JK,

The camera works well....even picks up your voice

Taken by surprise by a pedestrian while filtering through stationary traffic... the rider was right to berate himself in the way he did.

Ohhh & you ride a motorcycle in thailand & you've never filtered thru the stationary traffic....with the millions of other riders that do it.

Being a pedestrian in Thailand, one would have to think twice before dancing out amoungst the traffic without looking.....of course being a thai and living amoungst it for 30 or 40 years....you think she would know better.

Good thing he bothered to weave around her & not go over the top of her, like so many others do.

Well said, some car-zealot farang in Thailand would sht themselves if they actually rode a bike so his comments, while ridiculous are understandable

I would pay money to see him on a bike in Bangkok with about 100 bikers up his back end while he blocks the filter lanes between traffic

Whadda ya talking about JK, he's not even some car-zealot farang....he never leaves the PC, been a member for a few weeks, probably never been to Thailand & posted nearly 800 times ....at a guess I'd reakon it would be safe to say he hasnt got a F#&^ing clue - he must order in.

Why is it called "near miss"? It looks more like "near hit" to me.

I'm a glass is half-full kinda guy I guess.

But if you want to call it a near-hit then thats fine too

Nice move. She's lucky you knew what you were doing. That little stretch was part of my daily commute for 7 years. I've said it before --- I had many more close calls in Hua Hin than I have in BKK. From vehicles and pedestrians. Hua Hin is famous for tourists stepping right out into traffic without looking, you'd think a Thai would be a little more aware of what could happen.

I once stopped at a zebra crossing to allow a rather old Thai lady to cross, all the other traffic honked thier horns and gesticulated to me like I was an idiot, even my wife said "why have you stopped?....."

Different culture and interesting

With that helmet cam,i expect to see a lot more close calls,hardly a day goes by without most bike riders in Thailand having a close call.The difference is that a farang knows a close call,where as a Thai national thinks that it is perfectly normal to nearly die every day... Looks like your traffic is heavier then ours in Sawan!

I did exactly the same thing,did not know why everybody cracked a nutter,i even thought"look at those dicks,not even giving way to the pedestrians".Glad i was not on the walking end... Boy do i see differently now...

Here's what you call a near miss.He NEARLY MISSED the car.....Poor bugger http://nothingtoxic.com/media/1233525901/S...s_Like_Rag_Doll

He ought to of turned the other way, it's likely he'd of missed the car completely that way.

Nevermind, live and learn...
