I was a bit handy with the horn when driving until i saw a guy just give a truck that was blocking his way a quick beep and the truck driver jumped out with a tyre iron or similar and started smacking the shit out of the poor guys bonnet. Now im kool and the gang behind the wheel. Ive got a family to think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozyjon Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 THE HORN --- my falang friend has been coming and going to the land of smiles for many years now,, i have traveled with him on many occasions, to show me the ropes etc,, now after 7 years he has retired and bought a house with his darling in the countryside, but i remember then and now, Then, he would say how the Thai people are calm smile a lot, patient that i should not ever raise my voice, bow, and so on, you know the drift, Now drives like a maniac, honk his horn at every instance, (i hear) get out of the way, this is my lane constantly, has been booked for driving on the fast (overtaking) lane, booked for speeding, basically everything he has told me not to do he is now doing? i wonder what has happened to this guy,, i feel one day he will get into trouble with a local guy, i can see the "driver jumped out with a tyre iron" scenario every time i get into the car with this guy, and he's not a young hoon driver either,, i wonder if Thailand changes people,, sad in my book because no good will come from this. We are a guest in this country and the drivers drive how they like in their country, not my country,, i cannot judge.

buck99 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Stay away from very tall ladies with big breasts and big feet standing along Beach Road in Pattaya. WHY ??? Because the very tall ladies with big breasts and big feet standing along Beach Road in Pattaya are not real ladies. The "ladies" will have a big gun located in the area you expect to find a holster.

Popular Post canman Posted December 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2013 As you may know, some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a “social session” out with our friends. Well, three days ago, I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling jolly, I still had the sense to know that I may be over the limit. That’s when I did something that I’ve never done before….. I took a taxi home! Sure enough, on the way home, there was a police road block, but since it was a taxi, they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident. This was a relief and surprise because I had never driven a taxi before. I don’t even know where I got it and now that it is in my garage, I don’t know what to do with it!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) High Season arrived early for me this year. I was minding my own business yesterday when I noticed "Mrs Ruby Wedding" (60-ish eastern European) & her daughter giving me that "Quick! there's a pervert!" look as I pushed a shopping trolley towards the exit in my local Big C. I could almost hear the cogs whirring as they slowly clocked me, wife (Thai), & children one by one & then realized they had been caught! Tongue in cheek of course, but my 14-odd years here somewhat trump their rather judgmental couple of DAYS Edited December 6, 2013 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Do not go up to a police officer on traffic duty, say "Well hello you saucy boy", slap him on the arse and piss on his shoes. They don't like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
