smileydude Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) In Thailand people who drive for a living eg. Taxi's, buses, songtaew's, lorries etc usually are armed with either knives or metal bars as they are accustomed to traffic related arguments as part of their occupational risk hazards. People with expensive super cars are also usually armed with guns too. I'm not talking about your run of the mill 1911's or glocks but Sig's, STI's or even SMG's. Its really unwise to get into a traffic altercation over here. Just take a deep breath, calm down and swallow your pride as Thai's tend to take everything personally and make rash decisions when it comes to losing face. I'd rather look like a rabbit then die like a fool over something as petty. Edited June 7, 2017 by smileydude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 1980 when I first landed in Bangkok (Duang Meung) airport and I saw a guard at the airport, he was in army fatigue but he got only a bayonet on his side and a hand grenade clipped on his front left pocket.

So he either stab you or he throw the grenade at you if you are the terrorist or someone who is a danger to others or attempt to destroy the kingdom's property. Song Thiaw drivers carrying knives is not a surprise for me. Why are they having knives? To stab you of course If you are threatening them. Otherwise they cut fruits to eat while waiting for customers. In 2000 I went to Laos and saw many Dad's army.

My friend told me not to look down on them because they were capable of defeating the French Military Academy trained soldiers. They won the war not the French. And your point is..........?

From what I see Thailand is a difficult country to live in because they don't follow rules and laws. I hate it when people don't want to follow the laws. Well, I guess I will loose and loose because the other guy carries a long knife. And I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you just love that word ADVOCATING its so ... dominating. BTW BTW - love your modern style. Ok, now, take notice...I was quoting a previous poster (not captured in your comment) who had said, that all of us Farangs were so brave behind our key boards with the advantage of being anonymous (or something to that effect) you work the rest out, smart arse. BTW I don't need to make comments to make me feel good about myself as you may well need to do as I feel good already!

Not to mention the AK 47 swinging from his shoulder.... This taxi driver is a pussycat compared to the Tanzanian soldiers who I saw in the Seychelles, where I lived in 1980, who supported the coup by Rene. They'd sit on the jungle roads in pitch black mugging and raping the local population when it suited them. You drive around a corner and see only the flash of teeth and the glint of metal of an AK 47 in your headlights... and pray it's not your turn.

If you are carrying a machete in your car, and you then use the afore mentioned machete to wound someone in a public space, then you are very much going to find yourself on the wrong side of the law, regardless if you were the original aggressor or not. By-the-way, it is illegal to carry a machete in your car unless you can show a good reason to be doing so, ie just bought from shop and taking it home, you're a chef and it is wrapped with other knives and used for professional use etc. All the prosecution have to do is to show that you were found in possession of the machete. The burden of proof shifts to you, the defendant, in showing that you had a lawful excuse to carry it in your car at that time.

MaxYakov Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 There's a pretty good chance in my country that after the knife is pulled, a pulled gun might be the expected response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
