Which school is it? The same (Bang Phli branche), that literally hit the news lately wacking kids?

I don't want to name the school due to Thailand's defamation laws, but will say it was NOT an international school. 

 I live in Bangkok, and work in Samut Prakarn. Have not seen any sign of road blocks, checks etc. Wonder there they are.

A bit of a bang?? I guess mission accomplished then.

I think they might have been using the surplus GT 200's for the temp tests.

At 70 and having spent the 1st 20 years of my life in NZ, followed by a couple of Parisian winters, then the rest of my life in Melbin & Canbella, I don't think I've ever had the flu in my life.

 

Is that normal?

I was watching a documentary series on global pandemics on Netflix, they mention guys like you in the first episode. You might be one of the lucky few who are immune to all forms of the flu.

Why doesn't the Army drop pretences and declare a coup, so that they can ignore the Constitution, dismiss the caretaker Govt, and install their chosen PM?

First things first then a progress review

Understand a coup has just been announced but can't confirm - anyone have firm info?

100 % a coup. Army now officially in control.

Took it to bike shop, they loosened and tightened some bolts and now good as new. I was lucky.Thanks again for all replies.

Thanks for all the replies. They have been appreciated.

Try standing with the front wheel between your legs, looking toward the rear of the bike.

Grab the bars and see if you can re-align the bars so they are perpendicular to the forks. Stop forks turning with your legs/knees.

Sometime in a light impact the forks will twist slightly, which shows up as the bars not being in line.

Done this on dirt bikes many times after a fall.

This is good adivce. but I would like to add just one extra point ; Honda phantons have rubber mounted handle bar risers so loosten the nuts on the risers and re-tighten after straightening.

Thanks for the extra tip. Hopefully I'll be driving straight again tomorrow.

Thanks seedy, I'll give it a try, I guess I kinda hope my bike is more sturdy than the ten speed I had as a kid :-)

It was clipped pretty good, I think it's more than alignment, it seem to have bent out of shape. I'll try the honda dealership though, I'm sure they can direct me to someone if it's something they can't fix. Thanks for the reply.

Earlier today I got into a minor accident, the front wheel of my Honda Phanton was clipped. Now the handle bars are not aligned with the front tire. Anyone have any suggestions where I can get this straightened? I live in Bangkok. It is still drive able but awkward. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So have any of you on this board thought about what you would do if a civil war were to start ?

Do you believe you would be safe ?

Might pay to think about it.

After five years i left this fallen country already two weeks ago.

Heard you the first time. Bbye

Just got home, maybe this has been answered, apologies if it has. Bars are closed tomorrow night, does that mean elections are going ahead or they haven't made a decision and they are closed in case they still go through?

I have heard about Suthep's statements regarding seizing the US Embassy. But today's protest group only claimed to be going to protest not seize. Am I wrong? Not to mention that so far I haven't heard any confirmation that anyone showed up anyway.

This was supposed to go down between 1 and 4. Anyone in the area who can pass on info as to whether there is anyone protesting outside the embassy now?

Are there still large numbers of protesters near Democracy Monument?

Just got back from Lumpini. Not much of an opposition to amnesty bill if crowd size is any indicator. Definitely less than 2000 people there.

Any violence yet?

Doubt there will be any violence. Was there about an hour ago. Dancing, being entertained. My guess is it will end peacefully at midnight like they claim.
