Basil B Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 26 minutes ago, Beggar said: The driver while driving has to look at the traffic in front of him. They would need cameras installed to watch the backside. There is a fine for standing on the platform - 2000 Baht. But this guy gets an even bigger fine - the hospital bill. Hope he recovers from this too... As a driver myself I know you have to be aware of traffic behind and those pickups have rear view mirrors, something my van does not have. but I assume for Thai driver the Rear View Mirror is just for hanging lucky amulets on.

jesimps Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Can't see anything un-PC in the heading, he's a man from China. Man from England = Englishman.

SuperTed Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 7 hours ago, keith101 said: More bad news for Chinese tourism to Thailand Ho is a Hong Kong spelling of a Southern Chinese name. So . . . PRC tourists don't care much for hongkongers these days. Not likely to make news in PRC or draw sympathy if it does. AND hongkongers are rioting in the streets daily because they no longer see themselves as primarily Chinese, so Mr Ho may object to being called a "Chinaman", preferring instead "hongkonger".

How do you define this?: "Ho “teased his friends” at the rear of the vehicle but fell." He could've been tapdancing at the back of the car withot holding on to the railings, as far as we know. Tragik yes, but if so his own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it means the governments have to crack down and ban all sorts of stuff that used to be fine because people didn't act like such <deleted> before.

So, when a young man gives up his seat to an old lady who’s just boarded the baht bus he’s liable for a 2,000 baht fine? I think that given the large number of people who use the baht buses, whether sitting or standing, and the extremely low number of injuries, they’re a very safe method of transport, certainly way safer than a motorbike.

The buses from Wat Chai to Jomtien won't set off until there are at least a couple of riders on the rear platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've learned respect. More correctly it should be the Chinese person. What is wrong for calling a man a man as in Chinese man ? Why shouldnt we state his gender ?

The Driver left (fled?) having taken some of his mates to their hotel and brought them back! If the police hadn't turned up by then he probably thought what is the point? how can he have fled the scene when he take chinamans mates to hotel?? FAKE NEWS !!!

I’m well aware of that, have jumped on to the rear platform of buses at Wat Chai so many times, instantly available transport. In my opinion, Pattaya’s baht buses are the world’s most efficient form of public transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
