  1. Just wear your rainbow shirt and high heels.
  2. Some of us seem unaware of the poverty in this country. A woman has to be desperate to cut off her hair for 2k baht. There is a market for hair, but I don't think 2k is the wholesale price for the amount she's selling.
  3. What has changed over the last 4 years? A sudden spike in cancers, defibrillators in public places, young people suddenly dropping dead from heart attacks and strokes. Did Thais just discover alcohol? Is air and water pollution a new phenomenon in Thailand? I don't know what it is, but something has changed since 2021.
  4. I'm short but exceedingly heavy, a lot of which is fat and a lot that isn't. A taller man would run into trouble on the 350 due to the high floorboards. I wouldn't want legs with more than a 30 inch inseam on that bike. I let a man around your height sit on my ADV to get a feel for it and he said "no way".
  5. Is there a government inspection required after a bike is 3 years old? My Click turns 3 on Valentine's Day and the lady said it couldn't be insured beyond the end of February. I grew tired of the limitations of the Click and bought an ADV 350 a year ago this week. I logged 15,000 km on it in 5 months of touring around the country and......I missed the Click! The ADV has a great suspension and it was nice to cruise all day at 120 to 140, but man that thing is wide and heavy. The Click was way more fun in Northern Thailand on the twisty roads and there's no comparison in Pattaya traffic. I've gone back to riding it and will probably sell the ADV this month. There's a lot of useful information on this short thread; thank you for sharing it here. I've got the YSS front and rear and while an improvement on the stock suspension, I still find it lacking.
  6. I couldn't find it either. The voice gives away the katoeys every time.
  7. She must have inherited the money. Easy come, easy go. Someone who earned 30 million baht would have done her due diligence, sopping loins notwithstanding.
  8. You have no idea what people do for a living and just make <deleted> up. Not a bloody clue.
  9. How did he pay that strumpet £12 million. You pretend he's a commoner when he isn't.
  10. No, it was for everyone.
  11. They keep a large supply of fresh, young boys at the ready.
  12. You might want to do an audit on the royal family and get back to us on that. Wealthy people aren't stupid: they write the tax codes then structure their revenue so that only a minimal amount is taken as income. Other sources are taxed at very favourable rates, if at all. How are their lands and other holdings taxed? They're parasites and should be stripped of their ill gotten wealth and be forced to return to the office or the fields.
  13. Not that long ago the story would be that a 29 year old had a stroke. A few years before that it would have been that she got Kwai Chang Cain tattoos on her forearms. Welcome to the new normal.
  14. You can save yourself a few bob and do it yourself in the comfort of your own home. YouTube has videos made by budget conscious punters with a steady and and a frugal heart.
