PEA have recently installed my new meters to all the houses in my soi.

These meters have lots of information displayed, 1 is voltage.

What thermal properties does your house have?

It must be unbearable in the hot season

Even when the pickup was in clear view of the bike, the bike didn't seem to make any attempt to slow down or avoid the collision. Probably doing a bit of texting.

Incompetence.

The guy froze, best he retires the bike and buys a car.

I have fibre from the node into my room no copper involved currently on 300/100

Please, take a photo of the fibre patch point in your Condo.

I have 3bb fibre in my condo

I assume that is fibre to the node. 

So you would have copper to your Condo.

Life in jail would be a better punishment.

Yeah, let's feed and clothe him, give him a roof over his head and allow him visitors for the rest of his life.

Maybe those of you that have been jail could add.

What other lerks and perks could we offer this animal?

I have to agree with your comment, sadly though, because I cringe at the number of farangs, and many of them old enough to know much better, who ride around here (I'm not in Pattaya, but in Patong) just as you describe.

 

I would say that the number of farangs like this, especially wearing no helmet, would easily eclipse the number of Thais who don't wear a helmet.

 

And as regards another comment about age, well I'm 72 now and consider my driving skills to be good, having driven for 55 years without any accidents caused by me, so although age can be a factor, there are just as many younger people driving much more dangerously/recklessly, and some who look as if they have a death wish.

Ride on dude, it's all about management. I do see reckless youth and as I said previously, incompetence causes most accidents. 

Hope I can do the same at that age.

I like our Australian allies, but people that ride around on loud motorcycles with an Outlaw patch

What is with people coming to Thailand and wearing a Outlaw patch...... 

Do these people never grow up?

What is the foreigner doing there?

Judging by his beer gut I would say he followed them back from the Lion Pub......

Seems to be a lot of elderly guys here riding on these roads.

I've been riding motorbikes since the age of 10 years old. I joined a motorbike club at 12 years, I spent most weekends for several years learning riding skills.

These Thai roads are not a place for the elderly to learn how to ride. I'm sure there are many of you elderly guys that have the ability to ride and I say to you ride on and stay safe.

The point I'm making is for those who do not have the ability and those who are so stubborn and childish to think they do.
It's not just riding, I see all sorts of childish behaviour from mature aged guys here, so it doesn't surprise me to see the incompetent aged riding scooters here.
I see often and make comment to ride safely to those I see that are struggling with the scooter they are riding.

At the end of the day, Rossi, Stoner MotoGP riders in their 70's would hesitate to ride these dangerous roads.

There are many worse ways to die. And one of them is wasting ones life in an arm chair in front a TV thinking 'I'm too old to do that'. Sorry pal, you're trying to lecture the wrong person.

I'm hearing you mate, but fair play. Incompetent riders cause most accidents. 

It's BLACK AND WHITE, if you're not experienced and elderly stay off Thai roads.

A younger person can get away with not having the skills, but as you age your judgement weakens. If you're in an accident your chances of serious injury increases. 

I know I've touched a nerve, but you elderly guys do your family and the community a favour, get a car

Yes I been looking at this myself ,as although 3bb have given the upgrades my speed pretty much remains the same around 30 to 50 meg download ,I am also still on the old original router they supplied,,,,looking at this router I think it costs 400 bht to get it.......maybe that’s 3bb marketing plan give free speed upgrades on the basis of selling loads of new routers????????????????????.

will have to try resetting my router and doing speed test on laptop tonight.

It looks like the price is 2200 baht 

I'm still using the original fibre router installed by 3BB, Chinese made I think, brand fiberhome. 

I would like to install a new model, what have you guys fitted,is this one offered by 3BB any good?

I've been sort of half-looking at houses around Pattaya (wife wants, I don't). 

I don't understand how people can live here and not have a house.

I too have a condo in Pattaya that four years ago would have commanded 50k baht a month rental, nowadays I cannot even rent it for 30k baht

I work offshore and it was around 4 years ago the industry stalled. I reckon offshore workers had a huge impact on the Pattaya economy.

 

The property slow down should filter out the dodgy real estate agents.

millions of baht for renovation of a house never lived in sounds suspect

The foreign owner died shortly after purchasing.

1. No Will

2. Thailand property

and many more issues.

It only recently came on the market after a lengthy court case.
