‘Drunk’ foreign tourists filmed riding on the roof of Chiang Mai songthaew

[marquis22 727]

Damn, I wasted 1.23 mins waiting to see if they fell off.

Why does it make news if they are foreigners? Every day I see some songthaew for schoolchildren, some students always sit on the roof!

I'm sure they don't do these things in their home country, wonder why.

 

Why would you think that?  Because they probably don't have Songthaews in their home country or because you don't think young people go out, get drunk and do stupid things in their home country?  I must come from a very different world to the one you live in.

Oh come on! This is the Land of Smiles.

Even if they had, they wouldn't do it

Don't show that to the Jomtien songtao drivers, they will put ladders on the back of their vehicles and not move from Pattaya till the roof is full too. At the moment is a minimum of 12 before they move off.

She's certainly outnumbered by the opposition here, I'd suggest.

I see this daily with slave wage workers that stay here. No one cares about that. I see it occasionally with Thai kids, no one cares. People who are going to be here for a few days or weeks do it...makes the city look bad.

"not good for the image of Chiang Mai"

 

Might encourage more visitors from India & subcontinent  

 

They only do train roofs, much safer

Look at any British city center on a Friday night, you'd think they'd let all the sectioned people out of the clinics for a night out.

Foreigners always seem to be damaging the reputation of Thailand and behaving inappropriately. Just ban all tourists for a month and see how Thailand enjoys the well behaved Thais .

If only tourist would spend their nights quietly in a Chiang Mai whore bar, this would never be commented on and reputations/image would be maintained!

probably a lot safer

Well they won't fall off the roof of a moving vehicle, lot safer to fall from a bar stool
