liquidflux Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 The constant honking and "where you go" from taxi and tuk tuk drivers gets old pretty quick. Especially when they do it one after another, like I'm going to change my mind 2 seconds after I wave off the guy in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I'm with you on that one. I don't like to pull down my pant to take a crap when the floor is wet from someone taking a shower. That won't be a problem in my new house. As I've said before, since I drive, mainly a motorcycle, veryday in Thailand, its the lack of following road rules. If a cr wants my lane and I am right next to him, he or she just starts pulling into my lane and expect me to move or get hit. Its the other motorcyclists zipping around me while I'm slowing down for a traffic light/stop sign, so that they can be first in line when the light is green. Its cars/motorcyclists that don't know a proper right turn at an intersection. They start their turn halfway down the block so they can beat me to the interestion. I've had as many as five cars turn infront of me at an interection when we both had green lights. They just get as close to the other cars so I can't make it through. Car and mototcycles that come off of a side street and go faster (ignoring the stop sign/light) in order to beat you order to get in front of you on the street (and make you slam on your brakes). It doesn't bother me that cars inch out into a busy street and block traffic in order to get on that street ( otherwise, ther would be no way to get n that street). It also doesn't bother me that as one car passes another and you are coming from the other direction on a motorcycle, yo are expected to move to the left as much as possible. Finally, I find it amusing that motorcycles go slowing in the opposite direction for as many as three blocks to avoid having to go down a busy street and make a proper turn. Did I leave any crappy driving practises out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Yeah, you can't trust them at crosswalks. And some of those long distance truck drivers are homicidal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidflux Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Just tell the tailors you're from the North Pole while you walk by, since they're always going to ask where you're from. They're usually too confused to keep talking after that. 'pom mai mee wela' works wonders on pesky bargirls who do the same shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
