SAFETY FIRST

Sadly, some guys leave their common sense at the airport on arriving to Thailand. They end up spending all their money, money they've saved over the years, inheritance money, money from this and that, then when the money has run out....... It makes the headlines. 😔

It is the most annoying ad, keeps coming back after closing. Its recently been added to the forum, if I have a very slow internet connection I must wait quite some time for the X to appear to close.

Yep, I'm anti buffets. I Always order of the menu (alacarte) when traveling, avoid the buffets.

No life is dynamic, always changing. House renovations never stop, children get older, different schools, different friends, I meet different parents. It never stops, I love it.

Living in the same house in Pattaya I bought 2001. Still here, wouldn't be anyway else. I used to get stopped by the people selling timeshare on Pattaya Beach, they would ask where would you like to go if you had the money, I would always reply Pattaya. I'm very lucky, been working offshore on a 28 day rotation, I get 1 month away every other month, it suits me.

Gawd, that's a few party days. I bet he was a happy chappy after exchanging that first €1000. 😮 Another naughty Brit makes the headlines.

Why would you take a video and not stop the assault. Strange behavior.

Bloody useless in Thailand. You'd struggle to find a single Thai that understands Morse Code

Motorbikes are out of control also, some riders think they are invincible, their carefree attitude amazes me.

Probably the solution. Throw some money at the problem, it works in Thailand.

Back in the day, these were scooters.

Best you take 1600 baht with you for the tm30 fine.

Of course they would. 2 x free certificates (0baht) for 1000 baht. Lots of beer money for them.

This lying technique is suitable for these mismanaged delivery services. Most are reliable and on schedule but the others are annoying.

You must sign the cars blue book as shown above.

I have. I had 3BB connected back when they offered 2mb bandwidth for 590 baht per month. It was pegged at 590 baht a month but 3BB regularly doubled the bandwidth, increasing the bandwidth from 2 to 4mb and so on, these increases happened regularly until I had Fibre installed. BTW, who else is enjoying those 'temple street' adds, can't get enough. 😂

From the title, I Thought you had motorbike issues.

Good, leave alone the Aussie market.

So what you are saying he should be like most boring old farts and sit in front of the computer all day being miserable. I've been riding since the age of 10, not a better experience in this world than riding my motorbikes

My local Family Mart, now Tops, won't sell me alcohol during off times but I see the Thais walking out of the shop 4am, 5am, 6am with bottles of beer. Probably paying cash, not requiring a receipt as the till won't allow the employee to ring it up. I don't mind the stupid hours, I end up going to a Thai shop and buy my grog, just disappointed that Tops sells to some but not others.

Don't worry about it.

There's no need to get nasty with Thailand. Scammers are everywhere, in every country.

I'm sure a few of our AN members own a pair of elephant pants. 😂

You can't beat the Honda PCX. A few years ago I rode my PCX from Koh Kong HOTEL (Cambodia), crossed the border at 8am got back to Pattaya at 2.30pm. I felt great. It was the rainy season, threw my noisy rain coat in the bin. I rode for an hour in the rain, then the next hour I dried off, this went on most of the ride, what a fantastic ride. 👍

It could be the size of the bike that drew their attention, 650cc. They want us bigger bike riders off the roads, so any news is good news it seems.
