That put a spoke in his wheel.

Things are getting a bit inflated in this thread. Too much hot air I reckon or are we pedalling too many old jokes. This bike thing is going downhill.

A lot of free wheeling then, now you all need to saddle down.

All hospitals have isolated covid wards so you don’t mix patients without covid.

Of course they do, not just for covid there are many contagious diseases, T B being most prevalent in Thailand. I know.

I thought on trucks like this wheels are always paired so a blowout has no effect on safety.  

I have to disagree, if one tyre had gone flat and the driver hadn't noticed, the paired hot tyre would have more load, causing it to bellow out more and start to *kiss* the the flat one. Friction = Heat. just to repeat a story i once posted, wifey and I, were on a bus near the back, when i noticed a noise coming from underneath (Ex-mechanics ears still work) it took my wife 3 attempts to get the driver to stop by finally pulling his earphones off ! rear outside tyre was flat. All falangs on the bus thanked us for possibly preventing a fatal accident. i think the Thais were more annoyed by being woken up in the day.

inquire about the sale of amulets priced at 8 million baht each. 

Just how many amulets did they take ? in previous reports i thought it was only one.

A blazing trailer isn't something you want to move anywhere, that would just fan the flames.

 

The point of unhitching the trailer was to save the tractor unit by moving it away from the burning trailer.

 

No need to loose he tractor unit as well as the trailer. 

Better to lose the tractor unit than your life.

His ribs were broken, his collarbones were in a bad state and there were more than 20 fresh and old wounds on his face.

These sort of injuries do not happen by a fall in the bathroom pretty obvious to most, in any normal country the hospital would have informed the police !!

I could also do with some advice on what action to take when you seem to have a non-functioning amulet....

Drive as fast as you can to a temple using mountain roads, in the rain, give them a huge donation have a few beers and drive home fast in the early hours, i am sure it will be OK.

Nice to know these '' hard working'' cops are back to work. 

Irresponsible father, passing out drunk with a child in his care. This was all premeditated and lets hope the perb. is shot while trying to escape, and the young girl can get proper counseling, not interrogated by male cops as has happened before with photo ops.

Where did these 5 Filipino resort workers get 500K.

Its not like they were highly paid brain surgeons 

Maybe unlike Buddhist Thais, these Christians saved their money working at a resort with free food and accommodation. But go ahead and slag of the victims like most of the posters here.

Lets hope justice is done, and they get new jobs soon. Sunantha 31 what resort have you given a bad name to ?  I hope you are now out of work ! and on Koh Chang with luck you will never work again.

His wife is not Thai. She is applying for an extension for being a member of his family based upon his extension of stay.

I didn't see him mention that, only that the apartment is in his wife's name.

I give my empty bottles to a young kid up the road, comes on a push bike, she also delivers 20 lit water  bottles with a hand cart she makes 8 baht. i admire any kids willing to do a bit of work as i did when a kid, but not at only 10 yrs old. The last place would be dogs before humans.

Very good , thank you .

I programmed a monthly donation to Soi Dog .

Do you have a link to Paws ?

The way i see these dog charities near me, the people living off this money ( if you think the dogs get all the benefit wrong) have nice trucks and houses with swimming pools all paid for by your money. They also fill their place with barking yapping dogs.

I was also told one need to have their marriage certificate translated but didn't ever do in the past.  I asked the IO for the complete list but wasn't succesful.

Did you not get married in Thailand ? why do they need a translation ????

new a/c compressor which has doubled the cost they quoted me 

just checked on lazada the highest cost was 3,500 baht + say 500 baht an hour labour max

Test her out tell her this month can not send money no have, maybe can next month but only 50%. you will see how much she miss you. 

Where do you live ? as there are driving schools around, you take your test with them and can keep trying till they pass you, almost 100% sure you will pass. I can completely recommend Chanthaburi not sure if they have english but as they want good pass rates i am sure they will help you. duel control cars tested on a real road and a good test track even has a roundabout. automatic 5,500 baht about 20 hrs. of training in all. take you for the medical and to get the license and showed us a cheap hotel near buy. wifey paid 115 baht for medical and no hidden costs. pick up manual test is a bit more. 1,000 baht for M/C test. 

He gave it a nod, if his watchman had been there he would have nodded off.
