  1. The track gauge in Thailand is very narrow, "Metre gauge" (way too narrow) so when the track is uneven the train rocks from side to side until it simply falls over, the train does not need to be moving fast for this "ossolation" to occur and in fact none of the trains in Thailand reach speeds of over 75 to 80KPH of course this is too fast anyway.

    The transportation situation is pathetic in this country, mainly cause by graft.

    If the Thai people want to have a country which is more useful and pleasant then they have to understand the basics of honesty first.

    FYI:

    Metre gauge is the system of narrow gauge railways and tramways with a track gauge of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 38 in). It has installations of around 95,000 kilometres (59,000 mi). In some African, American and Asian countries it is the main gauge. In Europe huge metre gauge networks remain in continuous use in Switzerland, northern Spain and for many European urban trams, although most metre gauge local railways in France, Germany, and Belgium closed down in the mid 20th century. With the revival of urban rail transport, in some cities metre gauge light metros were established, while in other cities metre gauge was replaced by standard gauge.

  2. Suthep is asking the Thai people to deliberately break the law, what sort of person is this ?

    "
    He also said the protest leaders would welcome any other measure of civil disobedience that is not against the law."

    Any civil disobedience is in principal against the law, did this guy go to school or was he day dreaming of graduar in lessons?

    I think the Amnesty bill should fail but I don't think he is helping with his childish and dangerous ideas.

  3. Sorry but your agent(?) was talking rubbish - Theft insurance is available.

  4. Don't bother with theft insurance, just use a padlock on the disk brake, only 150B !

    Organized gangs go around in pickup trucks and load parked motorcycles into the truck in broad daylight, it happened to my bike and other friends of mine, the padlock is not going to stop a theft.

    Theft insurance is available, my advise ... go to the insurance office directly, there are many in big town centers.

  5. For those Fahrang who are being sarcastic, insulting and making fun of my country, if you don't like it here, get the F out, go back to your country. Why are you here?. I admit the fact that Thai people are not good at English. But there must be a lot of things here in Thailand that you Farang must like and appreciate besides those bar girls. So BE RESPECTFUL ! or go home. I have lived oversea for 25 years and traveled a lot so I know my country is one of the best place on earth.

    So if you are so "worldly" why don't you understand English black humor and the English sense of sarcasm ?w00t.gif

    Most of the Farang posts that say bad things about or joke about Thais are just poking fun at them.sad.png

    Why would you want them to "go home"? they are having so much fun with such an "asking for it" target.thumbsup.gif

  6. Best step would be to force the "creators" of AIDS to come out of their closets and tell the truth. In addition, it is worthwile checking the proven stories of people who were tested AIDS positive, rejected the advised medical treatment and changed their life style and diet to a healthy one and were "miraculously cured" (tested negative) just a few months after...

    Don't let whitecoats, pharma mafiosis and governments fool you - just open your mind, eyes, and ears!

    You have to be kidding... your attitude is dangerous.
