^ You mean that being physically assaulted and beaten by someone twice/trice the size of you, and being constantly reminded of such, can cause psychological issues in children?

I find this theory hard to believe.

^ white?

CM to CR a long trip?

Wrong forum, you should have posted it in the Women's subforum.

^ Another person envious (to the point of anger).

That must suck.

I think I'm going to post up my own list as fact.

1) Contact lense cleaner.

2) kills bacteria on vegetable. Spray on your salad before eating.

3) Proven aphrodisiac. Use as deodourant before going out.

If it's on the net it has to be true.

Avoiding getting scammed should be less than avoiding being carted off to immigration/jail cells until all is paid in full.

When is your (90/60/30/15 day?)permission of stay up? If you haven't got your passport back by then and the police know all about it I'd start worrying.

You do wonder if they all pray to Buddha before the flight, hoping to not get caught.

I know I would.

And Allah, Jesus, Steve Jobs and the Tooth Fairy.

Just in case.

About to test that factsheet with the strings on an old acoustic guitar.

Most people with slow laptops usually just need to clean out and tweak their system.

Start out by typing 'How to speed up *name of operating system?*' in to google.

Then streamline it by getting rid of the programs you don't need and learn about basic maintainence and care..

^ Seems some Thais don't like a farang with a more expensive and nicer bike than them.

first who parks his motorcycle like this on Phahon Yothin road like this,

Not me. I was parked behind two cars that were wider than my parked bike. There is no signage to signify that parking on the road is prohibited. Parking on the footpath is an offense.

without having a licenses plate on his shiny motorcycle that is asking for police attention...

Who are you talking about? I've had a license plate on my bike for almost 2 years.

Parking on the footpath is a citeable offense.

Of course it is. As mostly you should not confuse "tolerated" and "allowed".

The MPB is planning to strictly crack down against motorists for 13 other offences: racing on public roads; excessive speed, unsafe overtaking, drunk driving, travelling the wrong way up, not wearing a crash helmet, double parking, no licence plates, excessive toxic fumes, illegal parking, parking on a footpath, driving along a footpath, and taxi drivers refusing to accept passengers. Traffic offenders will receive a warning ticket for a first-time offence and if they repeat the offence, they will be fined at the maximum rate.

Sounds very good. But as we know, TiT and nothing will happen

Actually, a lot has happened.

ie, the ban on police road checks during the day.

Quite a significant move.

Which no doubt has had a knock on effect of tickets for offences that were previously left go, in order to keep up revenue.

You also see police riding the wrong way down a street with no helmet on, perhaps with their child sitting on the gas tank on the way to school.

I wouldn't take what the Thai Police do as a yardstick for what is legal and not.

I don't get it, how is the footpath full? There is enough room for 30 bikes there between the trees.

I love the high blood-pressered holier than thou posters.

Jai yen yen nong, jai yen yen.

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

^^ What a beautiful bike you have there Brian.

Hopefully the CBR500 will look just like it!

^ True. Perhaps I'll stop by and ask him about his stolen CB400 while I'm there.

I doubt I could be bothered throwing it in the bin. It's folded up and put in a drawer where it will no doubt stay until we move house.

Surely there's some sort of incentive for people to pay their parking tickets though...

Coz the men are going around in bras and make-up?

I've seen a few around, and they invariably have drop dead gorgeous girlfriends. What "magic" do they have to achieve this?

They can speak Thai.

They're not a Thai man.

Stopped off in the post office this morning. Footpath area was full, so parked on the road.

There was two cars in front of me, starting at the green electrical box.

Came out and there was a Copper writing his ticket.

He said it was for not parking parrallel to the curb, after I pointed out that there's no 'no parking' signs or red and white curb.

A real nasty gangster type with his plate-less CB400 (no doubt 'impounded').

Didn't ask for my license or anything, just gave me the ticket and went off. Very strange. Never had a ticket given to me without some sort of collateral.

I couldn't care less for a few hundred baht, but what is likely to happen if I forget to pay it. I vaguely remember that all tickets that have been registered into the computer system up when you want to renew your annual tax, or when you go to change owners at the DoLT, or something like that. I mean there must be some incentive to make people pay their parking fines, it's not like the coppers can hang around until they return to the vehicle and then take their license.

So what's the story with Parking Tickets?

Three weeks ago kawasaki big bikes has a guage intergrated in their air hose.

Asia eh!

What did the Kawasaki trained big bike specilists do before that? kick the tyre to see how much their rubber flip flop rebounded?

They're probably tired of dealing with impatient, ignorant and rude Westerners.
