There's a lot of one arm farmers where I live if they say hello I just wave.  ????

A wave could, and often does, mean no in Thailand.

I was driving a car, legally, with a driver's license, at the age of 15.  And I was a safe driver.

 

The problem is not the age.  In fact, the younger one is when he or she learns to drive, the better it is for training one's driving reflexes and habits.

 

The problem here was clearly the phone addiction.  Maybe she was too young to have a phone.

Spot on.

They’re not wrong !!... It's pretty awful stuff (IMO).

 

I’m sure there will be a wider general response of ‘They not thai, they not know’ !!!.... its par for the course for thin skinned people to get upset a the slightest of critical comments, so this is sure to upset some. 

 

The reality is though, a lot of Thai food is wonderful, the Khao Soi example just one of them... So, take the rough with the smooth, we all have different tastes. 

 

 

Is this the dish served with rice in southern parts of Thailand?

When I was in LOS the bank book had to be updated every time I withdrew money. Is that no longer in effect?

I didn't do anything on line etc.

That's what I do, have to go inside the bank with the bankbook, as I don't use plastic cards (don't have any).

You used a 'smart phone'. That's how.

Hmmm.. Pattaya, boat problems, Phi Phi and now Phuket.... 300 THB entrance fee per 1st of June to invest in tourism....A long way to go

From the link:  "It has been reported that the tourists were taking photos on one side of the boat which caused the boat to lean over. Water leaked into the boat before it capsized."

had a normal stamp on it

 

Can anyone explain the difference between a normal stamp and the abnormal version ?

The "abnormal" version would be EMS or Registered mail.

But they have apologized, so it's all good, beside, Thai mail have never been known for it's outstanding service, so why the surprises here?...

IMO, they have an excellent service, 2 times/day 7days/week. What more can one ask for

Really, they need to celebrate in their own country until their covid is under control. Who knows how many variants they will bring? Common sense needed here.

Sorry, wrong country.

over the last month i have rented / borrowed from mates, A Forza 350, X Max 300 and ADV 350 - all for a minimum of a day, and all in different road / riding conditions.....

 

My conclusion was:

 

Last place - Forza 350, just felt like i was riding a boat, didn't feel confident round bends, didn't like the look of the clocks, the 3rd rate suspension nor those awful rubber coated bars .

2nd Place - Yamaha X max, boat like as the Forza better round bends better than the Forza, but far from brilliant, suspension betther than the forza but you really have to upgrade. Clocks didn't do it for me nor did the rubber coated bars...

Winner - Honda ADV 350 - Just has a lovely vibe about it - more like you're riding an auto motorbike than a scooter, good round bends (well for a scooter) - suspension would knock the other 2 into next week. Has propper "wide bar" handle bars, a lovely upright commanding riding position and an ADV style instrumment pannel.

 

So 11 days ago, went to the Honda scooter dealers,  to find out about availability and price.....

 

was told about 3-4 months wait, but the sales lady said she would "see what she could do" ...

 

So placed a 10k deposit and prepared for a long wait ....

 

This morning (christmas day) got a message (and photos) from the dealers - "your bike has arrived and can collect tomorrow" (26th) ....

.

.....she said, whilst she slipped into something more comfortable?

Just feed them the disgusting meals, that are now served on all domestic flights.

What meals are those? Never seen meals served on domestic flights part from a cookie and cofee.

I'm sure the idea is to keep them out the Chao Phaya and Mekong river systems.

Who would throw a fish worth up to 10 000 baht in the river? I'm sure they rather keep it in a fish tank
