He was traveling too fast for the road conditions.
Why is it Thai people crawl around a U-turn like they are turtles, but drive too fast in the rain? ????
Don't be absurd.
Of course you don't leave the heat on all winter when you're gone.
That's insane.
You drain the water pipes before you leave.
Can't break water pipes if they're empty (or almost empty).
I leave my cabin in the mountains with no heat every winter. Gets down to -20F sometimes. The water pipes are drained, so no problem.
Anyone that keeps the heat on all winter is a moron. ????
Your roof is leaking. There's no way you should have mold inside a vacant house with a good roof.
Leg me guess, it's too expensive to fix your roof because you spend all your money on coming to Thailand every year? ????
How much do you know about the difference between fiction and fact? ????
From the author of the book you mentioned..
"This is a [fictional] novel, not an autobiography; though much in it is autobiographical, more is pure invention."
"Global economic jitters"?
Doesn't exist anymore than ghosts, The Holy Ghost, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Free Lunch, Checks in the mail and Just the Tip, Mamn.
It's imaginary. All in the head. Not real. Fake News. ????
We ate at the little Night Market in Kata Beach.
Didn't see any Russian owners there.
Your Thai wife should have directed you to more suitable Cheap Charlie food options. ????
I ate breakfast at a local place in Beijing for 24B.
A hotel room at a new hotel near the airport cost 750B.
Why on earth would Chinese come to Thailand? It's not like it's cheaper than China. ????
Don't care. No more tragic than a half million people in India <deleted>ting in open fields with no soap to wash their hands.
Going back to the subject...
Lots of Farangs make a long series of bad decisions in their lives.
That's what life is all about: choice.
Who am I to take away the EXPERIENCE of feeling the consequences of their lifetime of poor choices.
You can't fix stupid. ????
My understanding is African people lived in Thailand first, but they were probably all murdered by the invading Chinese who are racist as <deleted>. ????

So, you're admitting that you've spent 15 years watching how Thai people drive and you still are riding a motorcycle instead of driving a car, which is ten times safer. ????
That's the definition of crazy, doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. ✅
Pretty good Thai movie about a murder at a temple which contains quite a few topics Thai people don't like to acknowledge. ????

The 'Jerrys' actually build very good homes, my dad brought one just after the war, it is still standing strong with the original tiles.
In America Jerry means "German" and I don't think Germans built apartments in England, 555.
They did however knock quite a few down before America had to pull your bacon out of the fire. ????
My guess is this is happening because of racism in Sweden.
Swedish people are racist towards anyone who isn't Caucasian and blonde and their discrimination has prevented immigrants children from integrating into society, so they organise into little gangs to protect themselves.
"...immigrants and their children in Sweden are not regarded as full members of society like the rest of the population but as individuals expected to contribute economically and culturally to society. They are often politically and socially marginalised, resulting in discrimination in many aspects of society"
My wife's friend got a work visa to pick crops.
Still there. Got married. Had kids. Divorced. Became Australian citizen.
Still humble and working in the fields. Also makes money by getting other hardworking Thais to come to Australia to pick crops.
They're doing what Australians are too lazy to do (for the money they want to pay). I'm sure agriculture work is hard work, but Thais have done exactly that back in Thailand. Why not do the same thing in Australia and make more money doing it? ????
