Not sure if I'd want to try a Heimlich maneuver in Thailand, especially on a Thai. Could end up getting the blame if it's not a total success, and where there's blame there's a claim.

I'd like to buy some e cigarettes as new years gifts for my newly aquired Brother in laws, fed up of listening to them coughing. Anywhere around town I can buy them ?

Headline says Irish and the background story claims he was from Newcastle England. Investigative journalism at its best.

Also one headline says he jumped and the next headline says he fell.

Two very different things, if you jump its suicide, but if you fall its an accident.

And if he was pushed its murder.

People jumping from high buildings generally tend to fall downwards, something to do with gravity, Isaac Newton and apples.

Who designed that, Somchai Von Braun ?

Will it be nuclear, diesel, or after delivery will the Thais install a gas cylinder and put one of those green LPG stickers on the back ?

Was off for 2nd night running last night where I am off Soi Kaotalo.

Never trust a nation that habitually cheats at cricket.

Wonder what his thoughts would of been upon stopping someone on a motorcycle in UK without insurance and possibly no crash helmet whilst in his previous role as a Police Officer. My thoughts go out to his family but if anyone should of known better!

so he retired there happy days nice pension for 2 years gets in big trouble and now wants to come home so that the british tax payer picks up his health care bill for life house him feed him this country the uk was not good enough for him he left so now he and the family why he there and the rest uk want us to foot his bill some times in life people can expect a little to much mind you proberly not him its the family want him back how much did they give to poor poepl i wonder we dont know so wont judge that one

Since he retired at only 52, fair to assume some kind of disability-pension, which didn't prevent him from driving motorbike on Koh Chang!!

Karma?

Police in the UK of his age can retire after 30 years service so may well of joined at say 20. Having said that many police retire early on medical grounds, like the guy I knew who retired with pension and £800'000 payout at about 35 after being run over and found unfit for duty, he subsequently spent a lot of time playing in a local football team. You then get the police who are accused of misconduct and suddenly retire with pension due to ill health.

My advice for this guys family would be an appeal through the police association.

The 7-11's and Family Marts on Walking St will be down on sales of big bottles of Chang, shouldn't have any effect on bars though.

There have been many more war crimes committed by the Empire, since WWII, which are barely given any coverage and no Nuremberg trials, yet Nazis are still being waved at us on an almost daily basis. No prizes for guessing why.

Which Empire to you mean : the Soviet Empire?

Think he means the Empire in the Star Wars films.

See same thing at railway crossing on Soi Kaotalo yesterday, Thais riding through no crash helmets 3 to a bike no problem, Farangs riding through wearing crash helmets stopped by so called police.

Thanks for the offer OmegaRacer but I need a right sided silencer, also trying to eliminate all flaws in my bike so no dents.

I really like the one from faddy, think it's maybe the same one motolanna offer. Got the other half to call them in Bangkok and they dont sell them in Thailand, only for export and only in bulk. Amazing Thailand.

Just rememberred why I joined thaivisa in the 1st place http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Visitor-Visa...ts-t120771.html

Maybe that'll put your bargirl jibes to an end but I won't hold my breath on it.

I never made the vid to prove anything to anyone, it was my girlfriends new camera and it was her who wanted to make a vid, I put it on youtube to share with others not to try and impress anybody. I really couldn't care less what anyone on here thinks about my vids or my riding, my only real problem with what was said was that so much of it was untrue and seemingly pulled out of someones arse, but then jumping to conclusions and passing judgement is pretty much par for the course on thaivisa, as I said in my 1st post my girlfriend is not a bargirl and never has been, maybe you guys assume that other guys girlfriends must be bargirls because yours are or use to be but me I'll always hold my tongue on such matters until I know for certain and not just use the equation 'Pattaya + girl = bargirl'.

Btw, if I don't reply to any more of your superior posturing it's not because I'm lost for words, it's because I stopped posting on here over a year ago, I only logged back in to reply to something someone referred me to that I felt needed addressing and stumbled on this thread after doing so. Cant say as I miss this place much and think I'll stick with my initial decision as I prefer the company of people not so judgemental as on here and I'm not talking about your opinions of my vid. In the words of Jesus "let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone"

Y'all take care now.

Keebone, considering you claim to have all this riding experience, none of it shows, that was a terrible ride & you should really wake up to yourself.

Well we're all guilty of a little bit of over exuberance at times

You know for a second there I thought there was a rival helmet cam bouncing around Thailand, then I saw he'd taken the easy-option!

He looks a twt for riding with fck all gear on! Not even layers!

I think I saw this a while ago come to think of it.

It's typically the 'rent-a-bike for the day with BG on the bag' crowd and then film it on youtube

I'm gonna hunt the clip down now and fire off a video response! Show him how it's really done

You seem to have a very high opinion of yourself or at least your vids, lets face it they're not exactly Mike Hailwood at the Isle of Man TT.

this guy is a jerk , i watch the others vids when he drive in pattaya and on the beach, His girlfriend scare and ask him to stop but he dont give a dam_n

Imo, he never drive a motorbike in thailand.

