SAFETY FIRST

never been called papa How old are you? I'm middle aged, as I get older I've been called papa a few times now. It ticks me OFF when the 40yo Thai birds call me papa. Do they reckon I could have fathered them.

I prefer 'Sir'

OK, I just heard on the local radio station that the bus driver fell asleep. As I said, nothing to do with faulty brakes. Posting should be edited. How about changing the article headline to 'Incompetant bus driver falls asleep blaming brake fault' ????

Unless it's a Plazma fire...... The bottom line is that a flame only becomes a plasma if it gets hot enough. Flames at lower temperatures do not contain enough ionization to become a plasma. On the other hand, a higher-temperature flame does indeed contain enough freed electrons and ions to act as a plasma.

It's a new bus, I've seen the old 50 year old buses stop. Incompetence (driver or mechanic). Too many reports of accidents blaming 'faulty brakes' We never hear the truth ????

I've visited a few Honda showrooms around Thailand, they won't sell for listed price, they don't like cash either, finance preferred. Could be because I'm a foreigner. I would like to hear from anyone that has bought a PCX160 for the listed price and paid cash.

The list price is 87k baht but you can't buy for this price. https://www.thaihonda.co.th/honda/motorcycle/automatic/new-pcx-160-2023

Sounds like another Brit getting nasty towards Thailand to me. Why would you take any notice of a Thai written email? I thought it would be the British Embassy in Thailand informing her about the death. Anyway, here we go, another article for the Thai bashers.

Go on, tell us more. You've sold the lot and want support from us ????

Geeze I wish our management company would be more forceful with long term parking. Out condo is around 5 years old, quite a few cars been here for many years, lots of dust on them, taking up valuable parking spaces.

Hardly PORN.

Try softer tyres. I see some pickups over 100,000 kilometers on the original tyres, they must be made of a very hard compound. I read most accidents in Thailand are pickups, no wonder, these tyres must under perform on wet roads, brake hard in the wet, then aquaplane into the vehicle ahead

To start the day with her toxic attitude is not for me. I do understand that there are those of you who enjoy and thrive on this toxicity but I steer clear.

I reckon it's only good for honey or jam sandwiches, it's foul. I enjoy the occasional beer. Some days if I've had a few beers I like a few slices of toasted bread with vegemite, nothing better ???????? Can't do it on sweetened bread, bloody UnAustralian. I remember when I first arrived in Thailand, buying the bread from 7-Eleven, same sugary crap.

Why are you using an agent?

I had a favorite bread shop on Soi Buakhao but I'm sure there's a witch working there, such a nasty woman. So, I tried the whole wheat bread from Makro. OMG, it's sweetened, I can taste the sugar. These idiots, putting sugar in whole wheat/wholegrain bread, it really ticks me OFF. Anyone else tasting the sweetened bread

There's no doubt the Thai Traffic Police do a good job. We continually see their efforts stopping traffic, at each and every intersection along the Sukhumvit and Theprasit roads in peak hours for the dignitaries. At times driving at stupid speeds through the streets escorting the famous. I'm amazed that there are not more accidents involving these escorts. Sadly, when these intersections are blocked, I'm sat there waiting with the other peasants for 10 or so minutes each time. ????

Wasting good beer.

You just got to be careful when walking around the building, people falling from the balconies at times. ????

BC was great to visit 20 years ago, each and every hidden bar along the strip was populated with 17,18 & 19yo girls but sadly what I found these same BC girls are still working the bars 20 years on, all withered and worn.

WOW, maybe we should get the fortune teller on the case 'Malaysia airlines MH 370'

What ever floats your boat ????

Yes, I've used the house blue book at immigration for residence certificate

What value did the agent give you? From reading your story you did it all yourself.

I reckon honda click is the best Bang for bucks, you made the right choice. ???? It's just that I'm a little too tall to fit on a click, I've got to stick with the pcx or nmax
