Sunthorn complained his passenger had fled the scene without even bothering to pay the fare.

The taxi had a poorly fitted LPG conversion and dodgy electrical work and his car caught on fire.

I know what I would do if I was the passenger – run for the hills.

This will be my second year with same insurance company  and still get the discount, depends on the insurance company.

Can I ask who your insurer is, I feel my agent may not be telling the truth.

Also no Demister strips on Windscreen.

 

Keep the funny stuff coming. LOL

I have a rear facing camera. actually the car has two cams, 1front 1 rear ????

I wonder if they'd give a discount, if a cam is stuck behind this film?   the resultant loss of all definition renders any cam useless

 

you'd have to really vet which photos you present to the insurer

 

 

 

the other downfall having a cam, inside a window, is the glare reflections caused at night from the IR LEDs light bouncing back into the lens; from the glass (and especially the demister strips if your window has them:

The insurance company asked for images of the dashcam from the  inside and outside also showing  the car tags.

 

Sorry VYCM just noticed your post .

No, good input, I forgot to mention they want the Licence plate in the photo.

Thanks.

Last year I received the 5% discount. I had to take photos of the camera outside the car and inside with camera working.

This year when I renewed the policy I was told the 5% discount was for the first year only.

I got my tax here yesterday. Very convenient.

I bet it was quiet there, I’m sure all the shoppers were at Terminal 21.

Has anyone a better deal on PCX, seems 90k is the going price. 

Checkraka have them listed for 82k.

I live rawai phuket.... ive just come home after watching a rugby game at a bar on the beach front... every few minutes a bike screams past with a modified exhaust with mostly underage kids riding the bikes.... what would it take to have a policeman pulling these young unlicensed kids over and addressing the problem?? noise, no license, no insurance, underage +++++++++  They seem to concentrate on issues far less significant than what ive just mentioned.... many will say "thats just the way it is".... yes i understand that having been coming here since 1976.... but nothing is changing!!

Yes exactly what i mentioned earlier.

"I am more annoyed with the scooters, the small Ninjas and the mSlaz that have been modified."

Over the years when on the Sukhumvit around the time in the afternoon when school day ends these young kids are riding their scooters back home from school, as you say  "noise, no license, no insurance, underage, 2 or 3 passengers, no helmets" the police turn the other way, I am pulled over also the mother next to me with her baby on board.

This non-policing, surely sends the wrong signals, kids learn easily that they Rule on the roads if not challenged.

Big Problem here.

well they can start on all those harleys with screaming eagle pipes,  especially in Pattaya, a guy (not even in my condo) i can here him start up. leave , return, its not even a sweet noise, just a bloody racket

You’ll find they are not fitted with screaming eagle pipes or any other high performance pipe, what I have noticed they have a blown exhaust manifold gasket, this creates the awful racket.

BSE. But still, people, humans, homo sapiens can not get sick with BSE.

BSE causes a spongiform degeneration of the brain and spinal cord.

It's a shame more Thai's were not at this event, its been running for 11 years now.

I comment on statements that I read that are not true.

 

BTW, you were first to start with the English lessons - "do not call a bicycle a car do you"

 

I tried to block you, but it seems not to be possible anymore. Please let stop this endless discussion.

 

Arjen.

I’m at a loss as to why you would want to Block me.

You are obviously educated by the posts you write, therefore you are familiar with communicating in a professional way.

Keeping connected, collaborating and being interactive are qualities of good communication skills.

It's hardly a uniquely Thai issue, the same thing happens in the Philippines during holidays, only they bring tents which they abandon as well. 

 

 

Indonesia is the same

This phenomenon is called “Lack of Education”

As I read this thread I can see the women down from my apartment pouring greasy, oily gunk down a drain in the street from her food cart - what a moron.

Unfortunately this happens 1,000’s of times a day in Thailand.

There are some signs that Creutzfeld-Jacob is caused by eating meat from contaminated beef with BSE, and then you also need to eat spine or brain. Incubation time is very, very long!

 

People can not get sick with BSE! You also do not call a bicycle a car do you?

I think that most of the rubbish washed up on beaches comes from boats at sea, and not necessarily all Thai vessels.

Yes, also nearby drains, street runoff.

People can not get sick with BSE. There is human variety of BSE, Creutzfeld-Jacob called. There are some signs that eating beef with BSE can cause Creatzfeld-Jacob in people. Incubation time can be up-to 20 years. So very difficult to proof this.'

 

But it is proven humans can not get sick with BSE.

Worst of all, there's no cure for vCJD and people usually die within 13 months of showing symptoms. Furthermore, it can take up to 15 years for symptoms to manifest themselves. Mad Cow disease was first discovered in Great Britain in 1986
