How did his leg fall through the roof ? It still looks attached to me

In which orifice?

You have actually discovered the answer yourself, you cannot insure a RENTED motorbike, and as others have advised you if you do not have a licence qualifying you to ride a motor bike from your own country and you have an accident your policy will be annulled, there are no ifs or buts about this it is fact. I will also go further to advise you that if you are qualified and you ask your travel insurer if you are covered they are most likely to tell you you will only be covered if you import your own motorbike from your home country, yes I know stupid or what. That is the response I received from 3 companies I approached in the UK. So the upshot is : if you have your own bike and you are qualified you can buy insurance in any country you may wish to travel through which will end the moment you cross over the border and you will have to buy again in the new country. The only proviso is if you buy a bike in Thailand you can buy insurance but again you have to be qualified to drive it ( Thai licence or your own country licence), but again check your position with your health insurance company. Without it you will simply be a lamb to the slaughter and there is a hell of a lot of slaughter on Thai roads so don’t chance it.

What a stupid statement! The triple lock is the only salvation for thousand of pensioners who have worked all their lives and paid all of their taxes whilst benefit scroungers get everything for doing nothing all their lives

Well I suppose after 99years the lessee will be dead anyway, but anyone buying into this scam is a complete fool. Thais can go to any country and buy up land and property with complete impunity, owning every scrap of it, selling anytime they want and keeping every penny they earn from it but here the foreigner pays for the home and land immediately gives away 51% thereby losing full control of his / her money and at best get a 30 year lease which is unlikely to be renewed unless a further price is paid at the exorbitant will of the person who got the original 51% for free. Would it not be better to lobby one’s home government to remove the imbalance until the Thai government allows the foreigner to retain all rights over his / her money and assets. A pipe dream yes but not beyond the bounds of possibility if every expat came together, in the UK it only takes a 100,000 votes to get a matter such as the above discussed and voted on in parliament and if all facts are properly placed before the MPs and made aware of the injustice, the removal of the rights of Thais to do as they please in our country until it is reciprocated is a very real prospect. All that is needed is the will to raise the matter and if the British government agrees to act I can assure you that the rest of the world will soon follow.

They are exactly the same as the last Labour thieves and look at them now, all multi millionaires. 5 billion year on year to the NHS, no restrictions do with it what you will so a heart surgeon friend of mine got a 25,000 increase and his working week cut to 3 days. They went on to steal the private pensions to the tune of 5 billion year on year undermining my own pension and thousands like me who had worked our socks of to pay into one, so I see no difference between the thief of downing st then and the one we have now, both of them even wear trousers. One can only hope that the idiots who voted for them are now going experience the same difficulties as the rest of us.

It starts with M and ends with D’S amongst others but given the global fatty rate one can be very sure that the time worn German word Burgermunchers speaks volumes. 20 years ago I travelled extensively in Thailand and only saw one fatty who looked like his problem was health not junk food but at least he was able to sit all of it on one seat but not anymore most of the girls now need one for each enormous cheek. Raging diabetes awaits Thailand unless they do something about it sooner rather than later.

Ha,ha,ha obviously your level of intellect does not allow you to rise above such a comment. I am sorry you condemned the people of the North (oops another capital letter ) of England ( heck a second one ) to being dimwits like yourself however you should return there as soon as you can so you will feel entirely at home.

SO WRONG, I am an Englishman born and bred who sees no humour in the ridiculous terminology you use only contempt for it’s childishness. Every child in the world no matter the language it eventually speaks learns to speak that language properly in it’s early formative years, obviously moving on from that point in your life has not been a strong point. One dreads to think of what you would have made of DON MUEANG airport also in Bangkok. Your own words in reply are CORRECT AND UNDERSTANDABLE so why not grow up and give it a try.

And so childish Thankfully having travelled to Bangkok arriving through Suvarnabhumi airport every 3 months since it was opened it is the first time I have heard such stupid terminology and one hopes the last time. On first reading your post one’s thoughts were that coming from the UK you were somewhat wrapped up in the coming November 5th Guy Fawkes event and “ Bangers equalled fireworks, but it was impossible to find something that equalled “ Tacka “ especially as in the same sentence you use the word taxi. May one ask what makes you think of yourself as being particularly clever and that everyone is as ridiculous as you? On second thoughts please don’t answer the mental strain of trying to decipher it would simply be too much, if you can mangle the English language in such a way one dreads the thought of what you do to the Thai language

Wonder if your partner feels the same.

