Popular Post Bazerino Posted March 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2023 Before I had even started to read this, I thought that the tourist had woken the driver from his micro sleep, so it was of no surprise that the tourists possibly had, im sure I would be able to tell if someone is nodding off or picking something up off the floor, my last visa run I had a month ago was surprisingly a good experience, he kept to the speed limit & didnt nod off as he was looking at his phone for most of the journey probably texting....... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiochaser Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 14 hours ago, Bangkok Barry said: he was, in fact, according to him, just stooping down to pick up an inhaler that he had dropped That's okay then. It tells you all you need to know about Thai drivers. He put his passengers in danger by retrieving an inhaler, because that was far more important than keeping his eyes on the road. No wonder the tourist screamed, and in true Thai fashion making it someone else's fault, he blamed the tourist for reacting to his dangerous driving. Ahhhh. Picking up something dropped. That will do it. A man crashed into my old car, because he was picking up a CD disk that he dropped on the floor. My old car was parked in front of my house! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwak250 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Must admit the thai driver must have jumped so much after hearing the scream when he was just resting his eyes. Probably shouldn't have been driving the minibus though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsredrocket Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 What are Russians doing making Visa runs anyway? They are all meant to be high rollers on LTR Visas or Elite Visas. At least that is what all the butt hurt posters on Facebook say when anyone complains about the Orc Horde. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernRyland Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Enough of this nonsense already. The driver lost control because he was driving like a maniac or did something insanely dangerous and then the passenger screamed followed by him hitting the tree. Case closed.
