    Do I hear 'defensive driving'? There are people in the U.S.A. who still haven't figured out round abouts. You forgot to mention monitor lizards in the road too. I recall closing my eyes as a passenger in a vehicle in Thailand. You're brave to be a driver!

      A LOT of defensive driving. Actually, for every driver here, I rarely see the offensive type, although I know it exists, probably in the Bangkok areas.
      Yes, after I made the video, I thought about the monitor lizards too. There are a lot of them in this area. We see one at least every week, big and small. I have had to come to a complete stop, put on my hazard lights, and wait for the sucker to cross the road.

    Second thought...can you mount a low profile cow catcher to the front of your rig?

      They can build anything here. That would take care of the dogs, leaves, kittens, and monitor lizards 🦎. Maybe a motorbike or two.
      Could you imagine being a cow on the tracks being hit by a catcher? Wow!

    Bro, you're going to have an aneurysm when they open that retirement bingo center by your home.

      Hah hah hah 🤣 And they DO play BINGO over here too. Seen it at the temple festivals. My new slogan:
      Just Vote NO To BINGO. I will start the petition now.

      That is funny! My wife has even rolled the window down to tell people to stop, again in English. She has been in America for a while, so interesting to see her revert to English vs Thai.

    😆 😆 you got an SUV 😅. We never take our car unless it raining. And even then has to be hard. Very very American of you. 😂

      Yes, we are attached by the hip to our vehicle. Keep in mind, we have many people to haul around, more than what a motorbike can haul, or should haul. When we shop for food, the back is filled with goodies, so much we cannot take this by motorbike.

      Hah hah hah. Luckily things are a lot more civilized here. I should do a Top 5 for driving in the US. Top of list would be road rage people.

      Although there are some things I do not like, I drive well over here. You just have to throw your western skills out the window and adapt to the way things are done here. I have always said to people that driving here is like a dance. If an opposite driver slides over into your lane, you slide into the shoulder to avoid them. No road rage, no stopping in your lane to stand your ground, no honking or flashing lights, just dance with them.
      My neighbor, to me, seems intimidated driving here, and I think it is because he has not figured out the dance part. When in Rome, do as the Romans do and just go with the flow, as I said in this video.
