The way they drive is so strange.... they don't seem to recognize impending danger and ease off or behave accordingly. To exit my street I have to nose out of a small cul-de-sac very carefully, and it always surprises me that my presence doesn't make traffic on the road slow or even see me and they whiz past very close at speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Farang Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 A 34 year old driving like an 18 year old. He was already too old to grow up. At least he didn't take anyone else out with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most deaths are caused by speed; an easily remedied crime if there were CCTV cameras, oh, and a police force! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been here for 27 years and can't recall ever experiencing common sense. It is remarkable how a society can develop and exist without it, but ... My favourite tale, from years ago, is when a shopkeeper refused to sell me today's Bangkok Post because he hasn't sold out of yesterday's yet. It is impossible to communicate with these people. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
