A new one to add to the list, "it was my wifes fault".

That's actually an exceptable reason.

I've been there , nodding at the wheel , usually in the afternoon after eating...

And he did it after a sleepless night at 7 in the morning.

Ahhhhh the famous Thai pointing at its best.........Usually they point at the accused, so in this case, it was the shopfronts fault. Thais would never do anything like fall asleep and cause such destruction

RIP Wall

Asleep,or drunk?? If you're

Tired pull off the road and take

An hour nap.....STUPID ASS HO,,S!!

Ten to One that alcohol was involved here also.

An other day, just an other Normal accident.

Five years of age is the peak of Thai male maturity.

Ha Ha, reminds me of one day many years ago I popped in to my fav watering hole in Khlong Muang and there was this Thai geezer swathed in bandages talking to the boss. I got talking to them and apparently the geezer was a local fisherman who liked to drink. He'd fallen asleep on the way back from fishing in his longtail and ploughed flat out into the beach, oh how I larfed.
