webfact Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Viral video: Thai hothead behaving badly on a Hong Kong bus Caption: Hothead waiting a long time for the bus! A video is going viral on Thai social media that shows an apparent Thai man arguing with a bus driver in Hong Kong. The video is in Chinese with Thai subtitles. The passenger is complaining about having to wait an hour for the bus. He starts off by asking rudely what the driver's problem is. The driver is very confused and asks, what problem exactly? After this continues for a while the driver - displaying a good degree of restraint - explains that buses are not all that fast. Still the Thai goes on...and on. The man is encouraged to get off.....but it appears that he is angling for a fight with the driver as he invites him to "come outside". The driver remains calmly in his seat to which the Thai - perhaps the worse for wear due to a little Chinese rice wine - asks: "Are you a man?" That appears to be enough for the driver who makes a call on his mobile that Daily News said was to the police to get the man off the bus. Many netizens were sharing the video - some asked: "Was he really Thai"?" He certainly seemed to be as at one or two points in the video he resorted to Thai language - the driver telling him that he didn't understand that language. Other netizens accepted he was Thai and apologized on behalf of the Thai nation for their compatriot's bizarre and rude behavior.

Orton Rd Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 waiting an hour for the bus is routine in Bangkok, excuses are always the same, traffic very bad, have to fill with gas or well it's raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why must everything be blamed on "the West" nowadays? Are Thai positive advances also due to being "Westernized"? Nice try at shoehorning your ideology - but by throwing them a free pass through blaming crappy behavior on Western influence (an increasingly common pastime in the last decade) you're actually patronizingly denigrating Thai society by implying they are not advanced or self actualizing enough to be capable of the full range of human expression (both the good AND the bad aspects) of their own accord. Just another shade of neocolonialism really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifino Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 let the driver bring it on, with the Police Chinese (mainland) lawmakers have recently forces HK lawmakers to consent to extraditing criminals to the mainland, to face full justice there, in mainLand courts! that'd straighten out little somchai!

Misterwhisper Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 If the poster had put in a little audio editing effort and cut in some dramatic music and an assortment of well-timed "ding ding ding", "boing", "whoosh" and "bang" sounds this clip could actually be highly entertaining. In the current form it only shows a self-entitled - and probably inebriated - <deleted> making a big ruckus about nothing, the same type of irrational hothead who back in Thailand would perhaps pull a gun on you because you allegedly "obstructed" their illegal speeding on the highway.

They are known for speed, and stopping two lanes from the borders, if they can stop. A pedal for gas, and the other is for 'more gas' and for braking ... (joke of course) Thai friends said, they already has this reputation from when the number sats on top of the busses, an continues on the """"newer"""" busses. AND.. It got such reputation that there is a movie made based on them, I watched it and laughed my ass off. Movie name : Pard 888. Enuf said? ????

Well, almost right. The Hong Kong assembly, responding to a request from Taiwan, have debated voting through an extradition treaty after a Hong Kong bloke murdered his Taiwanese girlfriend and fled. Hong Kong has no rendition to Macau, China mainland or Taiwan. This bus bloke would have had to be wanted in mainland China to get sent there.
