  1. Update, The saplings are still alive! So far, some seem to be doing better than others, but they are all still going.
  2. Oh I see, I did wonder lol Still seems f***ing stupid
  3. This came up on the local Facebook groups. 304 Industrial Park is the location, I have been along that road many times, and the road isn't that bad or the bend "that" sharp, well not to a driver who can drive and of course not blind drunk!
  4. I did a quick Google Gemini search. According to Gemini, the saplings will need all the sun they can get and regular watering. So, I planted some out from pots into the soil about 6 feet apart and watered them. Since then (just over a week) it's been raining every other day. Soon, I will go back and check them, but yes, this is an experiment to see if they like the land and grow.
  5. What? if you pull the clutch lever on a motorbike, the engine will go back to idle speed, let the clutch out again, and it will go back to the revs it was at. If you're in 3rd gear, say and you just come off the throttle, then you will get an over run and you will get engine braking. If its a Honda Wave for example,e if you're in 4th gear and you come off the throttle, then the engine will stop accelerating and then the revs will act like an engine brake, so you get an over run. What I see and hear a lot of engines at idle and no over run.
  6. Pulling the clutch in then slowing down means no engine braking and extra wear on the brakes. Seems stupid to me
  7. Something I have noticed, Imagine you see a nice-looking bike; it's got all the bells and whistles, and a nice-looking exhaust. You see it going down the road, and it sounds great accelerating, but when off the throttle, no over-run sound? Another one, A Honda Wave once again with all the bells and whistles and exhaust, sounds great, but again, you hear no overrun? Now, a bike with a clutch lever can be pulled in so no overrun sound, but a Honda Wave? Do some Thais hit a neutral with the gear pedal? Regarding both, why do Thais do this? No overrun and just coast with the clutch in?
  8. The work permit was the main one. Then I used an agent. It was the agent who informed me not to use Bankok Bank.
  9. I have just got a new visa today. Couldn't use Bangkok Bank. My agent told me no, Bangkok Bank open another account with another bank. So I now have SCB and used it today for my visa.
  10. Went to SCB as I had to start somewhere. Ended up getting an account after what seemed like a long process.
  11. No chance now. Then there were no checks at the Eurotunnel. I had a van and it would be full of cool boxes full of meat.
