In Thailand, being naked in the public place is regarded rude.

So many of the Thais keep their usual clothes on even while they bathe at sea.

 

 

 

I live in a small town/village up country and it is not unusual to see Thai men young and old going about shirtless.

This is the only country I've  been to where the police don't actively patrol  the roads and rely on 'checkpoints'.

Pass by any Highway police station and there will always be at least one patrol car sitting parked there.

A German man is facing four serious charges following a hit-and-run incident at a police alcohol checkpoint in Pattaya, which resulted in severe injuries to a police officer.

 

Despite refusing to provide his name or consent to an alcohol test, officers transported him to the hospital for testing, which confirmed his blood alcohol content exceeded legal limits. Police identified the suspect as 30 year old Christopher, a German national who had rented the motorcycle involved in the incident.

 

CCTV footage from the checkpoint clearly recorded the crash, and this evidence has been submitted to investigators for the legal proceedings against him.

 

Christopher now faces multiple serious charges, including:

 

• Drunk driving and reckless driving causing physical and mental harm to others, as well as property damage.

 

• Failing to assist or notify authorities immediately after the accident and fleeing the scene.

 

• Violating orders from traffic officers under the Land Traffic Act.

 

• Resisting arrest and obstructing officers in their duties.

 

As for the injured officer, doctors at Pattaya City Hospital are monitoring his condition, which includes minor brain bleeding and a small fracture in the posterior nasal cavity. He will remain under observation for 3-4 days, and should his condition not improve, he may be transferred to Chonburi Hospital for further treatment.

For the benefit of the confused poster, being shirtless means walking about in public without wearing a shirt.

hopefully straight to the "Bangkok Hilton" ! What a fool...

Yes, hopefully one less to worry about. We need to feel safe walking the streets at night. Not easy when so many are drinking and driving. I see many farangs of all ages walk out of bars and get on their motor bikes. For the cost of a Bolt, is it worth putting yourself at physical risk?

I live on the darkside in Pattaya and see shirtless Thai men all the time. 

If Thailand only had a police force that would jail and or fine people for breaking the law a lot of problems,not all,would be slowly on the road to recovery. It's very rare to see a police vehicle on the road,sometimes not even once a week.WHY?

Motorcycles are prohibited from using expressways in many Chinese provinces.

IIRC this holds true for Thailand as well.

Because once a week they bring the shiny police vehicles out to chauffeur paying customers through the unbearable traffic and red lights.
