  4. After many long conversations with my (Thai) Brother in law who is a Captain in the Thai police, driving habits here will never change, as all of the Thai's including Police drive the same way, & they see no wrong in it, and surely they cannot be told how...... their views on these accidents is "its fate"

  7. While you're reviving it please make sure some basic hygiene rules are taught, especially the washing of hands after the Vendor has used the Toilet, or have changed the Nappy of the baby in tow.. like it witnessed yesterday, without hand washing
  8. Good NHS showed you your results....... While in the uk 2 years ago i had a full but minor Stroke, I had a couple of Scans which i was never showed the results of, but was told on my discharge no further treatment was necessary, .. on arrival back in Thailand i went to the Hospital doctor who usually does my annual check ups he suggested i have an Ultrasound scan on my Cartoid Arteries which i objected too seeing as how NHS had done them weeks before, i ended up having the scan which revealed a 75% blockage which im told is life threatening as they showed me the blockage which needed an operation ASAP, When i asked why NHS had said no further treatment, the Thai doctor suggested Nhs have to save money...
  9. There are plenty of exercises that dont involve your ankle.......you need to burn more calories
  10. It sounds like a joke, but how about those who indicate going around a bend in the road... When i first met my Mrs. she had a Honda Wave that she kept coming off of, more so in wet weather, & she didnt know why, the end result was her applying only the front brake, when i asked why she never applied the rear brake she told me bikes dont have rear brakes !!!! when i showed her the rear brake, she told me its a foot rest Lol
  11. In Thailand, my thoughts are it is a place where animals suffer

  15. As we crossed the water on the Ferry to Koh Chang i saw a thick Yellowy colour Smog looking out to Sea, I mentioned this to the Hotel owner on the Island who said ..." its morning Mist " lol .....What at 2pm .....
