Rival Motorbike Taxi Groups Clash in Pattaya, Four People Injured
Wrong. They find out a lot and they know a lot. But then it's a question what they do with that knowledge...

Cable brands - big differences?
Did you buy a brand name product from a reliable source? Or something cheap from China? I remember I saw a video from Dave from EEVblog talking about producing devices. It seems he only buys from known places like DigiKey. They are not cheap, but reliable.

Maybe now the authorities collect all the personal details of (new) customers. Hello, I want a girl. No problem sir, we will visit you soon. ????

Rival Motorbike Taxi Groups Clash in Pattaya, Four People Injured
As far as I know the Win-riders pay a lot of money to work at those locations. Wins from other locations know the rules. Don't pick up a passenger from an area from another Win group location! The Bolt riders ignore the territory rules - and there are consequences. I don't like it. But as far as I know all those Win payments are informal to the local "influential people". The system is broken when one group has to pay for local access and another group doesn't pay. It would be wonderful if the authorities would sort this out.

I hope for you that doesn't include lots of payments - all entered on your phone. ????

Yes. If you do it all new, no problem. If the wires are (not) in the wall, without conduit, then think twice.

The 2-way switches are easily available, from many brands.- Vehicle exhaust Pollution around condos
Because EVs don't contribute to air pollution. They get the power out of the wall socket, correct? And the vehicles, batteries, etc. are all produced somewhere far away. It's their pollution, I don't do that. Yeah, sure, so much about hypocrisy.- World chess federation bars transgender women from competing in women's events
Maybe they should add IQ divisions. Like: I am a champion, I won in the under 80 IQ division. ????- World chess federation bars transgender women from competing in women's events
Yes, we all know than men and women are different in many ways. But it seems these days feminists insist that women are at least as capable as men. Fine. So play with the men, and don't use "we are the week sex, we need special treatment".- World chess federation bars transgender women from competing in women's events
I am surprised that that is something like women's chess. Playing chess is all about the brain. This would only make sense if women and men would have considerable different IQs. As far as I know that is not the case.- Vehicle exhaust Pollution around condos
Now it's a lot better than it was 20 years ago, especially with all those black smoke green little busses.- Vehicle exhaust Pollution around condos
I live not too far away from that area. Here some impressions: You are in the middle of the city! Maybe you walk 5min in smog. What's the alternative when you want to visit the middle of the city? Driving an hour from a not so polluted area into the middle of the city - for an hour in "a little smog"? How often are you outside? I live in a high floor apartment - even if there is traffic on the ground floor, it's not on a high floor. And many of these buildings are high. Few people walk along Asoke. Get a motorcycle taxi and it's over in 2min. You get used to it. Think about alternatives. I guess you thought about living there because it is in the middle of the city, and everything is available in walking motorcycle-taxi distance. I have to admit whenever I am in an area with 7/11 father away then that, I am sure I don't want to live there. It's a choice.- ChatGPT DOES have a left-wing bias: Scientists confirm the AI bot's responses favour the Democrats in the US and the Labour Party in the UK
You can't really blame AI for not supporting people like Trump and Boris.- Interesting insight to old tourists marrying bargirls.
I have a suggestion for the admins. Can we please ban post with a link and not much more. If there is a story and then a link for more information, fine. But if it is necessary to click on a link, which could go to any malicious site, just to know what the comment is about, then I suggest we don't need them. Especially as first posts in a thread.- Chinese Rolls-Royce Owner Demands Compensation from Pickup Truck Driver
So, it seems you think for 3k premium a year your insurance would pay for the repair of any luxury car. Really? I know it's not your fault. But with the premiums in Thailand the insurance companies won't be able to pay damages of expensive cars.- Chinese Rolls-Royce Owner Demands Compensation from Pickup Truck Driver
I would like to know the legal situation. I have an idea about reality in Thailand. But I also understand that if person A damages property of person B, then normally A has to pay. Or maybe A's insurance pays. If it's clear rich and poor and all Thai then likely all will go according to normal procedure. But let's say if I would crash with my insured bike into an expensive car. Am I liable to pay everything with the money which I saved for my retirement? What's the legal situation?- What's the point of many many new threads?
He? I have at least 3 annoying users in mind. But obviously they could all be the same person. And if the person(s) are hired to create traffic (to better sell the site), then I guess they won't go on any holiday.- Chinese Rolls-Royce Owner Demands Compensation from Pickup Truck Driver
Really? Let's say you own a Porsche or a big Ducati, do you also think then you should be able to just pay yourself if someone else damages your car or bike? Where is the line of "normal" cars and bike where people who damage them should pay them, and when are people considered rich you can afford this or that car or bike?- Chinese Rolls-Royce Owner Demands Compensation from Pickup Truck Driver
I find it interesting how many comments here are negative about the Chinese lady. She was not the one who crashed into someone else car. Her property was damaged. If it would be an article that a Thai crashed into an expensive car of a farang, then we can be sure about all the "farang always guilty" comments. But if it is a Chinese woman then the situation is obviously very different. Really?- recycling old computer boards and drives

What a post. You started with speaking up against stereotypes. And you end with using other stereotypes.- Chinese Rolls-Royce Owner Demands Compensation from Pickup Truck Driver
It would be interesting to see here information about the legal situation. Many of us have an insurance. But all insurances have limits. And in Thailand the limits are not high. If a poor person with a (government) insured vehicle crashes into something expensive, what will happen? The poor person won't be able to pay the full repair cost because the person is poor. But what would happen is i.e. a farang dollar millionaire rides on a properly insured motorcycle and crashes into such car? After the insurance pays the little money which it will pay, does the rich person have to pay all the rest from his own money? It would be great to read a legal answer about this - and not lots of speculations as usual. - Cable brands - big differences?
