webfact Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Video: Thai suggests car being driven the wrong way on the highway was "foreign buffalo" Caption: How I met a buffalo loose on the highway A Thai man went on Facebook to claim that a car being driven the wrong way on a Chiang Mai highway had a foreigner at the wheel. In an expletive laden rant accompanying a minute long dash cam video Ake Srisuwan said the driver in a black Yaris ATIV was probably a foreigner. He gave no evidence for this assertion but inferred that the "foreigner" was a "buffalo loose on the highway". The incident happened in Hang Dong in the northern Thai province of Chiang Mai on Sunday. Thaivisa notes that the term "khwai" (buffalo) is not normally a term or endearment when referring to humans. It is usually cited in a negative context to imply idiocy.

Correct only buffaloes here on the roads are Thai male steerers not drivers. The dash cam shows just a car going the wrong way , if both cars were stationary maybe the accuser might have had something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that for every 1 foreigner driving the wrong way on the highway, there are probably 100 Thai 'buffaloes' who routinely drive the wrong way on the highway. If I took a camera to one of two U-Turns on Highway 11 near where I live, I could capture video of probably up to 30 or more cars, trucks, and motorcycles driving down the wrong way on Highway 11 in order to 'short-cut' to a side road or gas station. Happen all the time and very often. So, Khun Khon Thai should work on cleaning up his own back yard before complaining about the odd, one-off foreigners doing stupid stuff.
