And I was trying to figure out if a pick-up was a type of ship also...

Tut tut!! A Thai surely wouldn't do such a thing. Or maybe farangs plied him with drink all night and it's not really his fault?

Let him off!! That's what I say!

I see everyday pick ups or other cars gone into ditches or hit onto trees,around where I live and I hear that the drivers were drunk.

What's is so special of that happening in Pattaya?

There they go again.... rushing to the scene.......idiots

Idiots? What is so idiotic about emergency services rushing to the scene of an incident?

Doubtless some idiot posters here would also find something to criticise if those services were reported as casually sauntering to the scene.

I'm trying to figure out how the hell he tipped the truck on its side! I suppose only in Pattaya!

Tut tut!! A Thai surely wouldn't do such a thing.

That has got to be the funniest most original joke ever told on TVF. Is that a reference to the police captain on KT?

Boy you are a comic genius.

I can't believe no one has thought of that before.

Oh, go away.

There they go again.... rushing to the scene.......idiots

Do you mean the police or the TV posters rushing to the thread to get in their daily dose of Thai bashing?

When you are drunk, you can drive a pick up like an airplane too.

You know here at Thai Visa your post is likely to be taken literally, Best to put one of these stickers on such posts or it'll fly over the heads of our resident wits.

Too drunk to flee the scene?

Foreigners gets to pull over very frequently these days and fined heavily for drinking and driving, wondering when will they start doing the same for the locals, to keep the street safe and save lives.
