  1. Just be aware that the motorcycle option sometimes takes you down some iffy, tight roads. I often leave mine on car setting and just set avoid motorways and tolls. Whist this does not negate the overoasses, most are well signposted as are the tunnels.
  2. Most are blue signage. However, Google. Maps has an option to avoid toll roads and motorways and also to set your vehicle to a motorcycle which adapts for suitable roads (but can take you down some strange sois).
  3. OK. That is my point so I do not know why your arguing. My actual point was the bike rider should have insurance. My further point was if they falsely showed they did then the ride should pay
  4. If you are going to quote me then please read what I wrote. I said if their was no accident then the NHS would not be required.
  5. I said some of the blame.. I know it is too simplistic but if you cannot ride a bike because you have no licence or insurance, then you should not be rising the bike
  6. Really, you are helping my argument as in that scenario, who is to blame? And.. I actually said insurance is required.
  7. Why should the person causing a situation not be blamed. I agree they should be helped but that is an ideal world and Thailand does not have that system.
  8. That is a myth. I have personally experienced a Thai having to pay for my bike to be repaired, whilst my insurance covered my hospital bill.
  9. OK. But no licence no car. No car no accident. No accident no nhs
  10. Accountability. If the rider offers an invalid licence and the bike rental company accepts it and copies it for proof at a later date, then the onus should be on the rider for circumventing the rule. They would have known it not to be a valid licence. Conversely, if no licence is taken then the company should take some of the blame.
  11. This may be true but if you rent a car in the UK it come with compulsory basic insurance so you do not have a choice. You can then upgrade it to cover other things such as the vehicle.
  12. Generally, you can only pass it down to one generation if they were born outside the UK. So if your child was born in Thailand for example, they can get it from you but they cannot pass it on. HOWEVER, there are exceptions so it may be different for some people. https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship-british-parent#:~:text=British citizenship is normally automatically,re born outside the UK.
  13. Was going to make the same gag until I saw almond is not a nut ????
  14. Whoah there horsey.. I am not blaming him, I'm just saying IF you know you have issues with guns, why go to a gun fight? I don't like heights so I would guess I would have a panic attack skydiving, I may not but there is a higher chance than someone without that issue.
  15. Whilst I agree the comment was probably not worded greatly, surely he would have at least been conscious of his triggers and could/should have avoided the place.
  16. Does this mean those working at international schools with a UK Med AND QTS in the UK and US do not need a Thai teaching licence?
  17. Can anyone recommend a company to teach Thai to a pair of English speaking beginners? We would prefer Zoom (online) as we work mon-fri. If not online, any onsite recommendations in the Bang Kapi area of BKK? We DO NOT need an ed-visa so would like to actually learn whilst not needing to pay for a visa. Thanks.
