Just to let you guys know about 2 funny little stories I read in one of the local Pattaya Papers;
1. On 30th December, some dickhead Norwegian guy was travelling down this road, drunk off his nut (.28 to be exact they later found out), and went to overtake another car. He slammed into a motorcycle, which was being ridden by an Englishman. The Norwegian took off. The Englishman died at the scene.
Police finally found the Norwegian, who was so drunk couldn't speak well, so the police locked him up for the night. The next day they released him, pending court hearings blah blah blah. Later that night (New Years Eve), he was drunk again, and stuffing around with firecrackers. Here the firecrackers are huge bastards, and very loud. Well, the dickhead decided he'd hold onto it for as long as he could before letting it go. According to his wife, he'd done this many times.
Well, have I called him a dickhead yet? The cracker went off, ripping off half his face, and also his left arm!!! He lost one eye, bad burns to his face, and I haven't heard whether they re-attached his arm yet or not.
Talk about Karma coming back to take a chunk out of your ass.... Or arm in this case!!
2. Pattaya police set up a few random breath testing stations around the city on New Years Eve. They had a write up in the paper saying how proud they were of the drivers, and that many did not drink and drive. Statistics showed that of the 10 drivers tesed throughout the 'Blitz', non were found to have alcohol in their system.
Yes, you did read that correctly, 10 drivers. Over the whole night. (Well, maybe the cops only did their jobs for 10 minutes. Knowing these lazy pricks that's probably true!!)
Cheers
