  1. I wonder if the price difference is due to companies moving in more working families? Or young professional Thais?
  2. Head on 8 kn. So the forks bend but did they fail before the head tube sustained damage? Did the bearings indent the races? Any chipped paint on the welds? What is a shunt from a rear" tray"? Do you mean the truck backs into the head tube and not the tire or fork struts? Seeing how creative Thai pe5are at fixing things so they "work" and knowing low cost, doing the minimum is standard I would want to see them do the repair and personally inspect the bearings and other parts while it is apart.
  3. What about those pesky guys selling fake watches. They can really pester you. They are so obvious on soi Cowboy. They must pay off police. No work permit I bet.
  4. Sad. Must be desperate to do such a thing. How are these drugs and guns getting past the boarding security and making it to Thailand?
  5. Hitting a car with your front tire is can be a head on or any angle of glancing. Looks to my like turned left wheel impact to me. 2 ways to think of this. Or 3. Buy new, if fork seal won't see any nicks or damaged finish then straighten, or just straighten it and worry about seal leaks later. Of course is it bent without any visible fracture lines? I can straighten an aluminum arrow and make it fly well again but it will bend easier than a new arrow.
  6. Does it smell like <deleted> or rancid grease? I'm other words, the vulture test. Could be a sewer issue. So are all 4 letter words for excrement deleted?
  7. But if they don't ask questions like how often did you travel in 2019? The % on those answers are not to meaningful. It seems like overall less than 50% of Chinese have ever crossed a border besides Hong Kong.
  8. What is a high quality tourist? Doesn't it depend on which rich investment the ones in power are invested in. Lots of retail space for rent or sale in Asoke. Another reason to smack the fingers of the Chinese in the cookie jar.
  9. 170?? Haha got my mind imaging 100+70 woman and yuk. Won't that be weird when they figure out how to stop aging.
  10. Good play if your giungvto want lots of Federal money,pork, to help you build EV station network. Better power grid fed funded,and all those rich landowner speculators are going to develop WY.
  11. Please more people bash away. However I lost all faith in Thai voters when they voted in the new constitution. I'm thinking many can't read, and lots don't have time or desire to read about the politicians. I think it's more who the village headman tells them to vote for.
  12. I was surprised to learn there are laws in Thailand against owning over 100 cards or something. And they need to be registered.
  13. As if the rest will ever be caught. Hope he gets a deserving punishment which will make others abandon their operation and or not start.
  14. Perhaps she gets carsick and this is the only way she can travel? On a 12 hour flight back from Thailand this couple across from me must have taken some drigs and they were out for 10 hours. Heads bobbing misses meals but made for a restful short trip for them while I was suffering as I rarely can sleep on a plane. That loud turbine whine bothers me.
  15. Seems confusing. You have a 1 hour layover between 2 domestic flights? Sounds doable. Where is the visa flight in all this?
  16. He was amazing as have been many stars. Prince, Michael Jackson, Cobain, Selena. Fame and fortune and greedy handlers must be hard. No privacy ever. Funny you condemned drugs but brag about you using the alcohol drug? Think about that. I sometimes think they must make a deal with the devil for their game like that movie?
  17. Rip. That one guy was lucky and stepped off the flying deck.
  18. At the gate 1-7 Don Mueang and there are no Chinese clumps. People are spread out in the seating area. I was trying to imagine how this gallery would respond if a large group (6+) of Chinese came to find a seat? Singles or couples probably not much scrutiny. I think groups would cause a stir. How big I wonder?
  19. At the airport on a side trip. Sad that borders and birthplaces can have such an impact on LOVE.
  20. So wouldn't this apply to westerners too. Buying business in wife's name?
  21. About face masks. It tends to highlight peoples forehead and eyes. A couple looked so beautiful until they lowered their mask. You can't believe how dirty the outside of my mask can get in 1 day walking in BKK. Especially a month ago when the air was so bad. Wearing them is for sure a good idea. 95% are wearing them on the BTS.
  22. Headed to Siem Reap today. I hope we avoid the Chinese on this 3 day excursion. It seems like most tourists we have seen we guess are from Japan and Korea.
  23. Seems like the m16 could have slaughtered that table before they could do anything. So was the sleeping cop on shift? This will be interesting.
  24. That is from my footprints in the cement collection. Sometimes they see you and smile for the picture. Or pose. are there alligators in Bangkok. Or a 5' monitor lizard ?
