SAFETY FIRST

Omg, OP asks for help then he nastily replies to members with aggression and hostility.

Read the thread mate, these guys, part time bolt drivers are co-workers that I've known for years, we mostly talk about the drilling rigs, work stuff. They don't get drunk Tom, the boys just have a few beers after working night shift before going home to sleep with their families.

Just pay the little bit of money and stop your moaning. Some people here thrive on making their life more difficult than what it has to be. Avoiding the cops is a stupid thing to do, it makes you look guilty. If you are doing it tuff, struggling financially, start up a GoFundMe page 😂

That's nice. Tell them I said hello. 😂

Yeah, yeah, blah, blah. You know best. Lots of your type here. I'm not bothered explaining any more for those who won't listen.

You are confused, you need to educate yourself if you are making comment on offshore rig workers. Rig Pig's do things differently .

I went to length above to explain but some will choose to ignore

Oh dear, another agitator. Some people here are lonely old, angry men, looking to argue.

The offshore drilling rigs I work on are NO alcohol I've worked with these guys, offshore, they work for different service companies, most work for Halliburton. You must understand I work for an offshore drilling company as an expat commuter. I get paid a salary, every month, time on and time off. In the countries that the rig works, the locals working for these service companies as engineers etc. are ALL university educated, the locals are paid a much lower salary. On their time off they choose to work, they have their own homes and cars, Bolt is a convenient job for these guys on their time off. They are drinking a few beers after work (NOT GETTING DRUNK) with their friends after a hard day's work before they go home to their families. What's your point? Why are you being hostile? You come across as an agitator, there's no need for this behaviour.

Yes, it's difficult for some to understand offshore working I've been doing it now for a long time now, occasionally I miss family events some years depending on my rotation but I like the 1 month off.

Yes, cops here have a different attitude. Not stopping for most things except lunch and a nap. We see this poor behaviour daily as motorbike riders travel freely not wearing helmets etc.

Ha, ha. That explains why it stopped working 😂

Oh dear, George is a nice guy.

Well that's a relief. It's good to hear I'm safe in the workplace from your harassment

Yes, I buy Panasonic batteries from Lazada. I buy 10 or so at a time and I get free delivery.

When I moved to the neighbourhood a few decades ago these nightclubs were not there but over the years nightclubs like Xzyte and others closed down and these clubs moved in. They are not really a bother, it's only annoying at times when taking the kids to school, it becomes an obstacle course, avoiding the drunks on the road. Saying that it is still the most sort after area for housing in the city. Location, location, location.

Why not? Do not judge me. I've got one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet. I'm allowed to have a drink at 7am on 2 or 3 occasions on my time off.

My posting does come across as if I have a drinking problem but I work offshore on rotation, I only drink for my 28 days off. I have a big family, I don't have many friends (Thai or foreign), but the friends I have are of quality and are good people. I think the negativity on AN forums regarding members having Thai male friends maybe because most members here may only know the uneducated Somchai's. I've worked with many Thai's (male and female) offshore Songkhla and in Singapore, I have only good, positive comments for these people.

Maybe soi Buakhou with all the other foreigners at 7am. Mornings I prefer to be with my Thai friends.

It's one of a few early morning, Thai friends drinking spots. Got to mix it up otherwise life gets boring.

Yes, I'm not a very helpful person, I'm a beer drinking person. But I'm sure if you were dragged away from your safe zone behind your keyboard you would have been there helping. You'd probably get in the way, create havoc and chaos.

The good time probably killed him.

Good to hear mate 👍

I was very drunk at the time but looking at the video sober the people looked helpful.

She may have damaged the exposed internal components while defrosting. A mate of mine defrosting his fridge put a knife through his freezer recently. It would be very difficult to diagnose remotely, really need on-site tech.
