Crazy biker maneuvers or habits you see in Thailand
See them every day, and mostly the younger under 50yo’s trying to impress other farangs so to be noticed, either a gayish thing (which is fine) or a anti-social disposition, weird though. Per capita, I see more careless farangs riding. Yesterday seen four farang stupid maneuvers, this morning two, Thai zero today and one yesterday. We only read about some of the farang traffic deaths and very seldom hear about any injury incidents.

Vehicle in the front has the right of way. Coming up behind a vehicle and expecting them to yield to you is not only erroneous but stupid.

Biden calls for protection of al-Shifa hospital
After all the evidence presented today that Rantisi Hospital was a base for terrorist operations, US President Joe Biden comes out with a statement demanding that Shifa Hospital be a “protected zone.” Is he trying to protect Hamas?! He also clearly doesn’t know the Geneva Conventions. The moment a protected facility is used for hostile activities, it loses protected status.

Advice needed for 1 week in Chiang Mai
Personally I don’t think a week in cm is enough time to get a feel for the area given that cm is very touristy (note the feedback on this thread) and weather/smoke conditions changes during the year. Many expats really can’t handle the smoke conditions and leave during that period or just leave entirely. Everyone has their own tolerances, to each their own personal preference.

Lost Thai driving licence in Phuket
To be honest, I don’t remember either. Go ahead and register your bike license and let us know what happens 😊

Lost Thai driving licence in Phuket
You need the QR code that is on the back of each license to register. Yes each license has a different code

Lost Thai driving licence in Phuket
You can use the DLT QR license app, just as good as the hard copy. If you don’t have the app already but have a photo of the back of your license, then you can register on the app. Also I keep screenshots off the app of front and back of both my licenses.

Managing forum toxicity and negativity
Having a block feature would certainly reduce conflicts, reduce time spent moderating and reduce the amount of suspensions and banned accounts.

Managing forum toxicity and negativity
Though not all the threads that descend into trashing get thrown in the “lounge” and there is no way to put the thread on ignore.

Managing forum toxicity and negativity
There should be a forum section named something like “Intense Argument Free for All” where the threads that descend into incendiary abyss can be moved there, with the ability to to ignore that particular forum completely so none of it will show up anywhere. This way the habitual angsters can vent their aggression on each other, out of sight-out of mind for the individuals that have no interest in it.

Chiang Mai and Austin TX, what is so “special”?
Austin Texas is a sore spot in the state, why is that? CM is polar opposite of Austin Tx.

Agree with the block feature or not, it would certainly tone down the circular rhetoric of those who lose composure and obsessed with the attempt of having the last useless definitive word as it is being displayed here on this thread. It’s a waste of bandwidth 😊
