Not being familiar with Chaingmai, I can't seem to find a Sripat Hospital. Is that the same as he Chinag Mai University Hospital, or Suan Dok Hospital?

finally, at long last, i see.... there is something good coming out of thaivisa members....

i am overwhelmingly impressed with everyone....

this is something like one in a half million occurence.... <did i get it wrong again?> LOL

bravo and congrat everyone....

Is that northern Thai for pomelo?

phetaroj, we need to translate you statement for our British readers. You weren't a headmaster at a 'public school,' which would be posh, elite, private. You administered a 'state' school.

If the teacher and administration are that unprofessional and ignorant, go elsewhere, next week.

My heartfelt condolences to family and friends. As a rather conservative Christian myself, and openly gay.

I'm willing to knock 7% off my top speed to get faster acceleration. How to do that?

Going up 3 teeth in the rear may knock 7% off your top speed (it may actually make you go faster if you're not redlining in top gear with stock sprockets) and get you better acceleration (assuming your wrist isn't too limp<--comment from another thread).

2 tickets in nearly 7 years - both deserved.

A lot more Thais get pulled over than farangs!

You pay double the fine for "on the spot fine" instead of wasting your valuble farang time at the police station.

Is there a preventative human vaccine, or, are we all subject to shit scaring ad nauseum post bite injection sessions.

The front brake lever is on the right side. The clutch lever is on the left. It's not rocket surgery.

Actually, the stock pipe and fixing the loose stator returned it to stock. Maybe 15% boost with exhaust changes. That's all.

I'll bet some back-room clerk at TCT has no idea that major States of the USA such as Texas, did not issue BEd. degrees. My daughter has a BA as a science teacher, and is permanently State-licensed as a State teacher.

I didn't lose 499 posts. Out of 16,400.

Your DL contains a reference to your passport number. Chiang Mai police only charged this farang 200 baht, keeping my DL overnight.

These under-235 cc bikes don't have a stiff clutch. Unless you're very limp-wristed.

Sitting at a traffic light after school this week, all the teen-aged boys were really looking at my CBR150. It's now in its ninth model year with no changes, and many bigger bikes and nearly-equal scooters are on the market. They and their fathers still see it as the champion.

Rich poo-yai would rather the lower classes die.

I got bit by an expensive muzzled dog. No report. Get your shots afterwards at Red Cross. My rich landlady was horrified at the idea of killing a dog.

Weird - I only see out of one eye. I always wear full-face. I turn my head. And yes, the guy told Dustin Hoffman right in The Graduate, around 1972 - the future was in plastics.

Likewise, my ortopedist and infectious disease specialists at Samitivej had long residencies in USA and could write, but not cure me. The ortho guy in Chiang Mai, who did several years in Michigan, operated and cured me.

Some guy's Thai wife thought Koolpunt Villa Athena was Khun Pan Antenna.......

Agreed, front brake doesn't get you killed. Using only the back brake might get you killed. Use both.

For beginners, automatics are easier. Hey - my first barely-powered 2-wheeler was a one-speed clutchless Cushman. Which I don't count as a motorcycle.

IMHO, auto clutch and transmissions give the rider the temptation to not pay attention to riding. Hold your handbag, use your mobile...

My neurologists at Sripat in Chiang Mai are fluent.
