LOL. You can't get an IDP without a valid licence, so just bring the actual licence as well. Never hurts to have as much documentation as possible in the event of a problem. The problems are not so much about the licence, but about not being insured and / or not knowing how to ride on two wheels in Thailand.

Actually it's always about making money. Is there any difference between a hospital refusing treatment without payment and a company making weapons to kill people? Western people have the notion that all hospitals are about the public good, but they are not. Private hospitals are a business, not a charity. Want lower cost, go to a government hospital, but in Thailand, even those want to be paid by foreigners as treatment costs and someone has to pay. I doubt the hospital workers will turn up if they don't get paid. Till tourist insurance is mandatory to be allowed into LOS, I guess there will always be those that think they don't need to be covered and then expect other people to pay for them when it goes wrong.

The chances of finding a "good woman" are at best a 50% chance. Feel lucky? I wouldn't spend that sort of money for a doll, but i'd spend whatever it takes to buy an android when they become available, except probably not in my lifetime. I'm not sure that they are actually "sex" dolls, as IMO they are just lifelike dolls that guys ( that want them ) dress up and pose. More a visual thing IMO.

It's rare to hear a politician these days say anything like that. It's more normal to hear them promising to give people goodies paid for with their own money ( taxes ) as election bribes.

WHAT are you on about? The GOP have barely moved into power in the house and you expect them to have dealt with that already? There is also that debt ceiling thing to deal with, which is of more importance than anything else at the moment.

and so far the legal rulings have been on the side of "right". No way she should be allowed back into the UK.

Perhaps she should have thought about that before murdering someone. The American law scene constantly boggles me.

Given the number of men that have had their lives destroyed by wives, are we supposed to sympathise with her?

You must be too young to remember the cold war and BAOR. Been there done that.

One wonders how Macron can sleep at night when trying to squeeze french retirees while promising to spend billions in Ukraine. I guess politicians live in a separate bubble from the citizens they exploit. IMO the people will eventually ( hopefully sooner than later ) force their governments to stop spending billions on weapons in Ukraine and start supporting their own people in hard times, which is their job- not making war in other countries when their own country is not under threat. When that happens it's game over for Ukraine and IMO they'll end up doing what they could have done a year ago- give up some land to Russia and guarantee not to join NATO, which would have saved a lot of death and destruction, not to forget the chaos imposed on the rest of the world. Going by the recent posts on this thread, the tide is turning against the politicians throwing money at Ukraine while times are hard at home. Not so long ago such posts would have invited a tirade against them.

I visited Thailand over decades, not a three week holiday once in a lifetime and I traveled a lot, so keep the sarcasm for someone that cares.

I really don't understand what the question should be, to ask. I just know the answer will be different as many times as women I ask. Am I really supposed to understand all women because I ask 10 of them a question? During my nursing career that spanned decades I must have worked with thousands of women, and all of them were unique. I had many interesting conversations while on night shift.

Perhaps you think they are going to mail them home? No way they'll fit in a backpack.

Seriously? IMO it's because Russia can actually hurt them, unlike the other countries they go to war in that have no means to affect the US mainland.

It's nothing to do with Thailand, so why should they condemn Russia? I can think of a different country doing basically the same thing that gets a pass by the west.

If I were a betting man I'd be betting on an out of court settlement. Money usually seems to mollify people these days.

Too late. Damage done already, and it's just a matter of time IMO, before our "civilisation" joins the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians etc in history books.

Sorry, I just can't take your post seriously. The inquisition ended centuries ago. How does believing in forgiveness and treating others as you want to be treated harm anyone?

To stay on a long term visa would they not be too old to be eligible for the draft anyway? I don't see how young guys can stay longer than a tourist visa.

More likely they do as many as possible ie rushing the ops. I wouldn't go near them myself. I knew an opthalmic surgeon in the UK that did them very fast ( too fast IMO ) but he was a consultant with many years of experience.

What's the follow up like if it goes wrong? Cheapness is not the thing to consider when dealing with eyes. We only get two for our entire life, no backups.

Apparently never used one where the "base" is the step to get onto the vehicle, also used frequently ( by myself included ) to stand on while the vehicle is doing 100 kph on the highway. Feel the freedom, love LOS! The bars to hang onto run the length of the back and are for the sitting passengers to hold onto. How are you going to get rid of them? Have you ever actually used one in a different city from Pattaya? They are not the same elsewhere.

It's not charging time, it's battery changing time. Given the lengthy stops on that line with diesel engines and having never arrived on time I doubt it makes much difference if they stop to change batteries anyway. Speed makes little difference as it's a single track system, and requires waiting for trains from the other direction to pass.

Some say that past and future don't really exist, but an infinite present moment exists Given that everything we are is based on electricity, how do we know that we are not just living in the NOW, and all our memories are not just manufactured? I'm talking about the Matrix.
