Your best chance of getting your money back would be to lend her another 50k, but tell her that this time you will gamble together at a casino. Then play on red (or black) at the roulette. There is almost 50% chance that you will win, and then you will have your money back!

and if you loose you are in for 100k instead of 50

Guyz,

I have learned a lot in Thailand, for example learned to speak Thai, learned to read Thai etc etc but the most important thing what I am most proud of is that I learned is patience while driving. (Cha Yen Yen)

Back in the Home Land I always was impatient, always speeding and always trying to get of the line first, but nowadays (because of Living in Thailand (maybe) and seeing many accidents, I have learned that patience doesn't get you to your destination fast, but ..... it will get you there and the most importantly safe and alive.

Be Safe !!!!

I am not worried about the "thickest layer of fat" I just make sure that the most I deposit in any of the banks here is 999.999 THB as this is guaranteed by the government. (Maybe I am wrong about the number, and then members will set me straight)

A little bit of power at the traffic lights is a good thing (only PCX 125, plenty for me), doesn't need a lot, just enough to leave the other 20-30 bikes behind. Nothing worse than arriving at an already green light and have to manoeuvre through a messy line of weaving cars and bikes. Most of the trouble you get on the road comes from behind; if you travel at the speed of the traffic flow or marginally above it makes a whole world of difference.

All the basic scooters can get off the line fast enough. My Airblade and Mio do a good enough job and I can still get out in front if I wish. I don't agree that most trouble comes from behind but from the sides - people in a hurry to pull into a street. I also don't agree that getting off the line fast is safer than taking your time. Perhaps you just enjoy the acceleration and being in front, but that extra speed will also get you into trouble faster. Slower = less damage if you come off.

When i drive my MC I am never off the line first when the light changes, id rather wait another 2-3 seconds and even then always look right and left before taking off, the reason being that there always can be someone jumping a red light.

As said before: Patience is a virtue.

By reading the last 4 post, people must by now suspect KevJohn is Female

And Weekend is almost over. What did you decide to buy ?

Honda,

Isuzu,

PJS

etc

etc ???

do you think there will be a major facelift for 2013 honda jazz ?

This maybe can answer your question.

Maybe we can get someone like HM or TD to do a story on this ?? And maybe they can convince City Hall to change the signs by just adding a "No" or maybe some TV members can organize and one day hit all these signs with a Permanent Marker ??

Here a link to a post with a picture of Flooding on Sukhumvit today

Everything that goes up most come down at one point in time

Address and Phone number for the Garmin Showroom & Service Center in Bangkok !

Here is the manual

I enjoy browsing the boards here and posting. Theres a lot of good stuff here.

But I really doubt TV has over 130,000 members ........

Active members? Anyone like to put a number on this? I'd say not more than 3000

Obama is in town so security is yanked up to a higher level !

They are out again today on Sukhumvit right opposite the Ambassador sign heading towards Sattahip.

These guys are always there on a Sunday, they only check for licenses and maybe when they have the chance nab a "wrong way driver"

Massage therapists work for practically nothing in Thailand and often have to wait for hours to get a customer and they only get paid for the time that they actually work.

They wait for hours because, just like the fish doctor places and the bars and the tshirt shops, there are 10 times more of them than there should be, all chasing the same elusive 100B.

If they want to earn more they need to get a job that is in demand, or do their own job better than everyone else so that they get more of the available business and are busy all day. This is real life. Sitting around on your backside for hours on end waiting for one customer to provide your daily wage via a big tip is just fantasy.

Why sit in a shop all day when you can sit in a bar all night (or part of) and make a nice pay day for less than hour's "work?"

Maybe because these girls don't wanna work in a Bar and sell their body ???

^^ If it was for Obama's visit wouldn't it be more practical from them to land at Don Muang instead of Sattahip ??

Hi all, Car GPS english letter?

Sorry but I have no idea what you mean, so I am just guessing here, if you buy a GPS here in Thailand, yes the GPS supports many languages and voices which include English.

Take a look at the local TESCO-Lotus outlet, back in the tech section. Also check SE-ED Books if there's a local outlet.

Mac

I wouldn't buy anything from those guys as they don't know anything and will answer yes to any question you might have.

You can buy your GPS from those guys but if there is a problem, the only answer they will give you is "Mai Roo"

Just wondering, How many of the newbies showed up ?

<snip>

This idiot thought that repeatedly sounding his horn would persuade me to drive through a red light. As someone said above, I doubt if he would pay my fine.

I feel ya Brother, I had the same thing happen to me today where a Foreigner in his car (I was on a MC) tried to push us out of the way by constantly honking his horn and revving his engine. I just moved to the front of the line of the other lane and let the idiot pass.

You don't wanna know how many middle fingers exchanged hands

And unfortunately this time there weren't any BiB waiting to fine his b@tt.

Patience is a virtue

Was that 10k for Foreigners and Thai a like ? Or again 2 Tier pricing aka 10k for Foreigner and 200 THB for Thai ?

Here is the news post about it

In addition to the excellent answer from Lopburi, Non-O Multiple (Based on Marriage) is also available in Kuala Lumphur (in addition to Savanakhet) but in KL you need to show 100k in a Bank Account. (Only posted to give you another option

The Link craigt3365 gave you is a very good starting point.

And this company also delivers right to your front door.

Note When you buy a gps, the best Map for Thailand is the Nostra or ESRI (same company but changed names) and the latest version is 12.30. When you buy from EagleGps this map comes preloaded.

Good luck !
