Cheap flights for one way and here was me thinking Thai airways has money problems ! ????????

Done enough hoop jumping all the years I have lived in Thailand so will be waiting until it doesn’t cost several times more than normal to fly there and I can get off a plane of my choice and go home !

I am trying to get back to see my wife and son but, as I only get 3 weeks holiday from my company here in UK, to have to spend 2 weeks in quarantine, in an hotel 150kms away and not see them, is totally impraticable. What is the point of having to produce a C19 free certificate valid 72 hours before flying if you have to quarantine anyway? Totally absurd.

Yeah the pre flight tests seem pretty pointless as most people that have Covid seem to only be showing positive near the end of quarantine.

I left in early June to go to uk and won’t be thinking of getting on a plane back until I can basically get on it and off it like it did leaving . Certainly won’t be paying for some insurance policy , overpriced fortnight in a hotel owned by the high up gangs mates , overpriced flights and tests that are pretty pointless before my flight !

OK here's one I found.

A slightly different question:

Did the Ferrari hit something else after the collision with the motorbike?

From the photo above, why does it look to me as if there's substantially more damage to the car than to the bike?

 

Probably where the bike turned sideways after being hit . These cars panels are usually very light built around a better than normal chassis so that the panels absorb any impact and crumple reducing impact on the main driver area . I though the policeman was dragged by the car ? but the windscreen has an impact area where a person has hit it by the look of it and quite a deep indent so it would need a high force to make it that deep I would think .

The panel questioned doctors about a drugs test taken by Vorayuth soon after the 2012 accident that indicated he had taken cocaine but was not included in the original case file. 

Yeah let’s just skip the fact he was off his head as it’s not important is it ! ????
Plus this is all a bit late as they decided he couldn’t be charged due to time expiring on the charges , so even if they bring new charges what would be the point as he’s not going to come to Thailand to face them ! They couldn’t even get him last time with an Interpol red notice so not a hope they would get him for new charges !

Possibly bought a load for renting out and now that market has tanked so maybe selling up. Or maybe they were all flood damaged and bought cheap and sorted out .

Where would all the Thais get money to go there as a lot of them don’t have jobs anymore !

If it’s as good as the actual driving test then what’s the point !

Ask the kid and the dog for the next lottery numbers ! ????????????

Which one has the best bar /nightclub in it ? ????

All the best ones will be sorted to go to the right places. The people they were meant for seemingly just send staff to buy these back and palms have been greased to make sure they get their cars back .

Going to say badly loaded and rolled . Did see a video this morning of people looking for survivors and of all the things it was on a ferry !! What’s the point of that ? Extremely slow and only benifit would be slight height advantage to look out, although all the people on it were sitting inside despite it not raining . I haven’t heard of any air search going on which would be obvious way to look but wife said they did find two people today alive on Koh tan .

I thought to enter you had to be tested several times within 72 hrs before flight leaves ? So they somehow managed to contract it in that short time before getting on the plane ? Sounds bit iffy to me !

Caused by ice crystals, also known 22^o Halo due to the angle of the radius made with the Sun. Can happen with the Moon too.

Yip seen both . The moon one was was very cool as it appeared gradually over a hour or so before forming a perfect ring and was at the same time as the northern lights .

Are you sure about that?

I looked after a husky team and if one required anaesthesia for surgery after fighting I had to put them outside in the snow to recover as would have suffered heat stroke inside.

 

Personally I don't think people should have huskies in warm environments.

Yes as the outer coat keeps the heat out and only reason I can think of for placing them outside would be to make breathing easier due to cold temperature . Although the surgery must have been baking hot for this to be the case.

Amazing on such a quiet road he ploughs into the only object on the road !

Woman is an idiot obviously ! Pays all that money for the dogs and then lets them just run around ! These are highly stolen and used for breeding in Thailand.

Secondly you never shave a huskies coat as it’s how it regulates its body heat !! 

Parents should have bought him a go kart track before that car it seems !

Probably listed as booked by the owners so when people ask about a room they can say fully booked apart from one room which is available at a higher than normal rate. People will think oh it’s full so we better take the room or we might not have a place to stay ! Then next person asks and is scammed the same way.

Caveat Emptor     From 2019

 

These importers removed some important devices to make engines malfunction and discourage others from joining the bidding, enabling them to buy back these vehicles at low prices, Mr Krisada said, adding that the department has taught them a lesson by destroying seized luxury cars that do not have key equipment.

 

Thailand's Customs Department holds an annual auction for vehicles seized in criminal cases, where most were confiscated for being illegally smuggled in the country or seized from gangs and drug lords.

Last Thursday’s auction however, revealed that 95 were pulled from the auction sheet as it turned out they were stolen from other countries and did not belong to the Thai state.

Deputy Customs Department spokesman Kreecha Kirdsriphan told AFP that the oversight was “an innocent mistake” and that as soon as it was discovered that the cars were stolen they were taken out of the auction list.

 

Fetching the highest price was a black 2006 Rolls-Royce Phantom, which started bidding at 6.8 million baht and sold for of 25 million baht. Second was the 17.1 million baht sale price of a brown 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo, which started at 11.8 million baht. A red 2002 Ferrrari 458 sold for 16.5 million baht, up from its 5.8-million-baht opening bid.

 

And every effort was made to return it to its owner ????

Probably a lot of high so peoples garages full of cars that were pulled from auction !
