A Thai woman was involved in a collision with a motorcycle in Thailand. When confronted, she pretended to only speak English and deflected the motorcyclist's accusations. The incident was captured on video and has gone viral.

Why it matters

This story highlights the challenges of dealing with tourists who may not speak the local language, and the importance of being respectful and understanding when interacting with foreigners.

A Thai woman was involved in a car accident in Thailand. When the other driver tried to talk to her, she pretended to not understand him and spoke in a funny way. The incident was caught on camera and is being shared online.

Analysis

A Collision in Thailand

The incident occurred on a road in Mae Hong Son, Thailand, and was captured on video by local police. The motorcyclist parked his motorcycle in front of the woman's vehicle to prevent her from driving away. The woman was seen sitting in her car as the motorcyclist confronted her.

A Confrontation

The motorcyclist said in Thai, 'Hey, you crashed into me. No apologies and drove this far. What happened to Thai people?' The woman then repeatedly said, 'What?' The motorcyclist then claimed that his vehicle was scratched and his body was bruised as a result of the collision.

A Deflection

The woman proceeded to speak unintelligibly, as though she was speaking English. Not buying her antics, the motorcyclist responded, 'Don't pretend to be a foreigner. Your face and body look very Thai.' The woman asked in response, 'Speak English?' Throughout the exchange, the woman exited her vehicle and continued to deflect his accusations, while speaking in an unintelligible manner.

A Resolution

It was unclear how the incident was resolved. The motorcyclist said at one point, 'Don't pretend to be stupid. You crashed into me.' Near the end of the video, the woman re-entered her vehicle and said, 'I'm sorry.' She then continued to speak unintelligibly.

Key points

  • A Thai woman was involved in a collision with a motorcycle in Thailand.
  • When confronted, she pretended to only speak English and deflected the motorcyclist's accusations.
  • The incident was captured on video and has gone viral.
The Upside

The incident highlights the importance of being respectful and understanding when interacting with foreigners. If the woman had apologized and taken responsibility for her actions, the situation may have been resolved more quickly and amicably.

The Downside

The woman's actions may have caused more harm than good, as her pretence of not understanding the motorcyclist may have escalated the situation. Her refusal to take responsibility for her actions may also have led to further conflict.
