Not uncommon, sadly. Customer service isn't really a thing in Thailand. They don't want you bothering them or touching their merchandise unless you are definitely going to buy.

How about not just targeting foreigners when masses of Thais are tearing around on noisy, illegal bikes with no licence and no insurance?

Everything that I have said is well established fact. If you had even a passing interest in the truth of the Israel/Palestine conflict, you would know this. Let's be honest, you know it's a fact, you just don't want it to be true/don't want people to know it.

That was my immediate thought. Unfortunately, the media (and AN users) care little about the truth.

You could also argue that Israel caused this by occupying Palestinian land, ethnically cleansing Palestinians, and forcing Palestinians that remained to live under apartheid conditions in their own territory. Two sides to every story... 🤷‍♂️

The point is, if someone cannot say that they disagree with something someone else has said without losing their job, then there is a problem. People seem to have decided that one group has the "right" opinion and anyone who disagrees or even questions them has the "wrong" opinion and needs to be "cancelled". That isn't someone simply facing the consequences of their actions. No wonder there has been such a huge backlash against wokeness. And long may it continue.

He doesn't care how they feel and he is lying about it not being a problem. Pretty simple.

Wait, you weren't joking about Columbia? They literally didn't do what Trump wanted, he threatened tariffs and they backed down. That was a total win. I can't believe someone can be so confidently wrong, having just posted something that proves the wrongness of the things they say! This is wild!

They aren't adding Columbia because that was cut and dry, they didn't do what he wanted, he threatened tariffs, and they immediately caved. They're trying to claim losses, so adding wins to the list wouldn't help them. The left always lies.

Couldn't agree more. The whole "Thai beauty standards" are bonkers. Dark hair and dark skin all the way!

"Please don't talk about what actually happened because I don't like it." While I understand why you would say this, I'm afraid it's not something people are going to go along with. 🤷‍♂️

If people are shooting each other on the streets, it isn't a family friendly place. I'm not sure how you don't understand that. And yes, Pattaya being "family friendly" is obviously a bogus claim. The night time economy and the lack of safety make that fairly obvious. Someone was just mowed down crossing the road the other day. People do take their families there, sure, but they no doubt know the risks and plan accordingly.

Of course they do. They want the whole area. Why do you think they let the attack happen in October 23 then immediately began spinning things with "Hamas is ISIS" and various lies, before going in to flatten the place?

If they dismantle Hamas and the international community rebuilds Gaza, how are the Israelis going to justify the apartheid moving forward? I don't think that Israel is going to allow any kind of permanent fix, unless it means the Palestinians are not allowed back.

A family friendly resort is not one where you cannot walk the streets at 3am due to possible violent incidents, even if one wouldn't take their family out at that time. If someone was staying with their family nearby, and were awoken by the sound of fighting and gunshots, would you explain to them, "Don't worry, it's outside and you don't take your family outside at 3am, this is a family friendly resort!"?

It seems like the Thai fertility rate falls as their attitude towards foreigners worsens. I wonder what the connection is... 🤔

5G towers!

Yes. Before it was a guy whose girlfriend ratted him out and he got locked up for a few days overstay. Do they perhaps feed the images into AI and let it write a story? Most strange!

That's a beautiful bike. Thanks for the input.

Just pointing out your lies. That is the only factual thing I see in this exchange.

I noticed that some riders have small yellow spotlights mounted to the front of their bikes, on some sort of frame or crash guard. They seem to make the bikes a lot more noticeable, even in the bright sunlight. Does anyone have any expert knowledge of these? Lazada seems to have some at 100 Baht all the way to several thousand Baht. How much wattage and how much money is best? Are they even legal?

I feel your pain. I normally see my arms in mirrors and have to lean over to get a good look. You can get the above, you can look for longer mirrors, and you can also get the thread adaptors but can opt for them to not adapt, which then just extends.

Lie after lie, as you do generally on the forum... 🙄

It was effectively what you were saying. Another wild claim from you. Dare I ask you to back it up with evidence???

Not sure what you're talking about. I'm afraid you'll have to add a little more to your fantasy if you want others to try to understand it.
