  1. biggest problem on the road is the arrogance of the drivers/riders and a lot of it is due to the lack of a police presence/enforcement of the rules. The fact that many have no idea of the road rules/ignorance is also a big part of it, when they think they can do as they please it becomes a lot more dangerous for everyone else. Thais do have their own driving/riding style, they think everyone else should let them go first and move out of their way, they see nothing wrong with forcing their way to get where they want to be and pushing into oncoming traffic, they see pedestrians as fair game even on crossings, I have seen them swerve to hit animals, they appear to have a very macabre sense of thinking. Walking in Thailand can be risky, I have been hit by motor bikes in walking areas and had to jump out of the way of cars, they just dont care and it is getting worse, maybe enforcement of the rules and proper driver/rider training as well as stricter licence tests instead of the garbage system they use now would help but it will never happen.
  2. again we see a bike accident with kids, was she licenced, if not why was she out on a motor bike at that time, while the car driver was in the wrong, like many other accidents it may have been avoidable if the law was enforced, way too many unlicenced kid riders are involved in accidents when they should not be on the roads apart from going to and coming from school. Unfortunately many thai parents dont give a s*** what their kids do as long as they do not interfere with what they are doing, riding illegally doesnt bother them at all, it all boils down to the police not enforcing the road rules and doing their jobs, sorry for the girls but there is a more involved than just the car driver
  3. will always be those that want to big note themselves with the BS claim of being ex SAS, dont know about the UK SAS but spent some time with the aussie guys in the dive wing back in the 70's when I was a lot better body wise. I found them to be very down to earth, the older guys would open up on some of what they had done but making out they were more than others was something they didnt do. I had a ball working with them and will always hold it up as one of the best times I spent during my service, maybe the bragging is a UK thing as I just didnt see it with the aussies, then again its more than likely those that never served or were in a basic unit, will always be BS from some that just like to big note themselves.
  4. looking great, no more dei, only men & women so no more trans BS in sports etc, so far its looking very good with a lot of the leftisit crap removed
  5. really have to wonder at how pathetic someone is to let politics or religion to come into dating or getting a bit, all this does is show just how deluded dem voters are, cant have it off with anyone if someone didnt vote the way they demand them too. Mate you are a total drop kick, just goes to show the demented thinking of dems, they believe they are the be all and end all of everything, its why they were totally screwed over by the US voting public and lost in every instance, the presidency, the senate, the house and the vote, looks like you also lost getting a bit on the side, hahahahaha.
  6. generally sending plant material outside Thailand requires a phytosanitary certificate to ensure it is not infected/carrying anything untoward, when my wife sends seeds to the US and elsewhere a phyto is needed or they are returned/destroyed
  7. Spot on mate, they all see the dollar/baht signs they can make from ripping off farangs with the new tax BS, it is all just a money grab, something thais seem to be pretty good at.
  8. the armed forces are there to protect the country not bow down to woke culture designed to suit the pathetic democrat play book, the US armed forces used to be recognized as an elite fighting force, now they are regarded as a joke. Getting them back to where they were before biden totally f'd them up is the only way to go especially with all the world conflicts, getting rid of the BS gender crap is the first thing that needs to go then all the other woke crap that was pushed onto them.
  9. why in the hell would I be interested in anything about the f'd uk BS, in Australia it is a piece of wood, 4" x 2", perfect size to knock some sense into idiots
  10. the idiots voted for a woke govt now they can reap what they voted for, the UK is f'd
  11. time for the govt to lock this idiot up or deport her, calling for violence is beyond a joke, a piece of 4 x 2 would fix the problem
  12. I went in yestreday to get something and as usual it was out of stock so I refreshed a couple of times and got it(no longer out of stock), must be a glitch with their software
  13. some couriers will openly lie about deliveries, I have had it several times over the years, even had one courier deliver my packge to someone over 100 klm away. A lot comes down to which courier they use, some have no problem lying about not being able to deliver for various reasons, no one home or courier was phoned asking to delay delivery for another day seem to be the most popular.
