And the suicides during the lockdowns. Parents forcing their children to drink insecticides and drain cleaner, then killing themselves. It got so bad that the government threatened paramedics with imprisonment if they kept reporting the stories to the media.

He hit a lamp post, so the area was obviously well enough lit. More likely is that he was tired from work and fixated on an object for a moment too long. I can't imagine the grief of the mother. Out living a child would be bad enough, but to have to see his carcass all smashed up on the side of the road like that will never leave her.

Word salad. Taking it raw dog up the <deleted>ter is as risky as it has ever been, just like sharing needles and barebacking your way through a SF bathhouse with a bottle of amyl nitrate shoved up against your nostrils. Anti retrovirals might mask the symptoms for longer but the end is still the same wasting disease as it was 40 years ago.

Is that where the cheap dope and rub a dub places are? I know young guys who went to some Apocalypse Now river tubing place. They hit the bong pretty hard and copulated with the Western girls of low virtue. They had a good time, then some guys chose brides from the pack o tarts and haven't had a stress free day since then.

Back in Canada they trundle you off to a MAID center and give you the needle at age 74, so I feel fortunate to be here. A few more broken bones and scars add character if a man knows how to spin them into a colourful yarn. https://pp.worldnomads.com/ This policy might work for some. At least it has decent coverage for hospital expenses.

What is the infection mortality rate of Sars CoV2? That should be a reasonable guide as to how fearful one should be.

Not with that menu it wasn't. Part of the pricing is to keep the riff raff and balloon chasers out. One night, back in 2007 I was at a beer bar where the future Hooters was to be located. A woman in the bar got a marriage visa to England and the bar put on the typical pig roast. A balloon chaser arrived late and missed out on the pork. Unfazed, he picked up the stainless steel plate the pork had been served on and proceeded to lick the fat off of it. The image of his porcine features glimmering with pig fat in the red glow of a neon sign are forever burned into my psyche. He's the guy that Robin Hood keeps away from the civilized people who want to enjoy a quality Christmas dinner in peace. I ate at the Queen Vic- once.

I'm struggling with the same decisions myself. I don't need the life insurance portion of these plans, just to know that my medical bills will be covered in the event of an accident. The coverages are pathetic and over priced for the cost of the premiums.

I just had a look at the Native Farang channel and it looks like a much better life than most young families in the UK are having now. Most 25 year olds aren't walking away from a six figure job in The City, they're struggling with low pay, high housing and energy costs, whilst fighting a government that favours illegal aliens who wash up on rubber rafts over the native populace. I'd go as far to say that Western governments are hostile to their citizens, especially the young. Good for this couple for striking out in a different direction and trying to make a go of a different type of life. They've got a house and land - free and clear, why would they want to go back to the UK and join the underclass as filthy renters or mortgage slaves? Why would they subject their children to the indoctrination in Western schools and the bizarre obsession with gender identity and sexuality foisted on preschoolers? As an older guy who worked with many young people I learned how sensitive they are about language and perceived criticism. It was good to see how polite and respectful they are to each other and the people they meet. There's a much larger disconnect between them and the older generations than there was between us and our parents. Many of us older guys fail to understand how much society and the world has changed in the last 30 years.

Does YouTube have advertisements? Somebody also mentioned pop ups on this site. I've never seen either. People are welcome to pay as much or watch as many ads as they want if it makes them feel better about their entertainment choices, just know that if paying for what everyone else gets for free isn't your bag there are browsers that block the annoying drivel so you can enjoy the content without interruption or getting a bill at the end of the month. Brave is my choice of browser, but there must be others. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/free_rider_problem.asp I couldn't find anything on investopedia about Gabor's Theory of the LDOP (lame dupe overpayer) though, so perhaps an economist will drop into the thread and explain it for the laypeople.

What an evil scheme. This is a free gift to the big businesses favoured by government. Money spent at their approved retailers takes money out of the tills of mom and pop businesses within 4km of people's homes. "Approved" businesses not only get the handout but government also drives their competition out out of business and the Thai populace become flesh puppets who buy what they're told, when they're told, and only if they've been good little monkeys. For people who think this "money" is coming from pensioners et al don't understand how the monetary system works. Money doesn't exist until it's borrowed into existence, it's routinely "printed" out of thin air. Welcome to MMT.

Just like a bitch would do 555 Get your testosterone levels checked. Go for it, but not in the sniveling, cowardly manner that your post suggests. Get right up in that bricklayer or mason's face and take the photo, then post his picture and your selfie from the recovery room.

This has been going on for a long time. It's probably rival trade or technical school gangs. An ex gf sent her son to a technical school and she was very concerned about her boy fighting rival schools. Lots of young guys were getting killed, and that was more than 10 years ago.

