Most countries will stop at the zebra even if you are standing on the footpath. Here they may stop in the last few meters. RIP

Is there actually any law telating to these 'zebra crossings' or do Thai people just paint them on the road as a kind of sop to western practice or to look a bit posher?  (I know a law would not make any difference).

Reminds me of a female friend from Canada who was visiting here, We were at a zebra crossing and the cars wouldnot stop for us. she got into a women power fit and just said they will stop or else and ran in front of the cars coming. they didnot stop but ran around her on both sides and she was scared out of her mind and never believed in the power of women or zebra crossings again.

  May this woman R.I.P.

Great story, was she run over or died of natural causes?
