Why ask here? Just call the airline or better yet have your girl do it. She does speak Thai right?

Ever seen some of the 10 to 12 year old Yamaha Nouvos on the street? All it takes is common sense recommended general maintenance. Why would you think these machines need any special maintenance here? They are all designed to work in this environment. But, as was suggested before, if you want it to look the best, keep it out of the sun and rain especially if it's not used regularly.

7 day return policy at Mr. DIY. They don't check for defects etc.. Just tell them you want to return. I've never been given cash back as I just want what I bought. So exchanges for another item are no problem. Of course, must have the "bicet". I think I might have actually exchanged for something cheaper and been given the difference but not sure. I speak Thai OK so I have no problems with small issues like this. Can exchange even if you don't' like something. Just tell them return na krub.

Pattaya, Jomtien, that entire area is played out. 20-25 years ago it was great. Jomtien was a quiet area to get away from, what I thought then, was busy downtown Pattaya. Now the entire area completely played out. Dongtan beach had a nice cobblestone road that was hidden away and quiet all through the day with no cars. I used to visit before the Russians, Chinese and Indians were coming. I lived there in 2012 to 2015 and it was acceptable. Now both Pattaya and Jomtien are a mob scene with unacceptable traffic, noise and crowds. I'm in Bangkok now and really don't see much difference accept the beach. To get away from the City there are a lot of better choices. I don't need a Soi 6 or Soi Buakow to enjoy my retirement.

I prefer women, so yea Latina's are amazing women. I also like African women too. There are some great Thai women. I've had a couple wonderful GF's over the years. Nothing wrong with men liking men. So if you like Latino's than, to each his own.

Very rude and over entitled Karen approaching someone (Kamala) she doesn't even know and expecting her to drop everything and respond. There are proper ways of approaching people and then there's this craziness. Marjorie Taylor Green and this Karen should team up and make a new reality show. They could call it. We are sociopathic, sophomoric and entitled and here's how you can be too! I'd be calling the police by now if some kind of weird Karen crept up on me at baggage claim and started shouting expecting me to respond. What impresses me is how our the VP remained composed through this madness. All this video does is show us how rude this Karen is. Very telling about the original poster if she thinks this is acceptable behavior towards ANYONE by this Karen.

Specifically a post not mentioning "my member". Oh wait, I just did. Anyhow... gotta get my sex life back in high gear .. if there was ever a good news article meant to boost the massage parlor and gentleman's club revenue it is this one. In all seriousness, vaccination really needs to be taken seriously and it's a shame that some of these countries can't get it together to provide some of these basic vaccines to it's population.

I don't know about that, with Bolt, Grab, motorbike and regular taxi's around, seems to be no reason to use Tuk Tuk's anymore. Simply a novelty these days for 1 week tourists selfies and social media fodder. Look at me I'm in Thailand!! wow wow wi!! It might be cool to own one though. I had considered that. Fun to drive I'll bet .. but the safety concerns are pretty significant

Sad, but true. This guy practically had to be dragged out of the white house last time. No concession speech, countless millions spent trying to fight the legitimacy of the last election to no avail. He might pull some s#!t so outrageous and obviously criminal that no amount of BS and money will have him avoid prison time. It might be just the ticket to silence this living blemish on American society.

Years ago, I mistakenly hired a Tuk Tuk to take me to tour the wats. We made a detour to about 2 suit makers during the trip and they tried to hard sell me suits. After the 2nd stop at a Tailors I ditched the driver in the middle of China town. I was a bit green back then. I knew it was not going to end well so I ran. I have not used a Tuk Tuk since. Just a bad idea. I always chuckle when I see the green tourists all smiles roving around in the Tuk Tuks here in good ole' Kruntep.

Making news for the sake of news? Sorry guys but while some of the stories IMHO are actually newsworthy this one seems to be a bit desperate. Respectfully, perhaps you might consider some of your readers are interested in more depth in the events reported. Don't get my wrong I don't appreciate the effort.. it's just a bit funny to me that this small incident was reported as an actual news story.

