Have no other facts to offer - i really enjoyed his videos' and as I also had one of the greatest times of my life discovering Samui some 12 years ago it still holds memories. Covid-19 will have been a shovel sized spanner in the balls for the set-up he had going (work a few months in Ireland then go over and spend the cash living a few months in Samui.. rinse and repeat). For me, it's a bit of a precarious existence and a young mans game that would do me in over time but I wish him well. The Money No.1 channel update could mean a variety of things - i.e. that he has just been balls to the wall just focusing on growing his bank so he can blow it all again over in Thailand. Or it may be something more ominous as alluded to above - personally i cant really see that though as no offence but Jenny wasn't really living the glamorous big time with the fella previously so not sure why that would change any, especially if he was working and earning in Ireland.      

Hope he comes back - i enjoy his yarns, he's a great wee story teller and also quite handy banging out some very decent poetry.

exactly so, you collapse from exhaustion but you don't die. Its a built in safety mechanism. 

Unfortunately not correct with Heat Stroke. Your core temperature is raise dto dangerously high levels causing brain damage (seizures) and organ damage which can often be fatal without rapid cooling and medical attention.

You gave yourself away when you used the word "irresponsibility".

 

That's a judgment based on an upbringing in a different culture and in a very different economic reality.

 

So your rationale seems to be that i cannot hold views, criticise or compliment any culture/economic group other than that to which i belong or have belonged?.

As i say, an absolutely ridiculous viewpoint.

What are you on about with "no training"? They've been riding on m'bikes since before they could walk, and certainly way better m'bike riders than the average farang guest in LOS.

 

To answer the OP; because they don't live in a PC nanny state like the OP does.

 

Seems to me that TVF is populated by some people that think they know better than Thais how they should live in their own country. There's a word that describes such people.

Or maybe the Thai's are actually just wrong about this.

I care about kids dying needlessly due to irresponsibility. I don't think i need to silence myself sharing my opinion out of fear it may offend you or a Thai.

There are many words for people who look to subdue such open expressions of thoughts and concern. Should i really just shut my mouth since i'm not Thai?, should I not have any views on anything else happening in the world outside my own borders of birth?. That's an absolutely ridiculous argument or stance to take in my humble opinion.

I have spent a large part of today wrestling with an online application form, for verification of my UK issued pilots licence.

Place of Birth? No Problemo.

Nationality? No problemo.

Country of Birth?

Type in the first few letters, "please choose from list":-

(The correct answer is Scotland)

It will not accept any of:-

Scotland

UK

United Kingdom

Great Britain

British {anything}

England

Ireland

Northern Ireland

Kingdom of {anything}

Europe

{Anywhere in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland}

(I didn't try Wales, but it's not on the list)

 

It WILL accept most from Antigua to Zimbabwe.

 

It will not allow one to proceed to the next page without an acceptable answer, and the penalties for lying are expensive if not draconian, and will invalidate the whole process.

 

This from the UK Civil Aviation Authority, one of the more sane aviation authorities in the world. 

 

Back to the paper/pdf version!

 

I've struggled with this same thing for years. It's a war of attrition trying to fill online forms in (i'm also Scottish) but its a case of running the gaunlet through all the options you list above until you strike something.

Surely it cannot ans should not be that complicated, yet this thread shows otherwise.
