  1. "The roads are dangerous here." They certainly are, and so are the majority of Thai drivers.
  2. I didn't know that tubing is a water sport, in fact I have never even heard of it.
  3. What's wrong with girls in bikini's? I see the point in these fat, ugly, big bellied guys going shirtless, but girls in bikini's? Come on,what normal guy is going to complain about that?
  4. Is the KLM desk at Swampy always open on weekdays? If I want to speak to them about a flight should I go there or maybe better going to their head office?
  5. If it was me I would not have accepted the "up to you" I would just have asked him nicely what the fare is, but if you said "wait 15 mins for me" and you took say 25 he would be entitled to a bit extra, you can do the approximate figure in your head and give him it plus a tip.
  6. and the face covering of woman of a certain faith.
  7. A perfect example of bad Thai driving, why can't the water bottle truck not stay in the nearside lane?
  8. "A hot-pot lunch followed by an afternoon film in the theater?" Why should anyone want to go to the theatre "cinema" to watch a movie when you can have all the equipment you need at home and watch the movies at your leisure? There are various sourses for watching any movies you fancy, ie Netflix or all the downloads you want.
  9. Anyone know if there is a travel agency in Central Thailand, Phichit, Nakhon Sawan, Phitsanulok etc.
  10. I am saying yes, but I am a bit wary of it being compulsary.
  11. No! I am not against seat belts, they save a lot more lives than they cost, I just wonder if they should be compulsary.
  12. I was referring to the car going of the pier. this happened in England years ago, you may remember it, a police woman drowned because she was trapped by her seat belt.
  13. I agree, another way of looking at it, you could be driving and be involved in a head on crash the steering wheel comes back and crushes you on the chest causing serious injury or even death because your seat belt stopped you from ducking down to the passenger seat.
  14. Let's wait and see if these things actually happen. The Labour party especially with a multimillionaire "Sir" PM will be like all the other "party of the working class" politicians, bigger Liars and Hypocrites than all the other political parties put together.
  15. They won't be any action if any of these guys are on their own and there is no way they can contact their pals quickly. I know from experience.
  16. Has anyone ever been overcharged by a motorbike taxi. Please tell us of the outcome.
  17. I agree with you, but if there was an incident, and there have been, where someone was killed because he/she was wearing a seat belt, you can bet that it would not be reported in the news or the press. I can only remember one such incident which was reported in my whole lifetime.
  18. and how would you feel if you were involved in a crash and the car was on fire and they were trapped by their safety belt, or the car was in the water after going off the pier. Of course it can't happen can it?
  19. Are you serious?? Get over to one of bob's topics, that should suit you.
  20. "If I saw a Thai fighting with Bob I would jump in to help. Help the Thai" You would not need to help the Thai, he would already have 3 or 4 Thai guys already at his back. I have lived here for 18 years and never as much as been even threatened, I have been about Bangkok and Pattaya many times and never had a problem. If you are sober and mind your own business you will not have a problem with any violence in Thailand.
  21. I would go after him with a baseball bat or pick axe handle, after hitting him on the face and he is lying on the ground I would break his legs. I would do a bit of due diligence, make sure there was no witnesses or camera's about. If the guy knew where I lived, I would wait a few months then pay someone else to do it. But one thing is certain, he would not get away with it.