NO ! God forbid we already have one bunch of thugs led by a full on A - -hole we sure as hell don’t need another, you keep him, he is seen around the world as definitely holding the nut but can’t find the bolt or the wrench.

Don’t think for one second that this is not going to be the only thing they steal from us ! The second thief of Downing st is now looking at all those with private pensions and considering whether or not pensioners really need the state pension if they have a few hard earned savings in the bank or invested, so I hope all you nay sayers and believers of socialist rhetoric have nailed down any money you have because believe me the current bunch of thieves and FREEBEGATE participants have their greedy eyes and paws very near to it. As far as socialists are concerned the only people who should have money is them and everyone else can go to the food banks and live in penury, they have no interest in pensioners other than the extraction of any wealth they may have and worked hard for.

What a load of foul smelling droppings, only a fool with no idea of what was really happening with the European UNION a misnomer if ever there was one would come up with that tripe. IF the living standards were / are lowered in the UK ( and I live there so I see what is going on and I hear the rhetoric from the biggest bunch of full on liars in the country the Labour Party ) it is because the previous Labour government yet again bankrupted the UK causing a financial crises that reverberated around the world, and before as is always the case, the tories could build the country up again we were hit by the Covid pandemic which cost billions, and as the coffers were empty this money had to be borrowed. Gordon Brown had sold off the gold reserves for peanuts causing gold to crash for a time, had these reserves been properly handled they would have seriously offset the borrowing or at least given a way to pay it back without stressing the economy. I agree Boris was a bit wild and we knew that when he was elected but without him at the helm there is a good chance the UK would still be struggling with the pandemic because the European UNION did everything in its power to undermine us, and are still trying. The bunch of political thieves and thugs running the EU have never ever had the books balanced because the corruption and pocket lining has made it impossible, the worlds largest company of accountants pulled out years ago because of this very fact and I do not blame them. So may I suggest to you that you do a little research about the EU and why the UK voted out, and who knows you may even come up with the reported fact but quickly squashed item about how had we stayed in, the EU they were going to relegate the UK, this once great tiny island which had in the past ruled 3/4 of the world to become a suburb of Brussels.in it’s administration whilst continuing to bleed us dry with taxation and overbearing rules and regulations. All you need to do now is pooh pooh the facts and you will compound your ignorance.

Yes we have all seen them ass down front up overloaded so much they can hardly steer on dry roads and no chance on wet, and yet again the reporter is an ass, it is NOT the vehicle that loses control it is the untrained, uneducated, and unaware brain dead DRIVER.

No they are not harmless! They are larger than Thai males and the battery lasts longer, there is the fear factor.

You have hit it in one “ imposed markups “ in other words tax levies by a greedy government, import tax, distribution tax and after sales tax.

That pickup was reversing at tremendous speed but the Toyota won the battle of who would go forward????? duh Beats brake failure RIP the deceased man

Hope there is no overstay problems

So you have never heard of driving in a manner that road conditions will SAFELY allow? Sadly Thai driving standards are so low that they firmly believe that the only way forward is with the peddle firmly pressed to the floor and when something goes wrong the only way to stop the vehicle is by hitting the nearest obstacle. The one shred of daylight in this is that at long last the reporter acknowledged and stated that the DRIVER lost control of the car

Who ever I bet he was just as irresponsible and stupidly uncaring, but I really think it is a total windup and his 3 jumps a day are over a low wall

Hopefully forever, this rubbish should be dealt with severely and with finality.

Case in point.

Nailed it

Might be a good idea, if he has not got the care and consideration for anyone he has sex with by going straight for medical attention he does not deserve to keep it. Genital warts can cause cervical cancer yet here he is asking for OTC treatments from people who like him are so ignorant that they have mixed up the human papillo virus HPV with the Herpes syndrome virus both being entirely different STDs, one even suggested he should forget about them and they will go away, brain dead or what? even if said in jest it is a stupid remark, and given the amount of men one infected prostitute goes with in one year the prospect of thousands of further infections is frightening.
