just relocated

most likely relocated to "somewhere else"    in this case it seems to be a "Sattahip animal shelter"

Chadatip Chutrakul, chief executive officer of Siam Piwat, and a director of Iconsiam, said she and other entrepreneurs have always believed in the future of the Thai economy which has been on an upward trend over the past four to five years. The current government has solved many problems and it has also created many mega-infrastructure projects to liven the economy.

I think I can predict who "Chadatip" will be voting for in a possibly forthcoming election.

It is an offense to drive without a shirt ... if you are not convinced ...try it. It's also very much frowned on to walk around your village without a shirt ...

Yes this goes back to the "its illegal go out in public with out underwear" law.

johng,,,,, And where did you ever see Thais eating cockroaches ? Methinks you exaggerate
 

if Gasohol here in Thailand would mess up my carengine if it was left idle for longer periods like a month or more.

Quote

The voltage will taper down and maintain at a steady 13.2-13.4 volts, which is the maximum voltage a 12 volt battery can hold. The current will also decrease to a point where it's considered a trickle. That's where the term "trickle charger" comes from. It's essentially the float stage where there is charge going into the battery at all times, but only at a safe rate to ensure a full state of charge and nothing more. Most smart chargers do not turn off at this point, yet it is completely safe to leave a battery in float mode for months to even years at a time.

 

It's the healthiest thing for a battery to be at 100% state of charge.

Thai's don't want to kill animals

Strange then that all the Tesco, Big C, Family mart,7-11,Macro,Tops etc etc  all sell meat..maybe its not really meat..but "Quorn"

Also there are regular organised cock fights all over the country and I believe still some organised dog fighting  the loser of the fight if not killed fighting is often killed by the "owner" (and eaten ?)

Rats are poisoned  except if they are field rats in which case they are  killed and eaten !

even cockroaches are not spared from the menu ????

not to mention the  millions of mosquitoes and flies squatted daily.

They do stop cars...but not if the checkpoint has been set up to stop motorbikes and vise versa

I think the bikes are easier pickings as the riders are less likely to be "connected big wigs" or "Hi-sos" and lots of tourists without the correct licence.

I reckon "impact" doesn't include silly items like

sewage ?  the toilets are nice but where does it all go ???

I left my car at a petrol station for 2 months, while I was away the 2004 Tsunami happened

when I got back to Thailand the car had gone !!!

but only because the petrol station owner had towed it round the back out of the way,

he said he thought it must have belonged to a Tsunami victim...the battery was flat and it was covered in grime...he washed the car ,gave me a jump start  and charged 500 baht for "storage"  !!!????

Maybe some "lucky lottery" numbers can be found on the tree bark ???

Probably has quite a "vermin" problem too.. cockroaches,rats and dogs.

Yep dump that poop on your neighbours doorstep.

There where a couple actually in the Wat Yarn hospital !!!!

Here is my 11 year licence..except its not    they (seem to) count from the issue of first 5 year license  so next time I'll be getting a 16 year licence ??