My advice : he really should wear a real helmet and learn to drive a motorbike because he such a newbie.

Newbie ? I had my 1st motorbike when I was 8 yo which is 31 years ago, raced motocross for many years, rode on the road since I was 16, worked as a motorcycle courier in london and rode bikes in Thailand for 15 years. I may be many things but a newbie is not 1 of them.

And the bit in the vid on the beach where my girlfriend asked me to stop was nothing to do with riding fast, it was about riding through 6 inches of seawater.

I'm confused!

So this is supposed to be impressive how?! Firstly he ain't exactly going fast, secondly why in gods name would you want to ride 'fast' on the road in a CRM250?? 90mph and had plenty in reserve - yeah and right now pink buffalo has just done a fly by past my house! Two people up on a CRM250 you'll be pushed to reach 90mph - it's a single cylinder 2-stroke for god sake!

I remember kids in school always boasting about reach 50mph on there 50cc . .. . even though we all knew unless it was down a 1 in 4 gradient with a 10mph wind behind them it was impossible!

An A1 tosser.

Never posted it to impress anybody, just thought I'd share it same as all the other vids I posted.

Yes a CRM250 would be pushed to do 90mph 2 up, but then that is exactly what I said in the info to the vid if you'd of bothered to read it properly, I quote "get up to about 90mph when the road is clear which is pretty much flat out sitting upright with passenger". The bit about keeping plenty in reserve was about the riding style not the top speed.

Btw, I had a Garelli Rekord when I was 16 and it would quite easily do 50mph, 60mph in the right conditions.

Saw that VDO a while back, out here the corporate network blocks youtube what joy that is

Anyways I thought his comment below that he was an experienced rider so what he did was safe was the best of all with that VDO.

I chatted with him and he was a tourist on a rented Pattaya bike driving in an area he never been to before, and actually he start the VDO at the Hat Mae Ramphung intersection follow Sukhumvit a bit then turns to route 36.

So unknown road, unknown rules, rented bike, a passenger (bar girl he barely knew and not knowing her well enough to ride really fast with, who was hand holding a camera in one hand), almost no safety gear and claiming to be experienced and safe is pathetic.

Hope none others follow his example...

Lets get a few things clear:

1, I have never chatted with you. I'm guessing your maybe the guy called 'rayongracer' who left a comment on my vid telling me how it would only be a 300 baht fine for speeding and that "you can slide them 200 baht and you don't get the hassle"

2, I was not on an unknown road, I've done that journey many a time with both bike and car on journeys to Rayong, Chantanaburi and Koh Chang.

3, The girl on the back is my girlfriend of 5 years, is not a bargirl and never has been.

Yes the bike was rented, I get the same bike long term whenever I'm over and that vid was taken in the last few days of a 3 month visit so I had hardly just swung my leg over it.

Now if you all want to flame me then go right ahead, but keep it to the known facts and don't invent stuff for effect.

Have a nice day

Frankly - its none of your business where I live - I stand by my claim it takes 60 minutes to get to Bumrungrad and 45 mins to BPH - a journey I do countless times every week. I will let you try and work it out if you can but I wont be awarding any prizes. Technically I do not live in Pattaya, but I do live in the general area of Banglamung.

It's not often I'm amazed but this is 1 of those rare occasions. The district of Banglamung starts just south of Laem Chabang which would be its closest point to Bangkok, the distance from Laem Chabang to the Bumrungrad is around 120km whilst it is about 15km to the BPH. To get from anywhere in Banglamung to the Bumrungrad in 60 minutes you'd have to average about 120kph whilst negotiating toll booths and some of the worst traffic in Bangkok, to cover the 15km from the point in Banglamung that is furthest from the BPH and closest to Bangkok in 45 minutes would be an average of 20kph.

All I can say is that there must be a very strong southerly wind blowing on the countless times you do these journeys every week.

if I got ill at my house in Pattaya, I would go straight to BKK and bypass BPH completely.

Absolute bollex....if you where having a conorary, stroke etc ...you would go straight to BKK...??? .....BS

Well I have done it before - the time it takes to get to Bumrungrad is 60 minutes for me from my house and about 45 minutes to BPH - to me its a no brainer but I was actually talking more about non life threatening illness as opposed to a life threatening illness - in which case you would of course try and get to the nearest half decent hospital. Been to both many times and would not choose to go to BPH - maybe thats a better way of explaining it.

Please tell me exactly what area of Pattaya your house is in if it takes you 45 minutes to get to the BPH, which of course is in the far north of Pattaya and yet only 60 mins to get to the Bumrungrad. To be able to do that I'd say you'd have to live around Chonburi city but as you stated your house is in Pattaya.
