  1. Absolutely.... a crazed monster who should not be out in society.
  2. I have not been there for a couple of decades, so I asked the question. I was more in fear of USA police as many seem to be bullies......duh!
  3. Thai police may well be corrupt but I don't feel in fear of them.
  4. Wanton disregard for safety.
  5. Pah, it's less safe to be a pedestrian here than ride a bike underaged.....
  6. Well the insurance is the responsibility of the guy renting out.. but I doubt these guys have motorcycle licences, and as we see ride around without helmets.
  7. Yes I find that perplexing. Are Chinese people so in fear of police, or were they really up to something?
  8. Yes, more to be made than selling scented soap to Australians!
  9. Beware any with any boy racer type modifications.... silly pink metal bits.
  10. People have been saying that for a long time........
  11. And that happened after a couple of girls on a motorcycle were killed by a cement truck wanting to head up Nua.
  12. Yes, commonplace for folks to borrow on such a basis here..... I have certainly heard of 10% pcm which leaves the principal unaffected. I once learned my Mrs had lent to a friend on that basis. She told me that was cheap.
  13. Haven't used a baht bus for a while bit it sure sounds like they have deteriorated... no wonder folks are hanging off the back!
  14. And you know all this from that dull polluted place way up North?
  15. Pretty sure the Northern end comes under Pattaya...... while Na Jomtien is Sattahip.
  16. Yes, but failed to spend a little on an extra bolt for the door!
  17. Methinks some people have a problem with the truth!
  18. Graffiti gets more attention here than road markings! Especially on a long white wall in Bangkok.
  19. But drier during Songkran?
  20. I was thinking that there must be something 'special' about Thai women, to enrage the normally quiet, polite and placid Japanese to such an extent.
  21. I did my front door step a while back with those strips of sandpaper like tape... can't believe front door steps are made of regular tiles here. Mrs said something about keeping snakes out!
  22. I have it on good authority that the image is as robust as ever!
  23. Might explain why I had undisturbed sleep at the Areca a little while back.
  24. It's sad yes, but safety considerations are abysmal here. It goes further than employers, but to individuals themselves, don't seem to grasp their very actions put themselves and others at risk. We see it on the road... no consideration while whizzing along playing with the phone, but will cry buckets after the incident.
  25. Yep, a few baht in the right direction and off you go!
