can't wait to shove 20kg of Durian in the overhead locker

i guess there will be so many checkpoints for 'fines' that you won't get a chance to go fast enough to crash

probably like most guys, the first thing i thought of was to stop the wife talking but always wondered at the sequence of opening the car windows to quickly get the air out.

A/C tip from someone in a hot country to Brits about to get into their baked cars. Switch on the A/C and open all the windows. Drive like that for a minute then close only the front windows. One more minute, only then close the rears. This pulls the hot stale air out faster.

“Although this year’s longan production has dropped 20 per cent, the relative shortage also drives up the price, to Bt35 or Bt40 per kilogram rather than the Bt20-30 last year,” one official said.

doesn't help the 20% does it; if you have zero kilograms to sell it doesn't matter how high the price is.

how many 'big bike' deaths compared to smaller bikes? My guess is it would be lucky to be 0.1%. While any move to make the roads safer is good, it seems like they are deliberately avoiding the issue of where and why most of the road deaths occur. Some (not me) would disparagingly think they are only wanting to protect the upper end of society.

misleading headline again; no plans from the ICAO to make an aviation inspectors hub, just a wish that Thailand keep improving.

actually, i found the story a bit of an anti-climax

looking forward to see what the smart cars and smart bikes look like!

"ongoing training"

implies that they have experience in their careers anyway. ????

was there when the demo started. By the time the massacre happened i had just arrived in London and was watching it on TV. Bawled my eyes out thinking about all the young uni students i chatted to and had tea with who were so full of hope, they would have most definitely been involved and would've been rounded up if they survivied. I wish i did believe in hell so that the b*stard could burn in internity.

Wow, FIVE people.

only 400 Million Baht per person

looks very similar to the Toyota Sports 800, maybe a later version or modified?

Still needs fuel.  Sticky rice and lao khao,

if you get the wife to do it then lao khao not needed

i predict that an unknown mineral is found in Thailand of which one gram can power a large city for 1 year. Thailand will become immensely rich, so rich that the government will give everyone a free pickup and the price of petrol will be 5 Baht/Litre.

What do you expect from the driver whose IQ is about the same as the PSI tire pressure on his pickup...

is that why they pump their tyres up to 70 psi!

Love the reaction of the guy on the bike, the same sort of reaction i do now too.
