  1. I hope this is NO 1th of April joke. But accidents have many causes here;

    - bad drivers, no driving skills

    - drunk or using other stuff

    - animals

    - bad roads

    - weather

    - wrong signs

    - bad maintenance

    - perhaps a wasp in the cabin, who knows

    It seems to be impossible to fight this all. Be careful, that's what I think.

    And it could be a lot of other reasons as well.

    Traffic accidents happens in every country around the world and traffic accidents will never come down to none - nowhere. But the rate of accidents in Thailand seems very high and the number of fatalaties as well. I wish there could there be done something to reduce the number of accidents and fatalaties.

    I have been taking the overnight bus between Chiang Mai and Udon several times and there are some really bad curves in a steep mountain area near Phitsanoluk. Its not difficult to understand that accidents happens there.

  2. The only time I've ever been allowed to enter Laos without a visa is in the golden triangle area. There's some island on the Mekong river with some kind of market which you can access by boat without passing through both immigrations. Anyway not too much to shop, just old opium pipes, big knifes and spirits and tobacco. The tobacco was cheaper but not sure about the quality, didn't buy it.

    I did the same some 7-8 years ago. Very touristy arrangement, mostly souvenir rubbish to buy.

  3. How to date a thai woman?

    It would have been much more interesting if someone wrote a piece that was called "How not to end up with a thai woman"

    Almost all of my single (and even some of the taken ones as well......whistling.gif ) male friends, friends of friends and friends of friends of friends and other aquintances that has ever gone to Thailand seem to end up with a thai spouse in the end. It seems almost impossible to avoid these women.....

  4. Flying with these sort of back Waters airlines are the origin of the saying: ON A

    WING AND A PRAYER AIRLINES...

    What other options do you have in Myanmar? Train, Bus - forget it....

    Thai Airways crashlands sometimes, Bangkok Airways too and 1-2 go as well (Yeas the latter is not operating anymore now but anyway...). Ever travelled with one of those?

    1 - 2 Go changed the name to her Parent Company and flies, same Aircraft type that crash landed, Mc Donnel Douglas,

    I flew with them and was positively surprised! NO FEAR!

    Pilot and Co-Pilot will, a good possibility, need a new Job and the Motorbike driver, did not hear the plane coming?

    Now I know a good reason, why I should not use a very loud exhaust on my Motorbike!

    And I know now an excuse to the Policeman, when I drive a Motorbike without Helmet in South East Asia.

    =My ears must be free, to hear a possible on the road landing airplane in time!=.whistling.gif

    No helmet needed for you.....
