webfact Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Not the sharpest tool in the shed - Thai man filmed cross-legged on phone on his motorbike Picture: Kapook BANGKOK: -- A Thai man with an apparent death wish was filmed on his motorbike in the traffic - he was sitting cross-legged, hands off the handle bars playing on his phone. A video of the plonker was posted on the Facebook page of Surasak Somjaipongtham who said the man was going fast on a big road in traffic. Many netizens who commented on the inappropriate behavior quoted the Thai proverb: Mai hen long sop, mai lang naam taa. This might be translated as "the coffin did not shed a tear" and is used to refer to daft actions and their inevitable dire consequences. But we at Thaivisa just prefer to refer to him as hardly the sharpest tool in the shed.

bannork Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 A better rendition of Mai hen long sop, mai lang naam taa. might be if you don't see the coffin then you don't shed any tears - so true with many young people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenbrwn1 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I saw one last week laid back with his hands crossed behind his neck ( no helmet obviously) going flat out along soi bearing not far from the BTS station. The telling thing most of the Thai pedestrians were pointing and laughing. Says it all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about modern bikes but my old Triumph had a throttle adjusting screw to stop the engine slowing down when giving hand signals. Way before flashing indicators came on the scene.

I had one on my Big bike back home. Simple little lever to lock the throttle on the handle bar. Was great on real cold mornings to be able to warm your hand near the cylinder heads. Only used it on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Crazy. I used to see this guy out and about about two or three years ago in Samui. Seems like a few have a death wish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C37KmjiFzc Must have posted same time as post 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
