typical negative post. OTT. sour grapes and no help whatsoever. This post reply is just stirring up -baiting. Most of us are aware that an election is not on and hasn't been for a few months as things were.   What is the point of making a statement about holding one NOW ??  with a reply like this to add.

 

 

 

Pure drivel. Some folk should not be allowed anywhere near a computer.  This country is going end up like its western neighbour, the land of the appointed.  Where are the representatives of the people?, why are the uniformed ones going to decide everything, oh yes I forgot they are the ones with the bigger guns.

Sounds fair enough. I have a passport copy stamped by the British Embassy and I think I will now also carry a photocopy of my visa.

Might as well just carry your passport, save a lot of potential aggro. I'm in Bangers Monday for business will have my passport in jacket pocket.

"keeping your powder dry" springs to mind here.

Police said they were looking for her friend to find out the exact cause of the death.

Why? Is the friend a medical examiner?

Probably lost, somewhat, in translation.you need to remember that a lot of these articles are translated or written by non native speakers! Use your common sense and you will get the gist..the friend will help their investigation is what they are trying to say!..obviously. .

No doubt a lot was lost from the original Swahili report. They really do need to get some native Thai reporters on the job.

Frankly I was a bit lost after medical examiner, now if the friend was a pathologist.

Anyone living here longterm should obtain a Thai DL, this is sufficient ID so no need to carry passport. Whether shooting range permit suffices as is again Photo ID am not sure. You can get from Narasuan THB 300

not everyone drives, some have no wish to get on a m/c or behind the wheel of a car over here.

Used to work a lot with 12v batts in the back of landrovers and armoured vehicles for sigs equipment in my uniformed days. We were always taught remove negative first on disconnecting and positive first when connecting. A lot of squaddies learnt by their mistakes, as you do in life.

Yep, a trip to your local Somchai expert will sort you out,this is my 2010 (not a fcking champ) low boy.

Selling soon, waiting to see if the local Toyo dealer will be giving 4x4's away when the new Hilux is due.

Learn something everyday, new Brit passport due soon, courtesy of Trendy. Have 3 accounts with BKB. There again you can continue to draw money via an ATM with a BE1st card?.

I wonder why you all buy pickups actually ? Do you really need to carry motorcycles so often ? :-)

They are so boring to drive and their look is awful...

when they build some decent roads here, I will buy that nice Accord, Camry. Been on route 11 recently?, must be the worst bit of highway in Thailand.

 

You need to be very careful of these out comes , one wounders if the whole exercise is B/S, I would have thought very few military, perhaps 25,  the rest from the academic's, previous and present senior department heads and from the financial sector, what some of these military people know about democracy and good governance you could put on the back of a postage stamp,  this could turn out to be junta rule by stealth, not a good look General Prayuth.

 

Stealth? Hardly, see Interim Constitution Sections 44, 48.

 

well as long as everybody is happy, thats what matters.
 

I don't mix much now as I cannot stand listening to the inevitable crap.

Remember, even old guys may have been a tough guy in his younger days. Don't dismiss that, cos one doesn't lose that with age, it is still in the background...........

Old lion thinks it can still roar.

The mind is willing but the flesh and body aint.

Yes the above comes from the Thai wives of our senior citizens who tell me they havent had any in years.

There is always one who thinks he is still up for yet one last chance at the heavyweight championship of the world.

Once watched two old codgers going at each other in a Bkk bar, fighting over a girl, unbelievable.

Never take anything or anyone for granted.

Thats right trans, a lot of us have ex mil backgrounds, remember what the RSM used to say "bedside locker moves faster than sleeping soldier". I still know a few moves, the foxtrot, tango, oh fck that was in the Mess on Saturday nights.

Has anyone NOT read Private Dancer ?

wow, you take that as your guide to living in Thailand?.

My own record is 14 in the bed and 7 in the cab of a 2 door Navara.  The ones in the back slotted in nicely shoulder to shoulder.

