rooster59 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Pattaya: "Drunk Russian" squares up to Thais after poor driving in the floods Image: 77kaoded A Thai man went on Facebook in an effort to track down a Foreign couple responsible for some poor driving in Pattaya. Tossawas who posted on his page said that he and a mate were working in a motorcycle repair shop when a Ford Raptor pick-up on a raised chassis sped past during a heavy rainstorm on Thursday evening in Khao Noi. Several motorcyclists who were stopped had their vehicles knocked over in the wake caused by the reckless driving. One was a pregnant woman. Tossawas, 26, and Wongsakorn, 20, gave chase and caught up with what they thought was a Russian couple on the railway road. A woman was driving. The man got out and threatened them, said Tossawas before the couple sped off. He thought he was drunk. They hope that by going on Facebook and giving some details about the car they would get the couple stopped. No one was seriously injured. A video of the confrontation was made.

One thing that surprises me in this lockdown, is the lack of people jumping off buildings even though they have been told to stay in. Appears going out causes more balcony diving than staying in - maybe that's a good thing 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsdermatter Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Here we go again with Thais just guessing about the nationality of the couple in the vehicle. Unless he has a modicum of intelligence and can understand the language of the couple he should know better than to guess at their nationality.

Russian sounds hardly like any other language. I can always tell when people are speaking Russian from most other languages.

Cake Monster Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 The guy that got out of the Pickup Truck and " squared up "to the 2 Thais was probably about 1.95 Metres tall and would weigh in at around 125 Kg. Just big enough to send a message to Somchai and Lek without even trying. Both of them together would only weigh in at 100 Kg wet through - what bravado, they were probably hoping more Thais would join there pack for this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been married to a Ruski in the past a "white Russian" is "European" Russian as opposed to a "black Russian" who are from the Caucasus, former Soviet republics, (eg. Chechnya) not well regarded in Moscow I'm told. But like most countries you have good and bad, it's just the percentage that varies ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two Thai's operate a bike repair shop, probably have met their fair share of Russian's in the past. Besides, don't all Russians say " I am Russian Mafia " as soon as they start talking ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesetat2013 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I can't understand why they call it reckless driving? Were they breaking the speed limit? Did they do something other than not driving at a snails pace in a flood that would surely have stopped them and flooded out their engine the same way it had other cars stopped. That water is over 10cm deep judging by the man standing in it. I would have gone as quickly through it as possible also to ensure I did not flood my tailpipe and cause thousands in damage to my engine if I had to drive through that. This is not reckless. Reckless is a pregnant woman trying to drive a motorcycle through a flooded street and stopping in the middle of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Motorcyclists that were stopped. In 10cm rapidly moving floodwaters. The Ranger sped by, knocking them over. The 2 guys gave chase, doesn't say how but it appears they caught up with the Ranger. Motorcyclists in pouring rain, stopped, in flood water. Best thing to be stopped. Best thing not to be out in the rain and flood water. 'Sped' is subjective. Presumably the 'wave' or wash from the car driving through the flood water knocked the bikers over. Can happen at relatively slow speeds. Caught up with the Ranger. Seems to me, either the Ranger was stopped for them to do tnis, or they were speeding faster than the Ranger to catch it. Anyways, this is all so wrong on all levels and full of who did what to whom and guesswork and blarney, and I'm right and they're wrong and I'm more right than they are. Look at me, I chased and caught me some Russians. Ah, they are bigger than we are and very aggressive, maybe I'll run away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most civilised countries, especially ones with police, if you drive fast enough to cause a wake bad enough to knock anyone over, it's called 'reckless driving'. The most telling feature in my opinion is that - in any other country - once this happens, and you have a video, you take the video to the police and the offenders will be charged by the police. In Thailand, they just post it on Facebook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
