Nope, the police don't care if you have a drivers licence or not. Hit and run got me 4 months back, at the police station 2 months later they only wanted to see my passport and valid VISA stamp. Still no sign of any court action, police appear to have lost interest.

Hit and run got me, I'm all broken!

..... Or bribe my wife, she was all up for court action, then mysteriously lost interest. Also the policeman handling the case died unexpectedly, just before handing the case over to the courts. -

I suspect he bribed the police to drop the case. I hope it cost him a lot! -

Just got the all clear from the doctor this morning. Last to heal was my collarbone, now fused if a bit lumpy. Says I don't need any more physiotherapy, arm doesn't have full movement but good enough. Still some pain in the shoulder, but probably no worse than any other old guys bones and joints. So total cost for 4 months medical care, 5 broken ribs, broken collarbone, collapsed lung, 3 days in hospital, countless X-rays, meds, 8x physio was just under 13kbht, paid for by government minimum m/c insurance.- 372 replies

Cheapest U.K. SIM card for OTP overseas
BritManToo replied to sometimewoodworker's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Giffgaff, they will post the free SIM anywhere in the world. You need to send 1 SMS every 6 months to keep it active. 10 pounds credit lasts years. -
Love Chinese food in the UK. Don't like Chinese food in China or Thailand. Love Indian food in UK, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand.

And I've got a good enough 3 bedroom house for 10kbht/month just outside CM. My healthcare costs for a 'hit and run' (broken collarbone, 5 broken ribs, collapsed lung, hospital stay, 8x physio) are around 10kbht paid by government minimum insurance. No waiting lists at all, though sometimes it takes as long as 4hrs to see a doctor, and physio once made me wait 15 minutes.

Back in my home town, once the pubs went 'no smoking', they put smoking sheds in the pub gardens and we all smoked cannabis every evening. Rich people all snorted cocaine ............... Even my London company works parties had cannabis and cocaine provided along with the free food and drinks. Don't know what local poop hole you lived in, but it sure wasn't London or New York!

I ate Norfloxacin 400 ......... 1/2 tab every morning and evening until the 10 tabs were used. Then the next month same repeat. Worked for me, but there may be some risks involved.

Food delivery route for delivery rider?
BritManToo replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in General Topics
DHL yesterday, no official ride, came on his scooter with a kid he just picked up from school on the back. Delivery drivers are all over the place! -
Dunno, my local government hospital is filled with the latest equipment. Portable X ray machines so you don't need to leave your bed. Physio straps electric pads all over my damaged shoulder. Never seen anywhere in the world with more modern equipment.

New Honda Click 125 - how many keys should I get?
BritManToo replied to Alldar's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Honda manual unlocking, Press and hold the on/seat/lock knob until it bleeps, get your fob number ready ..... press knob once and beep, then enter the number by pressing the knob that many times (0 = no presses), after 10s the bike beeps and you enter the next number. keep going and the bike is unlocked with the locking disabled until you press an hold for another 10s. Takes about 2 minutes in all, you can't hurry it up, around 10s between each number (9 numbers x 10 seconds). -

BritManToo replied to Alldar's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Nope, Honda add fobs to the box in the bike electronically, but the number on the fob is useful as you can use it to unlock the bike without the fob. -

Modern eye tests don't use the chart ....... it's peer through an eyepiece and watch the tractor moving across the screen. Results on a printout from the computer.
