Do you agree that “This is a direct violation of our laws and an affront to our tourism industry,” asked the reporter, and “It’s not just illegal, it’s unfair. These foreign workers are exploiting the free visa policy and taking away income that should go to Thai people.” "errr", replied one local business owner. -

Accident CCTV Captures Moment Driver Runs Over Drunk Swedish Tourist’s Head Outside Pattaya Bar
If you ever been to Thailand you'll know hitting potholes, debris, cats, dogs, police offices etc doesnt necessarily make a driver stop. in the article his act was praised as commendable and, yes, his reaction was responsible and commendable As I said, I agree with you as to the roads and obstacles. My original comment had nothing to do with road conditions or about stopping or not because of hitting something unknown. I'll repeat it here - "It is a "commendable act" to behave in a normal responsible way of showing respect to human life? Wow.... that says a LOT about the culture😟 Sadly, I'm not surprised to read that." So... apparently he didn't know that he hit a person, then upon realizing he hit a person, he stuck around instead of fleeing the scene. I still fail to see any relevance to road conditions. The point is that he stayed on the scene after knowing that he hit someone and this being lauded as praiseworthy. Of course it is a responsible and correct thing to do. I have no idea why, as I said originally, behaving in a responsible way of showing respect to human life should be considered worthy of praise i.e., commendable, as you said. Perhaps we have different understandings of the word "commendable"? I understand it to be something describing an action that goes above and beyond mere responsibility. Perhaps something courageous or high risk to oneself for the benefit of another. In this case, it is regular responsibility and what should be a normal show of respect for human life. Negatively, it could be looked at as self-protection because if one fled the scene, it would be criminal. Either way, positive or negative, it doesn't fit the understanding I have of "commendable".
