  1. Can you see the category at the top of the page...'Thailand Local Forums/Central Thailand News'......? America, (North, Central and South), and The Congo are not there!
  2. My thought always was they are calculating if it is safe to pull out....but take so long to think, by the time the decide they will, it isn't!
  3. No no no, rubbing together of sweaty palms in anticipation of easy money pouring in is what they do best!
  4. And if you are up for the adventure... take the bus from Pattaya North Rd (Reung Ruen) bus station to Bangkok Moechit, and regular services from there to Korat......you can get lost in Moechit though if not familiar!
  5. Of course we will get into the usual discussion of bad insurance companies and reading the conditions of the policy..... and many presuppositions. Poor lad... dangerous times for young males those late teens and early twenties....a recklessness in their ways. Hope they get him home....
  6. There is a store in the old Tesco Mall on North Rd, pretty much opposite City Hall https://goo.gl/maps/FPYNpW5QFXEgTrDc8 Online service is another option, https://www.decathlon.co.th/en
  7. Need a shirt with a pocket to put a pen in... but many turn up there without even a pen in their beachwear!
  8. Nakhonchai Air bus station on Sukhumvit just South of Klang Junction... look for website for timings but you may have to go there to get a ticket anyhow. https://goo.gl/maps/U9pN2atuCqNA3gL66 There is another on 3rd Rd, North of Klang again.....(oops, that appears to have gone)...
  9. And at least another 30% are playing on their phones?
  10. I remember seeing the buses lined up, being sold off at a dealer's located on Sukhumvit at the top of Threppasit.
  11. As per the elderly bedridden Thai forced to attend a government office to renew ID in the news lately?
  12. Dubai I think.......
  13. The one that was in The Royal Garden was there for some time and kept working.... much enjoyed by many kids.
  14. Well if he can say awake unlike his fellow and younger colleague, maybe he can do some good.....
  15. You would think it easy to find construction companies around here who have a lot of experience digging holes and then leaving them!
  16. A rather aged man who has been around forever.... Thailand struggles to break away from its old ways. I was hoping for younger blood. Progress of a sort I suppose.
  17. Not so well. What I thought was the start of it, was widening on the single track embankment near me north of town.......that sort of went on for a while then stopped and nothing seen since......
  18. You are mistaken, you certainly still need the annual tax sticker. Whether they are displayed on a 2 wheeler is less certain... they do get stolen, so some keep them under the seat.
  19. Worrying thing is, such fools often do come back with a weapon here.
  20. Wasting money on hare-brained projects..... and no doubt some pockets get well lined in the process.
  21. Not much capacity there to run around all day... I just have reservations about these gas conversions here. Diesel engines don't convert so well.
  22. I believe it was an NGV bus.... it certainly burned rather well. Also there was passengers and a driver on it!
  23. Sometimes yes I have... more so when I spent more time on my motorbike waiting at lights. My own pickup doesn't spew out smoke... but I certainly see plenty of others doing that usually pickups being over-revved.
  24. This was a close call.. Would it not make sense to skip LPG and go electric..
  25. I thought perhaps some optimism about the domestic political future was helping lift the baht.
