  1. Yeah, the top one man, now if only I could remember what post it was answering lol...
  2. I needed the Reggie Perrin MIL Hippo desperately to reply to a previous comment, but .. I .justcouldn'tmakeitHAPPEN.....
  3. give up, can't work out how to post a GIF of a Hippo in a quoted comment reply...
  4. Well good luck, I'll be waiting for the prices to come down, which'll happen as Thailand slowly gets swamped with imported seeds...
  5. True but won't happen. This gov in particular doesn't give a flying f%@* about the poor or retired. It'll look after all the gov minions and military, plus the hi so's while keeping the serfs in their place...
  6. Because they wouldn't have done anything unless he promised to pay them several thousand Baht TIT
  7. Just about every Thai male smokes in the villages, and quite a lot of women too...
  8. The gov gave a lot of poor people the land that they were squatting on several decades ago. If you are landless poor now, on the wages that they'd get they have no chance of buying even half a rai at nowadays prices...
  9. Poor people here have no chance whatsoever of buying land...
  10. If your only earning 10000Bht/month, 300,000 Bht is an unattainable fortune to you. Very tempting to do a runner with, I'm sure. Paying half back while spending the other half shows a basically honest person just unable to resist temptation when put in front of her. Sad, should have either taken the lot and ran, or returned it all. Now she'll be completely <deleted> over...
  11. The Thai ambulances automatically take you to the most expensive hospital if your a Farang, they pay most to the ambulance per patient. which on Sumai is the Bangkok hospital, who then hold your passport for ransom until you pay their extortionate bill. This is another, well known scam which has been going on for a very long time...
  12. They don't need one, they've already fixed the election with 250 unelected senators having, in effect the casting vote...
  13. 100% I'd have thought, theres no accountability whatsoever for stuff like that here...
  14. Which makes it the inside lane, agreed it's not supposed to be driven on, but here it doubles as the scooter lane
  15. Ah, but Thailand is the centre of the universe so soft power here doesn't mean the same thing as it does to the rest of the world lol
  16. The left shoulder IS the inside lane, the "shoulder" is short for hard shoulder, which is always the inside lane, what on earth are you talking about? And I've been driving here, and done a lot of kilometers for ten years exclusively on motorbikes so I actually believe that I do know what I'm talking about, 40 km/hour is very slow which I said was the only safe way to ride in that lane. Doing 5,6 or 700 km rides I'm not prepared to go that slowly, nor I think would anyone else...
