  1. Nice restaurant in Surin once. No hand soap in the Men's room...But "We have over here"...Why not put some in the Men's room...But we have over her. No need over there. 

    BEAUTIFUL soap dispenser, bone dry/never been filled in the Men's room.

     

    I asked WHY again. But...we have over here. Mamasan's dishwashing liquid & a tub of water...The sinks had running water?

    Why ask why I guess? My wife told me to just shut up, so I did.

    Is there any thing in this country too sacred or  out of bounds NOT to steal from?....

    Nope. Rape & pillage is the word of the day when one enters "civil service" in Thailand.

     

    If such were not true, we would not hear about it for decades on end.

     

    You! You! You no unnastand!!!

    1) Drums do not get hot if brake shoes are not in contact with them.

    2) If shoes were not contacting drums at all, I doubt the guy would have left the station as he would have had no brakes.

    3) This accident likely has nothing to do with the condition of the brakes.

    Metal against metal (no brake pads left) will not stop anything. They will, however heat the drums to cherry red temperatures, further exacerbating the problem as the metal against metal turns into a grinder & metal is shaved away as well as heated and expanded.

     

    I think that was the OP's point?

     

    PROBABLY, (my guess) is that the driver was on some kind of speed/drugs/drunk & hadn't slept for a very long time, hence the runner and the 2 km long "accident".

    The first in 26 y's ?.......It must not be easy to drive in there?

    They were students in South Florida, which is flat as a pancake.

     

    I'm from Central Florida, and just driving around anything with hills makes me as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

     

    Sorry to hear about those ladies poor fate, but flat-landers do not cope well in mountainous terrain. At least I don't.

    As if the police are interested in anything that cuts their revenue stream!

    Yes.

    Pattaya police were given an update on the Soi Korphai Community’s award-winning anti-drug program in hopes of taking it to other troubled neighborhoods.

     

    If the cops weren't sitting around with their thumbs up where the sun don't shine, well, they would not need to be "updated".

    'The sub-district is waiting on the drainage covers, which is why they were left open for the car to fall into.'

     

    Perfectly logical and acceptable to a Thai. The rest of us? Nah. The locals think we're too fussy about things like that.

    You tink too mutt!

    Maybe he had just had a bad day; happens to all of us. When I go to Tesco-Lotus, they also always send me from one check-out to the next, 50m from the right, where I wanted to queue up, wayyy down to the far left. Not happy about it either.

    I've had more than one bad day in Pattaya. I didn't start yelling at people though. 

     

    I just stopped off at Soi 6 for a bit to "calm down".

     

    I say this type of behavior could be curbed by allowing Soi 6 to operate in the afternoons once again.

    I like toads. Back home you can buy toad houses to put in your garden. But no way I would want to eat one.

     

    I think they are cool too. I've accidentally stepped on more than one, just stepping outside at night & almost felt bad about it, & I'm no PITA activist.

     

    Poor old toad was just there to eat some mosquitoes. Quite harmless little guys.

     

    I'd have to be mighty hungry to eat one though.

  9. I recall accidentally walking by an ice counter/display tray in Makro once.

     

    Looked over and 200 frogs (I guess?) were looking at me. Every one of them looked vicious & was big enough to bite my thumb off (if they'd had teeth).

     

    No thanks on eating frogs or especially toads.
