Could it be the spring (not the shock) that is too stiff for a light rider?

It may have changed, but I got a Thai driving licence using just my uk one plus passport. Took a written exam and did NOT have to take a driving test.... Nuts!
Then I discovered it was cheaper to bribe the BIB when stopped, than it was to go down the cop shop pay the fine and get the damn thing back.... Nuts!
A serial offender, last time Da Roadrunner got stopped, I just gave him the Thai licence and told him to keep it!

Pardon my ignorance, but why bother? What use is the yellow book once you've got it?

I hate to remind you of your own profile words..... " You can't change it........ so why bother. "
So quit beating yourself up over it, life's too short. Go out, have a beer and fun with the girls. Ooops, it says you are in Dubai?

Anyone know if we can get Arsenal (imazapyr) in Thailand.
It seems you can use it to hack and squirt to kill trees. That would be the easiest.
Could you learn to co-exist with the flora and fauna of this world? Or perhaps you could spray yourself with this stuff.

I need to transfer funds from US$ or UK£ to top up for my 800K, plus enough to live on and keep Lady Roadrunner in the manner to which she is accustomed.
Considering the strength of the Baht, it makes sense to transfer into Thai FCD accounts and wait for the exchange rate to improve before transferring into Baht.
Not protected by the Deposit Protection Agency? Risk is small, pick one of the biggest banks.
Can anyone confirm Immigration CW are accepting FCD's? Or is this another one that depends on the whim of the individual IO?

Has anyone managed to get a retirement visa at CW using a FCD account?

Money and medicine are a bad mix. Charging sick people extortionate prices ought to be illegal.
Looks like the Ministry of Commerce, Dept of Trade and the Central Committee on Product/Service Prices refused the brown envelope then. Well done! There is hope for this country yet.

They are quite impervious to Roundup as well.
You are growing tea and using poisonous Roundup? Let us all know what brand your tea is so we can avoid the poison.
As for the trees, man has chopped down too many already, damaging the ecology of the planet.

Is it going to be like it was during the war when everything was scarce and rationed? Fear not, Boris will save us! (If he's all we've got, we are in trouble). All the blundering buffoon cares about is becoming PM.
Thank God I retired to this third world country.

There is a guy I know who imported an engine from the UK, I should see him in about 4 weeks and will ask how he did it.
Da Roadrunner appreciates your help. PM me anytime if you get a response. Thanks.

Last month I took Levofloxasin for 30 days, age 63.
Walked 80Km last month (taking it easy because of tendon damage fears), already walked 55Km this month.
This is exercise walking, doesn't include normal day to day activities.
No negative effects so far that I can determine.
Maybe you were too old or too unfit to take these drugs.
We are all different, some are naturally more susceptible than others. You were lucky to get away with it. However, FQ drugs have latent effects, delayed onset 5 years in my case. Lots o luck! As for age and fitness.... we are the same age.... I'll leave it to my nickname for you to guess my level of fitness. Yep, the doctors turned an athlete into an old man.

Bear in mind that the blue reg book only shows the date the car was registered in Thailand. It could have been manufactured years earlier and then imported into Thailand as a used car. Therefore, the reg year in the blue book does not prove age of vehicle. Check the VIN number with the manufacturer. (Amazing Thailand)

Where do you think Michel Barnier, their chief negotiator comes from?
I'll leave it to other posters to respond to your other remarks. I can't be arsed.

Teresa May was too soft. Should have told 'em, unless we get a fair deal we're not paying. And just what could the EU do if we refused to pay? Sue us in the European Court that we would no longer recognise?
If we crash out it will hurt the EU as much as the UK as trade is two way.
Another mistake was negotiating with the French. May should have done a deal with Angela Merkel, the rest would follow her lead.... except the French of course, who would have been left out in the cold.
Better the Brits join together with their friends the Yanks, this would also give them a bigger stick to wield in negotiations.

Call some place Paradise, kiss it goodbye. The Thais even rape their own country.
It's not only Thailand. Man and his greed are destroying the whole world. How come stupid man has not noticed the small fact that we only have one planet and nowhere else to go?
I read a recent article which said there are toxic levels of drugs now found in most rivers. Drink the water, what do you get with it? You can thank the likes of Bayer and Monsanto corporations.
I see the future, a Chinese Thai man with a fist full of money, but he is dying, as the air and water are poison.

Why does nobody want to live in France? I can think of a list of reasons but will give one example that comes to mind.
So I was flying Air France Bkk - Paris when I noticed the stewardess coming around with a bottle of champagne. I further noticed that only French people were getting champagne. So when she came to me I answered her in French. She returned four times, by which time I had was getting slightly drunk and answered in English. You should have seen here face.... I have been giving champagne to an Englishman!
What's wrong with France? ..... The French! If you speak French they love you, if you don't they have no time for you.

Because more ways to "cock" things up, as Thai Immigration is clearly a world leader in cocking almost everything they turn there mind too!
Except opening brown envelopes, they seem to be expert at that. The Thais are incapable of doing anything the correct straight way, but are genius at corruption. World class indeed.

Think I might put this in the Immigration suggestion box (a worthy read that must be).... I would rather go with a GPS ankle bracelet or implanted chip, at least I would then not have to endure the purgatory of CW Immigration or TM30 or 90 day reports, as they would always know where I am - (a bit like Lady Roadrunner, I swear the female of the species have Radar, or Thai Jungle Telegraph). They are going to have a hard time using the Biometric Scan on me as Roadrunners don't have fingers.
How much more of these ridiculous regulations before we all up and leave?
How much more will the IO's put up with doing 12 hour days?
Who will crack first, the IO's or the Farangs?
