Out of interest, what is this 'over the top' compensation they're seeking? It wasn't mentioned in the OP. I need a laugh.
So you can have a laugh, 3,000 baht.
I realise compensation isn't a must and I don't feel offering something is nonsense. The sole purpose of offering "something" is purely & simply to keep the peace in our community. I understand the owners of the dog are responsible & are "trying me on" with request for compensation. I like living where I do & if it takes a very modest amount to keep everyone happy so be it. I don't have to agree with the idea of compensation, but sometimes compromise is the least painful option.

Thanks for most of replies so far. I haven't parted with any cash so far, just offered. I should mention that my next door neighbour who translated for me yesterday after the accident is Immigration police. His parting words as he left for work this morning.... "if anyone comes to talk to you about the dog, have them call me or come & see me tonight." At this stage, if compensation is a MUST.. I'm thinking of offering to buy them another dog & not offering cash. I feel what they are asking is over the top even for a "good dog". I'll keep you all posted.

Good morning all. I'll keep this as brief as possible. Some advice please.
Yesterday evening I was returning from the market on my motorbike. Stopped at intersection & had travelled about 15-20 meters, small dog-puppy came running out of a driveway. Bang, we collided. Stopped immediately & advised residents of the accident. Dog dead. Would appear my wheel-wheels run over its head. This happened about 100 meters from my house. With my next door neighbour as translator, I reluctantly, agreed to pay some compensation to keep the peace in the neighbourhood. Not accepted by dog owner. Dog owner going to report matter to police this morning. I'm now somewhat sorry I offered any compensation. I'm held in pretty good regard in the local community. I don't think the matter will gain "national importance", but TIT.

"Thais hate foreigners, always have, always will." Maybe your attitude has something to do with your feelings ?

Perhaps i could go as high as a mildly funny comment on a slow day. If you cant be bothered reading 3 paragraphs before cherry picking a paragraph out of context to show how clever you are I suggest you should combat your boring existence by having another drink and pick something else like your nose.
"If you cant be bothered reading 3 paragraphs" I've read shorter novels !

If you don't want to call Kasikorn, why not at lease email them to get the ball rolling ?

If that is the case, why not ban the consumption of alcohol?? There is nothing stopping me (or a canvasser, for example) form buying alcohol any time before 6pm tomorrow, and then throwing a huge party...????
Ah.... but that would take some forward planning !

100% agree
It is time Thailand modernised its attitude to roads - default should be all roads open to all vehicles with restrictions on motorways for scooters or motorbikes below 600cc
a far simpler way of doing things
I agree in principal. But 600 cc ??? I ride a Yamaha Aerox 155 cc & no slouch. There's plenty of 250's out there that will outrun most cars. But as someone posted, what's in it for the establishment to introduce change ?

The first gift we bought my father in law was a decent watch from Canada. Wasn't expensive to us but he loved it. Wore it all the time and it went to the funeral pyre with him when he finally passed.
Yep, way to go. I bought a watch for my FIL for birthday. First thing he did was go & visit his mates in the village to show it off. It doesn't have to be expensive.

No , the point is, again, for the last time, I would do what ever i could to stop my son being shot to death, for what ever reason, and you would not. Smacking your kids bum for stealing lollies, im an ozzie, or having him shot , in my opinion, are two different things.
"again, for the last time," I'm sure that there will be many here on TV extremely happy if you are good to your word !

If it was my kid, and I had the dough, I would have done the same as his parents, . Would you???
NO ! I'd use my dough to hire the best lawyers money could buy.. And somewhere along the way, hopefully teach the little shit something about morals & respecting human life & the law.

Only one point deducted for going through a red light? Seems ridiculously lenient to me.
"Sanook said this could be one point for going through a red light and three for not getting out of the way of an ambulance, for example. " Suggest you re-read the OP.

Sorry, have to disagree. No brown envelope needed for this. Just total lack of interest by the BIB.

Yes, the above is the filter. Easily removed, just unclips. Often just holding under a running tap will get rid of most, some, of the "gunk", if water pressure is ok. An old toothbrush will have it looking like new in a few minutes.

A quick Google search shows several from Hong Kong, Korea & China. I clean mine every few washes with a toothbrush. The tooth brush was purchased especially for this job, just in case there was a smart remark brewing !

Zinsano is a Chinese tool made under contract for the importer to Thailand of three brands of welders and a line of pressure washers. You might consider buying tools from brands with actual design staff such as Makita, Maktec, Hitachi, Metabo, DeWALT, Milwaukee. Even Pigeon a Chinese brand has tool designers for that actual brand. Zinsano has good marketing and their pressure washers with induction motors are worth serious consideration.
Thanks David. I had doubts about Zinsano being an Italian company. I'll give their router a go, it suits my needs. Thanks again.

Ok. I assumed it was a Chinese brand. I assumed everything was Chinese these days. Sounds like a Chinese. If Italian makes me a bit happier about the purchase.
Thanks.

Well Ducatti's and Ferrari's so I it would be fine.
I know I can be a little slow at times, but your comment has me stumped !!!

Good morning all.
Some advice please. I'm contemplating purchasing a few tools for my workshop. One brand of router interests me. Zinsano. I realise it's a low end brand & not expecting too much for my money. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this brand ? A miter saw might be on the shopping list a little later. Again thinking of Zinsano.
Thanks for any advice, comments..... Mal.

Hello all. Some advice please.
I'm not sure if such a product exists, but here goes. I have a good quality power drill. No speed selection, just variable speed via trigger. In most applications this is fine. Sometimes I use the drill in a lever operated press. In this application I need 2 hands. One to operate the lever to lower the drill & the other to hold piece being drilled. Yes, I know I should have it clamped but not always practical. When the trigger is fully depressed & held "on" with the button, the speed is at maximum. This is not always ideal for various reasons.
I'm wondering if there is such a product that I can use to control the drill speed ? Maybe something I can plug into the power outlet & then plug the drill into. If we were talking volume it would be an attenuator... I think !
Would appreciate any advice, suggestions. Maybe a product name or description I can look for on Lazada if not available locally.
Thanks all in advance..... Mal.
