^ As RichCor said, try the rice trick. Fan won't work.

It simple physics really. Total gas pressure in the enclosed system will be the same in any part or any corner of the system. The partial pressure of any particular gas would also be the same in any part of the enclosed system, there will be no pressure gradient across the system.

Lets say someone sits in a sealed chamber with certain % of O2, N2 and CO2 in it, and it's a pretty big chamber. The partial pressure of said gasses will be the same in every corner of that chamber. As someone breathes the air mixture, he/she would consume the O2 and produce the CO2. The O2 / CO2 content (or a partial pressure) will start to change. While the total gas pressure will not change, the O2 content (or partial pressure) will start decreasing and CO2 increasing right around that person. With each breath that person will create O2 and CO2 pressure gradients near him/her (lower partial pressure for O2 and higher for CO2) and therefore the gasses will have to migrate to equalize the pressure in a whole system. Over time the O2 content in a whole sealed chamber would drop from 21% and CO2 would increase to the levels unsuitable to support life.

Now replace the person with your iPad, O2 with a water vapor, and a sealed chamber with a plastic zip lock bag or a food container with rice. Water vapor will not be drawn out from the inside of the device (or more correctly, will not be drawn out fast enough) unless you create a significant pressure gradient for the water vapor. A simple fan blowing onto the device will only remove that little bit of moisture that finds it's way from the inside of the device, which is really not very much.

There is illiteracy and there is innumeracy. Either the journalist or the government suffers of one or the other or both.

But what bothers me is that apparently the rich cannot own land stolen from national parks, but the poor ones can?

Double standards?

From the OP I gather that some of those "poor" were on that land before the land was declared as national park land and confiscated.

Toyota will loose a lot more in lost sales if they move the manufacture to other countries, they'd still want to sell their vehicles here but it means importing them so either the vehicles prices would jump (more likely) or profit margin would shrink.

It's a cost of doing business in Thailand.

I'm in Dhaka Bangladesh at the moment. I felt it even here just past noon local time.

It lasted for about 5 min but it felt like I was on a boat, on a fairly calm water though.

I think that is a very long shaking time.

I've been in a number of earthquakes, a few strong and one nearly a great earthquake.

In the stronger ones the sense of time seems distorted ... a 30 second one could feel long.

For a real 5 minute one ... I can understand a quote I just heard on t.v. -- It felt like it was going on FOREVER.

You're probably right, tracking the time was the last thing on my mind. Probably one to two minutes is about right.

what is the sign-up code for that TRUEMOVE-H 3G "7-eleven" (???) package ? cannot find any Info anywhere. Is there a limit for the 512KB-speed ?

You have to physically walk into a 7-eleven and take a TrueMove-H promotion card off a pegboard display and hand it to a cashier and they give you a receipt code you can enter on the "day" you want to start the service.

Don't know why, but they don't put the used cards (all containing the same identical: scanner code) back on the pegboard till the next day, so sometimes they "run out".

The offer is 512kbps fixed for now.

But as everyone else has changed their 384kbps promotions to limited bytes then 64kbps speed, I expect TrueMove-H to do something similar with this 7-eleven only promotion.

I think he was asking about data limits. I'm curious too if there's any data limit or if it;s truly unlimited at a constant 512 kbps?

This can't be true. Please check my math.

35,000,000 rai = 56,000 sq km.

Thailand is 514,000 sq km.

Thus 35,000,000 rai = 11% of the nation's total land area?

I was just about to post something similar. It is a ridiculous lie. That is an area in excess of the current combined national park land in all of Thailand.

How can he make claims like that, and expect people to continue to believe him.

That would make a lot of land-less folks from 35 mil rai.

Me thinks it's a typo or something lost in translation.

The question is: why he's still in Thailand and keep doing it?

Jail the cnt and throw him out after blacklisting him for life. Should have been done after he got caught here the 1st time.

Explain where the volume of water can in any way effect an enema?

Unless your ass is made of rubber, volume has everything to do with enema.

You're really starting to confuse yourself.

What can you say, he's "lost today". Or everyday.

It's been posted on bigbikemarket facebook group last night, along with the pictures of the bike, LP and the Malaysian ID card. The post is in Thai so I didn't know what it was about and just scrolled through.

