hanno Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Just out of curiosity: I was in Pattaya last week when I saw an elderly gentlemen (crazy-looking to be honest) riding a motorbike with a big Macaw on the back. I first noticed him as I was walking from the Dusit Thani towards beach road. As I was passing the big roundabout outside the Dusit, I heard someone hurling abuse at the other motorist for coming towards him. The problem with the this scenario was that he was actually going around the roundabout the wrong way (he will probably be on TV complaining about the poor driving in Thailand). Just the village idiot? Or something more to his story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanno Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 He isnt crazy looking,seems a normal elderly gent who has a trained feathered bird.Why pick on him,u seem to want to write stupid posts for a reaction delete this thread please Nothing like that. That he has a Macaw does not bother me, I was just intrigued. And going around a roundabout the wrong way, screaming at everybody else, is strange (and dangerous) behavior where I come from. I believe he is a nice guy as everybody says so, but he needs to control his road rage (and maybe learn the traffic rules, he is endangering that beautiful Macaw). Do you ask for posts to be deleted when they are slagging off all Thailand and Thais? Didn't think so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they would delte threads slagging off Thailand and ALL thais,as u said.I only said delete because all posts have said he is a nice guy,so your validity of strange farang is invalid now.If the post had said, anyone seen the farang,with bird,who doesnt know the roundabout at naklua would have been much better lol lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totster Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 ...all posts have said he is a nice guy,so your validity of strange farang is invalid now... Not really invalid at all... A bloke driving the wrong way round a roundabout with a bloody Macaw on the back IS strange, eccentric maybe.. Why so sensitive.. do you own a Macaw by any chance..?? totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD13 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Looks like "Hanno" has been given the bird I saw the guy and the bird in "Tops supermarket" a couple of weeks ago..... I didn't get upset when he came towards me the wrong way down the aisle...... or Maybe it was me going the wrong way But I sure didn't want to get on the wrong side of the "parrot" with that beak...... Good story though .....for a Monday Edited October 21, 2013 by DD13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon8 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 .. going around a roundabout the wrong way, screaming at everybody else, is strange (and dangerous) behavior where I come from. . But look at the upside! You get to go back to your village and tell everybody how you went to Pattaya, and saw a man with a bird, breaking traffic rules. Locals at your village will be amazed, and Pattaya will forever be etched in their minds as a place so satanic, even birds break traffic rules there.

Yes foreigners seem to think foreigners are better. Going the wrong way on roundabout is just dangerous and idiotic. All those foreigners complaining about Thais standing up for each-other doing the same here too. Why not judge someone on his actions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i claudius Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I take it that you are talking about the guy that walks around beach road charging tourists to have their pic taken with the bird ,seen him dozens of times and talked to him once or twice ,seems normal enough to me.
