Another ‘quality’ visitor, who lacks the intelligence to see how stupid he is, and hides his ignorance, through his full on arrogance.

This moron needs be to locked up in a Thai jail for long enough to learn some humility and get food poisoning.

The security guards looked distressed.   Did they follow up on it.

Looks  like this Jackwagon and his friends who did nothing wrong walked across middle of the entry lane. Not a crossing. The driver, driving slowly already slowed down even more in complete courteousness 

 

Then he punches or kicks a car?

Does he know how ridiculous his dyed beard looks.........😂

Or it could be a stick-on one..........🤔

Playing the devil's advocate: How do we know the driver didn't give him the finger? Looked like he was proceeding across with his companions and something caused him to pause and react.

the driver was driving slowly and cautiously, the guy's obviously got issues.

It's tricky.  In most Western countries pedestrians pretty much always have right of way, and you aren't allowed to just drive into people.  In Thailand, it's more that pedestrians never have right of way and are obligated to move out of the way of any vehicle, whether at a zebra crossing, a red light, or on a sidewalk.

 

It takes a little time to adjust to this and people can get very angry at having their perceived right of way violated. 

 

Possibly something that should be explained on the flight over.

It's just a case of pedestrians vs cars.

 

In case you hadn't noticed: Thai drivers, in general, have zero respect for pedestrians (or other drivers)  regardless of the circumstances. 

 

I once witnessed a taxi drive through a group of people who were on a crosswalk (with a green man) and actually hit one of them gently and just kept driving.

Thank you for proving my comment.

 

A bit of “whataboutism”,to defend this clown, and good to get in your bit of Thai bashing.

 

Have a good day, which I doubt is possible.

17 hours ago, it is what it is said:

the driver was driving slowly and cautiously, the guy's obviously got issues.

 

The driver showed absolutely no willingness to stop.

 

He did his best to get in front of the pedestrians who were already crossing the road, rather than stop willingly to let them finish crossing.

 

So, they had to walk in front of a moving car or be forced to stand and wait in the middle of the road to let the car through, then suffer the same challenge with the next Thai driver.

 

But rather than stop completely, the driver then continued to roll slowly towards the group as they crossed getting uncomfortably close to them.

 

This was probably to hurry them along or to display aggression towards them for crossing the road.

 

It's a game to the drivers here, I think.

 

Probably something to do with losing face as well.

 

I had a similar experience yesterday with a taxi on a crosswalk. 

 

 

 

The driver was speaking English, but I can't pick the accent, unless it was a Thai speaking English to his Tilak which I find improbable. Any Guesses ?

It MUST have been a Russian or at least one with russian roots 🙂

Careful when crossing the road. Heaven forbid you should get run over.

So that makes it OK then, to go in for the attack ?, he did stop though.