If you have loose items or a load in the back of a truck, it must be secured with either a net or strapped down.

built two modest size houses here when 3 red bricks for a Baht. Just saying.

No alcohol sales on the 12th Mother's Day.

Source? The Queen's birthday is not normally a 'dry' day.

Scource - the miserable bitch who runs our local shop. No booze sold on Kings Birthday last year either. In our town the boys in brown go round checking too.

The first impression in headlightmag seems to suggest that all those ponies and torque do not really translate into the performance numbers that I was expecting. 0-100 11.62 sec. 80-120 : 7.88 sec (Hilux 2.5 VN does this in 8.10 sec.)

yes , a bit of a disappointment it does not at least match the BT50 and Ranger. Apparently they have improved the vn turbo. Will just have to wait for a performance road test.

The motoring journo in the BK English lingo paper has a good sentence in all his reports. "Buy or Bye" Could be a bye, try harder Nissan.

It was me, moron! I don't like red necks, I hate roast beefs,.... Etc.

Your not a Sunday Lunch guy then...?

roast beefs = French slang for Brits.

As I understand it was reported that she was late for the preparation for her contest. The excuse was that a member of the management team was supposed to call her, and did not. After having spent years preparing for this (and other contests) one would have thought that the athlete would have had enough self awareness and discipline to manage her own time and preparation. Evidently not, perhaps a personal display of Thainess? As it was she underperformed, failing both herslf, her team and her coach. She might have lost anyway, but underperforming due to personal tardiness is no excuse. That the coach physically punished her is of no consequence, in martial arts the teacher is the master, discipline is paramount. To fail through lack of focus at this level is personal and deserves some retribution. Then for the student to whine after being punished, unforgiveable, and shows complete lack of respect for the team, coach, country and no responsibility for her own bad attitude. To all those PC Richard Heads who complain about this, have they ever served as a student of serious martial arts, where the Master is to obeyed , without question, at all times. Where the object is to build inner strength, humility, self confidence, self discipline and a martial skill? I think not. If this girl is to be allowed to continue she needs to seriously analyse herself and rededicate herself to the skill, to suppress her ego and re-earn a place on the team, she has forfeited the right to an automatic inclusion, by her actions . If she fails , after having proved previously that she has the ability then it will be entirely down to her own lack of dedication.

Guess you have never studied and practiced any martial arts then?

It's not like the bad guy instructors in the Hollywood films.

I practiced Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indian and Malaysian martial arts, starting in the early 1970's. I have trained regularly with some very senior masters including Ip Chung, Terry O'Neil, Steve Morris, Derek Frearson, Dave Hazzard, Ki Ha Rhee, Ron Sergiew, and many more. Not once did I see any master or visiting master behave in the way you suggest is appropriate.

Of course you need to train hard, regularly , with discipline and effort to progress. But hitting students - not acceptable and not something a real martial arts master would resort too.

If you trained under someone like this, and accepted it, then sorry to say you are a Richard Head who learnt from one.

now we all know why you prattle on. Too many blows to the head. oh and Chuck Norris lives in Wichien Buri.

I agree with you on the current 178hp 5 speed auto Triton, its a much improved truck and would have considered it, if it had been around in 2010 when I bought my Vigo. A friend has the older version Triton and I always thought there was too much body roll on the twisty bits.

Recently I was at Pa sak Jolosid dam and a Thai Triton owners club where having a day out, all those trucks had changed the original wheels and tyres. Certainly looked good on the black trucks.

GBP at 53.61 this morning (BKB), dipping?

Not sure about the cheap service, maybe at the local Somchai car wash who do the odd oil & filter change service. My buddy has the 3L VGS truck and has it serviced every 5000 km. The bloke always appears to be at the dealers.

Cracking work thailaw on the analysis side, it gives any new potential buyers a good idea of what to bargain for

Yep, 890K THB for a Triton of all things seems to be pushing it a bit. For a few K more you could have the daddy of all trucks, the vastly superior Toyota Vigo Prerunner D4D 3L double cab auto.
