacing actions YET he STILL keeps his job!  Banana Republic.

Hard to understand the mind set of these morons. What if it was his mother in the ambulance?

And he still have " Driving Lisence " ??????.

"Do you know who I am?"   said the senior police officer......

 

yes we all know now.......

I think it is aberrant behavior on the part of this one individual. My one ambulance ride with siren and lights was unhindered by similar A holes.
I have observed other instances of people moving aside in like cases.
Bad behavior on the part of one obviously unfit for his job,

Impolite. 

File a "manslaughter attempt" and see, what happens. 

But, yes, it always depends on who exactly is on the gurney in the ambulance and until this endless selfishness of Thai drivers does not get re-educated away .........

As a cop, he should be fined dearly and then thrown off the force to set an example; trust me, it woud never ever happen again with a semi-divine representative of the RTP ???? 

This is the outcome of a RTP person thinking he is above the common people of his country, bloody retard! He should be made an example of but that will never happen in Thailand - SADLY!!

must show, in any way, how important you are to build/maintain a better status level.

 

My extended family lady boy is consumed with 'looking rich and important' / 'the family looking rich and impotant'. This extends as far as him making the plans for a massive Chinese style banquet when I die (I'm not sick).

 

He's even told my son what money he wants to organize and pay for the banquet.

 

Son has told him several times 'there's won't be any banquet and if theere's any 'event' he (son) will organize it'. Lady boy's pleading response 'but we must have a big banquet to show how rich the family is'. 

 

No banquet.
