  1. Just to be clear; are motor cycles allowed on these overpasses? The ones I use on Suk have a (supposed) 60kph speed sign on them.
  2. Sorry I was not clear. Offering only a small bribe was not enough in the face of those huge penalties.
  3. Obviously not enough facing 'penalties reaching up to 10 years of imprisonment, fines up to 200,000 baht, or both.'
  4. There's loads of food at every wat - they feed it to the dogs.
  5. Hard to believe they uncovered nothing untoward. What a total waste of police resources, whilst 40+ people were being killed on the roads.
  6. Easily done, mistaking police for criminals.
  7. Eat or not. School your kids or not. What other option is there for a young mother who maybe didn't finish school; has been left with two kids when her Thai husband abandons her and his family?
  8. What happened to your 1st Kindle? Mine's over ten years old & in use every day. How long do batteries last & can you replace them in Thailand (Pattaya)?
  9. Thanks for this. My Kindle only accepts Mobi so I have to convert from PDF (Ocean of).
  10. I agree. 'Ocean of PDF' allows me to search for titles/authors to download for free!
  11. This should be an easy crime to crack even for Pattaya Plod.
  12. Bank staff are immediately aware of EVERY foreigner who visit their establishment and do their utmost to avoid serving them.
  13. It is part of a Wokism wave. I watch a lot of TV and it is a rare thing to see a heterosexual white couple. Lots of Crime series starring female leads taking down the bad guys with force. Macho men are few and far between.
  14. They persist in lying even when a video proves it. Is it a genetic thing?
  15. You are blindly optimistic. Because this is Thailand, the upper tier has a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card called baht. Only the low-hanging fruit are harvested by the police.
  16. TAT will not be happy with this. The Chinese have stopped coming because T/Land has a dangerous reputation. Wait till the Korean gets home and gives his version to the local press.
  17. Luckily he had just renewed his car insurance.
  18. Meanwhile on the roads another 40+ died while the police were busy with this crime.
  19. Love it. Since the demise of Rooster and the Mods refusal to let me fill his boots, Aseannow has been crying out for some verbal Milk of Magnesia to soothe the acidity of most comments on here.
  20. I've only read two of Lewie's threads and loved both. You can appreciate the style and humour without necessarily agreeing with the sentiments expressed.