It's a great place to stop and wash out the rice crispies and patina off the nether regions after a long ride.

Hua Hin Honda gave me a hard time until the owner came in and told me that my bike was manufactured with the correct metal part, not the yellow one in the recall notice (which he said was a service bulletin). I confirmed that info with Phuket Honda and Mityon Pattaya, where the bike was purchased. Hua Hin did the 1k service but didn't want to. Phuket was excellent, and I've got nothing but praise for Mityon who have been a pleasure to deal with. The Hua Hin service writer had the attitude you described, so I went back every morning and on the third day the owner was present to deal with me.

If yesterday's wave action carries on the beach won't be wide for much longer. The normally clear water was turbid with sand.

This is what will put me onto a bigger bike. I've been forced off of almost empty highways by angry Thai drivers who cross two lanes to run me off the road, then return to the fast lane and go back up to 120 km/hr. This was on highways with a 90 speed limit and I was doing 100. It happened an average of once every three hours on rides between Pattaya and Phuket. They sure as hell didn't do it to the Thai guys on Wave 125s though, because they knew what would happen at the next red light. I'll probably do one more tour on the 160, then get a bigger bike for touring. I love riding a lot more than booze and even loose women these days. Must be getting old.

Do they have anti siphon/backflow prevention devices here?

Oops old thread

My Click 160 with ABS (no longer available) was 72,900 baht in mid February. I believe the ADV 160 is 108,000 baht; a substantial difference. The demand when I bought my scooter was huge and prices were rising by the month so there was no negotiation. It's helpful to understand that the profit is in the finance more than in the markup on the bike.

It was done at a shop on Pattaya Thai, just before Sukhumvit Road, at a cost of 8300 baht. Not cheap, but far superior to what it came with. I rode out to Jomtien this afternoon and have far more confidence in the scooter than with the old suspension where I braced myself at every bump in the road due to the front forks bottoming out. The new suspension reminds me of that in a race car- very stiff with no bounce, almost jarring. In other words, just what I was looking for 555. There was too long a wait for the ADV back in February and I couldn't even find somewhere to test ride one, so I really don't know. The ADV suspension appears to be beefier, but so does the suspension on the CRF300L, and that's like a pogo stick. I really like the 300 Rally, or at least the idea of it, but it's too bouncy for me and I'd have no confidence going hard into a corner on it. There are suspension upgrades for that one too, but they cost around 30k baht. Still, if I do end up with a 300 Rally I'll pay for the upgrade, but that's beyond the scope of this thread.

I've got one. A Click 160 "special edition" bought on Valentine's Day this year. The front and rear discs are better than drum brakes on long hills where brake fade can be a problem. I tour on the Click, so I know of what I speak. That was recalled and dealt with months ago, as was explained to me at the Honda shop in Phuket. I've done over 9k km on my Click in just over 4 months and there have been zero problems. A couple of things of note. For anyone who does long days on a Click the seat is uncomfortable after an hour, painful after two hours, and torture if you're doing 6-9 hour days. I've asked at 3 different shops and all of them told me there is no aftermarket seat to remedy the problem. I'll keep searching. Second is the woefully inadequate suspension, especially the front. Thai highways are strange; they can be amazingly smooth for a distance then suddenly potholed, leaving a scooter rider desperately grasping for the brakes. The front suspension won't handle potholes at 80 to 100km/hr, so yesterday I took the plunge and had a YSS front and rear suspension installed for an upcoming ride, perhaps to CM. Thus far I've been unable to bottom out either of the shocks. I'm based in Pattaya and have ridden to Hua Hin a few times and twice to Phuket + Krabi and back. The speed limit is 90 and the Click 160 will do 100 comfortably (aside from the seat) all day long. Why not get a bigger bike? I love small displacement motorcycles. Riding on the shoulder for most of the day is a different experience than sitting on the road with the cars. Being stopped at a red light on a Click, surrounded by Thai people on similar bikes is different than being there on a big bike, decked out like a stormtrooper replete with body armour and a full faced helmet (ie, more sensible riders). Who knows, maybe I'll move up to a bigger bike one day.

They'll need every drug they can smoke, snort and inject as the factories close down and the citizens freeze during the winter months. Don't overestimate Germany's influence; they're finished as a modern industrial nation and serve as a warning, not an example, of how to manage a country. I've yet to meet a Thai (who holds down a job) who uses marijuana. They hate the stench from the smoke, as do most non dopers. You won't see them marching in Bangkok for Western tourists' right to fire up the bong. Perhaps Thaksin will be put in charge of the nation's illicit drug policy and there will be another pogrom.

It's needed for facial recognition cameras.
