  1. Thanks, the motorbike stand idea that gave me a chuckle. The last 3 deaths, of UK citizens, in the Chonburi area, that I have helped the friends and families, did not require a post mortem. I agree most will, but it does depend on the hospital, police investigator and the way they are approached.
  2. Are you looking for 10 pin or crown green bowling? If the latter are you aware of the Retreat Lawn Bowling Club Pattaya. https://www.lawnbowlingthailand.com/
  3. Really? Did you watch the same video as me? The guy crossing the road, showed himself to be a moron, was it you? Bye and hope you have a good day in that alternative reality, as you are clearly unencumbered by the thought process.
  4. I normally don’t agree with anything you post, but think you are totally correct this time. They will never apologise, because they will deny the facts, say the police are lying, or the media are covering it up. Why would they want to let the truth spoil their hatred.
  5. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has tightened its grips on Boeing. https://cargoforwarder.eu/2024/04/14/faa-plays-hardball-with-boeing/ All of Boeing's over 100,000 employees could be surveyed by NTSB investigators about its safety culture. https://www.businessinsider.com/ntsb-could-survey-every-boeing-employee-about-safety-culture-2024-4
  6. Sorry but I have a good memory, and remember your post boosting about you shouting at the AIS staff, and your problems at the bank, when you believe your queue was moving slower than the other. If your memory is bad, maybe check through your previous posts. You in this thread, are failing to see that it is not you that decides what passenger can take into the cabin, it is the airline. If anyone sees you moving their baggage out of the overhead locker, it can be perceived at worst, as attempted thief. You need to drop your superiority, entitlement belief. If you try what you think you are entitled to, you could face problems, from not only the cabin crew, but other passengers. Aviation has rules and regulations, which apply to you, try making a scene and there is a chance of you having problems. If there is no space speak to the cabin crew, they are responsible and in charge of the aircraft. I have made hundreds of flights and the only times I have seen no space, is when passengers have tried to bring on oversized luggage and have been made to let the cabin crew move them to the hold. Next you will use your favourite comment, and tell me, that I am part of afraid of my own shadow brigade, but that is far from the reality, I live by the correct social rules, have no chip on my shoulder, respect others, have the intellect to understand situations and do not attempt to embarrass myself in public.
  7. Try this approach, 5555 https://www.ndtv.com/offbeat/video-man-thrown-off-plane-after-arguing-with-crew-over-cabin-storage-4355674
  8. @CharlieH gave the perfect answer, but what would you then do if you are then ordered off the aircraft, after making your little scene? In previous posts you have mentioned you sometimes shout at shop and bank staff. Under ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) and CAAT (Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand) regulations, the cabin have the legal authority to order you off the aircraft. They have the authority to restrain you. Flight attendants under the permission from the Captain, have the authority to restrain you and arrange for your arrest if you fail to follow instructions. Adhering to Cabin Crews instructions are a legal requirement, as instructions from flight crew are protected by law and no-one is above the law. Trust me, you don’t want to be that person that makes that scene with the wrong people on the wrong aircraft. Aviation law is a serious business and could cause you a world of pain.
  9. Sorry Richard, but the poster I was replying to, was Thai bashing, and was defending the fool in the original video. My bet is, that poster, when he gets to a marked crossing, raises his hand and walks. I have seen that so often. It was that poster that said he has incidents daily when crossing the road. I am not defending Thai driving, but myself and I would say most AN user, never have daily incidents, and in many years I have not even had a near miss. Maybe my own self preservation awareness/intelligence is better than others. Also not long ago, I remember you posting a strong defence of Thai driving, based on the statistical data and types of vehicles involved in accidents, so please be consistent. You often like to tell us, you are well travelled, so do you think that crossing the road in say Indonesia, Cambodian, Laos or Vietnam cities is any different? I am out of the thread, and leave it to those that think the moron in the original was not in the wrong, proving him and themselves to be as sharp as marbles. Linked below is UK pedestrian accident data, showing accidents do occur elsewhere. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casualties-great-britain-pedestrian-factsheet-2022/reported-road-casualties-in-great-britain-pedestrian-factsheet-2022#:~:text=to look properly'-,Pedestrian traffic and reported casualties,13%2C041 slightly injured (adjusted).
  10. 555555 How long have you lived here? So do you really think zebra crossings in Thailand, are like your home country. Seems your superiority complex attitude and masculinity prevents any critical thinking and you just want to provoke reaction, like the fool in the video, I understand now why you want to defend him. Maybe that large chip on your shoulder prevents you moving your head enough to look both ways. I can explain how to cross a road safely, if you'd like, but I can't understand for you.
  11. 5555555 Here was me, showing my concern for your safety, as you have already confessed you are daily unable to cross the road without incident. Here is your response, just proving further my original post, through yet more Thai bashing.
  12. Bye Found a training video to help you get safely through your day.
  13. 55555 Is that really your come back? I am very capable of safety crossing a road, and have not in over 60 years felt the need to hit a car that is slowly and carefully driving into the car park. Is it you in the video? You seem to want to defend the fool.
