How did Trump do this? He is not president. If he did it when he was president, then why didn’t Joe reinstate it?

They do if you do what I say.

At Swampy they have a ticket queue for the taxis. If they refuse to use the meter just tell them, no problem and walk off towards the ticket machine and tell them you will get another taxi. They ALWAYS back down, because if they didn’t they would have to go to the end of the queue again. I NEVER tip when they try this on me. drivers that agree to use the meter straight away without fuss i will tip them around 200 baht.

You are correct. But there have been times I knew I had had too much and then I got a taxi, slept it off or got a ride. That happened three weeks ago, I knew I was gone, I handed my keys over the bar, only a short trip but I still didn’t risk it. Some people shouldn’t drink at .05 and will drive like idiots some people are ok at .15%, will drive safely. I know you don’t agree, but it is the reality. We don’t really know if Tik would have hit them if he had not of had a drink at all, he was speeding and they had stopped on a narrow bridge.

Yes, a clever Dick.

That was his mistake, he wasn’t, he was speeding. A classic example of someone that should not have been drinking.

Golden Triangle. Many of the rice farmers up there have magnificent mansions.

I think you are missing the point as usual Dick. The bar is set very low for the % because some people are affected by alcohol more than others. I seem to remember you saying that after a couple it affects you. secondly, some people go stupid on the booze and drive faster than they normally would or more reckless. Which is why I am advocating if you do have a couple, make sure to drive at a very safe speed and follow all road laws. This will not only stop you getting pulled over most of the time but it will save lives.

Other. university students.

A leopard never changes his stripes. we can catch up for a beer if you want.

Phuket is special and they charge more for nearly everything compared with the rest of Thailand. And they still keep coming. The downside is the traffic. Upside is more top end restaurants etc that other areas could not maintain due to not enough big spenders. People like myself don’t mind paying extra for the best, and it helps to keep riff raff out. A lot of flak that Phuket gets is from the less well heeled who hate the place because of the prices. Business is about supply and demand, Phuket is nailing it, so much demand they can put up prices making a lot of the locals very wealthy. A lot wealthier than all the complainers.

Sounds like you can not handle your booze if you think that is 4x the DUI limit. He was speeding. I never speed after having a couple of beers. So I would be fine to drive at 0.106%, but if I was four times over I wouldn’t, especially if I was wearing sunglasses and had tinted windows. Many places in the world the limit is 0.08%. So it is just slightly over. You won’t believe this but I actually got let off and allowed to drive home at .01% previously. The policeman could see I was fine to drive.

No. For petchabun try these https://www.facebook.com/p/เพชรบูรณ์-ช่างไฟฟ้า-ช่างประปา-ทำฝ้าเพดาน-ติดปั้มน้ำ-อุปกรณ์ไฟฟ้า-100069689742666/

Boys will be boys. Not much in it. We did a lot worse supporting our football teams in the UK. i miss those days.

No. They lie as well.

The cowards will assimilate well with the French people.

That is not true. There are tradesmen that specialize in plumbing. But handymen will also take on the job. https://www.phuketplumbers.com/en/

I don’t trust the IDF. They are shameless liars. Probably exaggerated or not true at all.

Good on her.

Thais on average are much more honest than average Brits. Hardly ever hear this happening in England. I would have pocketed the 40,000 and headed straight down to Soi 6.

Nah. i put it down to 7 and the biggest killer on the road, speed.

I said from the start he had probably had a few after leaving a licensed premises at 4am with friends But you bizarradly were trying to blame it on his glasses.

I don’t know about that.

Well, just another example of Thailand going after quantity over quality from these lowlife countries. Throw him in the cell with the local ladyboys for a week then deport the punk.

He is just joking. He has a cracking sense of humor for an elderly gentleman. He often writes to me for advice on life.
