  2. I think he should travel air cargo. Kilo for kilo the most cost effective.
  3. My Thai sister-in-law gets in the back of the car and buckles her seat belt knowing that I wont move unless she does. My wife (her sister) is already in the front passenger seat buckled up. Once moving. I watch my SIL in the rear view mirror as she surreptitiously unclips her seat belt thinking I wont notice. I pull in and park on the shoulder and say to my wife "Seat belt warning" pointing at the dashboard, (usually the parking brake warning light since there is no visual warning for rear seat)....and make a show of checking my wife's seat belt until hearing a 'click' from the rear seat. At which point I release the parking brake and carry on driving. 😏 In retaliation, if my wife is driving and the SIL is in the front passenger seat, she never wears her seat belt although my wife always wears hers. In contrast, a builder doing a job in our house asked for a lift. Climbed in the back seat, located the seat belt anchor and clipped up. I said (through my wife) "That is the first time ever that a Thai has got in my car and secured their seat belt without being told" He then told us that, a few months previously he had been driving his twin-cab pickup on a good road, with thick trees on both sides. The grade was slightly uphill, road dry with sunshine and approaching a blind sweeping bend to the right. Without warning, an SUV at speed came around the bend sliding into my man's lane and collided head on. He estimated the impact to be around 120 kph. His airbags blew, the windshield shattered he 'came to' pickup hard against the verge metal barrier. His first thought was for his wife but he could not see her as her seat back had folded forward. It transpired that their daughter with infant son on her lap (no seat belt) had been sitting behind her mother and had been thrown forward, by the impact, into the front passenger seat back breaking the locks and folding it flat. She then exited the vehicle through the windshield into the windshield of the SUV killed instantly along with infant. Lifting the back of his wife's seat he found her, a petite woman, jack-knifed into the footwell, bruised but otherwise uninjured. She had not been wearing her seatbelt. The driver of the SUV had also been un-belted and had been thrown through his windshield and killed. My builder said he learned that day that seat-belts can save lives and always wears one when in a vehicle and has taught his family members the value of 'buckling up'
  4. Perhaps the other hotel guests are living on the fruits of love. No need for breakfast.
  5. If Thailand was good for budget retirement I would send Rachel Reeves.
  6. Weeping woman - "What is the zig-zag line drawing you keep showing me?" Official - " It's the seismograph record of the tremor which collapsed the building your husband died in" Weeping woman - (screaming) "Are you out of your effin mind?"
  7. Exactly! If, by 'nylon' the author means synthetic fibre then it will almost certainly be machine made. I should expect the Chairman's office to carpeted in wool based imported from UK 🫠
  8. To thin out the soles of their new flip-flops making them more flexible?
  9. My sympathy lies with the US consumer buying goods from Kazakhstan. 🤣
  10. I can't make out the motif pattern on his boxers. Must be a Hong Kong triad secret identification......

  12. Another was asked "Why do you want to be a soldier?" He replied 'Because I want to be Uncle Tu's gardener"
  13. The boat would hold as many people as the Captain chose to take on. The maximum number permitted would be on the license........er......Does it have a marine license?😋
  14. The swine were using a sand timer. Sand purloined from Pattaya Beach no doubt.......😩
  15. Better make that a bucket of non-conducting fluid or he might only get to clean up the first one.😄
  16. Cabinets full of Forms ThB 1000 were removed for safe keeping.
  17. For me, any tremor over 5 on the Richter scale is measured on the Sphincter scale! ,
  18. The Force Majeure is a clause which usually appears in contracts and insurance policies but, if, as the expert explains it specifically includes earthquake damage and ItalThai signed up to that they are liable.
  19. They could give it to children and watch their little faces light up.🫠
  20. I think the Myanmar junta want money, meds, survival equipment, heavylift plant, generators etc but not foreigners with skills. Britain in pledging GBP10 million but what form will that take?
