  1. Go stand in front of the police station on Beach Rd, loads getting pulled over on a regular basis. Doesn't do anything for safety on the roads but is a right good earner.
  2. She should hand out cards for the MPs in the next street...... kills a nice hour or so.
  3. Fresh or flesh?
  4. I have never been since that happened. Did they not install AC? Is smoking still going on?
  5. In the absence of long pieces of wood and plastic piping, it seems sensible to chuck a few paying passengers in there and make money. To be honest, accidents are few, say compared to these large compressed gas coaches that roast dozens quite often. They are quite efficient and whenever I have been in Thai towns that don't use them, sorely missed.
  6. Was he too riding a motorcycle at the same time?
  7. There is a stretch of Hwy 36 about 5-6 Km from Sukhumvit in Nong Plalali where the lights, for a Km, have been out for 6 month at least .... it's a dangerous enough road well lit and in daylight, but it remains unaddressed. Something like this should not need reporting as the police are up and down there frequently. Those types of issues seem to just persist here, waiting for the next pile up!
  8. Don't forget the old cynical phrase.... 'How can you tell when a bargirl is lying?'..... 'Her lips are moving'.... I guess the modern response is 'she is using her phone'......
  9. Nonsense.... they mostly have their eyes glued to a phone. They are clueless riders here!
  10. I took anther look and disagree, it appears to not have quite stopped yet, when the guy tried to step off. When older, and struggling, better to ring the bell and wait until it stops before even getting up from the seat. Didn't a Chinese (HK) guy die after a fall from a baht bus a while ago?
  11. Give the offending ladyboys something to lean against as they wait for 'clients'. It is ridiculous, the police know who they are, they are repeat offenders, simply need a longer sentence in jail.
  12. At both ends..... I have wondered if one might risk being charged with some vandalism or property damage if you did that?
  13. My first thought too.... Although I expect passengers would need to get to the front to pay their 10 baht. There is an age and mobility level one must reconsider whether Baht busses are suitable. Great as they are, not for everyone.
  14. Two teenagers, they most certainly would have been distracted.... wonder if they had a working headlight?
  15. Bronze close to the old price available on special until June IIRC.
  16. Looks like it. And quite a good one, giving him nearly a week if he needed it, to get his things packed!
  17. Cloud related or smog related?
  18. I can see why the Thais might reconsider the Visa Exempt entries for Chinese, what with all this gangster related behaviour they are bringing here.
  19. Not local in my mind, unless they simply mean Thai? Well done the police for tracking her down though.
  20. Who wants to walk 2-3 km busting to pee when there is a polluted sea for 5 km! Nor would I say there are plenty of gas stations nearby... most are on Sukhumvit or pretty close to it. And you expect first time visitors to know this! Don't ever recall any on Beach Rd... used to be one near the Marina Mall on Second... I think it went years ago.
  21. Many were shattered by Covid... sad to see.
  22. My Mrs has commandeered my rolling pin.
  23. Put a shirt on and stop sullying the image of the family friendly resort.
