I get free medical insurance because my wife has a decent job. AIA is all I can read on the card the rest is in Thai I double checked to make sure it wasn't AXA

We have Life we don't need at this point as well.

I have an unbrella policy that protects me from civil lawsuits for most everything but drunk driving.

"free medical insurance"

vague much?

1 million baht, 1 million us?

repatriation?

how farkin stupid would you need to be?

i mean, really, how farkin stupid?

You carn't afford to go home, you have nothing to go home for in fact you now regard Thailand as your home.

A couple of possibilities are working in The Timeshare industry or some Bangkok boiler room.

Any other possibilities.

so, you reckon boiler room jobs are available at the drop of a hat for any vague waster out there?

maybe 10 years ago, i suspect it isn't that easy anymore, folks i knew from that era are either minted, dead, or gone

avoid posting on thaivisa

agreed, it is a perfectly reasonable amount of walking around money after the expenses are covered.

and from my roof in thailand

Sunrise form same

singapore from the roof deck

and again

identity issues

do something independent rent a villa or small house (depends on budget) on koh phangan near chaloklum or thong nai pan.

i personally could not care less. though i will be cremated.

After that, up to you.

i dont see the issue

"And a lot of nice resturants have some dude giving you a back massage and offering you soap and what not ....... It's not the bathrooms ...... it's the places you go."

Yeah I love it when I am just trying to to a pee and some gay guy rubs me up wanting money. You seem to find it appealing. That's ok, It is what makes the world go round.

so do these guys come out and tell you they are gay or is that just your own phobia talking?

In regards to the video, I have seen this. In regards to giving a bike for a spin to someone its got to be someone you trust. Not just some random guy from a coffee shop. Really would you?

Went to the bike shop in town today got chain oiled the guy checked the tightness at first wanted to adjust but then decided not to after both of us pressed bike down to see how will it fair on the bumps. THen the guy just drove off on my bike without saying anything for 10 mins, which got me quite pissed off. Ok he didnt charge anything for the job but still.

In regards to getting experience on a bike maintenance, Iam working on that, I watch videos, ask around read books. All of us have to learn something new in the life at some point. Without any proper tools though it is hard, I know how to adjust chain but the tools supplied with bike though they fit, its impossible to undo bolts with such a short handle. As I mentioned before right now Iam totally out of cash after buying a bike, thus the reason I cannot go to chiang mai BW. Before anyone notes I should have budgeted better, I have a 6 months old baby so things tend to happen with kids you dont expect to, like stays in the hospitals.

Already made a list of things to check for them (not sure how 1 person barely speaks English there). I try not to be paranoid but after spending cash on this you expect things to be smooth in the first couple of months. But everyday some new stuff happens, some new sound comes out. And mind you Iam not talking about shabby build quality of the bike, plastic panels under windshield that joint together just split on every single bump, a petrol tank cap that does not seems to fit the tank properly, side plastic panels under the bike that I have to push together after a ride cuz that 1 bolt doesnt seem to hold them in place no matter how tight I tighten it up and of course right panel bolt that seems to have to grip at all and turns indefinitely.

Will put some pics over tomorrow after work. But dont worry I will make sure they do a good job on it next week.

sounds like you might have been better off renting, next time perhaps a ducati might be more to your liking.

Bike and car 2 different licenses.

If you showed your international permit for a car it does not automatically translate into bike license.

wearing a helmet is no brainer really, so is driving drunk.

not sure what you mean by the good old days are over?, all the regulations have been in place for decades and always have been randomly enforced.

And what's the name of your high horse?

Trigger

sushi

i geet peak speeds of around 50mbps in Bkk on my true docsis, averages are close to 30-35 though

I am an amateur in these things. Wifi extender I understand extends the reach, that is not my question.

I´m wondering if a 8 MBps download router makes sense, assuming BBB delivers its promised 13.MBps speed??

Megabytes per second and mega bits per second are NOT the same thing,

this was hand held at about 4 seconds, so not perfect

I wonder how they felt about the sperm bank robbery ad?

555555 both are extremely funny the one from the sperm bank I can see over and over again. funny facts of life that's all.

OK i'm a newbie here so i'll use one of my newbie silver bullets to ask a stupid question.

what is the reference to the "5's" and "sperm bank robbery ad"?

Thanks in advance for your reply and patience

I am with you I have no idea what 555555 means either. I think it is sort alien code for hello or some private freemason talk.

anyone with the most rudimentary knowledge of thai (the ability to count to 5) understandsa the 555 = ha ha ha = laughter

i think it is very funny.

shes pretty hot to boot

You mean "HE" not my cup of tea. I prefer women.

indeed, i do too, but there is no denying that the person in the ad is attractive, and in my estimation anyone who has gone to that much trouble to look like a woman has earned the right to be called she.

What intrigues me however is that you felt the need to both "correct" my use of pronoun and to assert your preference.
