"My Doctor took one look and gave me one injection and a course of tablets for a few days and just said it will be OK. "

If it is indeed viral, not much a shot can do unless it was to treat the symptoms. Glad you're ok. :) TO be honest, just treating the symptoms is pretty darned nice sometimes lol.

Stay safe and healthy out there. Tis the season.....

Because white is not a colour.

Technically white is the sum of all colors, so yes it is a color.  

where black is the absence of light.

so you had to perfectly backward.

Not at all.

 

Both 150 cc

Both CVT

OK Yamaha 4v and Vespa 3v, but both more than PCX. Maybe the extra valve is for marketing? 3 might be enough?

Will only be used for urban, no multi-lane riding.

 

I'm going to "build" OK assemble a geezer Q-Bike, albiet slow in motorbike terms.

Just going to work 10-15 mins and shopping/eating in the evenings. So maybe lighting should be factored in? 

I was reacting to the English. ?  "Not sure" and "indecisive" has nearly same meaning. ? 

Wait, this is a real thread?

Going from the title, I thought it was a gag ?

Many years ago, I was asked by a large Thailand university to help teach school teachers the Western way of learning. I traveled to many provinces for these talks and met tons of elementary and high school teachers. On one trip a driver picked me up in a homemade car and drove from Bangkok to Udon by the back roads. I heard later that he was the president of the university.

 

My lesson was simple. Build a paper airplane using any design that will fly the farthest. The class was divided into small groups and work began.  After the first contest one aspect always stood out. All of these adult students had built the same style of airplane and they all flew about the same distance. When asked why they did not try to build something new, their response was always about the same, ’we only know one way to do it.’

 

They were then sent back to their groups to try and build a paper airplane different from what their original teacher had shown them.  Some of the new designs crashed while others flew a good distance.

 

In reality, I did not care how far their paper airplane flew. I was just trying to get my students to think for themselves. Tough.

I teach an electronics class. In the recent pbl type of assignment, the goal was to make an inverter ckt using discrete transistors. They had verbal instructions, several models  and they have been taught how to do assembly. In the finished products, I could see vastly different steps and methodologies used.  So individual creativities cand be fostered. They just need to be forced out of their comfort zones.(to be fair many of the students copied the model exactly, including mistakes from the previous students if there were any.... :/. Not ideal, but the work of the creative ones were very encouraging :).  )

My favorite one I prefer to see from behind. No fake smile or I love you 2 match needed. 

 

Hmm I need to get out more often :p

300k is roughly $9k,  less than the cost of a used car.  Thats not a lot for someone from an affluent family.  I predict troubles ahead.  Over and under is 6 months for that 300k :D 

Having said that, I hope the dude makes it.  and for the family, yeah, i think most of us knows someone in our own family that's a little like this. :/  but they are family, what can you do?    *shrug*

Following.

This would really be useful information.

Looks like i'm hitting the beach on Monday and back by Thurs  lol

I did a search for "Funeral" Not Holiday :D  

Looks like TV had it covered all along :D

Thanks Scott! :D

The True shop in Emquartier has English speaking staff for sure.

 

3rd floor I think.

Third floor,  Got it.

La Monita is on my list of places to try, so I marked it on my google map.    Thanks dude.

I dont want to be inappropriate on the wrong day.

Can someone point me to a Calendar of important days during the month of October?

Or list the days and its significance?

And what services (government type lol) will be and will not be available?

Thanks.

Buying a mobile phone and getting a prepaid card is cheaper, so maybe you should take this into consideration. Then you also don't need any english speaking staff

thats the plan I have now Jack.  thought i'd try getting a postpaid kind.  A new adventure and get a phone at a discount :D.  Thanks for the reply Jack.

Theres one as you get off the BTS at Siam. You need to exit on the side that is heading towards Mo Chit. Not sure of the exit number but its signed outside on a big signpost. Downstairs is the True Move café, you need the second floor if I remember rightly. Been there twice and good English with 3 different people.

Thanks!  Yep I saw that location on google maps and wondered how the service was.  I'll take a look tomorrow and let you know how it goes :)

Please provide GPS location and hours the pretties are there, ..... I mean the hours the shop is open 

Time for a new mobile.  My first visit to a truemove shop was less than productive. 

Anyone have a recommendation for an truemove store

that supports english speaking customers well in the bkk area?

over and under for the "arrest" story related to this Club?

Note to self,

ask the next girl if she knows mauy thai before dating.

A two foot chain ? This is horrendous.

Probably only for the Photo sessions. 

That 2foot chain is the only think that saved that brit!

But agree, still horrendous.

I heard some scuttlebutt regarding new penalties for missing ones 90 day reporting dates.

Can anyone add some light?

Open the link. 

My mistake.  Let me correct.

"sarcasm on"  I'm confused, the title and article seems to be disjointed. "sarcasm off".

I dont think they were even trying to do a Yahoo style bait and switch.  I believe the writers didn't even check to see if the article title and summary were coherent and consistent.

   If the driver would have kept driving and then fell asleep and crashed with injuries and possible fatalities to the passengers and the driver stopped the crash from happening, the passengers would have been grateful .

   If I was on a bus and the driver was falling asleep, I would be extremely grateful for him to stop and kick me off the bus

You weren't on the bus :)  I've noticed that people are all high and mighty, until they are in the situation.  Not you of course.  others. :)

I'm confused.  The title and article body are disjointed.

Reprint please :D

I'd be interested to know if the passengers on the bus considers the driver a hero.

Agree on relief drivers leeneeds. At least on the VIP buses.  I'd pay that, and would consider using buses again.

Happy Holidays everyone! :)
