Then he dumps a bucket of water on your head, and smiles at you with a BIG STUPD grin and laughs loudly in your face.......And says to his farang friend.....Yea man we nailed his azz..

Yes, what could be classified as an assault in many countries, becomes a right in Thailand!

TAT speak for "many people will get absolutely bladdered for a Week or so ".

They know its going to happen, but do nothing to reduce the appalling Road Death Toll that occurs every year.

Tomorrow we will get the spending prediction from them also
