OK - Bar Stool Banter, but I heard of a case recently where a farang was involved in an accident with a Thai. Thankfully no injuries, but there just happened to be a couple of motor bike cops passing at the time, and asked the farang to show his driving licence - which he did, but then asked the police to check the Thais driving licence. He was told "Thai not need driving licence"!!!

 

Sounds like perfect Bar-stool banter (rumours), but also sounds perfectly believable... 

 

I'll wait to see IF something like this ever happens to me....     "I'll show you mine if they show you theirs" !!!!!

I was involved in an accident decades ago, other guys fault, he had no license, van not insured or taxed either.

At first the BiB tried to pin the incident on me, but I had photo's too many of which we proving the lies the other guy was telling... I was polite but stubborn, in the end they sided with me as there was no way they could legally pin the incident on me - BiB were fair, but only because they were forced to be..... and I've found that out in other situations too, the BiB will side with the foreigner and will be fair when there 'easier' other options (path of least resistance) are / is exhausted.

No...  ask MalcomB - he knows all about it....  Thai's will happily pay for all the damages and compensation - those who suggest otherwise are Thai bashers !!! 

As usual you are making things up.

The victim was the Thai and the guilty party was a foreigner. Can we stay on topic?

 

A foreigner you don’t mention, you are only mentioning Thais that don’t exist. It didn’t happen.

 

You seem to think you do not have to do the right thing because some Thais don’t.

 

And by your comments you feel victimized by the Thai people.

They don’t want you here, why don’t you leave? Serious question.

You haven’t mentioned the foreigner causing the accident and doing a runner.

You just want to make up stories to fit your pathetic narrative.

You can not bring yourself to admit that it is a dog act, because a foreigner did it and the Thai was the victim. If the roles were refused you would be on your high horse about the nasty Thai who left the foreigner for dead.

Getting sick of the bigoted false claims of yours.

Nope...   The Op is about an accident where they Foreign rider paid 4000 baht in damages. 

 

A sum far greater than similar other circumstances when a Thai crashes into a foreigner....

The foreigner did a runner ???....  he just left and didn't pay anything ?

Or, did he pay a reasonable sum for damages ? 4000 baht.

He paid a lot more than a Thai would pay should the circumstances be different....

 

You see my comments as 'Thai bashing'... but thats because you are unable to recognise balance and ONLY EVER side with a Thai whatever the circumstances and thus anyone not 100% in alignment with your delusion is Thai bashing !!

In short - no one should be leaving the scene of an accident....    whether Thai or foreigner and there should be charges for that and treatment and fines should be equal. 

 

But... thats not what happens here....  Thai's hit others and speed off....  thats very common, I've wintessed it numerous times in person.  Here we have a foreigner doing the same thing, except he didn't just speed off, he left 4000 baht in damages.

 

You will argue this of course, but do you think a Thai would have left 4000 baht damages for the other Thai ???

 

This is why YOU are bias Malcy - you are simply blinded to any reality here.

Yawn - you really are particularly dim aren't you... 

 

A couple of incidents over 30 years and you think thats unlucky because I've mentioned them a few times on this forum tou therefore assume they are cumulative experiences....    

 

Malcy - just for you: Its possible to mention the same incident more than once without it being multiple incidents...  now I can't explain that any more clearly for you and I'm sorry for all those around you if you really are so dim you can't work that out.

I sometimes wonder if you actually read the OPs or just read the headline and just make up your own story to suit your narrative and get so lost up arguing with everyone that you forget that the topic is 

 

Foreign motorcyclist leaves 4,000 baht for injured Phuket man, then flees

 

i remember another thread recently where the Thai has offered 4 million in compensation.

But you claim…..

You just keep making stuff up to vent your obvious hatred of Thais, which probably stems from that time you were threatened for your manners and waied and apologized out of it.

 

You need to get over it or leave the country

I got hit in the back by a Burmese guy last week no licence no insurance no registration no helmets no brakes 3 wheeler so I called the coppers they arrived and took pictures then off to Chalong station, the cops took his passport and tomorrow I go to pick up money but that's it so I'm happy he's paying to fix the damage but in the western world he'd be in jail but this is Thailand so I'm thankful for that. 

in the western world he'd be in jail

 

What western world do you live in? You get a smack on the wrist, a bracelet on the ankle for for serious crime, no licence, insurance 3 points and a fine

You are a very special case of special... 

 

You remember a case where a Thai offered 4 million in compensation ???  ...       it was just a minor bump right ????

 

OR....   was it Tik Shiro (Thai rock star) drink driving and killing someone....    Your bias is so pathetic....

You are just stating the truth and more like the other way blaming us even though the police know who is to blame.

[DaRoadrunner]

She is lucky the farang left 4000 bats and did not simply do a runner. We are considered a rare species known as the walking ATM. There is only money now, nothing else.
