Advice sought on best small hatchbacks/cars
Xonax replied to Toolong's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Toyota Yaris is a great car and very easy to drive. Car manufacturers in Thailand, for some reason, tend to shut down production lines for several months at a time, making showrooms empty for some of the most popular models. I have been in the market for a Honda H-RV the last couple of years, but keep finding empty showrooms and no brochures available, every time I have visited a Honda dealer showroom. -
It really hate being forced to play Whack-a-mole on the phone, when you only have a few minutes to search for important news. The video pop-up is the most annoying add, since it takes a little while, before you are allowed to whack it and very difficult to whack it at very the edge of the screen. I have made it my specialty, to whack the pop-ups without noticing what the ad is about, since I am not interested in any kind of ads, unless they are guaranteed to make me rich.

Why invest in fancy toilets/handwashing facilities, when sewage water is freely available in every street? The photo and article is NOT from Thailand but from Malaysia, but who hasn't seen something similar in Thailand. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/malaysian-restaurant-caught-out-washing-plates-in-a-puddle-on-the-street/332PFP25C3AEQEJSBIQXBO4TBE/

Travel demand fuels a boom in Asia Pacific — in hotel rates
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The Honeymoon will be over again, as soon as we get past Songkran. I have given up travel this year, but I am happy to stay at home, rather than to support those greedy hotels. It is not just the hotel rates, but everything connected to tourism that have gone up, like car and bike rental, tours and even restaurant prices. -

I totally agree that voluntary prostitiution should be allowed. Even though this means, that women are allowed to financially abuse men, by selling what should be given for free. -

I guess that her boyfriend was unhappy with the baby, since he wasnt the father. -
Ukrainians and Russians rally in Patong against war in Ukraine

Som nam na! I don't feel any pity for the win rider. A 300 Baht fare for a few kilometers ride from Bearing to Central Bangna is a total rip-off.

Chalermchai Vows To Promote ‘Sex Toys Made In Thailand’ Campaign
Xonax replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Powerful people, including boys in brown uniforms, owns or benefits from the sex trade in Thailand. Legalizing sex toys would harm the industry of human sex trade, so off course the powerful people are interested in keeping the sex toys illegal. -
Song thaews should not be allowed in smaller sois with only one lane in each direction. They are upholding the traffic by driving 5-10 km/h and when they stop, they are blocking the whole lane, making the many impatient kamikaze-motorists eager to make a risky overtake in the often busy opposite lane.

Fortunately jet ski's are not allowed in Krabi. But meanwhile the polluting and very noisy Long-tail boats are allowed to roam all day near the beaches. We stayed in a Tubkaek (Krabi) beach front accomodation, but hardly had any peacefull time, before the next long-tail boat arrived and disturbed the peace.
