NongKhaiKid Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I remember an MP, who thought he was a bit of a Flash Harry, doing this in the Don Muang area a few years back and getting thumped when the wash from his jetski swamped a small boat.

Old Croc Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 He didn't seem to be endangering anyone other than himself. The trucks were crawling along well away from where he was. No harm no foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 If driving a jet ski alongside stationary trucks in a traffic jam is considered "thrill seeking".....my knitting with the lights out must be off the richter scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a thrill seeker is an age thingee. Most of us are well past that. For some of us thrill seeking is having dinner with a beautiful young lady a good meal and a nice bottle of wine hoping to get lucky at the end of the evening.

I think I am still a cool guy and I laughed at the video. The positive side of this was much smaller than the negative side. Geeze I hope Trump doesn't win.