  14. Thank you for proving my comment. A bit of “whataboutism”,to defend this clown, and good to get in your bit of Thai bashing. Have a good day, which I doubt is possible.
  15. My friend on holiday, died last month, Chonburi, the costs were. 1. Government hospital costs, plus 6 nights body storage - 2400 baht 2. Coffin, few simple flowers, framed picture, etc. and transport from hospital to temple (all sorted through hospital mortuary department) - 14750 baht. 3. Simple temple cremation, no nights at temple, 4 monks said prays and undertaker, 30 minutes - 10000 baht (temple used was more expensive than most, but family wanted the place. The hospital and police did not request a post mortem, so police report, ambulance transport to government hospital and Amphur death certificate was about 3000 baht in total. Receipts attached with personal details removed. Total - just over 30000 baht. Not planned to be on a budget, the family just wanted a simple cremation. Most was claimed back off his travel insurance.
  16. I personally know that I always sweat a lot, so I drink warm water, not cold, mixed with some electrolytes, as I can drink it quicker, to replace my fluid levels, just suits me the best. My past profession did not allow for light weight loose clothing, so I developed strategies on how to hydrate myself, to prevent the problems occurring, and have used that for living with hot spells. I know my own bodies and how best to hydrate myself to suit the temperature and what I am going to be doing. No hard and fast rules, but I will be flexible depending on the situation, but I always ensure I drink enough of suitable liquids and electrolytes.
  17. Excellent point, and something I also said in another thread a few days ago, only to be told by one poster that electrolytes are just an advertising con. https://aseannow.com/topic/1324447-heat-wave-be-careful-out-there/
  18. What’s his AN name? After reading recent posts, there are many with this superiority complex attitude, it is always someone else’s fault, and want to defend every stupid foreigner that needs to displays their masculinity through anger, hostility, and violence. Another ‘quality’ visitor, who lacks the intelligence to see how stupid he is, and hides his ignorance, through his full on arrogance.
  19. Of course not my picture, but you asked the question about left over metal parts. Been to a lot of crematoriums, previously in the Uk, and there were boxes of items like this keep by the staff to be disposed of later. In Thailand if you go back after the cremation, the remains are raked out by the undertaker onto a metal tray. Depending on how good/hot the cremation process was, will depend on the size and amount of bone fragments left. The family and friends will usually pick through the remains, before they are disposed of. This is my picture, of a friend, last month in pattaya area, after using a mortar and pestle to break the bone fragments up, to transport his remains back to the UK.
  20. Please remember there is a big difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion you can normally deal with yourself, but heat exhaustion requires medical care and attention. “If left untreated, heatstroke can instantly damage multiple organs, including brain, heart, kidneys and muscles. In case that the treatment is delayed, the damage worsens, increasing risk of serious complications, long-term disability or even death.” https://www.bangkokinternationalhospital.com/health-articles/disease-treatment/hot-weather-must-be-careful-of-heatstroke The same easy preventative measures will help avoid both, drink plenty of water, not alcohol, avoid dehydration, wear light coloured loose clothing, think about time of day when exercising or working in the heat.
  21. Here are a couple of articles about what happens to unclaimed and unidentified bodies. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3297183/A-brush-death-remains-3-890-unidentified-people-exhumed-CLEANED-ancient-Thai-Buddhist-tradition.html https://damirsagolj.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/bizarre-thailand-unclaimed/ This is the Poh Teck Tung Foundation Cemetery in Samut Sakhon province, for the unclaimed/unidentified bodies.
  22. After cremation the metal replacement joints, pins and implants will remain. These are commonly made of stainless steel, cobalt chrome steels and titanium alloys. So I guess there will be some scrap value if the family really want it, or the undertaker or temple would just collect the pieces. A titanium hip after cremation.
  23. From the link to the thread I posted above, “the bodies were buried in the cemetery at Nakhon Nayok until it ran out of space and many of those remains were unearthed and then placed in separate containers at Thammasat University Hospital and the Central Institute of Forensic Science offices”. I have no further knowledge of these sites and no wish to visit them, as past experiences of the local government hospital mortuaries have been enough.
  24. After every Thai funeral, when I have gone with others, to collect the ashes it has always contained some bone fragments, Depending how good/hot the temple cremation has been, will govern the size and amount of bone fragments.Medical and dental prosthetics are not normally destroyed by the cremation. Also remember that before cremation pacemakers, which can explode in the heat, should be removed. plus silicone implants, radioactive "cancer seeds" and injectable or implantable radioactive isotopes used to treat several types of cancer. The local undertaker will use a mortar and pestle, to make the ashes if you request it, or you can take away the bone fragments.In the UK bone fragments are normally placed in an electric processor which converts them to the ashes.
  25. 1. If no one comes forward, then the body will be disposed of in a pauper burial. 2. Normally if the death is not in hospital, with known medical conditions/accident, the police investigator will send the body for post mortem, in my area that will be Police Hospital BKK. It can vary, but with no relative or friends the local government hospital will be happy to send the body away for post mortem, as to reduce their costs. 3. Any last will, which meets the relevant Thai laws and standards is normally honoured. It will depend if the DIY document has the correct legal standing.
