  1. Not true, government minimum insurance pays out no matter what, assuming you purchased it.
  2. That's because America is the 'good guys' so the media don't show it. You've not quite got the hang of propaganda yet! Only 'bad guys' are shown doing bad things.
  3. Their next bogus excuse is not carrying the 'green book'. But they have been known to use no wing mirrors, rear footpegs down, the list goes on ....... You're supposed to sneak them 100bht first chance you get, then they wave you on.
  4. Hard to tell what's right or wrong when you're only shown one side. And the governments encouraging that one side have an agenda. If you think Russia is in the wrong, go and join up on the Ukraine side. Posting here isn't gonna help anyone. Me, I don't care, let them kill each other, I couldn't tell a Russian from a Ukrainian and wouldn't talk to either.
  5. No driving licence, 200-400bh fine. Just think of it as a foreigner tax for driving in Thailand. If you'd had a d/l he would have just made up another offense.
  6. The COVID restrictions have destroyed the western economy, they desperately need 'bad guys' to point the finger of blame towards, in order to distract the proletariat. Russia or China are equally good in the role of 'bad guys'. Expect several years of hate from the media.
  7. Age of consent of girlfriends/lovers is 15 in Thailand. 16 in the UK, not that much different IMHO.
  8. Milk is price controlled at max 91.75bht/2litre bottle. It can't have gone up!
  9. Chicken curry from my local market stall went up from 30bht to 35bht last weekend. That's a 17% rise.
  10. I've not watched one report. The answer is to not watch western anti-Russian, anti-Chinese propaganda. Was it any different when America was invading Arab countries? Did we all feel the need to boycott America?
  11. I keep hoping mine will run off, but sadly she's still here.
  12. Why would you care what she does after you've finished?
  13. But who wants a mid 40's woman? ...... Not me and I'm 66.
  14. My Thai cycling pal, age 64, retired schoolteacher, has a 24yo girlfriend (younger than his daughter). My woman's best pal, age 43, has a Thai boyfriend, builder age 66. Italian guy down the road, age 58, has a Thai wife age 58. As far as I can see your post is complete nonsense. Or maybe you don't know any Thais?
  15. We don't really use water heating except for the kettle. Cold showers are good for you.
  16. With E20, 91 and 95 within 0.2bht of each other (all 39.xx) ...... might as well use 95! Just filled up my m/c with 95 this morning.
  17. I'm about the same level of aches and pains now (age 66) as was when I was 40. Essentially, a little joint pain in my knuckles from riding a m/c when I was young in the cold UK.
  18. I see social unrest everywhere ..............
  19. As for Agoda and Booking.com ..... I've uninstalled the apps from my phone as it doesn't appear I will be able to leave Thailand then re-enter in the near future without buying needless expensive insurance I don't want.
  20. What woman ever does that?
  21. Now the smog has been washed out of the air, I'm getting a lot more, even though the sky isn't blue (midday today).
  22. Allegedly put us on the moon. Although to my mind NASA is now keeping humanity out of space.
  23. I've never had any of your problems. Although I don't like the sweet Asian Pizza so I make my own, it's not hard and costs a fraction of the price. And the alcohol is really cheap. Guess it's not a suitable country for faddy western eaters. Although saying that, Durian Riders Vegan cycling community seem to do OK there. So maybe it's just you.
  24. Was 16c in Chiang Mai this morning after nearly 24hrs of torrential rain. Dry and overcast now ........ brrrrrrrrrr
