Wet floors in businesses used by the public in Thailand.

[Don Giovanni]

Many times over the years I have walked into shopping malls, outlets, stores etc in Thailand and there has been water on the floor (a spill) with no warning signs in place.

 

According to ChatGPT, these establishments can be sued for negligence if one slips, falls and becomes injured through no fault of their own..

 

Is this correct?

🤣🤣 in Thailand YOU are responsible for learning how to walk. Don't know where u R from, but I learned to walk on slippery, wet floors by the time I was 5. Also icy, snowy streets. Amazing, eh?

Not sure what you are talking about there mike.

Technically yes! But unlike the West where places are geared up for such incidents, I doubt it would be neither easy nor straightforward trying to pursue such a claim in Thailand.

Uhm, walking on wet floors being a "sueable" offence. I'd suggest you just learn to walk 🤣🤣

My guess is that not many negligence lawsuits succeed in Thailand over wet floors and the like. Have you ever seen the city sidewalks?  The rule seems to be that you should watch where you're walking. If you trip over a hole or a piece or rebar sticking out of the ground, you should have been paying attention.

Inside a business premises frequented by the public, like a shop??

 

of course it is a 'sueable' offence.

 

It is negligent.

But if the laws are on the books, and it happens inside a big name store - might be worth the hassle and could set a new precedent in Thailand - no more negligence or a farang might take you to the cleaners!

Extraordinary, and there am I thinking that you were only here for a few days for a wedding, visiting from your rehabilitation spa in Kobe!

 

You really should pay more attention to getting your background story straight Bob!

Nope. And do not care. If you feel you need to resort to a lawsuit rather than just learning how to walk on a wet floor, you are beyond hope.

You cannot get a phone camera to work so what chance of you getting a body cam to work?

You are obviously not speechless because you continue to respond. The logic is kindergarden simple. If you could safely walk on a wet floor you would not need to be ranting on a public forum about lawsuits. Are u disabled?

The only weirdo in this conversation is the one threatening lawsuits because of an inability to deal with dampness. You say goodbye, I say hello... How low can ta go Bob? I'm having fun 😊
