Matzzon Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Let´s all hope the Norwegian pulls through. However, for the look, mess and style: 9,7 out of 10. Good contribution to the country´s carnage stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colabamumbai Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I just had the assistant van driver open the front passenger door on to the sidewalk and into my shoulder. I told him I was not happy, he apologized in English. Five minutes later the wife says your bleeding, sure enough 3 streams of blood flowing out of my arm. If I had have know this upon exiting the van, I would have called the police and demanded 3,000 Baht in compensation from the van operator.

But 20,000 with a head trauma sounds much better to ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of blood from a stone than a thai paying falang damages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Did the van hit the back of the truck? The damage is to the left hand side (which should be curb-side) looks to be impacted from the front going rearwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