  14. I too have noticed that some of the more popular restaurants have dropped the bundle on their food quality, they were great at one stage but their quality has dropped a lot, The thing is I have also found that local mum & pop shops have maintained their quality and service so we have dropped going to bigger name shops and go to the smaller local ones and still get great food. If I had to put up a reason it would be profits in the bigger name ones, they are now after a lot more profit and dropping quality and service are the result while mum & pop shops havent changed, they rely on regular customers without all the fancy bits & pieces, they are cheap and very good while maintaining the quality of their ingredients as well as service. As for coffee I find starbuck s coffee is garbage as is most of the brand name coffee, again they rely on their name only and not the quality. If I want to get a good coffeee I go the the smaller shops, I select the roast not accept the style they make the shop use or I make it at home with beans I buy and grind it myself. Many thais as well as other only go to branded shops because they want people to think they are more than they really are, same with some restaurants, when I read about all the crap about big brand shops I cant stop laughing, this is Thailand, its not the west so everything depends on profits, this is one of the first things you learn living here, profits are more important than anything else especially with branded shops, maybe do as the locals do and eat at the better mom & pop shops
  15. they do not belong on the foot path and I am sure a few years ago they stopped it or tried. I have been hit by an idiot racing through people that were walking, they should be on the road where they belong but many thais do what is easiest for them and do not give a stuff about anyone else, its the same on the roads, they just ignore the law when it suits them. I do know that the next time some idiot on a motor bike comes close to me on a foot path they will be "accidentily" knocked off their bike when I stretch my arms cause I didnt see them & that I am aware the law says that thewy shouldnt be there
  16. yes it was, I had to phone the bank and jump through hoops to get it done but eventually they accepted it so I am now able to transfer to the new Wise account they set up.
  17. of course he does, they are in each others pockets
  18. In Australia bottle shops operate from 8am to 10pm or hours in between 9 - 9 etc but there are also ones that do home deliveries at differing hours, Thailands 11 am opening and 2 pm to 5 pm closing before opening again is total BS
  19. I have a 45" chest and have a hard time finding shirts to fit, thai sizing makes me think that thai men like to think they are big when they are not. A 5xl is still tight across my chest in most cases, I look for sizing that has the actual measurements and then allow for the variance as they are always a few centimetres out, have most luck when there are sales etc in shopping centres as they try to get rid of larger sizes as most thais have smaller chests.
  20. wife said the same thing actually, we do have several cameras around the house inside the fence as well as on the house itself plus we have a few good dogs that would have no problem causing bodily harm if they got over the fence at our other house near the lake they would hold big parties till the early hours, music was that loud the windows would shake and the bass was set so high it would go through your body, unfortunately in Thailand there dont appear to up hold the laws as police are not inteeted and local govt officials take back handers. We are lucky that my wife did go higher than local govt I found out, they actually called her today and told her exactly what they would do and shutting them down is on top of their list,
  21. Update, wife went to speak to local authority and took all the pics, they have told the factory owneres theh have till the 17th of this month to start build a fence around the property and place filters to stop the smoke or they will be closed down. They have been promising both for over a year but never did it, apparently they are very wealthy and their family own a lot of land in our area.
  22. We have a bitumen/cement business about 100 metres away, they were good when we bought our land but now totallty disregard the laws, they work 7 days a week and on public holidays, noise levels are badlus now they are generating a heavy black cloud of smoke that has a very bad smell and drifts across our house as well as getting inside, This morning it was really bad and I currently have a heavy burning sensation in my chest and have trouble breathing, I did ride the qaud bike there and took pics then went to the office and told the girls they need to shut it down then took more pics from their veranda so they could watch me so it, I rode home and about 5 minutes later it was shut down, I would not be surprised if it is carcenogenic, currently considering going to a lawyer to see if anything legal can be done and if we can take them for the problems it is causing me, will add a pic to show what I am talking about. This smoke drifts over our land/house and when there is no wind it settles on us
  23. about to renew my extension in the next couple of weeks, 400,000 baht needs to be in your bank account at least 2 months prior to the application and needs to remain there for around another month during the consideration period, it can be removed as soon as you get your approval and new stamp. I have been doing this way for several years, I just remove the money for 9 months once my extension is approved and place it in a seperate account with the chance of excellent interest.
  24. Doesnt matter which side you are on, everyone has the right to vote the way they feel, a wife/husband doing this because they voted differently is really pushing sh*t uphill. All it does ia show how mentally deficient they are by demanding their partners vote the way they are told to, divorce is the only way to go with idiots like this, it shows just how pathetic they think.
  25. he knows he has the courts in his pocket so he can do as he pleases with no recourse, so much for not having anything to do with running the pheu thai, this shows who is the big boss of it and always will be, trouble is the courts are never going to find him guilty because he has them all taking his money