Def not very smart to let someone ride an expensive bike without having cash in hands.

Just bought the Revit Galactic jacket from Panda Rider. Very nice, 13,500 baht including 10% member discount. It's a mesh leather combo which I feel is the best option for day to day riding here, 100% mesh makes me feel a bit vulnerable on a proper ride and my full leather Dainese is really really hot. I really liked the Komine JK-021 I had before this (also leather mesh combo) but it's a copy and the stitching is poor so I decided to replace it. Fine for low speed rides though, super comfy. Paddock has original Komine JK021's for about 12,000 baht but I didn't see them until I'd bought the copy for 5000 baht - annoying...

This Revit has pretty good airflow at the front and back but all impact areas are leather. Best of both worlds! Nice soft leather too, and the predominantly white portion always helps in the sun! Highly recommended...

Good looking jacket and its white and black parts are all in the right places. It got black on where I get the most dirt on mine when I ride.

Mine is all black perforated leather and I don't feel too hot when I'm moving, and by moving I don't mean riding fast.

Couldn't you upload the Thai maps to the 50?

Honda Wave (Dream?) 125i semi auto will kick the arse off a PCX all over the mountain, both off road and on.

So? Who cares? Want to go fast? Get a bigger bike. A scooter is for gentle riding and not designed for racing. I know there are sanctioned scooter races but on the whole, racing a scooter on the streets is asking for trouble.

You've ridden a PCX on a mountain trail?

PCX is for fat lazy (elderly) foreigners, sort of like carpet slippers and hot cocoa.

Maybe OP is a fat and lazy elderly foreigner?

When his previous company went under, leftover bikes were going for close to half of MSRP- if you lived in the States, would you be willing to risk scarcity of parts and service for a cheap superbike? I probably wouldn't, but I'd be tempted.

At a near half of MSRP you could get 2 bikes and keep one for the spares.

Personally, if it was a bike I really wanted and it went for near half a price, I'd probably get it regardless of the availability of parts.

Presumably, the Ring Road stated is posted as 120 kph maximum so why would you want to drive faster? Posters on TV constantly complain about the standard of driving in Thailand yet many are part of the problem. Slow down!

Driving fast does not equal to driving like an idiot.

If the road is good and not too busy, I have no objections if someone drives fast.

My complains about the standard of driving in Thailand would be about the idiots who: tailgate, wave in and out of the traffic crossing 2 or 3 lanes at a time to gain one car length of space in front, slow moving vehicles in the fast lane, etc...

It does in Australia unless you can positively identify and deliver the real driver.

OK it's a news for me and it's a strange news. It surely is different in Canada.

Those bastards!!! I get a ticket per month on average, sometimes it me and sometimes my wife is driving and we normally go with the flow...

Slow learners?

No, the fine amount isn't high enough to make any financial effect on me, it's merely an inconvenience but we try to watch for the photo radar. If I know how it looks and where it sits, I'd slow down for it.

There is a points system to go with it too so you can lose your licence (that of the vehicle owner) but I understand that has not been implimented yet.,(probably as they actually want people to get licences)

In the west the photo radar ticket doesn't yield the owner any demerit points as it doesn't prove he was behind the wheel at the time of offense.

I do not think this system you mentioned will be implemented the lawmakers would have a lot of legal loops to jump through to make it stick.

They didnt kill those people simply because they were Christian. They killed them because of an argument. It would not have mattered if those killed where Hindu, Buddhists, or whatever, it was the argument that was the catalyst, not just because of their religion.

How do you know this, we're you on that same boat with those people?

I wonder what the fine is for speeding. If the fine is 100 baht for walking around naked I imagine the speeding fine is a too small amount, too.

The highest I've got so far was 500 baht and that was for going about 30 kmh over the limit.

Note. I may be off with numbers here a little because I let wife deal with mail and paying fees. She usually tells me there's a ticket in mail and for how much and then she yaps arty me for a few min after that, but to me it's all a background noise.

However, seedy managed a 500 km+ ride before lunch on twisties (not highways mind you) so some of us are just curious as to what monster machine he was riding, that's all. I want one as well, haha.

Must be heavily modded Y2K Superbike with wings or something...

x2 what geriatric said. I would not drink Thai tap water and so would not let it into my bum.
