So two young men come into your shop and want to sell you a watch worth 6 million baht without the box nor any papers and you say yes of course?

I feel sorry for the guy. Personally though I will never put vanity ahead of security.

As Mark Twain said: "We have the best government money can buy" So nothing new here.

I see nothing funny in this story. The tragedy is that this happens all too often. Tourists with no riding experience coming to Thailand thinking that renting a scooter or motorcycle here will be so much fun, many of them with no insurance or license. And then you have the shops that gladly give them the keys without even asking if they have a license. Recently I had 3 young visitors from my home country who were planning to rent scooters. Luckily they took my advise and abandoned the idea.

I try to follow my instructor’s advice from back in Norway: Remember when you ride a bike that everybody in traffic are blind, they are deaf and probably drunk. AND they are all out to kill you.

Amazing Where I come from, and I worked in the hotel industry, there are smoke detectors everywhere which are connected to a panel in the reception which is again connected to the fire brigade. When smoke is detected the alarm goes right away to the fire brigade. No telephone needed.

Very sad indeed. Condolences to his loved ones. i ride motorcycles in spite of my advanced age (77), but this is the reason I never ride after dark.

It’s always about Pattaya’s reputation. No mention of exploitation of very young kids!

At 77 of course I think about death now and then. But since I don’t believe in any of the so-called Gods humanity has invented I don’t talk much about. I wrote my will and try to live one day at a time.

Isn’t that what central banks do?

In the 18 years I’ve been riding bikes and driving cars in Thailand I have honked the horn twice, just one short sound and that was to alert another driver that maybe it was time to wake up so they could avoid a collision. When someone cuts me off, I just make room for it. No sweat, Almost always I’ll se that vehicle at the next red light.

Which proves that grown ups do exist in Thailand.
