grain

A bit long in the tooth for that "man of action" sort of stuff at age 78. I hope for his sake he recovers ok from his injuries and is not bedridden or wheelchair bound from now on.

"The revenue generated was split into 17 billion baht from Thai tourists and 400 million baht from foreign tourists", Mr. Sathien said. 17 billion baht from the domestic Thai tourists, and a measly 400 million baht from those cheap charlie foreigners. They got nothing to worry about, may as seal the country off and just rake in all those billions of baht the Thais spend. ????

So if a guy owns his condo in Pattaya and he pulls a Russian or African FL from the WS and takes her home for a LT. Then technically he's supposed to go to immigration and do a TM30 because he has an alien staying the night at his residence. Honestly, the mind boggles at times here in Toyland. ????

I have none of this stress, no worrying about their stupid site that apparently was set up by an IT idiot, no sweating it out about maybe I'll cop a 2000Bt fine down the track. Once every 3 months I pop into Imm and do it myself. I live far from the (Korat) Imm office, about 50km, but it takes me 5-10 minutes to do the 90 day report and then we're off to Makro & Lotus's & WishCo for shopping. Often the old fashioned way is best.

That's what I'm thinking. OP said it could be 10 years old, so we're talking about a mc that would sell for just a few thousand bt. Obviously the TG is somebody special to OP or he wouldn't even consider it. If the TG is some form of "tirak" then just give the old mc to her. If not then sell it if you have no further use for it. Also remember "borrowing" in Thailand means you're extremely unlikely to ever have it returned. She could total it or it could get nicked, or she could just vanish with it.

I've only ever used E20 in my Mitsu Triton, can I get that in Malaysia? If not what should I use?

That's what I was thinking. I wish I could be awarded 200,000 Bt for everytime a LB has inappropriately touched my ass as I was walking along BR, or BuaKhao, or Soi 6, or WS.

Yep did both tests, and that ratbag grain is now in the UK. But seriously, are the BIB going to go to all the bother of doing VPN DNS tests to try and track down the real identity of someone over an online complaint about a plate of food? They can barely cope with all the serious crime on their hands. The only reason they get involved in any of these online bitch sessions is people use their real names and are very easily located.

Yep my vpn is on right now, and according to that I'm in Paris, France. So if the BIB want to go on a wild goose chase for someone called grain who lives in Paris, and prosecute him for saying online that the tom yum gung at Mama Noi's restaurant in Khon Kaen is mai aroy, then so be it. ????

Just watched that vid that was on Thai TV, pretty conclusive I'd say, the SUV pulled out in front of oncoming traffic. Clearly in the wrong in any country. Sorry for the Aussie as he's in deep deep sh*t and it's going to take a serious pile of dosh to buy back his liberty. RIP to the girls on the mc.

That's what I always think. I never use my real name on any forums or FB or blogs.

Also I believe you need to have a brake light fitted to your rear window. Is that still a requirement?

So what's the approx' cost to do this if I want to take my car into Malaysia for approx' 2 weeks motoring holiday to Penang, Ipoh, Cameron Highlands?

Yes, I'm exactly the same. Many sites I had to register just to look at something and mostly I used 123456789 PW, I have dozens of them and couldn't give a hoot if anyone cracks them and gets in. I've still got all those silly PWs stored away in my GMail account, though I'd tried to delete some. As I mentioned above I've now changed all my important PWs with much stronger PWs.

Thanks for that, I have several email accounts, I checked the 2 main ones I use and one came up pwned. I think because I used it for Bolt and Bolt had a breach a while ago. Anyway, I have now changed the PWs for all my email accounts and my online banking.

Recently I've been getting security alerts from Google/GMail informing me some of my PWs have been found published online and for me to change all my PWs. Has anyone else been receiving these alerts? Are these alerts to be taken seriously or is it some internet BS? I really have a lot of different PWs stored with my GMail account, so changing all of them is a big task, I also don't want to go fiddling around with my stored PWs if this is some sort of scam.

I could fix their problem in 24 hours.

If me for a couple of months holiday I'd prefer Vietnam. Of course it all depends on what one is looking for. If scenery and interesting places then as LittleBear57 has already outlined, Nam for sure. If on the other hand one was looking for action, bars, mongering, then Cambodia, in particular PP, has the edge on Nam.

They found him at 6:50pm, at this time of year the sun doesn't set until around 6:30, and it's not completely dark for another 15-20 minutes after sunset. So he wasn't walking around in the dark until maybe the final 10 minutes. However, you're correct there may have been obstructions like rocky outcrops in his way. Also remember he had a mobile phone and internet as he used WhatsApp, so it's puzzling that he couldn't establish where he was and get back on track using Google Maps.

Well you see it works like this. The sun sets in the west, so being late afternoon you can see in which direction the sun is setting, so you walk in a straight line with the sun in front of you, and you will eventually arrive on the western coast of Koh Phangan. If at any time you find yourself walking and the sun is behind you, then you are no longer walking in a straight line.

It was late afternoon, it's not difficult to keep on a straight line when there's a setting sun to follow. ????

Good points, I'll give it a try.

Yes, that could be a solution. The fact I have 3 gaps in my mouth doesn't bother me a bit, as the gaps can't be seen unless I really open wide. So the only problem I have is the occasional accidental biting of the cheeks, so smoothing off may well solve the problem. I have a good dentist in Khon Kaen and I'll discuss it with her soon.

Thanks for the replies so far everyone. having all my other teeth extracted and getting dentures is definitely not an option. Maybe someone knows about this. When I was teaching at Thai schools I noticed some kids had a tooth that looked like it was made from stainless steel or silver. A whole silver tooth in the kids mouth. I presume it's some temporary fix after the kid's first teeth fall out. So does anyone know what they are and how they are held in position?

Over the years I've had 3 teeth extracted. 1 upper left, 1 upper right, and 1 bottom left. As there are now gaps where the teeth once were, and extra corners on either side of the gaps, I find that often when I eat, and sometimes when talking, I'll accidently catch part of the inside of my cheeks in the gaps and bite on my cheek lining, which results in blood blisters, some can be quite large. So I'm thinking of maybe getting those 3 gaps filled. Have other BMs had the same issue? And if you got the gaps filled in any way what was done, and what was the approx cost? Before anyone tells me I should be asking a dentist about this, I intend doing just that, but before talking with a dentist I just want to know what options are available and what the costs would be so when I talk with a dentist I have some idea about what is being discussed.
