  1. Elephant pants just like shorts do not look particularly nice on a grown man, but they are probably the most comfortable to wear in hot weather.
  2. In the UK there are zig zag lines approaching the crossing and flashing yellow lights at each end. You must not overtake on these zig zag lines, and pedestrians should put their foot on the line to let the vehicles know they want to cross. IMO, there should not be any of these crossings, they should have lights instead which should always be working.
  3. What a load of BS. Go back and read my post again. Where did I say anything about anyone getting in my way? And I am not like many.
  4. What an ignorant post. Some poor lady has just been killed. This is no laughing matter. Have some respect.
  5. Also remember that many crosswalks are badly marked and when you are driving behind other traffic you do not see the "black and whites" of the crosswalks until you are almost on it. If I see anyone waiting at a crosswalk, I will not stop unless a pedestrian steps on it first or makes it obvious they want to use it.
  6. This is not an excuse and I do not condone anyone going through a red light, but every driver knows that if he/she pulls up at a red light there are going to have to wait along time before it returns to green again. The vast majority of Thai drivers cannot wait 4 seconds like alone 4 minutes.
  7. 10 years is better than one year, then being treated like someone on parole with the ridiculous 90 day reporting.
  8. Better that than being shirtless.
  9. Maybe slightly of topic, but I always used the Nana Hotel when I was in Bangkok, but the AC now has buttons on the wall which makes it far difficult to use, the second last time I put up with it, but the last time I was kept awake at night because it was so cold. I moved out the next day and have not been back since. Pity that because I enjoyed their buffet breakfast.
  10. How do you stop a program running on your computer, Windows 11, without deleting it?
  11. Don't IO offices not usually make up their own rules?
  12. What about the people that drink at night?
  13. So if an Indian guy asks for a full pint then four straws will come with it? 😃
  14. Unlike the females the Thai males are not known for their looks, so your last sentence would be about right.
  15. I would not say that every Thai riding a motorbike is not intelligent. But the biggest majority certainly aren't. Here's a thought, what is the difference between being intelligent and having common sense.
  16. If anyone with a thick beard or big mouser sat next to me I would get up and leave. I would say that guys who covers part of their face must have something to hide.
  17. I would say there are a lot more cowards in Thailand than violent people, apart from the weapons thing about 95% of Thai guys need backup behind them before there is any attempt at violence on anyone.
  18. A massage from a man???? I cannot think of anything worse.
  19. I have been involved in a few assaults on guys back in the UK, Mainly for threatening me with violence but never in Thailand probably because as a non drinker I do not frequent bars where back in the UK I did, for various reasons. I have often pulled up guys in Thailand for queue jumping, but none of them have retaliated in any way probably because I was a big fit looking guy. I have read lots of times about Thai guys only fighting when the odds are in their favour but never been involved.
  20. Brilliant Charlie. Thanks.
  21. Watch and not trample on all the spittals on the pavements, and especially do not go into an all you can eat buffet.
