Korat Kiwi

1st international flight I went on was from NZ to Fiji. It was the only overseas trip that the whole family went on (Parents and 6 kids). I was 12 and I'll never forget the take off from Auckland. 1976 on a Mcdonald Douglas DC10. My I thought it was the most powerful plane.... Youthful exuberance? Loved the bullet in the tail.

I think I saw them at Central Plaza Airport... but it was a while ago.

Yep that's an old school beastie. It'll have a decent transformer in it. Not sure it does trickle charge tho.

Sorry Charlie, but after a minute I gave up listening to any more. I'd rather watch paint dry or some political debate... on second thoughts no I wouldn't. Some wannabe influencer? I don't know but I'm over all this dribbly stuff. Boring really. Maybe he is trying to be funny.... TRYING being to operative word. Can someone else pass a verdict?

Yes it looks like a bit of speed was involved. The way the forks are separated from the rest of the bike... Ouch that gotta hurt.

Yep, I'm in Non Thai just out of Korat. We hit 43 this afternoon. Just having a few cold ones now and it's dropped to 39.5 still warm but more bearable.

Even in the snow...

Some like it hot...

Scooters are good.

Wow that's a big outage. Don't open your freezers or go get some ice. We've been experiencing brown outs in Non Thai. Completely random usually around midnight for between 15 to 30 minutes. Cocks up your sleep as the fans switch off and sweat switches on. Very difficult to sleep. Hopefully they sort out your guys problems quickly. Currently 42.5 degrees here... Dammit

So a Thai man drive both vehicles but as the Ford was owned/rented by a German tourist, the German gets the fine. Moral of the story? Don't help any dumb arse that gets his car stuck in the sand. Actually not very good reporting in this story

It ain't half hot mum:

I would be hanging him up by a different part of his anatomy... for the same result.

This one on Lazada looks good too FOXSUR 12V 7A

I've got 2 chargers back in NZ that I got from aliexpress. They appear very similar to the first two you mentioned. My first one is for a car battery and it worked really well. I since sold the car but kept the charger as it was a good bit of kit. The 2nd charger was bought to use on motorcycle lithium ion batteries. That too did a great job and is in storage with motorcycle in NZ. I made up a cable with waterproof connectors, which made it easier/quicker to connect for the motorbike. Simple enough to do for car as well (If wanted/needed). They are cheap enough.. Go for it.

Likely find a bit of waste land and dig a big hole. Problem solved... until they realise the waste land was required for another project. Then start the cycle again...

Do they still have the rule that 1st 24hrs of shore leave is in uniform? Used to see that in Singapore in the mid 80s. I was told the rule was to stop idiots getting into trouble. If you got arrested whilst in uniform then you were in big trouble. So the sailors limited the amount of grog drunk in their first 24hrs and hence less trouble. Seemed to work well.

I bought some great looking Fox motorcycle boots. The fact the seller had zero reviews should have been the warning. What turned up? A pair of sands shoes that were odd sized and wouldn't fit me anyways. The account never changed from pending delivery so I couldn't receive and post a return/refund. A complete farce. It wasn't until I looked at 'customers questions' that I wasn't the only one caught out. I messaged Lazada with sellers name account and all the other facts pertaining to my scam. They inturn closed down the sellers account within a week. They would have made a small fortune. Never got a refund as I couldn't prove it was delivered via electronic receipt. Now I'm extra careful and only COD. Inspect before payment too. Been OK ever since.

We're suppose to get some rain for a few days at the start of May. I'm looking forward to the drop in temp but I expect humidity will be thru the roof. Oh well just another excuse for an ice cold beer!

Bloody power went out last night for about 45mins. So from about 2am it was sweatsville galore. Don't have an ac so the difference wasn't as bad as it could have been. Not nice lying on the bed, no fan and completely soaked in sweat. In fact bloody horrible. May have to fill up the bath tub type water container they have in one room.... Improvised plunge pool. No wonder some are dying in this heat.

It doesn't matter to where I'm travelling. My luggage stays the same. No check in, 1 bag within dimensions and weight for overhead locker plus over shoulder bag with electronics in it. If I need more clothes, the I buy them in the new country. Travel light always. No waiting at baggage carousels for luggage that may turn up. K. I. S. S.
