  1. Dictatorial indoctrination smothers education and common sense.
  2. First 6 minutes and 50 seconds of this moto-touring video cover Route 105 from Mae Sot to Mae Sariang. The rest of the video features waterfalls, lakes, caves, mountain tops and viewpoints etc. Have a safe trip. The Route: R105: Mae Ramat / Mae Sariang / Doi Puico - R108: Ban Na Hua Laem / Burma Border Crossing / Khun Yuam - R4009: Thung Bua Tong / Mae Surin Waterfall - Ban Meo Microwave - Pha Bong / Huay Pu Keng Longneck Village - Mae Hong Son - Sutong Pae Bridge - R4001: Pha Suea Waterfall / Pang Tong Palace / Pang Ung / Ban Rak Thai / Tambon Mok Cham Pae Burma Border - R1095: Pang Mapha / Tham Lot Cave / Pai Fah / Pai / Santichon Yunan Village - Pai WW2 Memorial Bridge - R1265
  3. As if Chiang Khong is 1000 miles away? How much cheaper does it have to be? Just go there, complete the run and end of the story.
  4. Not a big deal huh? But when farang and his gf tried to set up their own independent island in Phang Nga Bay you sent half a navy after them.
  5. I have been in all Thailand provinces, but people in Nakhon Si Thammarat are the worst. The only place in country where I actually didn't feel safe.
  6. He is not banking the sale proceeds. Money goes to a frozen UK bank account until the government has received further assurances that the money will solely go to support of humanitarian causes in Ukraine.
  7. And those Arab gangs recently complained about how the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad is a racist organization because of its name. PC minded yet terrorizing Anglo-Australian communities.
  8. So I was told. Samui waterfalls are some of the best in the country but access to many of them is perilous. Visited Khun Si waterfall where Czech tourist plunged to his death back in 2018. A bunch of western backpackers clearly ignored the warning not to go beyond the barrier featuring a photo of the victim and the written warning. Screengrab from my GoPro:
  9. Missing for 7 days with no food and clean drinking water. At her age and with Alzheimer’s disease, It is a miracle she survived.
  10. I was there yesterday. Observed group of tourists taking chances climbing this beautifull waterfall. On the way back I saw ambulance and rescue cars arriving via very steep road leading to waterfall. Was told there was an accident.
  11. The park with most ridiculous dual pricing; just to drive through sets you back THB 500.
  12. Didn't experience that at my resort. I have seen at least 2 ATM's and there were no power restrictions. October 2020.
  13. 555 there is 7-11. I love the island, even made a little video. Take a look:
  14. No, you can't, have to leave the car near the pier at the dedicated car park. There are cars on the island though but belong to local businesses.
  15. UPS, DHL, FEDEX....they all have in-house customs. Just received a car part by UPS sent from the UK and paid customs when the item was delivered to my door. When ordering from the USA, I ask the sender to ship goods by USPS priority international. Never paid a single cent of import duty. Most recently received motorcycle exhaust set worth THB 70,000, no customs charges.
  16. Looking for advice, who is the best in Phuket for this job? Personal experience, photos of job done? Thanks in advance.
  17. This must be a joke. I have seen 100 times better drone footages of Thailand, including Hua Hin. Obviously a slow news day. This is how to fly a drone: https://www.facebook.com/strikingfpv/videos/1545053215867785
