  1. Given my decades of experience of Koh Phangan, the reason this person was warned was because he ventured up the police road or went to Thongsala on his scooter.
  2. Do better. the locals aren't on motorized unicycles
  3. beyond stupidly expensive.
  4. What are you on about? the dude WAS NOT ON THE BTS. Nor was he sharing a confined space with others. he was on his own vehicle on a tropical island. quit looking for reasons to be offended.
  5. better feed, better meat. its not rocket science that you would prefer grass-fed to garbage fed steak is it?
  6. all i know is that poodles are nasty fokkers. give me the pit
  7. its because you rise to the bait every time.
  8. trying to figure out why a beloved dog was given up for adoption to some random villager?
  9. it would seem the thaiger has given up on the human review process entirely, what a complete crock of <deleted>e.
  10. Personally i doubt you cycle in any country
  11. Should we limit our posts to a single account of our prolific sexual prowess and be done with it?
  12. it would seem the thaiger has recognized the fundamental challenges facing the aseannow demographic
  13. amazing how similar in writing style they are. Also it is nice two completely different and unrelated new users to the platform who joined within days of each other back in June (within a month or so of the site changing ownership) are so aligned in bringing new engaging content to the site What a happy set of coincidences! it must be serendipity
  14. how is this different from the other article?
  15. this is the best thing that could have happened to the leftitst media they have 4 more years of Trump-fueled indignation.
  16. Good argument? I went for a 60 km ride in Bang Krachao under blue skies and watched the sunset over the water at Queen Sirikit park. I don't need to argue. I do it, as do many others here, apparently. I certainly saw other people on their bikes today. Men, women, all sorts of folk. Just not you. It is you who are making defeatist hysterical remarks like this from the sidelines after falling off a motorcycle like your own fears and shortcomings are universal. I meant it when I called you a cautionary tale. I pity you for your dramatic excuses and losing what little spark you may have once had -- we all rode our bikes to school as children in a different era btw, well done. Today I'm going to ride to Nong Bon Lake after I get some work done. it's a nice loop. I won't need that beer. perhaps you can drink it for me.
  17. Agreed, the Skylane is brilliant, but the headwinds can be nasty. The upside is that the tailwind makes some serious speed possible. Another thing to know it is a strictly enforced one-way lap, so you commit fully to the 24km .ride. if you decide to bail you need to call for the truck of shame to pick you up and take you back to the start.
  18. they are actually 10 for you 10 for the bike. Still ... I think they are trying to up to 15 each way for foreigners on weekends
  19. indeed. you are the most poignant of cautionary tales.
  20. there are bigger boats on wat klong toei Nok, not only longtails
  21. You have had a motorcycle accident so riding a bike is dangerous and a death wish. Oh ok.
  22. At the wat klong toei pier (bangkrachao side) there is M-bike rental, they have everything from massive Dutch bikes to some newer mountain bikes and hybrids. they update bike almost every year and have hundreds. Ill be passing by there today on my ride
  23. I ride there several times a week, it's great because I can tailor the length of the ride from my doorstep on lower Sukhumvit depending how much time Ihave. There are decent larger boats under the Bhumibol Bridge and at Wat Klong Toei Typical week day loop is 50 to 70 km more on weekends. I generally don't take the ferry there though I return via the Wat Klong Toei pier. There are quite a few regulars who ride there weekly, Thai and foreign, I also ride from home to the Sklylane, out to Ayutthaya or towards Bankhunthiantalay. Pattaya is in the works but I hear that can be stressful.
  24. I was waiting for you or someone like you. What an utter load of twaddle, you have no idea what you are talking about because you have never even tried riding here. if you had biked even a fraction of the distance you claim, you would understand that the roads here are not nearly as dangerous for cyclists as you make out. let's be honest here, when was the last time you were out on a bike logging those hundreds of thousands of kilometers? When was the last time you went 100km in a single ride? utter <deleted>. the walter mitty of the cycle world -- but not in Thailand, too dangerous.
