I watched two thais crash on Nanai, farang stops and tries to help, we are watching from the offshore bar, we tell him to leave them alone and leave them too it, he leaves as a policemen arrives and both the Thais start to blame the farang (he had departed) who was totally uninvolved.. Thai face preserved, blame the farang..
If you have any choice at all.. Leave well alone.. If theres any Thai around.. Try to get them to help (unlikely).. In the absolute last resort then think about it first, if someone arrives will you like to Thai eyes as the guilty party ??

I remember the inital post when you said about the dog. This tho is good advice. Most of us would stop to help... Its just the moral thing to do BUT the thing is Thailand is not the same and being blamed when you are just trying to help is not right. But there you go back to Thais not wanting to lose face.
