Thai people don't park - they just stop driving.

The truck is not moving and at a dead stop.  The poor woman just flat out runs into the back of it and, not having a helmet, bangs her head and passes from this life.   The law and right and wrong won't have much to do with it.  It's a shame about the lady.

My personal best is four . . . .  there was not a lot of sleeping.

At a minimum, you ought to be isolating yourself from anyone else for the next week and get some testing done as well.

OP  -  you were coming across as an upfront guy who had an unfortunate accident.  Not so much anymore.  Winny little <deleted> comes to mind now.  You have been given good advice several times here.  Good luck out there.

Now the door is broken and it will cost 10,000 to fix it. In other words buffalo is sick and it looks like a door. 

 

 

 

 

 

Now THAT is some funny stuff . . . . .  

I have an envelope taped to the front of my refrigerator that has all of the info and contact information that anyone would probably need.  It includes the phone, email, address, etc., for my daughter back in my home country, embassy information, the contact info for a couple of trusted friends (with their permission) in Thailand, copies of insurance docs, passport photo page, etc.   I frankly don't remember what all info I included but I would think it would mostly get someone sorted should things go south or an accident which is the more likely event.  Also, I have told several people about this envelope so that those trusted friend will know where to look.  

I've lived in HH for a number of years.  Certainly there are some Frenchmen there but not all that many.  I'm not sure about the need but I don't have a dog in the fight so good for them I guess.

In the old days . . .  and I'm only talking about a couple of years ago really, pre covid, it was a real ball ache for me to make my way to Thailand and - good gawd - look at it now.  It would take me some 30 hours to get to BKK including the layovers.  From confederate America to Dallas to Incheon (or Tokyo) and then on to BKK.  I would spend a night there and then I still had a 3 hour bus trip to my final.  Not to mention it was visa exempt.  I ended up living in the Land of Smiles for 15 years.  Fluent in Thai and Issan and more friends there now than back in the States.

I would not even begin to know how to go about getting all the stuff that is required to enter now and certainly would have no desire to wear a mask and do all the testing and lord know what else and what can go wrong.  I hate it but another trip to Thailand looks to be a long way away.

I was never a big fan of the caddies as I thought that, for the most part, there really were not very good at being a golf caddie.  The men who did that job were good however.  I had the one caddie who would stop by my place before she went to golf course and we would do the wild thing or we would go to a love motel after the round and then she would go home to her Canadian boyfriend.  Now THAT is my kind of caddie.

 "many other countries " 

What you call many and what I call many ain't the same many . . . . 

Good if you want to fly low and slow . . . .

I had no idea I was spending that kind of money . . . . .  !!

Whenever I read through threads like this, with all the hoops to jump through, it kinda confirms that although I would like to I will never make it back to Thailand.   Shame that - 15 years I was there, LOTS of good friends, fluent in the language (Issan as well), and never to be seen again.

We'll see . . . .
