An unfortunate choice of words methinks... ....but at least you'd probably fit in well with other raod users.....

Surely must have been a figure of speech. Bottles it up

[Rob8891]

Still, it could have been worse.... he could have used the other common phrase that he'd like to "bone up" on it...................

[Dancealot]

Indeed he could.... But he chose a more direct way implying he would get the desired book and put it into his "glove compartment" ,

permanently..

Somehow, I don't think we're helping this poor guy slake his thirst for knowledge!

[Dancealot]

I don't see nobody else "takin' the effort" so i guess we'll just have to wait it out. Remember, sound advice is hard to get these days..

[Rob8891]

"Sound advice"...... Thaivisa... Hmmmm... I'm thinking there might (just might) be a flaw in your logic....

Where are the cogniscenti when one needs them????

I'll take a wild guess at an answer, and get flamed, no doubt (Pfft...do your worst, guys!) Maybe wherever you go to get a driving licence might either have a well-thumber copy ( ), or maybe know where there might be a copy?

There's only one rule you need to know: farang has to pay.

Otherwise, the only laws you can get on your side are the laws of physics.

From a short inspection the translations in the HTML page linked by @johndeuf seems identical:

I have read through it a couple of months ago and it is kind of funny when you compare with the daily horror on the roads!

[tingtongtourist]

Rules??

[wildorchid]

OK OK MY BAD,,, a poor choice of phrase "the full Bottle"

I would just like to know the offical laws of the roads in thailand and yes i know that the falang has to pay no matter what, where, who, how, or why,, but it would be good if i had the law on my side in case of an accident...

Moving to the motor forum.

i know that the falang has to pay no matter what, where, who, how, or why,

No, you don't, this is an urban myth.

Section 20 (500B)

[A driver is responsible for not letting his passengers, animals, or loads to fall, leak, give out smell, reflect light, etc, which may cause harm or danger to the public.]

So Farting is out of the question then ???
