Thai TikToker Condemns Reckless Foreign Drivers in Phuket
IMO - a lot of decent Thai drivers out there who are considerate and careful. There are also a lot of Foreign drivers out there who are considerate and careful.... ... both categories make up the majority of road users. BUT... there is also a facet of each 'group' who drive and ride like reckless fools, they cause accidents and make the roads dangerous for everyone. Because there are 'more Thais' there are of course more dangerous Thai's on the roads. But, in area's of high tourist footfall such as Pattaya and Phuket, there may be proportionately more dangerous and reckless westerners. In this example given... It looks to me that a motorcyclist was riding quite recklessly at speed as he approached an obvious U-Turn.... he didn't slow down and take defensive action then realised it was too late. In this example, the car driver didn't care, it U-Turned 'forcing' the motorcyclist to 'give way'. Both at fault IMO... but this shows the careless actions of two people and the result. As with many accidents - had just once of the parties not been reckless, the accident would be avoided and I think thats why many of us have so many 'near misses' on a daily basis... We slow, take avoiding action, don't gamble on the actions of others etc... There is a great deal of stupidity on the roads - most people manage to avoid it by being very careful... -

Phuket Petrol Station Faces Criticism for Rejecting Coin Payment
Screenshots from Thairath video In a surprising twist at a petrol station in Phuket, delivery rider Phuwanai Umphet, widely known as Bob, found himself in a frustrating predicament when his payment attempt using coins was turned away. The incident, shared on the Facebook page โหดจัง จังหวัดภูเก็ต, has stirred up discussion online. Late one afternoon, Bob visited his regular fuel stop, planning to pay the 130 baht cost in coins. However, the oldest attendant on duty declined his payment, unwilling to count the coins. Despite Bob's regular visits, sometimes twice a day, this refusal was unexpected. The petrol station's cashier later informed him that this wasn't an isolated issue, as the attendant often created similar hurdles for other patrons. Bob, a 28-year-old who often refuels between deliveries, questioned why the onus was on customers rather than on the station's staff training. Online reactions varied, with many netizens echoing his sentiment that all currency forms, including coins, are legitimate. Suggestions ranged from employee retraining to broader policy reviews at the station. Bob's tale revealed a gap between the attendant's actions and the station’s policies—there was no official rule against accepting coins. In his recount, past transactions had been hassle-free, which made the sudden demand for pre-packaged coins perplexing. Despite the delay this incident caused to his tight delivery schedule, Bob emphasised the necessity for petrol stations to accept all forms of legal tender. He suggested management ensure their practices align with currency regulations, ensuring smoother customer experiences in the future, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-28 -
