Theres got to be something wrong in Finland if the people need to drink so much 

Strangely, Finland has several times been assessed as the happiest country in the world. I've been there many times and I can understand that. But there is certainly an undercurrent of alcohol abuse. In a way they are similar to Thais, many of whom only drink to get drunk.

 

Some put it down to Finns keeping their feelings inside them (again, similar to Thais), and there's actually a joke about two friends meeting for the first time in years and sitting down for a drink together. Not a word is said between them for a hour, until one of them asks the other something and the second person asks 'Are we here to talk or drink?

Not just intoxicated. They drink until they fall of their chairs. Or bikes as in this case.

 

I read somewhere that many Swedes, Or was in Scandinavians? also used to get like this. Something to do with the high taxes and strict controls on where and when they can buy alcohol back home. Obviously that doesn't apply here.

You are correct, they drink fall out of their chairs and start again. It can and does go on for days? In the winter in Finland, especially in the North, there is not much else to do.

Drink drivers kill innocent people eventually. He should be jailed and then deported for being a drunk scumbag. 

 

I got life changing injuries from a drunk drink driver when I was 10 years old. His punishment, nothing because the attending cop was a mate of his. That was justice in the early 70's.

Sawang Boriboon rescuers who aided the drunken man said the tourist was Finnish without revealing his name. The tourist was found a little past midnight in Soi Khao Talo in the Nongprue subdistrict, Chonburi’s Banglamung district on December 18th

Who needs 4am closing when you can be a pro like this guy.

I really hope it happens, you deserve it after that comment

 

how many people die because of drunk idiots driving in Thailand......

How many die not because of drunk idiots. I’m numb to it all and couldn’t care less to be perfectly honest. 
 

And I’ve already been taken out once in my life by an incompetent driver, thanks though.

2 weeks ICU, 4 months total stay, 4 or so years of rehab and lifelong disabilities. Such is life

The police are smarter in Australia than where you come from they try to get the drunks off the road before they kill someone not after.

Fins obviously polled PM after having a few. If polled AM with hangovers Im sure the result would have been different...555.

Riding one of those lethal " Automatic " Scooters probably, and not understanding that Automatic does not include Auto Pilot.

Just saw ALLThaiedup's post above and realized I repeated almost exactly his same words..

More interested in catching the dangerous 50 to 65 year old overstayers. and street vendors who aren't paying the T money.

Finland 500ml Heineken 3 euros 29.

Thailand 620ml Heineken less than 2 euros.

 

No wonder Finns drink on holiday.

Lucky guy.. if it were anywhere else he would be facing a driving suspension and possibly jail time

He wouldn't if the police didn't attend the scene, as seems likely here.

I'm from Finland, and it's definitely not the happiest country ????

 

That country is full of angry, envious people. On top of everything else, it's overpriced! Glad to be here in Thailand !

I flew Finnair this Summer.  The only airline not offering free drinks; G & T well over my price range.  Double my usual price to UK AND no overhead locker space; had to sit 14 hours with my carry on between my feet TWICE!  No wonder this burke hit the bottle hard when he arrived.

The airline would go bankrupt if it offered free booze to that lot. I did Biz Class on their A350 which was OK, but the flight on to Manchester was bad!

[PETERTHEEATER]

How did the responders know the address of his accommodation? What happened to the motorcycle?