Probably for the same reason hot dog eating contests are not an Olympic sport. There also could be some unusual implications behind the scenes.

The headline is a bit leading .. did the fact he was with a ladyboy somehow lead him to wind up in the moat? Got in the moat after "encounter" with ladyboy. Hmmm..

Yea, I've posted way too much here. gonna stop.. you are right.

Thanks, absolutely .. but I think most of us should just stop responding to susanlea. She's obviously convinced she is some kind of authority on a lot of things she has no clue about. Let's not clutter AN with these unproductive arguments. Let her go her merry way. Lost cause and I feel sad for her. There is no convincing somebody so drunk on the MAGA koolaid. These MAGA folks are filled with a bunch of propaganda and outrageous nonsense.

You can sling labels if you like. But I'm neither "left" or "right". I'm just the guy who listens carefully and does some research when participating in one of the greatest rights I have as a US citizen. I've made my decision based on common sense logic. I'm not swayed by the hyperbolic ultra hyped conservative media scare tactics which, it appears, has you in it's grips.

He claims he has a big thingy too. He's got big stuff and says he has big hands and a big thingy. He says he's got the best people, and says he was the best president since Lincoln. Wow, he's convinced me... oh wait. NOT!

Yea, this is a VERY important fact to take into account. So, what does this fact tell us? Why has the media, especially recently, become so polarized and highly biased? Here lies the problem with modern democracy and political environment. There exists a relatively small very wealthy group of individuals attempting to pull the strings one way or the other to serve their agenda. This is something the OP obviously is not aware of and should be as media outlets like Fox News spew extreme propaganda AND IT IS NOT FOR THE BENEFIT OF IT'S AUDIENCE. In fact it is NOT IN THE INTEREST OF IT'S AUDIENCE. But their viewers can't or wont' see it. That all being said, it is still pretty easy to glean who is and who is not competent and qualified to hold the high offices in the USA. Trump and Vance are woefully under-qualified and frightening in their agenda. At least Kamala Harris has a long successful history as a public servant in jobs that are not for the faint of heart. Being a DA then Attorney General and then senator in one of the most important states in the nation speaks volumes about her abilities. Trump? He ran a casino into the ground and has been convicted of screwing around and being dishonest in his business dealings. The choice is pretty obvious without even turning on the computer, looking at your phone or watching TV.

It's really a shame but after reading posts like these and all the OP's I am really beginning to think there ought to be a mental health and IQ test given to qualify to vote in the USA. Thoroughly discouraging state. The age of the Ken and Karens is upon us. Folks who have thoroughly drank the Fox News Kool Aid and then have started making it with 2 packs and twice the sugar. Really sad.

And there we have it folks... that's it right there. I'm very sorry for you.

You did nothing of the kind. There are people in all kinds of professions that are just not very good at their jobs. I was asking you about "sucking up". Not the fact that there are some dumb lawyers out there. You understand there are also some very outstanding lawyers in the world also right? You don't get to be a DA of two county's, the state of CA and a Senator by being stupid. That is just pretty damn obvious to anyone with half a brain.

You didn't answer my question. Anyways this is pointless, you've made up your mind but it won't matter. Trump will lose. Kamala will win and all will be right in the world.

All I can say at this point is something I think you should seriously consider. People in glass houses should not throw stones. You understand what I'm getting at?

Oh, is that how you get to be a county District Attorney? Sucking up? How does that work exactly? Please do help us all understand. How does one "suck up to the right people" to get a high level job like that? Perhaps you could enlighten us. Write us an essay on how Kamala Harris "sucked up" to all to the right people to be able to have a successful career as a lawyer in public service for a couple decades. Please, do tell us with all your worldly knowledge how to "suck up" and become a DA of Two major Bay Area California jurisdictions and then the entire state. Please, we are all waiting four your extensive and insightful explanation. Please try to use complete sentences. It helps with communication using the English Language. LOL!!!
