Looked quite deliberate! However, monk walking in the road with dark orange robe at that time of the morning, well sumthin gonna happen. Better he stayed within the small hard shoulder area, although I think this car wud have hit him, even there. The car did brake, so the driver knew they had hit the monk. Terrible. ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of them do you think are bad and should be defrocked? Some bad monks doesn’t mean all are bad. Some bad Catholic priests or Protestant pastors doesn’t mean they are all bad. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted July 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) I was taught as a kid to always walk on the side of the road so I was facing the traffic. I guess they don't teach that here and it cost him his life ???? I see the same thing with the monks who walk past my house each morning, their back to the traffic. As so often in Thailand it's lack of education = lack of common sense. Edited July 5, 2020 by Bangkok Barry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As so often in Thailand it's lack of education = lack of common sense. yea, coming from the countryside and lots of narrow roads to walk facing oncoming traffic, one problem in thailand is their inherent, and frankly bizarre, desire to drive/ride motorcycles on the wrong side of the road, which makes walking towards oncoming traffic a bit of a hit or miss affair at the best of times . no pun intended. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
