He must be scratching his head wondering whats going on, like we English people do, dont worry Elon we cant work it out,

I always wear decent shoes, I will take my shoes off but I am reluctant to leave them outside, Once my wife went to central on her scooter somebody stole her helmet,

We bought a condo 8 years ago here in Phuket and paid 5.9 million baht, I would be lucky to get my money back, the only saving grace it has been a superb rental unit, The property is still in good condition the management do a good job of taking care of the place and the pools,

Only certain areas of Phuket are busy, Monday evening in Rawai at the Seafood market was not busy, Usually full of tourist this time of the year, If I have a drive around the area all the bike rental shops are full of bikes,

Who told you that?

I have bought some from Lazada in the past,

I could eat this every morning

Even Thai's know that, a friend of mine got stopped one night, well over the limit, and the police wanted 40,000 Baht, he told them to f off he'll spend the night in jail and go to court in the morning, 5000 baht fine,

I'm just glad this didn't happen in Thailand,

Laos methanol poisoning victims were seen at mafia-run bar which openly sells hard-drugs to customers hours before being rushed to hospital - as police quiz workers at hostel where British lawyer killed in the mass spiking was staying https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14111525/Laos-methanol-poisoning-victims-drugs-spiking.html

All the slops would go in that barrel,

It would be the same in the UK if the motorbike rider, had no license or insurance, he would lose the claim, we don't know the Russian just might be 100% legal, I have known a couple of English guys walk away from an accident because the Thai's had no license and the police could not do a thing about it, One accident I know of years ago a farang hired a truck and had accident with a minivan full of farangs doing a visa run, none of them had insurance, the rented truck or the minivan, the police tried to stick it on the farang with the truck, he didn't know it had no insurance when he hired it, and that minivan had been all the way to Sadao and back with no insurance,

From the very early days of driving in Thailand I was always told don't get involved with Thai's right or wrong, let the insurance guys sort it out, Thai attitude "Farang pay" Who remembers the days when you had to display the insurance disc in the windscreen? well I had a bump with a poo ying driver it was her fault and my truck caved her car in, turns out she didn't any insurance, she's standing there pointing to my insurance, you have 1st class insurance we claim on yours, Not happening,

You must be new around here? you'll get used to it

Compulsory insurance or Motor Vehicle Act known as “Por Ror Bor”, is a legally required insurance policy for all motor vehicles in Thailand. https://www.roojai.com/en/car-insurance/compulsory/

I remember that story,

They know what they are doing, by not telling the punter their true gender, it's about how convincing they look, It's expensive being a Ladyboy so they need money,

spot on

Who is this?

Blinkers, old chap

You obviously have met the wrong people, stay out of bars,

Im no expert, but having lived in Phuket for at least 20 years and how the place has expanded and grown I wouldn't mind guessing there is nowhere near enough police to control traffic, we live in the south of the island in Rawai the police station that covers this area is Chalong so from Chalong how big is that area to police? at the moment we are only talking about traffic control, As far as I know it covers Kata and Karon. Also have you guys seen them ad's on Facebook groups? Getting a Thai license, you don't need to go to the test center, they do it all for you, and are saying it's 100% legal, how can it be legal if you didn't sit the exam yourself? So licenses are being issued here in Phuket to people not qualified, I just found one of these ad's on FB, i cut the contact details out, Make a legal driving license 100% No need to come to the transport office to take the test yourself. We will take the test for you - Motorcycle 1,500 baht - Car 2,500 baht - T.2. 3,500 baht - T.3. 4,500 baht - T.4. 5,500 baht No need to come to the transport office to take the test yourself. We will take the test for you. Interested in getting a driving license

Did you get a photo?

Could you not make a claim to the owner to put you in a hotel? that is also a health hazard,

Not all Israelis are Jews, No doubt Israeli security will be here,
