  1. Why are you rehashing topics that were discussed ad nauseam yesterday? Also, yesterday it stated they were arrested. It seems today they weren't
  2. this cracks me up, doing bumps on the street. seriously WTF.
  3. so help us do that by providing a source. you are certain, show us why.
  4. It should spark outrage. the anti-vape laws and campaigns are so ridiculous that the countries' leaders can't even be bothered to pretend that they aren't
  5. aaand these are the people making decisions. It's the Government or professional wrestling, you make the call
  6. Your partisan jargon bores me. The world is not black and white nor left or right, and it is myopic and reductive to see it that way. left and right is a divisive crock of <deleted> -- a distinction of milimetres on a much broader political spectrum.
  7. wow. even i take pause at the thought of the recumbent, probably because I'm not familiar with riding one, but they seem very low! I am in bagkrachao several time per week, but i only return via klong toei. i head out there on Rama 3/Ratuburana. it is a good 40km loop, and easy to double it once you are on the "island."
  8. some say its a cess pit of miserable geriatrics discussing us politics
  9. hoo boy that isn't gonna help.
  10. logic or personal experience doesn't play here. "Cycling in thailand is stupid," is the refrain and folks just sing it. i reckon the majority of them are couch-bound and would not cycle anywhere, but still they contribute an opinion.
  11. which is the case on any road anywhere, in a car, on a motorcycle, or on foot. What is odd to me is the people who ride motorcycles or use motorcyclycle taxis daily that announce riding a bike in Thailand is suicide. it just doesn't compute -- I'm not saying they are the same, but they certainly are similar activities
  12. you are correct, but then no one is arguing that. what is your point? and why the about face? Perhaps you should decide what it is you are trying to say
  13. Perhaps, but Thais on the street smoking pot is quite rare, whereas in my travels, i see foreigners doing the same daily. That is not to say Thais don't smoke weed. I smell weed often as I ride my bike through Thai neighborhoods, but on a busy public street, it is always a foreigner holding the joint
  14. it is not about marijuana, it is about foreign misbehavior.
  15. indeed. oddly i can still venture out my front door and walk 500m to pay for sex or buy a bag of coke.
  16. hardly instant. How long was he waging his war, and how long has he been out of office? It has taken years to bring him to task, and it remains to be seen if this arrest is all just for show
  17. I reckon that on certain parts of the island, you'd be hard-pressed to find local expats that didn't have a bag of cocaine
  18. yeah me too. The story is very different in tone from what I read last night, saying he was swaggering and posturing and working without a work permit, He was allegedly manning the weed shop for a free room and a cut of revenue
  19. yup, that is off-topic, Thanks for letting us all know bikes are bad.
