[Thailand faces a decline in British tourists and expats: Causes and Consequences]

Thai does not know how to be humble. After covid I assumed they would show more gratitude to expats and tourists. 

 

Not a chance. 

 

Customer service... especially restaurant service is pathetic. 

 

I recently spent 2 weeks in Da Nang.. Vietnam.... they learned fast on how to care for customers. Most of the time the server would ask me if I needed anything more. They smile too. Viet are curious and friendly. Thai are not.

Why is that an issue.

My bank also requires my pp for simple withdrawal. 

No issue. 

It's an issue... I only take my passport when absolutely essential. A few days trip out of Hua Hin shouldn't need a friggn passport.

He wasn't turning FROM a soi. He was turning INTO a soi. And no doubt the kid on the bike was overtaking on the inside, and maybe the lorry driver didn't signal or the kid ignored it. All are very common here, so we can take our pick. Maybe all three apply.

Only one applies.... If I see any vehicle bigger than me... They can do whatever they like. I'll wait

You do seem to make a habit of not reading (or not understanding) the linked article. Here, I'll help you:

The truck driver, Mr. Jarin Petchad, 30, told police that he was turning into Soi Nong Ket Yai 7 when he collided with the motorcycle. He claimed he was unaware of the motorbike and only realized about it upon impact.

OK that's fine. It's very sad. But... Seriously.. Who is more capable of seeing the other vehicle? The truck seeing the bike or the bike seeing that massive truck.. And I'm sure the truck that size turning from a soi was moving very slowly.
