As a Bolt frequent flyer, I must have ridden on the back of every brand of scooter available in Thailand. The two with the most comfortable suspension are the Forza and the Scoopy. The Forza is very difficult to dismount as a passenger - I do a reverse handspring off the back - often with a half-twist depending on the level of intoxication. The least comfortable are the Click and the Wave. Especially when they inflate the tyres to 60psi.

She will make a cashflow "profit" until the gas tank is empty. The list of wealthy taxi drivers is extremely short.

DSI seizes over 1,000 million baht from ‘Gofug’ lottery scam
Gsxrnz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I suspect the Gofugs were fudging the books and not paying the requisite 30% commission to those at the top of the hierarchical triangle. -

Altercation Turns Violent: Englishman and wife injured in Knife Duel
Gsxrnz replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Whenever I hear a friend or acquaintance discussing marital issues with their Thai wives/GF, the only advice I offer is "hide the knives and scissors". -
It sounds like you've never hung wallpaper before. I'm not suggesting it's an overly difficult task, but speaking from experience, there is a certain knack required that is only learned by mucking the job up on the first attempt. I agree with jacko, paint it.

Pattaya Officials Lead Coastal Cleanup at Cape Bali Hai
Gsxrnz replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Calling Bali Hai a "cape" is a tad pretentious. -
Maybe it's just me but I tend to look where I'm walking, and therefore avoid walking into static objects.

Update your passbook and hopefully it has composite updates and the less than 800k won't show. But I suspect the balances they show always show the lowest balance reached. It might show the EOD (end of day) balance, in which case you might get away with it. If I'm wrong, when you submit the bank statements, remove the page that shows the drop in limit. I've watched them checking the statements - they quickly scan down the balance column looking at the numbers, but they don't do what an auditor would do. i.e check for consecutive page numbers, or check the balance carried forward to the next page. It's worth a crack.

TTB Analytics Forecasts Historic Tourism Growth in Thailand for 2024

292.1 million equates to 800,000 arrivals every day. Either somebody put the decimal point in the wrong place, or getting a taxi out of Swampy will be nigh on impossible. -

People don't hate golf. But non-golfers get mightily annoyed with golfers that bang on continuously about their last round or their yardage with the latest Taylormade driver. Don't ask me about ardent stamp collectors.

Buy a cheap pressure gauge and check the pressure after the Thai numpty has blown them up to rock hard at 65psi. Then simply release the excess air in several stages to achieve your required pressure. The Thai numpty science logic assumes that tyres naturally lose pressure, so inflating rock hard means your tyres will stay inflated for longer. I run mine at the recommended pressures, but take off 3psi in the wet season. EDIT: Forgot to add regarding your mobility, keep the gauge under the scooter seat and get the numpty to check the pressure under your supervision. If you don't know the Thai for the appropriate numbers, learning them isn't difficult.
