Best to let them illegal immigrants keep streaming across the border. No deal with Joe!

On the Nan Phayao north loop trip (HWY 1148) a couple days back. Big swaths of recently burned new growth scrub forest. Poor region so what you going to do? Stop the Ban Nok people from getting some mushroom money when the rains come.

Thai netizens condemned the foreigner for disrespecting Thai laws

Disrespecting Thailand yet again. How long o Lord, how long, and when will it end?! 

Yawn

Fobs (keys) For both Honda & Yamaha were a important item on checklist. 
 

Love the convenience but as much hassle as.  Yamaha Filano, back up fob on initial bike purchase, 900 B. If you buy later 1500 B. If you lose both Fob & do not have backup, plus lose ID number. You are now in deep do do. Not just more money but painful hoops to jump through. That for the Yamaha.

According to a few different Thai legal providers having a lawyer present is one of your rights. 

Good to know. That said the TV news networks are going Full Metal Oratai this morning. It was bad enough for the last three days or so, but now with the confession they can keep going over (and over) the shocking details, the savage nature of the killings ... by ... wait for it ...  Evil little Chocolate, Alp dwelling, banking, gnomes of evil .. naw my bs there ...  Farangs in general as the differences between farang are a moot point to the local audience. 

Looks like they found a gift horse. WE are over 30 minutes Straight Oratai coverage right now with no end in site. Before the apologists arrive, we watch the morning news and Thai killers no matter the savagery, rarely get this kind of coverage. 

Ah well only a problem if you plan to live here long term ... like me. *$^# !!

Trump need not worry. The prior 2 terms before Hoover got elected had Republicans in the presidency

Quotes lost to time. I love running onto these.

"Witnesses claimed that Calvin Coolidge seemed to have aged ten years between 1929 and 1932. His face and neck grew gaunt; The former President had a haggard, haunted look about him in the last twelve months of his life. No longer was silent Cal a popular folk hero. He died shortly after noon on January 5th, 1933, alone at his home in Northampton."

Those are obviously all bikes for girls.

You can accessorize your scooter, this will make you feel less a nancy boy.

 

Bibi trying to preach to the Choir, but half of them, do not care anymore. When this is over, however it ends, he is toast and he knows it. He will have no say in what the future holds.

Things I learned on Friday.

Honda has a great, or inflated,  reputation, in Thailand  --- However the two best bikes I ever owned were Suzuki. Long ago and not in Thailand.

The Giorno has a better lock & even an alarm(!) although low volume & squeely. Better replacement of electronic fob if lost with the Giorno.

Red, may (or may not), make a motorcycle more popular with thieves.

I need not one but TWO, Certificates of Residency, (grrrr) if they take my Wave as trade in. Technically I am both selling a bike and buying a bike. A Certificate of Residency needed for both. Still one shop[ was offering twice what I would have accepted for the Wave, so not a problem. 

Yet back in Nakorn Nowhere, I do not recall needing a Cert of R for either of the bikes I purchased in the wastelands. New requirement or depends on the jongwat you are living in? Always mysteries in Thailand

 - The weekend will come - 
 

Since 2022/3, they no longer stock Appletons or Plantation Rhum in my local. Mt Gay is still sold by a couple outlets but it is has increased in price by 30 % (390 B). Havana Club has only went up a 160 baht or so. A bleeding bargain these days

Popular conspiracy theories as to why, among our mook brigade are, wait for it ........ Biden, or being 'woke'.

As your girlfriend is paramount, just ask her which one she prefers

She likes both, but I'm the one putting out the Baht. Will be using too, so looking at what might be, could be, better. They are close enough that price is not an issue.

Ps, should have just got a Honda Wave. 

I have a 17 year old Wave, 130KM,+  that refuses to die. I love it but, it is time push it off a balconey, uh er, get rid of it.  Yes a Wave or a Click is more economical, more bang for the buck but not really looking for that at this point.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given both of our ages, this might be the last bike we buy. I have a bigger bike btw. Then again we use the Honda City for touring these days. This trend will likely continue & expand as we age. Looking at the Filano & Giorno, as a morning market, morning gym & swim, around town, put put. Not going to be putting major KM's on it.  However want to look stylish doing it. Want something that goes with our mirrored shades. Even old **ckers need to be cool, or at least think that we are.  

Thanks for all your input.
