Sharing views on driving in Thailand

If you like driving, you are sure going to like driving in this country.

Hope you not joking. Driving in big cities is no more fun. With vehicular population of nearly 9 millions,Delhi is pain to drive. Bangkok can't be much better.

I was kidding. It's insane to drive in Thailand, no one obeys or in forces the laws & if you kill someone, you can just walk away. This country is not a civilised country. Good Luck to you.

Hi, I
I live in Delhi. Interesting thing about this place is the about the 15 million++people here. Then there are huge number of politicians,bureaucrats,rich business class and rich rusty class of vote bank. They all think they are law in to them self. To top it all ,is the police force.
But when I visit Thailand,I find it is the mini version of India except much less crowd, noise and lawlessness. Therefore it gets much easier to adjust unlike you who is probably used to living in better environment.

I would like to know how many countries are civilize? Which cities where people obey the laws? Which city that people carry guns and kill people in schools or church or cinema? Which city has schools that are not racist towards kids who are born from blank & white parent or a white & Asian parent? Which city has no discrimination on asians or blacks when they apply for job or while they work? I only have this to say, there is no perfect city or law or system or people. Either one adapt to it or find another place. Perhaps be a gypsy or vagabond.

Sometimes we are interested in the worse case,especially some bad news,
Generally if you kill someone or something like that.
surely you must be a prisoner and move directly into jail.

Driving is a little rough here (Bangkok), not really one of the positive aspects, but probably not as bad as in India. 

That part about it not being civilized seems a little over the top; there are pros and cons to different cultures and societies.  Getting killed on the highway is a real thing, of course, really a higher risk here than lots of places, as shown by deaths per 100,000 people per year statistics (oddly twice as dangerous as India statistically):

Thailand 38.1
United States 11.6
United Kingdom 3.5
Philippines 9.1
India 19.5
