  1. Surprise Surprise. Do I smell an insurance scam ?
  2. IF he WAS wearing a 200.000bht bracelet !
  3. The first year I came to LOS I had this in Pattaya.I was renting bike bikes and at the back of Jomtien they nearly killed me when I got a bucket of water in the face from a pick up while riding.I stayed up .Parked the bike for 10 days and never went back to Pattaya during Songkran again. Esan has succumbed to the uncivilized water throwing idiots but as you say only for three days thankfully.
  4. Correct but I remember it being enforced under Taksin
  5. Well ,not opening Shopping Malls until 10 am , closing Service stations at midnight and not selling alcohol between 2pm and 5 pm [I'm not sure of the times] were all Shinawatra ideas and look how well they worked. So why not a month long Songkran ?
  6. We're not in Kansas anymore Toto
  7. Glad only he the boat anchor was hurt not some other innocent.
  8. Ex-pats have been on about the " Imminent fall of the Thai economy" for 20 years that I know of.
  9. I had a bad experience in Korat when a bar a mate and I were at had a table of drunk Thais acting like dickheads. Maha Sarakaham coppers have had a bad reputation for a long time.
  10. Men with children's brains , Driving ,and Guns great combination
  11. Yeah not like Thailand.
  12. It's not pick ups ,motorcycles,trucks ,cars,or buses, it's the complete lack of driving skills, drunk driving, and NO law enforcement .
  13. Russia is booming.The sanctions are a joke.
  14. I'm surprised it's so low. Maybe much more out of sight
  15. Yep nothing that can't be side stepped.Ignored or that a little backsheesh can't fix
  16. Is this a serious question? How long has the O.P. been in Thailand?
  17. Probably better than those Police wannabe volunteers in Pattaya that I've seen on TV
  18. In about that same area a few years ago ,I watched 5 pick up fly past us each about 2 feeet from the one in front.I said that's an accident waiting to happen. Sure enough another couple of miles on , 5 pickup smashed into the back of one another as the first one must have jammed the brakes on for some reason.People dead , dying or mangled.Just another day on Thai roads.
  19. It went a long time ago
  20. In other words situation as usual
