  1. Remember, the safe level IS NOT 37.5 but 15µg/m³ (according to the WHO), unless the pollution's components are less lethal in Thailand...
  2. I did enjoy Car Racing... I attended the Winfield School in Magny-Cours (France) and did some races in Formula Renault and then Formula 3 championships... BUT NOT on the public roads...
  3. Why paying over the odds and getting average results? I use a german razor: Merkur 42C (THB1,200) https://merkur-razors.com with a japanese blade: Feather (THB8.00 per blade) Simple, easy to maintain, cheap & very good results
  4. If you want to deal, in comfort, with bumps, drains, potholes etc. choose this kind of bike: Honda TH CRF300L from THB156.000 https://www.thaihonda.co.th/honda/motorcycle/onoff/newcrf300l-2024
  5. Have a look @ this website : https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/ It'll tell you a lot about helmets.
  6. 18-year-old PC… I guess it’s time for a change. I’d advise to buy an external HDD and back up your existing files, then buy a new PC (desktop, laptop) and load back your files. Easy-peasy and cost effective
  7. Our son, now 15, studied @ private IEP from kindergarten. That plus studying French @ Alliance Francaise. Result: he speaks fluently 3 languages (English, French, Thai). BTW, it didn’t harm that we speak these languages at home!
  8. +1 I use this PLC (Powerline Communication) technology to link the main TV to the master router (mesh network) where a large HDD is connected. It works perfectly.
  9. I had the sticker stolen from my scooter while at McDo (Petkasem Rd, Bangkok, day time). I had to go the local police station and then to the DLT Now, I keep the sticker with my papers
  10. Did you try Siam Paragon ?
  11. Are you serious? 1. Usually you don't wear sunglasses at night... 2. This sunvisor can be up or down...
  12. You don't need to wear sunglasses while riding if you wear the right helmet... There are lots of helmets with sun visors (modular or full face). I use a Caberg modular, a five-star helmet according to https://sharp.dft.gov.uk/
  13. For the same price (THB100K) as Nmax / PCX you can get a 300cc scooter: GPX DZ3. GPX DZ3 For THB45K more, you can get a Zontes 350cc (more powerful and much cheaper than a Forza, Xmax etc.) Zontes 350D BTW, the Zontes 368 series were released, with an interesting 368G... Zontes 368G
  14. Where did you study Law, if ever?
  15. Do you know there's a museum in Bangkok called Anti Corruption Museum? May I propose that the Thaksin's family get the burned bus set up at the front of the building?
  16. It's quite easy for a foreigner to get credit cards in Thailand. There are 3 scenarios: 1. You don't have a work permit and you don't have money in the bank : no credit card. 2. You don't have a work permit but you get some money in the bank : you can apply for a "secured credit card". 3. You have a work permit : you can apply for a credit card Years ago, I was in the scenario # 2 and I got a secured credit card. When I decided to be based in Thailand (with a TH work permit), I applied for a credit card and got it! PS: When I was based, as a foreigner, in Czech Republic, Ireland, Kenya, UK, the rules were quite similar: you have a job then you can apply for and get a credit card
  17. I switch the TV on > Select the source : Ext HDD > Go to folders > Click on the film I want to watch That's it !
  18. I use another simple "network design" Our LG TV is connected to the wifi router through a couple of powerline adaptors Powerline Technology A large WD hard disk, with all the media files (films, TV programs, etc.), is connected to the Wifi router (USB connection).
  19. Shayman, I can share with you a bit of our background: Eighteen months before the end of his junior high school curriculum, our son started to go to a tutorial school (5 hours every Sunday, focused on Maths and Science). Then, in March 2024, he took 2 entrance exams: Triam Udom Suksa School and Satit Prasarnmit Demonstration School. He got both and chose to join Triam Udom Suksa School Science & Maths. The tutorial school he went to : https://www.oplus-school.com/ Can I say this TS was good? I think so, it did fit the purpose. I invite you to contact / visit them.
  20. Did you understand what I wrote? I don't think so... Did you have a look @ the stats? I don't think so...
  21. Speed is not the main factor for road accidents, far of... Or, how could you explain that Germany has much less road fatalities per million of inhabitants than France (for example), knowing that in Germany many autobahns have no speed limits under normal conditions? I used to drive my Porsche 911 a lot in Europe and specially in Germany... EU Road Safety Statistics
  22. Not all certified helmets are born equal... Sharp DFT UK
  23. Nothing better than boiled eggs with homemade mayonnaise!
  24. Did you consider changing the plastic panels? They are quite cheap. I checked online for my Nmax and the cost for the whole lot of white panels was around THB4,500 Bikerzbits Plastic Parts for Aerox It's, usually, cheaper @ your Yamaha dealer.
  25. There are jobs in Thailand... If you've skills. I was based in Shenzhen (PRC) working for a huge MNC in the Hi-Tech sector and decided to be based in Thailand. I managed to find a great opportunity in Bangkok through LinkedIn. My employer pays what I'd get in western Europe.
