  1. I edited my post. I'm pretty sure that operating as an illegal taxi would invalidate any insurance. But I stand to be corrected. Lots of things are pot luck in this great country. Best to have some personal insurance cover, just in case.
  2. Out of interest I just looked up (on Google) how much compulsory insurance cover one can expect if in an accident in a licenced Thai taxi. It's 30,000 baht! https://www.nationthailand.com/life/30279525 And, according to this article, official Grab taxis have (or will have???) 500,000 baht cover ... https://www.grab.com/th/en/press/others/thแกร็บ-ผนึก-ทิพยประกันภั/ If it is true that the woman was operating an "illegal" taxi, there will be zero insurance cover.
  3. Not drifting, but similar. Looks like great fun.
  4. If you started and finished at the same point you must have had 241m of descent too. Freewheeling with your feet off the pedals.????
  5. Whoever wrote this did not know the price of good cheese in Thailand.
  6. I prefer to think that MFP supporters want to rise above the violent red and yellow ways of violence and disorder. No good has come from any of it, regardless that it may have been justified. I sincerely hope that the MFP will disrupt parliament in every lawful manner they can until a fresh election is needed, which they must surely win by a landslide.
  7. Great snaps Owl. It's amazing what good quality photos can be taken, even on cheaper phones. And you don't even need the visit the chemist's to get them developed.
  8. The oven and the pizzas look great. I just had a quick google to see if anything similar is available here ... https://pizzaoventhailand.com/garden-pizza-oven.htm Look like good quality, but eye-watering prices. A few on Lazada ... https://www.lazada.co.th/tag/pizza-ovens/ Most look pretty shoddy, but priced accordingly.
  9. @Confuscious has confused a few members. My brain hurts after reading some of the replies..
  10. This thread is about your table cloth ????
  11. Recipe please. When I'm visiting my mum in the UK I often have a takeaway from a nearby Indian (maybe Bangladeshi ?) open kitchen. I have watched the chefs preparing the food while I wait. They just grab a blackened wok from a rack, add a number of spices from a range of jars (no measurements - just a spoonful of this and that) toast the spices, add the base gravy from a tub. The meat, of course, is already part-cooked. It seems that the base gravy is used in every curry. I have tried (with varying success) to cook Indian curries from scratch, using ingredients from Zing Street and other sources. Some (most) have been quite okay, but I can't reproduce the precise taste of a British Indian curry. I'm convinced that the base gravy is the missing link.
  12. I agree. But because I'm pedantic I have to point out that the chance of winning the Thai Lottery jackpot is exactly 1 in 1 million.
  13. In the linked article it is more like a small songthaew.
  14. Fear of a defamation lawsuit maybe, Revealing the name would possibly damage their reputation.
