Oh dear people.

It may be the Land of Smiles but you are not allowed to have fun.

Too dangerous?

 

Note to netizens.

Crossing the road here as a pedestrian is far more dangerous.

And all of them pointed out that it was the Airports duty to see to that everything is safe. Both when standing and sitting.

A very lucky lady, could have been so much worse.  Greedy sick people push ethanol and methanol down unsuspecting young people.

Jail, jail and more jail will be the only deterrent 

[Emdog]

so tell us what makes sitting down less safe than standing?

[OneMoreFarang]

I suggest moving this to the gay forum.

The taxi ride from the airport to their hotel was far more dangerous than that.

[Woke to Sounds of Horking]

More foreign idjits that wanna be Tik Tok stars.

 

Their ballsax could've been ripped off at the exit.

 

There could be copycats after their stupid video went "viral."

 

Send them back on the first plane and maybe they'll get a clue.

 

Idiotes.

[Maejo Man]
