  1. I always felt safe on trains in Thailand, but I will think twice next time. Anything bad can happen and will happen sooner or later.
  2. I have an expired Thai DL and will rent a car during my stay in Phuket, what are the odds of being pulled over? I do have my Norwegian DL but it's not in English.
  3. I remember I knocked my head on a glass door in a condo I rented , I did not see the glass door, it looked open to me (entrance to the building). It did hurt a lot .
  4. Yes that video is clear evidence, case closed. But 3 teenagers on a bike and no helmets is like playing Russian roulette. They lost.
  5. Better protection than the cheap plastic helmets they sell at Big C.
  6. Someone should hand over a peace prize every time he says he solved another war. He could get 100 of them in a year.
  7. This is the problem with social media these days, you can make a fortune if your video goes viral and this video was probably different and he could easily get 10 million views and earn a small fortune.
  8. Yes as long as you do not get electrocuted , it happens from time to time
  9. I read on the Phuket airport site that the Airport bus to the beaches and Phuket town is only 100 baht . It leaves every hour so no need to get involved with the mafia. https://www.airportbusphuket.com/
  10. Yari is a Russian name, the account was opened in September. He is trying to earn money and live in Thailand far away from Putin's army. The videos are clearly breaking the Youtube rules about privacy. I hope they will catch him soon .
  11. They need some help to solve the problems in their brains. Mental issues is not easy to fix, especially not in Thailand.
  12. That video does not tell me anything, please can we focus on more important things?
  13. I have seen Russian vodka drinking soldiers in worse shape than this lad, he'll be sent to the frontline the moment he set foot in Russia.
  14. Don't come back , hope they give her the full treatment.
  15. I wish Thailand could copy Singapore laws when it comes to class 2 drugs such as cocaine. 30 years in prison and you get rid of the idiots.
  16. What happens if you show an outdated Thai DL if stopped . It worked last time.
  17. Buy a cheap tent and live on the beach for a week, 150 baht daily is no problem, plenty of Thai food available. Maybe even lose some weight and you will feel better. That's what I would do if I were in the same situation, I would not try to beg money from anyone.
  18. Yahoo mail is still alive, I was a bit worried there.
  19. At least he's still alive to live another day, let's hope he makes it to 100!
  20. balo replied to georgegeorgia's topic in Pattaya
    Suicides is a worldwide problem. I do not believe Pattaya is any better or worse even if you read about it in the news every month. In the UK just in the last 4 weeks 2 famous men took their own life, they rarely report suicides in the UK. But it just shows it's happening on a regular basis. If you are depressed there are help available as already mentioned in this thread.
  21. Where are the sign for Russians not allowed? Would like to see that.
  22. So 99 baht breakfasts still exist in 2025? Fascinating....
