  1. 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?
  2. I feel sorry for the guy. Personally though I will never put vanity ahead of security.
  3. As Mark Twain said: "We have the best government money can buy" So nothing new here.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. I totally agree. If you don’t want to buckle up in my car, find another means of transportation.
  8. Yes, except they ban all they are afraid of before, not after the election.
  9. Sounds like the Russian Orthodox Church.
  10. This is the most insane proposal I’ve ever heard of. Might as well try to ban puberty!
  11. Because it’s much easier and cheaper to write a new law.
  12. Please elaborate. How do you mean Norway reacts? He’s being investigated, he will definitely be charged. What’s wrong with that?
  13. The pressure goes up of course. Therefore when I fill up warm tyres with 2 psi more than recommended I compensate for that. For cold tyres I follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. But I’ve never managed to get to a petrol station with cold tyres in Thailand.
  14. This sounds correct to me. Everybody should know that it only takes 3 km for the tyres to get warm. Therefore I always give mine (both car and mc) 2 psi more than recommended by the manufacturer as those recommendations are for cold tyres.
  15. I play Gassan Legacy and Gassan Panorama regularly. Legacy is the best of the two. Panorama is a bit boring Haven't played Gassan Kunthan in a while, but I love the course. Haripunchai is the cheapest of them all and it's always in good nick. The only problem is that it's a 9 hole course so you may be unlucky and get behind an 8-ball (only in Thailand ☹️). Then there is Alpine. Great course, but expensive.
  16. I live in Chiang Mai and not too far away from the DLT office. Every time I need to renew my licenses I drop by the DLT office, go to the information desk and they give me a check list with all I need for renewal. If practical for you I suggest that is the best way to get the information you need.
  17. Can't help with the UPS problem. But I wonder why you would buy this on eBay. You can buy the AirPods Pro 2 delivered direct to you address for THB 8990 including shipping. Or maybe find a better deal at a local shop.
  18. Of course there were things I never talked to my parents about. And they knew very well not to ask about those subjects. They did however set up boundaries and taught me what to do and what not to do. One of those rules was to not be a total jerk.
  19. Which indicates to me that his parents have totally failed.
  20. I was just gonna say that the authorities should take a trip to Vietnam and get the blueprints from them about how to solve this problem.
  21. If I had as much money as the OP is dreaming about I would buy a house in Monaco with a view of my yacht in the harbor. 🤣
