Most thais don't drink wine. Question is did they freeze SangSom prices?

I guess you dont know most Thais then!

Volcanoes!

Should have let the locals deal with it - job done!

Ain't there a restriction that 15 years can only drive up to 110cc before they're 18?

I thought it was only up to 90cc at 15 which turned out to be worthless as Thailand no longer make or import 90cc bikes.

Gentlemen, let's have your bids on the table!

My take on Makro is they will build on the new site next to Thaiwatsadu and the wet market will be on the very large site west of Bangkok Bank

That is indeed where Makro is going.

The site beside the Bangkok Bank has all been split into lots which are marked out and up for sale , roads and drainage in between them going in now.

You never give any sort of contractor here all the money in advance. A small deposit maybe. If he is known to you. I do agree it is hard to get money back from most Thais.

 

The tale of the One Way store. Great stuff. You could not make this stuff up, if you tried! I went to a local mini mart. Bought six bottles of soda water. The old guy told me I had to pay 5 baht deposit, per bottle. I said ok. Went back with my bottles later, and wanted to buy some more. He quoted me a price that did not take into account my 30 baht deposit. I said I get the deposit back, and then pay you for the water, right? He said no, the deposit is one way! I would have been upset, if I was not laughing so hard. I said no, this farang is one way, that way, and never come back. I took my bottles and left. It was well worth it. Have been telling that story to my friends for weeks. We all love it!

I have had hundreds of these kinds of encounters here in LOS. Always amazed by them. There is a complete disregard for the future, for future patronage, for the idea of loyalty, and rewarding you for such. It has happened with merchants I had been dealing with for years. Over tiny amounts of money. Of course, they lose me for life. But, they do not seem to care one iota.

I am a business owner. I will do nearly anything to retain a loyal customer. Whatever it takes. A full refund, an exchange, just tell me what you want. Here? None of that. Tomorrow? Why think about tomorrow, when I can make an extra 30 baht today?

 

Ah.....thats why wholesalers call it Soda one way!

Water is far too shallow, feasibility study finished - where do i collect my fee?

I have seen very few, if any average Thais with a 30k baht phone. Stop talking rubbish.

You need to pay more attention then.

 3 or 4000 for a car seat to protect your child v 30-40,000 for a new phone so you can take selfies....

I wonder if they brush their teeth after each meal.  Must have some serious bad breath in that cult.

The term "potty mouth" just took on a new meaning!

You must be moving at quite the rates of knots to be thrown from the cab of a truck.

Not really, it is the sudden stop that does it

Stick to beef dripping!

On Highway 7 from Banchang up to Bangkok it's quite common to see fixed 120Kph and lighted 90Kph signs within a few hundred metres of each other. I've often wondered whether the 90Kph lights are just advisory,  or whether anyone's been fined for exceeding that speed. I mostly ignore them.

On all motorways the limit is 120, the 90 signs are advisories only, if you notice they will be when approaching bends, and these crazy humps you get closer to Bangkok, off junctions and joining lanes. 

You will not get fined for doing more than 90 in those sections.

Mother got paid, suspects paid bail and out on the loose........all sorted then!

I’ve seen the video of this on the facebook page ‘Bad driving Thailand’... 

 

There’s nothing confusing about the junction at all... 

 

A larger trailer lorry was travelling straight on. 

The girl turned left without looking and pretty much rode straight under the wheels of the lorry. 

 

The cause: The girl simply did not look. 

 

It's not that she pulled out and the lorry failed to stop and hit her. She rode into the side of the lorry !!! she simply did not look at all.

 

 

Yep, i saw the video too, no grey area here she just drove straight into the side of the truck!
