No!

The confrontation occurs with the possibility of you being sarcastic or rude about something that is irritating, yes, but not important enough for you then to title that suggests ALL Thais maybe don't understand sarcasm (your perception of how your comment was received) or you overreacting in a way they might have been understood by them to be confrontational. You had no control over the person pushing in but you had the chance to be in control of yourself because in real life these small incidents achieve nothing except you venting your feelings. I readily agree that momentarily one may be angry, but I am not interested in seeking the risk of further trouble.

Better to avoid confrontation and creating a scene!

Where you are the only candidate?

Same as his followers

True, but do they know him?

The first reason for wearing a helmet is not because of the law. it is the responsibility of the rider to protect against the possibility of a serious accident involving his head!!

And while he is doing that perhaps you can tell us about your name that suggests both a male and female name side by side!

Why is there confusion in this case as we understand it from the report? I think all Accident Insurance policies have an exclusion re motor cycles if not wearing a crash helmet. And I think this is justified! The man had a broken arm and some others cuts that as it happens, wearing a helmet or not had no connection in minimising those injuries! Coming from the UK he would know for sure that he wouldn't last five minutes there if not with a helmet before he was stopped! But this situation occurs with many foreigners regarding helmets - when in Thailand do as the Thais do!!

I have been drinking plain water of the same kind for fifteen years and doesn't need filtering of any kind My wife and I consume through direct drinking as well as cooking and making ice for drinks In total, we get through 100 litres per month between us that costs us B180, that is delivered to our door. The taste is non-descript as I think it should be and proves to be entirely adequate for our hydration needs. Yes, of course, we make coffee and tea every day as well. I use tap water for shaving, washing hands and teeth brushing.

AmbiEnce as it is known. But I am surprised you found it at 2am in Pattaya Shouldn't you be tucked up even safer in bed?

I sympathise! But over 50 for you still hasn't yet arrived at me at 79. Can still do everything I could do when I was 25 - just slower!

Yes, I see that here. But that page didn't come up to me - in fact I never did see that page. If that page did come up to me I have no post to write!! That is what you are missing!

Most of what you said is irrelevant. What you like and what I like is obviously different. It is only your opinion that something is boring and not a fact. In any event, My OP is what actually happened and therefore is an account that has nothing do with your particular findings. The only lesson you need to learn from my first post is that an original return fare Chiang Mai To Krabi was B18,000 and I eventually found one at B10,000 which is NOT expensive!

Another bigoted post suffering under the burden of his own failed relationships.
