You pester us with your uncunning old farang / young thai girl stories so why cannot I pester you with sth entirely different?

And who made you judge and jury? Not all dress like that and who says that according to what've you have heard is to right way to get intregated into the society?

I think you are full of baloney. If you kept your mind open to suggestions then the discussion would have taken another turn.

OK fair enough. It's true that if you have no need to "integrate" as being respectable, and just want to be perceived as another down-and-outer in a wifebeater drinking lao khao with the lads that's your right.

For me, I need to make an impression to land jobs with wealthy Thai customers, so my view of integration is going to be different.

To each his own you're absolutely right.

You are full of baloney.

Last time i heard that was while watching Judge Judy many years ago

BS on the S2 face down.You were lucky.I knocked mine off the table last year . Landed face down, glass cracked, phone dead. 5k baht repair at Samsung. Not built for dropping. Old slide Samsung still working perfectly after many drunken drops.

To start with, it wasn't me doing the test, I did drop my S2 a few times and no cracks, no scratches, you can call it lucky if you want (I would call you un-lucky instead). Have you ever held the 4S in your hand? It's all glass and weights like a brick, no worder they break, not just in that youtube video.

That video is about the comparison of 4S and S2, now about S2 and some old Samsung. Keep in mind that every drop is not the same and there could be cases like yours when S2 falls down and breaks, but I'm sure the video perfectly demostrates that 4S can't stand a chance agains S2 if dropped.

the s2 is fragile and screen is very hard but brittle ,ive seen one break only falling from waist height

drop tests are very inconclusive since every drop is differnt unless they were dropped in a lab by a robot maybe 10,000 times and work out the average of screen failures

someone drop tested an iphone from a tall building in germany once and it recorded video all the way down .....and kept recording after it hit the bricks

video is probably still on youtube

YipYip, You say you live in a house. D'you by any chance have water jars filled by rainwater? If so, you might extol the healthy virtues of washing the hair in rainwater. My much beloved adopted this procedure when we moved up-country. She fills a bowl with water from the jar, squats prettily and washes, then conditions and rinses her hair. No clogged drains!

If you don't have rainwater, what about a hose from your main water supply? If squatting prettily is not an option, raise the bowl to an acceptable height.

You could also, of course, assemble the foursome, look suitably worried and seek their advice as to how to deal with the problem, citing destruction of the pipework by using acid as the reason for your concern.

Give it a shot. Prevention is so much better than cure.

well ,couldnt read the directions so,i poured the whole packet in ......

and now toxic smoke is coming out of the drain

seems to be doing to trick

Excellent stuff gentlemen ! Going to purchase it now

i have a license but i never show it to them. Do not show or give your license to them It creates more problems as they try to take it.

They lost my license at the police station once as i lost the receipt they gave me and they never found it.

So, i always say: " I don't know, i no English, no Thai" what ever they say to me.

They mostly let me go most of the time.

Try and see, you will understand me. haha

i tried that once at suvaranpuum

pretended i couldt understnd anything ........

they radioed for a pick up to bring my bike to be impounded at the station (i was thinking they might be stealing it because it was a grey import also )

You need some sort of licence to drive anything in thailand ,at least in BKK

live in a house with 4 women constantly washing their hair ...............

need something strong that can pour down + dissolve the blockage

is there anything in the big C or would a hardware shop be better ?

the 2nd pic looks like a cctv shot of a thief stealing a bike

may i ask something that is out of the topic? been wondering, does thai gold have the highest percentage of gold in their jewelries? 96.5%?

i could vaguely remember the gold i had seen in hongkong are actually lower in % but cost more than thai gold, is that due to the workmanship or there is some materials that justify the cost?

you can even get 24k jewelry.

is thai " bog standard" gold the same as 24K gold in the west ?

No problem in the sticks, only helmets on market day.

^^ YipYip..not producing your licence is probably an offence.

i had my licence and when i was relieved of it at the first checkpoint earlier in the day ,how could i have it again to produce at the next checkpoint and the next one after that ?

(if you get an official ticket ,you have 7 days to pay the bill from the date on it ) )

multiple checkpoints on the same day are going to result in some people being stopped 2-3-4+ times if you need to do a lot of driving like i do

they could have all gotten a small bribe from me but if they want to be extra greedy ,il ask for an official ticket each time

Might be time to start riding a scooter again ,big shiny bikes give the impression youre loaded with cash

never happen ...........

Sometimes happens on my S2. Don't know the answer, but hopefully a firmware update will fix it.

Me also- just bought the S2, and have noticed my phone falling off the network. When it happens, it is totally gone - "Emergency Calls Only". Rebooting the phone restores the connection right away.

Irritating because there is no outward sign when this happens - still showing signal strength, and sometimes still have data service, but can't make or take phone calls.

