  1. I ride motorcycle since almost 30 years in Thailand. Over bridges, in tunnels, and all that. And mostly I don't really care if it is legal or not. I think I never saw any standing bike or someone pushing a bike in tunnels or bridges. The idea about tunnels and bridges is to make traffic smoother. That works with any kind of vehicle. Sure, motorcycle riders have a higher risk. They all know that, and they accept that. Next.
  2. And is that only the case in a tunnel or anywhere on the streets?
  3. Great idea. But that sounds like mission impossible to me. I guess with many of them the police would have to shoot them before they give up their digital life.
  4. Just one of those videos. I watched a couple of them before I decided TOTO is best.
  5. That reminds me of something else that is often sold for 3000B in Thailand. That's more fun - or at least it can be.
  6. Really? Like: Don't you know who my father is back in Nigeria. Now you have to be scared. Really?
  7. What did you expect? That they invest it for you can give it back to you with interest? 555
  8. You don't need a big tank. It's more important how the flush mechanism of the toilet works. My TOTO toilet has a 4.8l tank. 100% never any problem.
  9. I don't know if it is true. It seems that many developers built buildings and don't sell all the units. And then they build more buildings and don't sell all of the units. If they wouldn't make money with selling only part of the building, then you would think they wouldn't build more and more of the same. Or not?
  10. And why do you think they care about what is morally right?
  11. The prices are too high to sell everything. But it seems the developers don't have to sell everything. Some time ago I talked at a private party with one of those developers. The cost of building, including the land, was about 1/3 of the selling price. I guess if they sell half, then the developer breaks even.
  12. She can live where she wants to live - with the restrictions from the countries where she wants to live. My point was/is, that from the point of view of the UK government, they want that the pension is spent within the UK.
  13. HomePro starting from 4500 THB https://www.homepro.co.th/c/BAT1109?s=21&size=100&b=toto&cst=0&pmin=&pmax=&q=Toilets&page=1#plist
  14. Why do you expect that it makes sense?
  15. If you want a good whoosh, buy TOTO. Even with a small tank. I have a nice one-piece TOTO. But they are all good.
  16. What do you mean, you cannot go to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. ?
  17. If she can't fly maybe there is a ship to the UK. No problem if it takes a little longer.
  18. There is no reason, or you don't want to see the obvious reason? a) If she spends the money in the UK then this is part of the UK economy. b) If she spends money in Thailand the money is lost for the UK. Why should the UK government support b)?
  19. I don't know if bikes break down more often than cars. A car blocking the road is for sure a bigger problem than a bike. And when a bike breaks down there will be soon after that a car behind the broken-down bike. That car will be the "buffer" to the traffic behind.
  20. As far as I remember SpyBot looks for spyware only. You should have a decent anti malware (virus) program running all the time.
  21. I visited a couple of those parks in Thailand. After a couple of years, they are all in unsafe condition. If the parks and the rides in the parks would be properly maintained, then this would cost a lot of money. How many Thais would be prepared to pay 1000B or more per person entrance fee?
  22. And the police could make a lot of money and at the same time make the area safer for everyone...
  23. I think many (most, all) new bikes have the lights on all the time, or automatically switched on. The police could enforce this - if they would want to do it.
  24. I thought foreigners can only get a work permit if they are employed in a Thai company with enough capital, at least 4 Thais for one foreigner, etc. Can anybody get a work permit (and Non-B visa) by just being a shareholder?
