You're right he (the Swiss) should have traded her in long ago.

turns out I was right, not a big surprise since this is a classic scheme.

 

he will be much better of with someone his own age bracket, that is correct.

 

63 - 44 = do the math.

 

the wife seems to have lost her lover in the process.

I have to say I am pleased the guy has been locked up. I was half expecting some sad fine, accompanied by a wai and all over until next time.

temporarily locked up.
The wai is tomorrow, then case closed.

Motorcycle taxis and their organization is the exact same people as the police.

 

Hellbent on just getting Chinese.
Nothing else will do obviously,

Must be some brain decease.

The Honda Monkey Bike is back as a 125. It's also a bigger frame size than the original. About ฿85000.

Nice to see a Honda made monkey for change, and with USD forks also.

 

Lum is a word you hear all the time at the Issan Rocket festivals where it is used to mean parachute.

ตก-หลุม-รัก

so the "th r v ng"  part becomes suang instead of thruang

 

every language has it tricks, just a paint to learn them

 

Low spec USD forks on low spec bikes is just show.

I see your point.

But I think the quality of the normal forks are cheap also.

So in total, the USD will be a little bit better by design.

Looks like you could make it out of lego blocks! Very quirky design

 

Lego bionicle is the design template for all asian motocykes

 

 

What is so good or better about "upside down" forks ?

When the upside down fork seals fail does all the oil fall out all over the disc brake ?

Fail = leaks.

Result is the same in both cases.

Oil makes its way down to the disc.
Soaks into the pads that needs to be replaced.
Disc cleaned and pads replaced.

Upp side down forks.
Major benefit:
The thickest part (the outer tube) is at the point where the most stress is.
At the head where it attaches to the rest of the bike chassis.

So the flimsy part (inner tube) takes a substantial less load.

Giving you a much more rock solid chassis.

Given, of course that you don't make a crap fork in the first place.

But used correctly, paired with a good chassis in general will give great road handling capabilities.

Historic examples using USD and being rock solid :
Zxr-400, 1992
Zx-6r, 95
GSX1000R - 05 (earlier models not rock solid)
Models you can ride on the front wheel and they will not complain or break or missbehave.


example of a motocyke with flimsy front end that will wobble like hell if you break hard from high speed. (100km+)
Yamaha exciter 150cc
Also the disc is not quite up to it.

Decade of evolution.

Backward evolution.
Forks upside down.... from what they should have been.

Excuse my interjecting as I have not read the entire thread.... but as to the Kgai sound, I have always transliterated it as Kg - as it is neither a full K or G to my ear but sort of a hard G but I think of it as one sound that combines the two... KGAI = chicken.. 

 

ไก่

 

Gai.

 

Pronouncements depending on surrounding vowels..

 

Recommended "learning Thai from a white guy"

 

He has good explanations / rules for pronunciation, also very detailed descriptions on how to achieve correct sound.

Here's a new one for me "อากาศ" - "air pocket" or turbulence. From today's newspaper  คม-ชัด-ลึก :

"สายการบินรัสเซีย Aeroflot ระบุว่า มีผู้โดยสารหลายรายที่ได้รับบาดเจ็บจากเหตุการณ์ตกหลุมอากาศอย่างรุนแรง ก่อนถึงกรุงเทพราว 40 นาที ส่วนใหญ่ไม่คาดเข็มขัดนิรภัย"

 

The Russian airline "Aeroflot" announced today that most of the passengers who were injured as a result of the violent air pocket [or turbulence] encountered 40 minutes before reaching Bangkok were not wearing seat belts.

i looked closer into the 2 words.

หลุม  = (lum)  Cavity, ditch, pothole, hollow

อากาศ  = (agat)  weather , sky, gas, air (outside) climate

Jasmine the name?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmine_rice

 

Never noticed that they sell it by liter? ( ลิตร )

Worth checking next time at the market.

 

You can analyze the density at home to find out which is the best deal.

 

 

จั๊ว = intensely, glaringly (white

มะลิ​ jasmine

 

:-)

Can buy rice

 

Homm Mali, but here just says Mali

Homm means smell good btw

A variant called jaow

Meaning Jasmin rice (before boiled)

Kaow suaj (same but boiled ready to eat)

Puzzling as you would think they misspelled kaow (rice)

But it should be kaow tjaow Mali

(dry before boiled)

 

Can be bought by liter or kilo.

Kilo is obviously to complicated to spell out so just says LO โล

They will let you go home if you make it to the airport.

This could be good, but unlike the movie they could also spin this on forever.

 

What up with the Danish accent and giving one of the lead roles to the Danish prime minister from the series Borgen?

America don't have enough actors?

 

Maybe they wanted to avoid the "plastic" feeling.

I don't really care what the common transliteration system does. ก sounds no where near k and any book using K to symbolize ก is completely off-the chart retarded.

You can record a million thais, the only thais that are gonna pronounce ก anywhere close to K are those with a speech impediment unless its a final consonant

KH and K are the same sound to an english speaker, so these books are, once again, completely retardfed. Khite Kite same sound Gite Kite very different.

You can ask any thai you meet to write you down what ก sounds like and i would bet anything that almost every single thai will use the letter G

edit: theres a few exception in the language where go gai is pronounce as a K but those are exceptions ie: kathoey that should be grateuy

 

กะ-เทย

 

not a trace of R in ga-teuy

not in the spelling or the sound

 

many postings from you being plain confusing , off the chart

 

 

 

Police reports and medicals have never been a requirement when applying for extensions of stay based on retirement for at least the last 12 years anyway.

I vaguely remember them being needed in the distant past.

Is in Sweden.

Police report to be submitted for OA.

raider 150 claimed to be new

was this one out of the program for a while and now back ??

4 valve

6 gear

So she finally got someone to solve her problem.

The lady clearly had skills after all.

And what about theBurmian, Camboduan workers who are nuilding up Thailand?

Or Thais would like to work ?

This is mostly a law towards them.

But falangs always want to think the world spins around them.

It's all in your mind.

Nothing else.
