If I were the family of the dead policeman, I wouldn't even let these "people" in to "pay respect" to my beloved family member. Where was the "respect" when he was being dragged for miles under the speeding vehicle? This is just more hi-so poser B.S.

It doesn't work like that here. The Thai guy must go to the funeral, it's expected.

Even so, if I were a family member, I would probably vomit in disgust. The total lack of remorse is obvious in their faces. The dark glasses are probably being worn to hide their shame.

Just got notified that you guys had started a thread about me. Thanks for your concern. It might look like I am wasting my time hanging out at Tesco's but I am head of security. Next time you are passing say Hi.

It's Thai DNA to run from an accident. Now you take that DNA and cross it with a person raised with "superior" values and you get "premeditated murder' committed with impunity and the assurance that someone else can take the fall or it will just be evaporated." The decision to "drag" the possibly still alive policeman was an implicit decision and premeditation to "shake him loose" from the car at all costs and to scramble for the home fortress to concoct the alibi. The policeman on the motorcycle may have broken his neck and died near the time of impact but dragging his body dead or alive through three football fields of urban cement and asphalt would break the neck and do the job for sure.

On second thought maybe the average ordinary folks in Thailand run from accidents because the precedent was set by the rich, to whom the law doesn't apply. The law is for ordinaries among ordinaries. Not superiors "forced" on occasion to navigate in the filthy, stupid world of the ordinaries.

Maybe the spin doctors are already in place as they now say it was the motorbike which was dragged along not the policeman who was supposedly killed instantly.

There is no way the policeman went under the Ferrari after being hit at high speed while riding a motorcycle. And you can see where he impacted the windscreen.

Of course trucks shouldn't be parked there either. For those who don't know, close to Central a lot of trucks park on the side of the centre road running under the expressway. This is not the frontage road, it's the highway.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer, not compute in drivers head that a truck was laid up, so plough into it and hope for the best.

I got upgraded once, they gave me the menu, she came back and said,

''What would you like sir'', I said,

''That that and that'', she said,''

''You get all that in the h'orderves sir''

''Aaaaaaaaaaah Hastings, we must go to Nigeria at full speed and bring your service revolver''

''Good stuff Poirot ''

I use to post off term but some body hurt my feelings so i don't post so much now. there are some big bad posters on here.

We will administer 50 lashes, but seriously, if you jest, thats OK, but if you are serious then forget it.

Was it me. ?

The wheels are enameled at production. You cannot bring this wheel back to it's original state and match the others. .

OP is up to his/her par with this thread.

It's all computerized l would think. Sometimes just pulling off plugs and putting them back on will fix the problem otherwise it's a visit to a Nissan main dealer to be analized.

Would be very surprised if 2001 was all computerized I bet the speedo is still cable.

If its got the wheels that go round mechanically on the speedo then it is mechanical, if it has a digital read out it is electronic.

What is 200 kph?

"km/h" is official and "kmph" and "km/hr" would seem legit, but kph is out. Since kilo is only the equivalent of 1000, it needs the SI-unit combined to it to work - there is none in kph.

Kilo's per hour - kilograms? kilopascals? kilowatts?

Mods, please amend the topic accordingly.

No matter what country your in, give a kid a quick ride, whether car or bike, he will fool with it. I did as a lad, many of us did as a lad.

In UK highly paid foot ballers are crashing fancy cars cos they have the cash. It would be even worse in UK if it were not for the incredibly high insurance premiums for quick cars that Joe Blogs can't afford..

i don't know why but the newer proton apparently with lotus suspension came to my mind but can anyone clear this up? are the new proton models with lotus suspension a decent ride? hear alot of senseless bashing on protons but any owners or anyone who test drove the new models clarify this?

sorry, i only do first class. might try it out if they could upgrade my seat next to the captain

I moved to Thailand just so I could be more active n Thai Visa.

Jeez, you guys have obviously not been around much. Adding insecticide to give an extra "kick" to homemade alcohol is a rampant practice in Southeast Asia.

It's so bad in Cambodia (let's not even talk about India!!) that I refuse to drink the local hooch there. Dozens of people go blind and die in Cambodia each year.

It's a bit less of a problem in Thailand--as far as people going blind and dying--but the practice is still widespread. It is regularly added to yaa dong, sold on almost every soi in Bangkok. I learned the hard way about 8 years ago only to drink yaa dong at a vendor for which somebody can vouch for the purity of the product: once I inadvertently drank a few shots of yaa dong that was laced with insecticide...I spent the next day in bed with a pounding headache, and I luckily had someone to take care of me who knew the score. And I had no worse symptoms than that. From that time on I only drink yaa dong at vendors for whom friends attest to the quality of the product.

Anyway, insecticide in liquor is nothing new in Thailand. One should not be surprised that it got foisted on farang tourists, or that they died as a result. Sad, but not at all surprising.

Seems my previous warn has gone unheeded and I had to delete another unfunny post.

As a woman I don't find this funny, I find it a disgusting invasion of privacy and one you would probably also find not funny if it were your wife or daughter being spied on this way. Show some human empathy people.

And also many of us have tablets and phones that enable us to communicate on the internet whenever we have a few spare moments, no matter where we are or what we are really doing. And as CCC already stated, we village people have little other chance to interact with native English speakers.

I'm really watching a movie called 'The Dinosaur Project' but ducked out for a moment to make tea and check my emails.

I took notice of one poster and within one week over 200 posts. That is about 30 a day.

Don't know, what is most pathetic, the poster with 200 posts a week or the guy counting the number of posts ?

let's not hijack that utmost interesting thread! where were we? ah yes! so he bought a Chevy Cruze...

right.

I'm trying to start a Cruze club.

Who wants to be a member?

One way of bringing this thread to an end, ask for people of a similar ilk. By the way see a reasonable amount of Chevy badges on my trips up NE, Cruze or not, I can only vouch for not a pickup.....

PS. Naam , had you picked for a Beemer or Merc, still a classic ride though.

Cheers

But the doctor has no name.

Wow, 1000 Baht! Bet that really made him wince.

I got fined twice this amount for a late 90 day report.

Who decides on appropriate fines for oversights vs. this kind of professional misconduct? If this happened in Europe he would be in serious trouble.

When you guys are waking up?this is NOT Europe - great fully
