  1. As I already wrote on last Friday's post about motorcyles meeting Euro 4 standards....

     

    I had a discussion about this last weekend with a Thai. He told me to get myself a other exhaust system on my high powered bike. I could gain about 1 HP more with a complete new exhaust system and my bike would make some noise. I told him that 1 HP more would only mean less than 2% extra power and that I don't like having more noise when riding. He said that my bike should make a lot of noise and that people would hear me coming so they would notice me and that should be safer.

     

    I told him that a Somchai in a pickup wouldn't care if there was a bike with a lot of noise coming. I told him driving safe has to everything with anticipation and using brains. He asked me antisiption, what is antisiption ?? He never heard the word or phrase anticipation. I told him that is was looking further than the smart phone in your hand while driving a.nd predict what might be coming or happening further down the road. Ohh, he said. We have Bhudda for that.

     

    Summary :

    1. Educate people.

    2. Let them forget Buddha.

    3. Enforce law !!!

    While erecting the sign why not clean up the rubbish?

     

    Or am I talking rubbish...

    First of all the experts erecting the sign will never clean up the place because they aren't trained for it nor do they have experience in cleaning up !!!

     

    Second. The rubbish was probably dumped after they erected the sign.

     

    Thais can't read Chinese or Thainese. Most of them can't read at all.

    A Thai would never rat out another Thai when dumping. What's in it for the rat? No money to be made!!

  3. The online application only works when the passport you have is used entering Thailand. I got myself a new passport to replace my previous one. As it was issued by my embassy here in Bangkok in 2016, it doesn't work when using the online application. Immigration told me last Friday after I showed the application wasn't working. To have it working I must first get myself a re-entry permit, leave Thailand and enter Thailand by AIR !!!
