I've had 3 accidents here all with Thai (sorry one Laos) motorbikes not looking where they are going and driving straight into me while I and already mid turn.

First one run away on his bike, to be honest think he was scared of me. He got away due to traffic lights queue.

Second one stopped , but was the Laos kid, no insurance no money , no point carrying on. He admitted he was wrong.

Third one was a motorbike taxi ,drove straight into me undertaking at high speed while I was already turning into the wifes petrol station. He didn't know this and tried it on telling me money, money pointing at his scratched foot. Told him to F*** off. Told the staff to get my wife, when he realised what was going on he shut up and admitted it was his fault (said he wasn't looking although he also said he saw my indicator ) as he had no chance due to the money and influence thing that someone already pointed out. Insurance rep came asked for my photos that I took which show what he did and they handled it. He did have insurance and they paid.

CTH have the Nat Geo channel I think , must be dubbed into , will check later.

Do True still have the BBC knowledge channel ?

Oh Gawd ! We're never going to hear the end of this.

As I stated, lostinisaan, the radiator was very far from full - hence my refilling it with a hose - a process which took around 15 minutes with the car idling (as I think is the recommended method). However it didn't seem to be completely empty. As for 'how hot' the engine got - it got as hot as the gauge would go.

I have had fairly good luck with the 'shaggy' mechanic in question, and I don't really see any need to go to the dealer for a 22 year old Civic.

You mean it took 15 minutes just to fill up normally or you were doing it purposely slow drip by drip ?

Paragon department store sell Nat geo DVD's near the gift section, I presume they have Thai language as sold in Thailand.

I guess you shoiuld probably be able to find them in other mall DVD shops.

EDIT: near the stationary part, near Kinokuniya book shop.

You say you were never married are you now the legal father of your daughter ?

Trail markers.

A thread from a couple of weeks ago, may be of some help.

Not true. I've met many Thais that have common sense.

I can count them on my fingers and toes.

Are they next to the toilet on VIP buses ?

Anymore Hi-so crashes since the Shins went ? No ?

I remember when the trial was ongoing they were making excuses so the statute of limitation would expired. I'm guessing that is what happen and the cops family was paid so they won't press further charges. If they didn't accept the money, they will be empty handed either way with no money to fight the legal proceedings.

Not only that the cop who tried to cover for the kid was never prosecuted. With influential families, they can sway how the news are reported in Thailand too.

And the cop who stepped in and found all that evidence has resigned from the force.

Market is flooded at the moment (and probably for the next few years) with first car scheme cars people cant sell, be prepared to take a hit.

Brake failure stopped him swerving ?

Rubbish, yet another drunk Thai working as a driver.

The likelihood is (IMO) previous owners have not bothered with coolant and just put in plain water and something has rusted out.

If the cap is clean and you only see a small amount of water on the ground , check under the radiator for water gathered in the bodywork/chassis.

Holed radiator, loose or past it bottom hose.

Oh and check the radiator mounts/rubbers to see if it is moving and loosening the bottom hose.

If it is only slightly overheating and not steaming like a Liverpool fan this morning then where is the water going ?

Have you checked the inside of the oil filler cap ?

Beautiful place but with very little nightlife. One disco that goes on late. Obviously some other bars and restaurants.

Middle class Thais visit at the weekends so getting a room quickly is easier during the week.

I don't know if the oil spill is affecting it or not.

Sharing a speed boat is the best way across particularly if the ferry (I think there is one) doesn't go anywhere near where you are staying. Be prepared for the speedboat operators trying to not let the farangs share the cost of the boat.

I thought there were many ferries going from Ban Pae.

I think there are , but we've never used them so wasn't sure enough to write about them.

Always stay at the wifes school friends family business which is far from where the ferry lands so just get a speed boat.
