    And the motorcyclists to get on the wrong highway....... Hwy 36 is particularly dangerous as it gets a lot of HGV traffic and fst Bankok drivers, and has many dangerous U-Turns. Came back from the Transport Office on my motorcycle that way and felt it dodgy.

    I read on a YT News outlet it was simply 'overcharging'....

    Heaven knows, got stuck in it yesterday.... no longer a days holiday, low season etc etc, yet still all choked up at hellfire junction and back from there. One way on Diana seemed not to be helping. Does get busy at lunch times and delivery trucks parking up are some reasons.

    Perhaps they hope the loud noise will deter street dogs from snapping at their ankles.

    Do you actually believe in your wildest moment that is the only use I get out of it? I live well out of town and my Mrs likes odd trips back to the village... a truck or SUV almost obligatory for there. I have my moments where I long to live central though ....

    Got mad because he had just paid off his colleague!

    Although I found my truck a useful option when I had to take my 65 inch TV to and from the repair centre lately.

    It's a possibility...... I doubt he climbed down there.

    The stick was not long enough, hence the need to take of the lid, and lean over the edge...... and the rest is just history!

    4am... nearly time to get up and go pray!

    The video clip above in the lift was especially scary..... the fact it could pretty much explode in there with the guy, or it could have happened in say the apartment while he was sleeping and it charged, well that could set fire to the whole building.

    Roll on EVs eh!

    Sounds like fun...I must take my old truck out that way for run! (I would regard it as revenge for my times driving in Riyadh and Kuwait City,)

    Well I got some backlash recently when I suggested EVs were prone to fires that cannot be put out.... but there surely would be some cheap type of batteries with less stringent manufacturing being used somewhere.

    Rumour has it nearly all are illegally rented, as the drivers do not have motorcycle licenses. But the reality is crushing them would impact the Thai business owners who rent them out, and usually police avoid that.

    How long did the bit of work on 2nd Rd take? Nearly August, so just 3 months to high season, pardon me if i expect not.

    Perhaps had to do her checks after the Mall had closed, which in many cases is like 11pm.

    Pah, a few baht in an envelope is as stern as it will likely get.

    Well I didn't notice whether he rang the bell or not, but certainly appears he stepped off the back while it was moving quite fast. Facing rearward too, so his feet would immediately be whipped from under him.

    It's ridiculous... I thought the cable burying project was done with there some time back and Walking street all got repaved and was actually looking quite good for the first time in ages. It was dismal over Covid! But no...... I was actually only commenting a few days ago while on 2nd Rd, looking down one of the 13s towards the sea..... 'look at all those cables I thought we had got rid of!'

    Heaven forbid they have to get real insurance cover rather than some cheap-ass compulsory.
  23. jacko45k
    Staff/ jobs.... but yes seemingly lower level positions.
  24. jacko45k
    Same but a few weeks ago in June. Although I paid for an agent..... you get a cute girl to hold your hand!

    From what I hear Chinese are advertising on large billboards in Bangkok for staff already, so the takeover of Thailand is underway.
