I took my prescription to an optical shop in Pnomh Penh last  month and bought new frames (made in Japan) and new lenses (made in Singapore) for 600 TB

Also bought a pair with "Photochromic" lenses that darken in bright sunlight for 1100 TB.

Am very happy.

Do you remember the shop name in Pnom penh ? or location ? Thanks.

The HP f770 you choose your own time loop, i set it at 3 minutes and it starts recording again every 3 minutes without deleting previous recordings until the memory is full then it deletes the oldest recording

Makes it easy to check any previous section of your recordings without having to watch for up to a hour

 

Any dashcam, even the cheapest ones, allow to select your own time loop...

When I meet foreigners who think that it's ok to drive home after drinking 1 bottle of red wine, because home is not far, I think that Thai must be far away to any change.

How can someone be stupid enough to think that it's ok to drive after 1 bottle of wine or just few beers ?

These fatasses (because of course people who cannot go anywhere without their car never walk and never exercise) deserve to die !

Why did they search her car?

The rats where just wanted to make problem, because after checking urine that was negative, they started to lose face.

Buy the way, are they still testing pee on the road side all around Esan, just like they also do at Pattaya ?

How much is the "fee" for THC in your system ?

Depends on the rats mood ?

Funny that people always want to hide this small dashcam cable when they are just driving ugly Japanese boxes...

Buy a decent car, German or Italian, and you will see that having a dashcam cable is not a big problem :-)

Why would you want it to record for hours after engine stopped? My dashcam is nearly 3 years old and the backup battery is till working fine.

Because I am not an idiot ? Car records 24 hours.

Having visited most of the main islands I’d say Samui was the worst in most respects, the Andaman sea is far nicer than the Gulf but Phuket which used to be great is spoilt by overdevelopment,leaving Lanta the best option although some might find it a bit limited in terms of facilities and night life. For beaches,swimming and snorkeling probably the best.

Yes, Lanta is great for someone who likes to find as ugly beaches at Koh chang.

My dashcam (cheapie) keeps recording for 10 seconds after engine is turned off. In fact, I think most do.

Yes ! Sure ! 10 seconds is a lot and for sure enough !

Mine never stop recording even hours after the engine is stopped !

And your dashcam maybe still records if it still has battery or working capacitor... let's bet...

Hello,

Have you noticed that since the tax increases we find more and more fruit wines cheaper than before ? Makro and Lotus have some for 199 thb !

One more evidence that in this world of cheaters wine sellersalso are some of them !

I am wondering if there is any REAL wine for less than 500 thb / bottle in Thailand ? Any idea ?

Thanks.

Yes and while I don't recall the exact situation  my previous dashcam did not support an SD card that would allow for more than 6 minutes recording.   The model I have now accepts a 64 GB  SD  card.

 

I'm just saying in the confusion of the moment during an accident, I'd want a dashcam that would continue recording for a longer period of time so that in the event I forgot about it initially I'd still have captured the information of the accident.

 

I'd suggest to the OP he take that factor in consideration when he makes his decision of which dashcam to buy.

 

In case of accident your dashcam will stop when engine will stop.

But some smart people connect the dashcan to a powerbank, then it never stops until disconnected. It also records when parks. Funny that few people are able to understand this.

I went back to the original article - I see no reference to being negative for drugs.  It does indicate that 'she' appears to be drunk.  'She'  definitely did resist arrest, if she had not she would have not been in a scuffle.  I have seen reference to her throwing herself at the walls -- which based on her behaviour when arrested is not that much of a stretch.... I have seen many people who were a little mentally unhinged from hard drugs do that sort of thing.

 

Resisting arrest is never an appropriate way to handle things.  

Read Thai and you will understand that she was negative and got bored that rats keep making problem when she had done nothing wrong !

Not sure if the Thai in this article says so but the big issue that kicked this into a scene (i.e. her pushing back) is that the police seized her car and said they are confiscating it because she had the e-cigarette in her car.  Part of her talking back is asking if they'd take her house too if they found an e-cigarette in it.

 

The Thai commentary on this is going nuts in facebook, my girlfriend was telling me about this and showing me the longer video and the pictures of all the bruises and cuts she ended up with that are all running around facebook now.

See more pictures.

But they do not say exactly where is the checkpoint, it's impossible that they make illegal urine tests on central pattaya. They usually use dark alley...

And there is no street urine test that is legal.

Ummm, it can be a pretty nasty job actually apprehending someone on Meth (if that is one substance she was on) since it can react with the nervous system and basically make you unable to feel pain, and a person who is freaking and unable to feel pain can cause a lot of damage to people trying to apprehend them.

 

You could say the same thing as your local kitty cat.... just try giving a 5kg kitty cat a nice bath by yourself 

If you learn how to read you will know that she was negative to any drug.

If cops in this country where real man only 2 of them would have been enough.

Hello, what about Fraser's and Gian's restaurant ? It seems that they have always been there ? Are prices and food correct ? Which one you prefer ?

Thanks.

Exactly !!!

Unfortunately, this will probably be no different to the 'no passengers travelling in the back of pick ups' policy, also launched to ensure the safety of passengers.

When you launch these policies, they should be enforced rigidly, with severe penalties for offenders.

Long time ago all double decker were supposed to be banned...

Ridiculous people in a ridiculous country ! So happy not to be born here and be able to live whenever I wont stand all this BS anymore !

She was driving with her friend and stopped at a checkpoint where they were both drug tested negative.
Not happy, the police searched the car found the E-Cigarette and began to make a drama. She admitted to owning the cigarette and told police that it was not necessary to involve her friend.

Where was the checkpoint where she was piss checked ?

Ridiculous. There is nothing premium in Asia except the one that grows indoor in Cambodia !

Nearly all the items I buy from China take a month or more to get here, but that's from Ebay.

If you are in hurry go to TUKCOM :-)

I will never understand these people who want to receive tomorrow morning what they just bought ! Is it life threatening ? Cannot wait ?

Not even driving a Benz ? What a loser !

How possible when being so famous ?

He wrote 'Goh' and that's about the closest you can get with English spelling. It is pronounced exactly that. They use "K" instead of "G" because of some old transcription system which isn't really accurate. 

 

There is still a few sleepy places on Koh Chang and I'd say in terms of overdevelopment Samui would come in way earlier than Koh Chang (after Phuket, that is).

Between G and K but not closer to GOH at all. Listen to Thai a bit more and you will understand. Learn the language maybe also !

In my experience, the East coast islands are all pretty unimpressive, and certainly Koh Chang was pretty ordinary in 1992, on the only occasion I went there. In what way has it improved?

Nothing improved and no island apart from the south is impressive.

bleble, aren't you the happy prophet of doom for all that is good?

If you cannot contribute something positive, why must you make such a negative, useless comment?  Why not join eatigo, get the discount, and get healthy at this lovely restaurant?  Your comment is false.

No, I am smart enough to get a BETTER and PERFECT salad at Sizzler for 139 thb.

And for that price I even get 10 salads ! 

+ soup

+ pasta

+ desserts

So, I agree, if someone is stupid enough to pay ONLY a salad 200 thb. I understand that some people can be scammers enough to sell it !
