  1. What you say,then you too must have noticed that the ‘safety measure’ does not apply here at all. Don't know if you have been on the ‘Boatlagoon’, but all those tour boats leaving there go through the canal to open water at a roaring speed, there is a sign saying max speed 5km, sometimes they passed at 50km/h, and I could go on and on.
  2. Your first post, and a nice respectful one too. My congratulations. Welcome to the club.
  3. That's what you think, well believe me in Europe they know a thing or two about it too, for example in the Netherlands, of the total amount payable, more than 50% is tax....
  4. What a terrible mess those governments in Europe are making of it, with the rampant importation of middle-eastern people, resulting in, knife attacks, murders committed with cars, areas in cities where you wouldn't dare go as a normal person. Things are moving very fast now, and I am convinced that there is intent. The terrible thing about it is that you are not allowed to name the reason, but we all know it is the ‘faith of peace’.
  5. Indeed, and what I mentioned before: the likelihood of an MB.
  6. In my opinion, and this is based on experience with a boat of my own in those waters, it is purely and simply helmsmanship. They do not possess that, unfortunately. And above all, disobeying rules and regulations, but that also falls under the concept of helmsmanship.
  7. Looking at the number of responses, I think there is only a very small chance of selling anything, less than 150 people, including myself have responded to this. Martpace, is not admissible for me because I am not connected to Facebook. The only thing left for me, regarding normal things is Bahtsold but even there the responses are minimal. Frankly, I don't understand, apart from eBay, in the Netherlands there is also a ‘Marktplaats’,if you look on that how many people use that, everything you can buy and sell there in a short time frame, but here? I really don't understand anything.
  8. Maybe on Chalong circle, for the rest of the island, it makes no difference at all.
  9. Simply because there is no decent driving education, and has been for a lot of years. Conclusion: the government doesn't give a damn. Ha, ha, Correction: Phuket Launches Road Safety Campaign with 4M Baht Boost
  10. They all joined the police in the hope of driving an MB in the future. There are some who were disappointed in that, resulting in such excesses.
  11. Having seen the photos of the mess left of it, I can hardly imagine that any bodies, alive or dead, are going to be found here.
  12. Perhaps one day you too might get older, but above all wiser I hope for you.
  13. I myself drive a diesel and say the same as you but the diesel engines of the Japanese used here are not as clean as the ones used in Europe, unfortunately.
  14. And as far as I can remember, they started widening it to a Highway around 1993-94.
  15. Yes, it is all in a word ridiculous, and nothing will change.
  16. I have the same experience with that SCB, previously through their website it was easier, with that app it has not improved. If you want to do a picture of your payment order you get the message from SCB that it is not allowed, what the f**k. So now I take a picture of the screen with another camera, I'm in charge of my money...I guess.
  17. No, that's correct, but a Captain's course in LOS, I don't rate highly either.
  18. There is no hiding the love for China.
  19. Whatever happens, they will never blame themselves, they feel themselves superior to the white man.
  20. Yes, it can get late at parties. And possibly a glass too many too, but a grumbler who pays attention.
