  1. Easy mistake to make Why just yesterday at the cretieow stall my noodle soup 40 baht had 2 million accidentally misplaced under the moo deng. I complained vociferously and they gave me a free bottle of water to make amends...oh and put the 2 million baht in a plastic bag securely fastened with an elastic band to take home. Still trying to get it undone...how do they get it so tight?! 😡
  2. The hard landing is deliberate to ensure the aircraft stays on the tarmac and not bounce up again due to severe winds. I'd say it was the skill of the pilot following his training rather than luck. Friend is a BA captain who when confronted with strong winds on landing refers to banging it down to make sure it stays down.
  3. Can't afford 4 wheels, maybe, but could well have afforded decent crash helmets? Not saying it would have guaranteed survival in this case , but the relevance is that so many Thais don't bother with any helmet where statistics say that so many more would be alive today by that relatively cheap expedient.
  4. They've got little remorse over their continued failures to reduce the far greater fatalities from Thai drunk driving ,so why here?
  5. And this Russian driver differs from so very many Thai drivers in this respect how exactly?
  6. You need to do more understanding. It's not tasting blood that does it,it's when a tiger, usually an injured one who can't catch it's normal prey discovers what easy prey a human is and thereafter targets them . Not a cub who scared defends itself by biting.
  7. The only stupidity is not understanding that he can have no feelings or know what's happening. He's DEAD! DOH!
  8. It is also an expensive pointless exercise bringing back a lifeless lump of flesh and bone simply to dispose of. Disposal here with a memorial service in his home town achieves the same thing - they won't even see a body anyway. It could be anything in the coffin
  9. Sounds like you need to do some proper reading before embarrassing yourself so comprehensively 🙄
  10. A good illustration of the crude underpinnings of a pick up. Ladder chassis ,solid axle and leaf springs . That’s why the ride is inferior to a car with proper IRS. 😉
  11. I think Pita wanted to modify the defamation laws due its misuse in silencing inconvenient opinions. But of course that got manipulatedand exaggerated into an untrue representation of his aims. But we know the real story behind that of course..
  12. There's 2 types of guest, one that is enjoying your free hospitality and another who is a paying guest and on whose patronage you rely for your living. The latter certainly has a right to complain and if that complaint is met with arrest and criminal prosecution then the host is doing his very best to ensure he no longer receives patronage from many paying guests to the detriment of his living. Unfair or dishonest reviews should be dealt with outside of criminal prosecution which inevitably leads to very poor publicity causing far more damage than the criticism. But then you'd have to have a brain to realise that...
  13. Are you unaware of the problems a decent education would cause for those responsible for arranging it....?
  14. PAYING guests,and if enough of them decide not to be guests and pay what then for Thai tourism?
  15. Well yes, I did track days on many of the UK circuits . Silverstone was my nearest. Not a cheap hobby and at 11.7mpg in my M3 £100+ in fuel alone was just part of the cost! Didn't see any Muscle cars amongst some of the more expensive participants. McLaren, Ferrari along with pure track cars and hot hatches made for an interesting mix! Live aboard dive boats and Skiing in top resorts also expensive...but worth it to me. Understand exactly what you're saying. 👍
  16. What's the ATM limit per withdrawal. Generally relatively low making the 220 baht ( plus whatever your cardholder charges) a much higher %age charge than Wise.
  17. The best description I heard of American V8 muscle cars is ” How to turn money into noise” 😆
  18. We already know it's Blackpool!
  19. I bet you stole that beer ?!
  20. It is really. This is just a diversionary tactic!
  21. But he's not in those countries is he? Which is rather the point. Countries have different laws on many things ,so simply observe them when there
  22. DCC is an option the retailer offers you to be charged in your home currency at a worse rate than the card issuer charges. Simply ALWAYS say no! Charge me in baht.
  23. That's my favourite chat up line. Followed by " Does this cloth smell of chloroform to you?”....
  24. The video is so grovellingly over the top it’s almost ironic. Quite clever if that was his intention (but I don’t know) and that subtlety would certainly elude the authorities . As another has mentioned the oxygen of publicity has done more damage than his original postings ever did ,again a concept foreign to those same authorities.
