I could care less about anyone's religious beliefs but ancient ruins, archeological sites and historical structures and such should not be used for climbing and taking stupid photos. The phrase we used as kids comes to mind "look with your eyes not with your hands". 

I agree with this; I understand what everybody says about Thai buddhism, but at least respect old stones and respect people for whom these statues represent something

I know many people disagree, but they give their opinion, I give mine

 If France didn't want those immigrants then they could have voted for Marine Le Pen, but they didn't.

Immigration is not the only thing to consider when choosing a president, and Le Pen showed she is stupid and unable to run a country

economics are also an other side to consider and her program was totally nut and irrealist

her defeat was the best thing to happen

"100% Alsace and Bourgogne"? That's funny I was born 14km from Mulhouse, (65 years ago) and never was given a chance to feel truly French. And to be frank with you, I don't even want to image what "French for historical reasons" could mean. But I am quite happy that the what's left French of me belongs to a rainbow nation thats has been able to avoid the pitfalls of neo-nazism, unlike some of our neighbours.

You are free to have your opinion, I don't change mine for you; if you don't understand " French for historical reasons ", I am sorry for you, but it's not the subject of the post

I just read from news in French that the " French " people come from the surburb of Paris and that they  are known by the police for drug traffic ; you know, these people who don't work, have much money and come and  spend their money in Pataya or Pukhet; Thai police must be used to these sort of people

they will be judged in Thailand because the girl  ( broken nose but not raped ) has complained with the police

No need, white french have already the worst reputation all over the world as expats and tourists.  Just type worst tourists in the world and you will be well served.

BTW, your white "real" french have been arrested recently for killing and that's not first time.  

You are right , some real French are bad , too,  like every other people in the world ; as for me, I am a good guy, and Thai people like me

I am a scooter driver and I have noticed several times ( not every time ) that there are people coming ( often other scooters ) from the left, who turn not even looking if somebody is coming from the main road

as for me, I always look if somebody is coming from the left when I am on the main road

this accident was avoidable, even the 10 years boy could have swerved it if he looked on the left

French passport but not French named

Bad for France to read this and that everybody read only "French" =bad

True ! I am French (100 %  Alsace and Bourgogne ), for me these people are not French, as you say they are French for historical reasons ; its always a shame to see that these " dark skin people " make a bad reputation in Thailand for French people

by the names, I think there is a mix of North Africa and Black Africa

Now, it works, and before, months ago, I have noticed the same thing ; it works when the GPS battery is completely empty

as long as there is the gps message " low battery " ( sorry, in my gps , the message is " batterie faible " so I translated "battery feeble") , the adapter doesn't work, the gps lights a few seconds and stops, totally useless

what to do, when there is the message , is completely empty the gps battery, but I don't know how to do it, because otherwise it can last several long minutes or hours and in this case, the gps is useless; of course, when riding, I can't wait that the gps accepts to work

It should work check the powerpack (because that is what it is) with a phone to see if it charges your phone. If it does then you know for sure that the powerpack (battery) works.

 

Then we can go on looking at the problems.

It works with the phone, and with my old Gps, it says " incompatible ", it  means it's not broken

Xtream Wearther Batterie

sortie: DC 5.5V- 700mA maxi

 

Garmin nüvi 57/58/67/68

Power input (vehicle or external power)  |  from 8 to 28 vdc

 

 

OK, that doesn't make any sense beyond having the ability to charge, very slowly.

Back home ( not riding the bike ) it works, but this morning , didn't work  ( the gps said " battery feeble ") ; now it doesn't say anything because it's working with the xtream wearther batterie, but I don't know next time what happens ; it seems the contact is difficult between the two items ; what do you mean by " very slowly ", I don't understand what you said above

thanks 

Hello, I have a Garmin 57 gps and very satisfied about it; it's made to be used with a car, but I use it to ride with my scooter, but after about 1h30 mn, battery is empty; I want to use an external battery pack to connect with my gps

I have this one https://www.amazon.fr/Xtream-Wearther-Batterie-Easy-Power/dp/B001J6FYGO 

http://www.soeasyrider.fr/batteries-externes/so-easy-power/?sl=en

they say it lasts 15 hours

but when I connect it to the gps , it doesn't work, battery still works with the gps ; do I make something wrong or is it a bad external pack ?

do you know an other pack or do you have an other alternative ?

Thanks  I have also an old Garmin, it works too, but after one hour, finished

I have Edge

Hello, 

I have for about 6-7 years now , an Hp 2050 inkjet ; it works well, and I don't  use it much, only for administrative forms ( tm30, letters  etc )

I shall need one day new cartridges, I know the system of cartridges on the side of the printer, but my computer shop tells me they can't do it because the printer is too old ( ? ) 

on Lazada, HP original cartridges are pretty expensive, but I have seen they sell " Printo cartridges", from China , which suit my printer and are cheaper 

is Printo good brand ? Other wise, I forget to ask my computer shop how much is the system aside the printer ; you know how much ? 

Maybe better to buy a new printer and ask for the system cartridges on the side ; I am satisfied of my printer , I use it a few times a year, I don't know what to do , maybe buy the original HP ink 

what is your suggestion ? thanks

Kaek also has the meaning of "customer" and is used a lot that way.

 

 

There is a book ( Chan keu Eri ( excuse for phonetic, I am not English ) written by a Thai prostitute; when in Japan, Hong kong etc , she used all the time this word to speak of her customers ( kaek ) 

It works with Internet explorer ( windows 10 ) 

I have also a problem with  scbeasy https://www.scbeasy.com/v1.4/site/presignon/index_en.asp

I have not the same message as above, but a tab  written " SCBMaintenancePage", and this tab doesn't open ( with Chrome ) 

With edge, there is a page opens but impossible to click anywhere, nothing happens

I think it comes from SCB 

No worry, I am myself not tall ( Thai size ) 

It's seems to be a small bike; how is it for a passenger ( i.e my girlfriend, she is a small Thai woman, not fat, about 55 kgs , 156 cms ) ?

Hello. 

today, I went to the Honda shop in Prachinburi, and they told met that the price is 95000 bahts, do you think it's a good price ?

I thought the normal price was about 82000 bahts ! 

are there Honda PCX somewhere else for sale cheaper  ? Sri ratcha, Pattaya ? 

thanks 

PS: I just read that the Aerox 155cc  Yamaha is better and cheaper ; you think so ? 

I despise people who think they are at home ; 5000 bahts is not enough; they should also be condemned to erase their horror ; excuses are not enough
