  1. That is the stubborn contingent that voted him in in the first place!
  2. A well chosen strategy... I would struggle to get below 500 units.
  3. There is a place on The Isle of Man where, as one drives through, for luck, you have to wave at the fairies..... there is a place in Pattaya too but it is different.
  4. If that picture is their attempt to block the road, I suggest they don't attempt to stop me in my truck.
  5. https://goo.gl/maps/viSz7wHXhUF6QBLz5
  6. Many regard coolers as ice-boxes, or igloos.
  7. Actually it is to get the daft pedestrians ambling in the middle of the road to move over. Not seen it here yet? As to 'go to Mumbai or New Delhi' done that and I will be in my grave first before I do so again!
  8. I drank all the way to Phuket on the bus.... and for sure have watched the sun come up from a barstool. There were a lot less road deaths because there were hardly any roads and not a lot of vehicles. Sadly, if it came back, I couldn't handle it!
  9. The initial is what has been discussed, and the extension so far no mention of change...so 45+30.
  10. Dear me, just finished another thread about a stabbing in Bangkok, place will have a reputation to rival London at this rate.
  11. He perhaps never got out of the cab all day!
  12. I have noticed a lot of people here are nervous of escalators, and take a few seconds stepping on them, and are unbalanced stepping off. Also hang about 'for a think' at the top.....dangerous at rush hour.....
  13. It's the old 'would you like to press charges', question heard around the world. And police here are lazier than most!
  14. No, park 25000 into another's pocket!
  15. He puts his belt or helmet on at the same time.
  16. There weren't any cars in Australia 50 years ago.
  17. Yes my thought too..... hard to figure why they do things like this.
  18. The street is not closed to traffic....certainly not at the Buakhao end.... vehicles still need to get to the hotels and condos between that entrance and the barrier for the road works. There is pedestrian path through the road works I actually used yesterday.... it would be dodgy on a motorbike, but people will try to do that rather than turn around, they would have to go all the way back to Buakhao and try soi Diana (or that dirt track between the pharmacy and 7-11). When I saw it yesterday it was after this incident and I expect some shoring effort had been made.... and barriers put in place.
  19. No proposed amendments to the Extension regulations so far....... consensus is it will be,
  20. I recall I informed the embassy of a friends death and they seemed to go and cancel pensions etc...I thought bank accounts might also get frozen until probate is resolved.
