    The problem was when they first came out nobody knew what they were.I went to change some money but the bank accepted my drivers licence but not my pink card. Now I find it useful wherever ID is required .

    Go home yanks. If there were no US soldiers interfering in Syria and Iraq then they could not be attacked.They are an unwanted pox on the earth.

    That's one good thing the tsunami did was to clean up the beach. The safe swimming area on Kho Phi Phi was getting smaller and smaller each year. They are back again now but it was good for a while need another tsunami.

    Trucks are way underpowered there is a hill near where i live about 5% max. Those sugar trucks crawl up at about 5mph holding up the rest of the traffic.Not too much weight just not enough power.

    A president exists because there is a constitution.He is not a king ,so he must follow the rules because because his authority comes from the rules.

    I thought fireworks factories were made up of a series of small buildings rather than one large one to keep down the number of casualties in the event of an accident.

    Honda batteries will be hard to duplicate with any after market product.Just check out the weight you will see why.

    Was swimming along and saw a big red bastard in front of me. I tried to dive under it but got caught on the back. It felt like someone got me with a whip complete with red lines. It stung for an hour or two then went away.

    You don't have to smoke it if you don't like it.

    Just taking advantage of the market that opened up when 7/11 stopped carrying Benson & Hedges.

    I use the cardless withdrawal using the phone app. The only problem is it will only work in one of your own bank's ATM's ,still it beats fiddling with a card.

    The bigger vehicles like 18 wheelers have slack adjusters on the brakes. You have to crawl under and tighten them up as the pads wear out.Looks like they are too lazy to do this.

    If he gets tangled up with a bar girl ,no amount of money will be enough.

    The carbon offset idea is nuts.Either it's legal to pollute or it's not and you shouldn't be able to buy your way out.. I never raped anyone so maybe I could sell rape credits ,when the buyer has enough he could go do the deed with impunity.

    Just came back to Udon Thani after a trip to Sakon Nakhon and Nakon Phanom. There are definitely very few stray dogs to be seen there compared to Udon Thani. Maybe they were all sleeping in the shade or maybe that plastic bucket guy came out of retirement or never retired.

    Since it's imaginary it can be anything you want. Nobody has come back to say differently.

    You need look both ways before entering a one way street also if you are at the front of the line when the light turns green you definitely need to look both ways and watch for motor cycles coming through on the inside. Remember these and you will most probably be OK driving in Thailand.

    In Phuket airport I noticed all the Russians get their luggage wrapped with many layers of plastic wrap. I see a message there for anyone travelling to Russia.

    Private jets to private islands , hundreds of pounds for massages. I find it hard to believe those girls would not expect to be called on to share some skin. Easy money at the time hanging out with the rich and famous was enough at the time. Now they are older and see the potential they are out for a bigger payday.

    All the wars including the civil war the US are involved in are about money. To get the public to accept them they have to appear to have a righteous cause. Usually bringing democracy to people that did not ask for it,In the case of the civil war it was freeing the slaves. The proof of this is in the treatment of freed slaves. The US is very good at getting poor men to fight for the rich man's money, goes right back to the war of independence.

    Buses in Thailand are way under powered, so when they get up to a decent speed they don't want to slow down. The drivers are frustrated when they have to crawl up hills the should be able to cruise up. I think this definitely a case where more power would be safer.

    Hotels and car rental outfits usually take a few hundred dollars on top of their fee.. If you don't steal the bedsheets or damage the car you get it back in a day or two. However I used a prepaid card once and that took thirty days to refund.

    What happened to UBON JOE he would know the answer?

    Another dangerous place is waterfalls during the dry season as all the rocks around are worn smooth by the water. I slipped at one of these places popped a big toe nail. I bent it back and taped it and it was doing fine till I got bit on the toe by some kind of large ant. Made my toe swell up and popped the nail again. No fixing it second time.

    I look at the massive flow of traffic, six lanes above and six lanes below plus two lanes each side and wonder where all the electricity would come from if each one had to be plugged in every night. Somebody has not thought this through as most of Thailand's power comes from burning fossil fuel in the form of LNG.
