Say one word and they don't understand. Use a sentence and I'm understood even if the structure and the tone used is incorrect.

"6" is a bugger, too.

I can have a bit of a conversion in Thai. It makes me feel( though I know I'm fooling myself) a little bit a part of society here. Nice to pass the time of day with the fruit seller and so on.

Agree with you. I've had thai expat since late 2012. Wouldn't change it for the world. Brilliant!!

Thai expat and YouTube are all I need together with my 22 year old JVC CRT TV is all I need. :)

I asked about WiFi and they wanted to charge me , so I went to the Thai cafe where WiFi was free.

Well, its American English so it often is confusing. In the UK we have Estate agents who handle the sale of property. The handle your estate upon death.

I know a few places. Where are you? Maybe I can help

Nothing new. Accidents waiting to happen is the norm here. 23 years here NOTHING improves.

What a pathetic uncaring society this country is. It was an accident. How about making the jetski operators have accident insurance? On no because no bugger would enforce that!!

Yes, racing round Joydens Wood in Kent UK trying to beat my mates C90, I was on my dads Suzuki 50 . didn't give a toss about safety
But that was 1978 ..

Why not just hand out something like this. I may well do it myself as I feel very strongly that helmets should be worn unlike the powers that be , who don't really give a monkey's.

Sent from my i-mobile_i-STYLE_219 using Thaivisa Connect mobile app

I see fewer riders wearing helmets now in my soi and even on the main roads of Bangkok than I did in the past. Nice idea but it won't be enforced by the BIB.

I have awful trouble adjusting myself to look to the left when crossing the road in Laos. I bet that is what happened here. Very sad. Though excess speed of the bike was proberbly also to blame.

Thais in my experience don't have a clue about tyre pressures. When I picked up my little Yamaha Spark from the dealer both tyres had over 50psi in them. That's why I NEVER leave home on my bike without my tyre gauge.

Dont worry you have still got the horrendous road kill to keep you happy, that will NEVER change

 
The bad motobikes are the 2stroke engines....
 
The rest drives 30-80 km on a litre...now try that for a car!
 
Also 5 times more motobikes fit on the road instead of 1 car...same goes for parking.
 
In big cities in the first world motobikes are THE vehicle to use for personal transport. Thailand should promote them but they even ban them...At the malls it's not easy to park a motobike, they should give them the best parkingplaces close to the door so more people start using them. Especially the ones who have a fortuner but absolutely can't park it.

In 23 years living here I have seen no real improvement. In another 23 years there will be no improvement.

If they can't use the pavements the motorcycles just use the bicycle lanes. I feel more unsafe on my push bike in the bike lanes than I did on the road.
Law and order is disgusting here.
Saw a policeman in the bike lane yesterday on his bloody motorbike.
Bike lanes have become a retrograde step. Who ever would have believed that everything done to improve matters makes them 10 times worse most of the time.

Got rid of them 4 years ago
Got a TV box from Thaiexpattv.com and haven't looked back

I was strangely quite pleased when I received a fine in the post with a photo of myself going over a flyover on my little Honda Tena on Ratchada pisek road for 500baht which I paid through the post office. If this is carried out correctly the country will be better off and maybe people will behave more correctly on the road.

Thailand is living in an early 1900's version of Europe in so many ways.
