  1. Once again a thai driver that wants to do what they want, when they want and sod everyone else. Make him pay for everything, and if he can't do that, then its prison time then ban him from driving again.
  2. Dont have breakfast. Solved. 2 beers a day is still enough to inhibit some fat loss. Seems at the moment your efforts are lackluster.
  3. dont forget to every girl there is usually 2 dudes not far away watching.
  4. I would like to wear shorts and either a vest or tank top but I get bitten by every insect so its trousers for me.
  5. ah ok,no cheaper with a pass.got it
  6. I go from Prachin to BKK a fair bit. 304,365,314 then on the 7 for a short section then onto the Bang Na - Chon Buri Expressway. 10 baht then 55 bahtone way. Would it be any cheaper with a pass card? I could use the 3001 and bypass the tolls but the 3001 is a horrible road because of the poor road condition.
  7. I saw this on the Yamaha Finn Facebook group. The rider gets off the bike, with no number plate. no surprise there!! And runs off to get the rocks, throws them at the pickup truck, and then rides off like a big man does.
  8. Good old Prachin Buri and the 304 road in the news. Again for all the wrong but usual reasons. That section of the 304 is usually truck rollover alley with brake fade the common reason. I have driven that section a few times and like most of the 304 some of it is in a poor condition. As for the coaches (where I am from its a coach not a bus, a bus wouldn't be that type of body) I have seen in the recent past a convoy of 10 coaches just like the crashed coach on the 304. All driving in the outside lane and refusing to move over. They caused miles of tail backs. Other times I have used the 304 I have seen coaches bellowing black smoke and others that just should not be on the road. But nobody cares Give it a week and this crash will be forgotten about just like the coach that caught fire last year. Then wait for the next big crash..........
  9. Nobody cares. Thats it. Nothing will change.Move along,next story
  10. I see these minivans daily being driven badly; these incidents aren't a surprise
  11. I have a Wise card and will be taking that and may also change some cash at swampy on the way out. I have Torguard VPN
  12. As I said its a paid trip. All I need is some spending money.
  13. Thanks I will check out AIS
  14. Febuary my wife and I will be going to China for 5 days. It is a paid-for trip with flights, hotels and tours and part of a group trip. I have applied and had my visa application approved.I just have to collect it on the 10th of Feb in Bangkok. Has anyone here been to China recently? i have a few questions. Did you change money in Thailand at Super rich or in China? I have a Wise card, did you use your Wise card in China? Does it work? Mobile phone, Does AISor DTAC work there? Or did you rely on Wi-FI ? I am a UK passport holder and have a thai work permit, did you have any problems with immigration going/coming back to Thailand and in China? Any tips and advice are welcome.
  15. I can get bitten all over by mosquitoes, those small sand flies and you name it. And I do mean all over ,: head, neck,fingers , hands, arms legs,feet. It usually starts when I leave the house within 10 seconds of stepping outside.I am not joking. I don't get left alone; my wife can't believe how bad I get it. When we are out somewhere and spot a nice place to eat for example usually I cant go there if it means sitting outside.
  16. I used the MRT and BTS twice this week instead of the NMAX to get some free rides.
  17. Riding against the flow of traffic eh, standard riding allover Thailand but they never learn
  18. A Common problem with Nmaxis the ABS pump going wrong.A pricey item to buy. When you look on facebook market place a lot of bikes i have seen have the ABS warning light on. Also, you see a lot with the engine management light on and when on the centre stand the back wheel will spin very fast and the engine has a knocking noise. Look at the photos of bikes for sale carefully ,also ask the seller if the ABS works.
  19. you could get one of those USB hub thingies I got one for my laptop, it goes in a USB slot and has 4 USB ports, problem solved. You can get ones with more ports if you want
  20. Think I will get the Mrs to contact them. On their website they stop at Phanom Sarakham, so I think the coach goes past me on the 304 to Phanom Sarakham. Then it says it will stop in Pattaya.
  21. I saw one of the said coaches today as I came out of the moo barn. I had an idea where it might stop so I parked the car quick and managed to ask the driver if he goes to Pattaya. At last, I was thinking I can find out! But this coach doesn't goto Pattaya ..... damn it 555
