driving is joke ? same as above...+ Thais don't drive that bad  ... I rode over there around 8 000 km and never had accident....+ no road rage like in europe...
beggers ? i never acrossed one, and i don't look soooo poor....there are some guys who try to rip you off due to your white skin...but ...9/10 Thais i have dealt with were honest...
anyway maybe i shoulnd't write this...i don't know if thailand can handle *even more* farangs there |
Just because it's cheap doesn't invalidate my point of the infrastructure being a joke; in fact it supports it.
Drive a motorbike in Bangkok? You're insane.
I'd never seen a dead body that wasn't a relative at a funeral before Thailand. In the same week I seen a twisted motorbike driver and a pickup truck in flames outside Don Muang airport. Look at reports during Songkran, a lot of Thais (and foreigners) think it's ok to drive drunk and during this holiday week the accident rate jumps to the thousands with tens sometimes hundreds dead.
If you haven't seen a beggar in Bangkok you've never been or you've been chauffeured everywhere.
