To go through that much, someone must have been speeding. Although I am sure he flashed his lights instead of applying the breaks.
Cynical? Yes.
truth... probably yes as well.

As for 3 months to repair a shop front? They could knock it down and build an original Shop house there instead.

Tbs...you have to be right. I live in Phuket Town and the speeding and disregard for life is atrocious. I narrowly missed a head on with a similar vehicle as he was passing and flashing his lights only to stop at the stop light not far down the road. Why are you in such a hurry??? Everyone is late for everything anyway...it's called 'Thai time'. Slow down!!!

Well, we all know applying the brakes equals losing face so it must be avoided at all cost.

Preferrably at cost to someone else, as it seems to be in this case.

Mmh, are you saying I don't have a point or are you just picking on my apparently poor choice of words ?

Sometimes I feel I should hire a corporate lawyer and a PR manager to check every message before I post it here.

Anyway, let "we" in this case then just refer to me and my dog since nobody else is here.

I really do not see the need for these big SUV 4 wheel drive type vehicles here in Phuket...not like we are gonna get a snow storm any time soon...
most of them are too big for the roads they travel on as well....
