khunsanuk Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hi,https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2252219/more-charges-for-cycle-cop Well, it happened again. Someone got killed while walking on a pedestrian crossing. Lots of outrage and news coverage, especially since the deceased was a doctor (who of course are more important than poor people (yes, I am being sarcastic, obviously)). Of course, we all know what will happen. People will forget in about 2 weeks and absolutely nothing will change. I cross a pedestrian crossing every day when going to work. Not a single driver stops unless absolutely necessary; many don't even slow down, and that is before they can even get a good look at the crossing. Sanuk!

Mekong Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thailand's biggest mystery is not the disappearance of Jim Thompson, but rather how Thai drivers can see 47 different kinds of ghosts, but not a human in a pedestrian crossing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted January 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hi, Unfortunately that is a possibility. Or they may just run you over. Thais can be extremely hot headed, especially when they think they have lost face. (because of course they have the right of way, after all they are driving a car and you are just walking) Sanuk!

radioman Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 A big ass speed bump in front of every pedestrian crossing would fix a lot of issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
