I'd be willing to bet that rectum's blood-alcohol content was over the limit.

Just another peaceful day in the land of smiles.

Soooo, the pick up is in the RIGHT lane, and decides to make a left turn. Hummm.

Then he get's pissed because a taxi hit him in the back because of HIS illegal turn.

Sounds about right (Thai) to me.

[terminatorchiangmai]

you hit me its your fault , even if i cut in front of you or not have break lights .

Its always your fault , never mine.

Just another peaceful day in the land of smiles.

Just one incident between 2 individuals in a city of millions, so yes, you're right, another peaceful day.

Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

The truck driver was lucky he picked on a taxi that didn't have a bigger and badder weapon than him.

Where are the sword packing taxi drivers when you need them?

[Jessi]

More Thainess on display.

[Usual Suspect]

What I have noticed recently is that in all these incidents captured on video by someone at the scene..the growing trend is to zoom-in on the offending vehicle's number-plate.

Maybe just to aid the police if the video is submitted, or maybe to shame the culprit when the video goes out on social media..?

They do love their weapons.

[jacko45k]

And the cabbie pulled a gun?

[Bender]

in the last year, i get the feeling you have more and more similar accident, so far i remember

_the video of a dark thai girl punching a white thai girl

_a taxi boxing another driver in a kungfu style

_a van driver, with a knife, chasing a thai journalist

and in all case the victims were thai-chinese,

well i think "thai rak thai" was also a myth!
