Just trying to blend in with the locals... it's not competition!

True, that kind of driving is strictly reserved for Thai drivers only!

Who's a number cruncher or an experienced odds maker?  Farrang buffalo is X to 1, Thai buffalo is X to 1

From statistics I've gleaned off the net, the population make up suggests that there is a 25 to 1 chance that the driver was a Thai.

 

But hey, what's all this about a 'farang buffalo'? The article spoke of a 'foreign buffalo' not a 'farang buffalo'. The driver could well have been referring to a driver from a neighbouring country.

 

Perhaps there is some misplaced indignation from certain contributors to this thread.

Every day I drive between Donsak and Surathani City I see Thais driving cars, Utes, and motorbikes on the wrong side of the highway's and in the wrong direction  and coming towards me !

This Thai is not related to John Bolton by any chance??

Such nonsense when the Thai roads are recognized internationally for their deadly statistics. Buffalo indeed.

Time for the poster to upgrade the dash cam, then maybe able to determine for sure the nationality of the culprit who was driving the wrong way ????

I have to say, it doesn't look like a local buffalo

a foreign buffalo of the Left hand Drive variety (Americas etc) so if had been one - the dashcam car would have been hit!

...while Guava fruit is.

foreigners referred to as farangs has nothing to do with the guava fruit. Legend has it that the first (or one of the firsts) round eyes foreign visitors to the kingdom of Siam was named Frank...
