Korat Kiwi

Yes fixing up bikes can be done on the cheap here. It sounds like you need a new speedo panel, Easy enough to get via Lazada or Ali Express. Check the drive unit in the front wheel first... Maybe that's the problem, again it's an easy fix/replacement part. I did up a disused scooter for around 2500 baht. Parts replaced included: Front / rear tyres and tubes Front caliper and pads Rear brake shoes Front forks Light cluster, changed all lights to led Carburettor Brakes levers Battery I'd hate to think what that would cost in the West. Some real bargains to be made if you can fix things up yourself.

Instead of HH how about getting the airport at Korat running again.

Where I was living in Korat, an elderly local woman made Tod Mun at the evening market. A little bit spicy but tasty as hell. Always went down well with a few cold beers. I must seek out these dragon balls. They sound good.

There can be a lot of spitting cobras in palm oil plantations. In Malaysia they were introduced to keep the rat population down, that were eating the palm nuts. Amazing animals that aim a jet of 'spit' into their opponents eyes. Not that I'd like to be spat at or bitten by one.

He should be renamed either: Halfwit or Fakwit for all the good he does. Like dinosaurs he should be extinct.

There's not much in Thailand that hasn't been used to kill oneself or others. (Just in the last 1or 2 weeks) Guns, knives, cars, motorcycles, balconies, swimming pools, electricity, dams, flooded rivers, ponds, road signs, machetes, ping pong ball bombs, sticks, rope, cement truck, collapsing footpath, moat, overpass, bridge, security guards, vicious dog, snake, monk, jealous: boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/lover, and there's bound to be others I've missed. Thailand... the land of variety!

Hells bells. how do people survive without being paid? If any of my past jobs didn't pay me on time I would have walked. No hesitation. But then we have employment courts and the like to see recompense. Pretty buggered here by the sounds of it.

Blood?

Yep, that's the first thing I think of upon seeing a snake... Lottery numbers. Gotta Luv Thailand.

Next to it was a condom... apparently it was fakd off.

And the rainwater is probably colder and better tasting...

Yep, that'll teach em.

Hmmmm

You sure it was your hand she was holding! Drinking wine is possibly more relaxing....

I can tell who got the money each time I go into Lotus'sss. New TVs and Fridge freezers being bought... Huge queues at ATMs

I tried the happy pizza once when I was in Phnom Penh about 10 years ago. Didn't really know what it was about as a friend suggested I try some. Wow, it was a very flavoursome pizza that I quite enjoyed. The topping kicked in later when we went up town to do some bar hopping. Paranoia kicked in so I decided to return to my room and sleep it off. Would I try it again? Maybe but take it slowly. Nice buzz

Okay, I get the physics of it all..... Yes I did go to school not just to eat my lunch. I picked up on the pendulum part and I'm aware of sine, cosine and tangent. The following post about sitting on their arse doing sweet fa (Or sitting on their bums doing their sums) probably made more sense. Maybe it's all a little over my head... But keep them coming!

Sorry Crossy.... I looked at Google and still can't work this one out. Please explain.

Agree... Its never their fault. Is it part of their upbringing to never own up when they've fakd up? Is it part of Thai culture? Or simply put does it cause loss of face to apologise for mistakes? I was taught the opposite, own you mistakes... take the punishment, learn and move on. People hate hearing excuses.

They had a quick check of her records/CDs/MiniDisc/MP3 stick and they've all disappeared... Is this a sign of the times or just progress?

No so happy hour down Soi Buakhao Suddenly, one of the Dorkonians began to flagellate hysterically. Something, apparently, had gone down the wrong pipe.

Unwittingly, Raymond wanders into the hive’s company picnic.

Somewhere down Soi 6 in the early hours.... “Oh, yeah? ... How’d you like your nose unflattened?”
