That's just one reason why I don't buy there. Saved me from many bouts of vomiting and diarrhea...

What are the other reasons?

Amazing that he is multi-tasking. Urinating and hanging on at the same time.

And breathing! Incredible.

Provide a link. I did.

 

I learned Thai at AUA 45 years ago.

Spade and shovel are distinctly different in shape and use. Bad analogy.

From the UK no doubt!

General hygiene of sellers, food, utensils, etc. Environment (right next to the road), taste, texture, ingredients, oil they use, etc., etc. - I either go to a proper restaurant, or cook at home.

 Not saying what the guy did was ok. But when I lived in Bangkok I saw many locals do outrageous things too.  Maybe they also be punished to the fullest extent of the law.  It doesn’t matter what nationality who does something wrong.  These types of stories are just made to make foreigners look bad.

I've lost count of the times I've seen Thais urinating in public and that includes women. Last one was a mother and daughter(?) stall holder outside my local 7/11. They just squatted down and did it next to their stall.  

I remember in Saigon back in the late 60's, there were signs on public buildings, "Don't urinate here".

   What is funny about that ?

Stomp of the gas then hit brakes, can claim it wa a giant soi rat that would have wrecked his van.

...double proof of civilization: urinating in public and publishing the incident

I see quite a few Thais (men) taking a piss in public. In fact in the Soi, I used to live in. the people two doors up would have a party and the party goers would piss down the drain on the opposite side of the road. Never a problem or a word spoken by Thais living in the Soi.

don't get me started... there's one of those green telecommunications junction boxes near my place and next to a temple which is basically used as an outdoor toilet by the locals, when you walk past it absolutely stinks. the irony is that there is a public toilet about 50 metres away. go figure.

Just like rubbish bins, some people won't walk that far

...and a cookie is called a biscuit in the UK, so what's your point?

My point was a rejoinder to another's incorrect statement.

What was your point in highlighting just my answer and making a comparison even more moronic than your name and countenance?

Up here in the mid north things are different. That vehicle would be a song taew. A tuk tuk here is an old single cylinder flat bed that makes a noise like it's name. The three wheel things are called Sam laws, I.e. three wheels, not tuk tuks

  Here in Chiang Mai, I'd call it a songthaew also.

Be arrested; why? Because it was a foreigner, or because of the Tuk Tuk? I see Thai men, esp. taxi drivers urinating at the curb, etc., frequently. No-one demanding to arrest them...

stopping, getting out of your vehicle and walking to a nearby bush is not quite the same as taking your wiener out while hanging off the end of a moving vehicle and urinating in the street with zero regard for who might see you. You dont see the difference? Really?

No matter what country he’s from, he’s a real dick …

Oh wow, that reference to my alias is just so overwhelming as if it's never been mentioned before. I guess I'll just curl up in a fetal position and slump into heavy depression.

Harden the f... up.

You should see what the idiots have twisted my nik into over the years.

Several can't be repeated on this forum.

He's shooting rabbits.  I've seen hundreds of thai men do it everywhere.  Seems to be a double standard in this case. 🤔 

Could have been worse i suppose.He could have been bursting for a crap because we've all done it haven't we?

Oh,just me then!
