Bangkok Black

And again you cant fix stupid

Update, The saplings are still alive! So far, some seem to be doing better than others, but they are all still going.

There are more Chinese companies in Prachin than you think.

Oh I see, I did wonder lol Still seems f***ing stupid

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!

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.

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.

Pulling the clutch in then slowing down means no engine braking and extra wear on the brakes. Seems stupid to me

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?

no idea,agent did it all

The work permit was the main one. Then I used an agent. It was the agent who informed me not to use Bankok Bank.

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.

Went to SCB as I had to start somewhere. Ended up getting an account after what seemed like a long process.

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.

Ok SCB gets the first try,thanks

It wasn't at the time. We would bring back burgers, lamb, beef, sausages, bacon and more. All from a butcher.

Whenever one of us went back to England for a few days, there would always be a massive shopping list to take back and get all the items.Tea, HP sauce and a whole range of products, but the main item would be bacon ,thick cut from a butcher. English and German would both request it

I was there for 2 years. The usual bacon on offer was paper-thin.

Yes try getting properbacon in Germany lol

I did not know that

<deleted> all that other <deleted> off and have a Bavarian breakfast or Weißwurst Frühstück White sausage with mustard a pretzel ,and lots of Weißbier beer.

As it goes I do but it runs out soon.

Does anyone know what is needed to open a new account at either SCB, Krunsri or Krungthai? Things I have: passport, spare 4x6 photos, marriage certificate (I do not have a marriage visa), wife's ID and house book, Bangkok bank card and bank books, Thai driving licenses, and a Kaisikorn joint account with my wife. And of course wife will be with me. Anything else? Thanks in advance

Guess not ..... So today I planted out some young plants, they are about a foot high.See if they survive.

yes I have,from my Mrs (who is thai)
