  1. 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.
  2. She will make a cashflow "profit" until the gas tank is empty. The list of wealthy taxi drivers is extremely short.
  3. I suspect the Gofugs were fudging the books and not paying the requisite 30% commission to those at the top of the hierarchical triangle.
  4. 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".
  5. 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.
  6. I spent 95% of my money on women, booze, and fast cars. The remainder i just squandered. RIP George Best.
  7. Doesn't even come close to the "Pattaya Pattaya" song by the recently deceased Lou Deprijck, released way earlier in about 2006.
  8. Calling Bali Hai a "cape" is a tad pretentious.
  9. Maybe it's just me but I tend to look where I'm walking, and therefore avoid walking into static objects.
  10. 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.
  11. Jomtien Air 086-889-9001.
  12. The world birth rate is 2.3 https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?locations=TH-1W And the entire western world is well under 2.0 https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?locations=TH-1W&view=map We are on the way to population decline and eventual extinction, but nobody is talking about it except Uncle Elon.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Is clipping errant Indian pedestrians with your side-mirrors an official sport yet?
  16. Thread header should be "Sadomasochist seeks other Sadomasochists to play with - skirts optional".
  17. 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.
