  1. He is 78 and has spent the last 19 years in jail. He's lucky if the can get off the bed unassisted...
  2. As "Srisoonthon" was operated by THAI between 04OCT1965-31MAR1970, (reg: HS-TGH), you have the timeframe for the pic.
  3. Yes, they use it as 'foreigner' but not asians like chinese, lao or khmer aren't included... It is used as 'white westener' as somebody said, it is derived from the thai word of French... which were the original white westerners in this part of the world.
  4. "Why is it that we never hear about Thai women committing these kinds of heinous acts?" Maybe Thai women rarely get high on meth.
  5. To survive a head-on impact you need a 'soft' energy-absorbing vehicle. Frame-built vehicles are just too stiff in such collisions unless you hit a Honda Jazz. Airbags or seat belts does not help. It is not the speed that kills, it is the sudden stop. Even truer with frame built vehicles.
  6. That used to be true back in the 1950-60s. When the motoring magazines were full of consumer information like piston speeds etc. The down-sizing trend with smaller capacity turbo engines has now been around for 15 years. They're optimized for the work they're expected to do. I do not hear about any reliability issues.
  7. If drugs are involved, then that should render the punishment much higher.
  8. Every engine is optimized for a specific octane number fuel. So if 91 is good enough, then running with 95 will not give your any benefits. Running with cheaper 91 in an engine made for 95, will cause engine knocking/pinging, which in the end can damage your engine. But TS is actually not way off in his thinking. Generally speaking, an engine with higher compression ratio, requiring higher octane number fuel is actually more efficient, more powerful and will provide a better fuel economy compared to a lower compression ratio engine running on a lower octane number fuel.
  9. If you need to add a coffee cup of water every second month, then use whatever water you find, no problem. The problem is if you need to add every day, then the coolant fluid will eventually be 'watered down'. Should it become watered down to pure water, the damage is still long term, rather than short term...
