  1. Most Thais will stop and help if your in an out of the way place, if they stop and you don't speak Thai, then for some reason all Thais I've met know the word Kaput say that and point at the bike, if no one stops just wave with a 100b note. I had a belt that was sounding awful, I stopped at a coffee shop, she rang a repair shop nearby, they came and took it to their shop and returned it, while I sat and drank coffee. Having said all that you'd be surprised at these 'out of the way' places eventually a songtow taxi will come by.
  2. And to add no ''governments'' imports new ones either.
  3. Slight of subject; In the UK years ago, if you were on the dole, you could 'go on holiday for 2 weeks but must be contactable if a job came up lol before mobile phones, if you timed it right with signing on say at Xmas that would give you 4 weeks. When asked where I was staying, I said various camp sights in Wales, and off to Morocco I'd go for a month. of course I'd never do that now
  4. Yes I'm sorry I miss read the OP
  5. How long are you allowed for a 'Holiday' each year, is it up to 3 months?
  6. I 'sold' 2 to a local bike repair shop, I asked if they wanted them for spares, they came and looked, gave me 3k without me asking for money, took them away on a sidecar with the books, the reg number was invalid as no tax was paid for a few years, now years later I still see them being driven around my village (no tax stickers), one lady told me she paid 5k for one, it was around 20yrs old. (the bike not the lady )
  7. This is so ridicules cock fighting in Thailand is legal, 'but has to be a registered ring??????' of course there is gambling otherwise why would they spend a lot of money on their cocks, food, and equipment, and bother with the whole discusting thing. Some cocks are worth millions.
  8. Monitors, so so many birds, and I have never seen so many different types of ants from the size of a grain of sand to bull ants, red ants are the worst IMO little barstards, but the locals like their eggs to eat, along with lots of other insects, and dare I say Frogs
  9. You could try; Double sided tape, & Thick clear plastic, we used it in the UK one time for insulation. Cheap to buy and try.
  10. We have cops, they control the kids/parents coming out of schools 3+ up on a motor bike with no helmets, waving them out, while he wears a helmet with a cam, never stops any. Ps I live up "In the Jungle" according to my friends.
  11. I'm not surprised with this, Thaksin even said cannabis was akin to Opium
  12. Sorry I have to disagree with you, I always use tape on screwed threads, even tapered ones. Some pump pressures are very high.
  13. How can you tell if someone is Vegan? They tell you.
  14. You have twisted the thread, its not about GOVERNMENTS importing cars it's about INDIVIDUALS importing cars. As usual you have no useful input.
  15. Now find and clamp down on illegal guns ASP
  16. Can't click on full story; but who will benefit from these life jackets? all boats by law should carry them, so ????
  17. ruffled a few feathers there, init. ok i'll get my hat now.
  18. So not a wild goose chase then. he'll be up in front of the beak soon. ????
  19. ????She's a big fat cow, Twice the size of me with hairs upon her belly like the bark upon a tree, she can run jump, Furk, Fart, wheel a barrow, push a cart, She's the girl that's going to marry me????