Anyone else have problem like this? I'm suspecting the SIM card, even though the SIM worked fine for a year in my previous Galaxy mini, and for years before that in a variety of telephones.

thats more or less exactly what i get on my gs2 (AIS )

i thought /assumed it was thailands 3G network was dodgy but it seems to be android devices only because my old phones 600 thb nokia never loses a bar of signal

plastic box sets from GIVI and SHAD are widely available on classifieds (watch out ,apparently theres fake givi stuff from china now being sold on thai sites )

havent seen much soft luggage sets around

probably iphone 6 or 7 would be a more fair comparison

at the moment i thinh the gs3 is light years ahead of the iphone4s

i even think the gs2 was waaaayy better than the ipone 4s

i had this shit last week ,first time i flew past them in the 4th lane (the overtaking lane in some countries )

he waved me to pull in but i didnt see the wave and hammered on

on the way back (on a differnt route of course ) i gets stopped again ,i was in lane 2 of 4 lanes BUT THE INNERMOST IS A HARD SHOULDER which was

blocked by police vehicles and desks and chairs

I only had a 1000 ,a 500 and a 100 in my pocket, i offered to pay 100 since i had done nothing wrong

he said to just give him the 500 or we go police station ,

I laughed and put it back it back in my pocket

i refused to hand him over my licence and asked for proof i had been in the right lane for this immaginary offence

he then got flustered and and said my hat was illegal ,tinted visor is illegal so hes correct

so again i told him i can pay 100 or nothing? ,up to you ? I tell him im going to need a photograph of his police ID number

and record this incident because he is most definately in breach of the rules and took out my phone as if i was going to record him on video

he flipped and tried to grab the phone but i stepped back and lowered the phone before he decided to shoot me

he calls over a superior officer and i explain that i was in the left lane all the way from the intersection to the checkpoint ,he said maybe that police made a mistake about the lane but would have to give me a fine anyway for the illegal hat (which i accepted )

i decided at that point ,these monkeys at the side of the road werent getting any cash from me and then requested an official ticket so i can pay it in my own time

i took that fine and went on my way ,i ask someone to read it for me

(written in thai of course ) and i WAS FINED 400 THB FOR RIDING IN THE WRONG LANE !!!

night time comes andi was riding again and came around a corner straight into a checkpoint and they pulled the same shit and about lanes

ANOTHER 400 THB

i just showed him my ticket from the morning and they wanted to fine me again ,but id have to pay cash ON THE SPOT

i had about 30k in my pockets but i wasnt pulling that out so i asked for a ticket to pay at the station because i had not money

After a few minutes deliberation ,they asked me if i have ATM card ,also i had about 6 cards in my wallet but i smiled and said no,thank you

il pay at the station , just write me a ticket please......

they went back and conferred and surprisingly came over and said ok,now u go ( for free after 15 minutes of detention and deliberation they must have decided i was wasting more time than i was worth )

yesterday i was riding again and i see a checkpoint in front ,i switch right in behind a fast moving fortuner and ignore their waves to pull over again

its getting beyond a joke , 6-7 checkpoints in a week and they want usually 400 if they can get it whether youve done anything or not

anything with a big screen will be good for those purposes

dont bother spending too much on the fastest CPU or graphics because for your purposes ,you wont know the differnce

big HDD is desirable but external ones are so cheap ,you can buy those if and when u need them

Hi

I am a big fan of android system and owner of many android devices (mostly samsungs)

I have noticed sometimes (not very often ) my phone signal bars go to zero and there is a tiny R character

(obviously ,this means i cant recieve calls or data when im in this stage )

doesnt happen on my 600thb nokia

usually i can reboot the phone and it works again but i was talking with two thai guys

using android phones from other manufactures (not samsung ) and they live 50 km from me

on the opposite side of the city who have the same problem sometimes

they think it an android problem and they think it doesnt happen on iphones

i was under the impression it was a dropped signal due to the dodgy thai network transmitters etc

and when you re-boot the phone ,it re-connects to the server

does this happen to anyone else or has anyone noticed anything similar ?

Why would we feel bad abou it?

i would feel a lot worse if i bought an apple iphone 4s

sorry,im in the centre of bangkok

thats just what i was hoping (fabricate parts to make it fit or buy a few fittings and use 80% of what ive already got )

a nice cheap solution

these GIVI boxes and racks are a nice design so id like to keep em and stick em on the Versys if possible

if i have to get new ,il probaby go with shad boxes or something cheaper than givi

have you decided to not ride again in thailand ? or just the bike is finished ?

If its as crap as everything else from china i doubt many people will buy one

they cant make 125cc and 250cc bikes properly yet so god help anyone who buys a 1000cc supersport

from china

If China can put a man in space then they can build a litre sportsbike...........maybe.

the chinese government have unlimited cash to work on space age programs and probably world domination

i doubt lifan can compete with those resources and this bike will probably be cheap shit "cost focused " more

than cutting edge groundbreaking bike technology

1961 the farangs had a man in space ? thats a long time ago now in terms of tech advancements

I have a set of givi boxes and mounting racks that came off a 2011 Ninja 650

I want to put them on a 2011 Versys but the brackets are a differnt fitting

is there any shop that could modify the ninja bracket to fit on a versys or would

it be cheaper to just dump the lot and buy a system designed for the versys ?

Yamaha Big Bike on Ratchada rd seem might be worth a checking

I kill little brown scorpions. mosquitoes and centipedes. The big black scorpions can go on their way. I don't allow anyone to molest my tokays because they enjoy eating the centipedes. Since my tokays are protected by me, I have not seen a centipede for over a year.

In the last 3 months I have had scorpions, millipedes and now this centipede, but to me the worst of all are those flying cockroaches. I hate cockroaches with a vengeance ever since I worked in a bakery as a teenager and we had to kill them in their hundreds by stamping on them. All that crunching and blood underfoot, Yeuk !!

sounds a bit messy ,theres plenty of posions out there but probably not allowed to use near food baking area
