  1. Loved the above comment. Did you ever try Choengmon Beach? It was not very well known back at the turn of the century and back then, they did not allow tables on the beach. The tables only happened some time in the mid 2000's. There was only had a single track road to Chaweng back then. Great beach but again, no sunsets. Still nice and quiet. Wifey said to me 'I don't care where I live but I want a pool and sunsets'. Sunset from my place.
  2. So the truck only crashed in one vehicle, which in turn crashed into the next one, which in turn............. Resulting in 27 damaged vehicles. Pretty impressive though.
  3. The monsoon season can be dangerous at this time of year there on Samui's east coast.
  4. It did not 'record the accident'. The phone was recording him and stopped working as it hit the road. This is the recording. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/british-tourist-left-nothing-terrifying-230000641.html
  5. Glad to see that my favourite beach does not get a mention. It will stay nice and quiet for a bit longer. I do not think that the pier is there any more. Then again, I rarely go to Fisherman's Village.
  6. He was riding two handed. The phone was attached to the bike - pointed at him. But that does not mean that he was looking at the road - or the phone. We will never know.
  7. This according to Khaosodenglish อ่านข่าวต้นฉบับได้ที่ : https://www.khaosodenglish.com/featured/2024/11/27/french-womans-thai-maid-loses-inheritance-in-koh-samui-nominee-probe/
  8. I am surprised that there aren't more accidents with delivery bikes and Grab bikes. The riders are always looking at their phones whilst looking for their destination.
  9. Cathay's recover is taking longer than expected. China has lots of planes and quite a few airlines. Cathay is Hong Kong. It has history. China will not be unhappy if Cathay fails.
  10. The air is fine down here on Samui.
  11. Silly me. And I thought that it stood for British Broadcasting Company. Maybe it is going woke and should re-brand? PBC or MBC?
  12. From the BP reported previously and again today - they are going to investigate less than 27,000 possible nominee juristic persons in this crackdown. And that is across all five sectors. There will be more nominees than that owning villas, just in Phuket. They are not after every Tom, Dick or Harry who has bought a pizzy little villa in Nakhon Sri Nowhere. I am not an expert but I do read and comprehend.
  13. The grandmother didn't. They both fell in the water together.
  14. Ignore the innocent children and save the friggin cat. Despicable.
  15. Catch the culprits, blindfold them and make them walk over the planks every day until they promise never to do it again.
  16. Interesting times. First, she wants to tell the BOT how to manage its money. Now EGAT.
  17. I suspect that the foreign boyfriend was a tad embarrassed to have been found out. Could have led to an interesting conversation.
  18. This could become interesting seeing as TAT is actively 'recruiting' foreign influencers in order to promote Thailand overseas.
  19. My Yamaha Neuvo - three days and I had to kick start it (hard work). My Honda PCX - a month or two - no problems. Friend had a small Yamaha Mio - terrible problems after just couple of days. He gave it away in the end.
  20. The guy lost 2,000 baht in cash and a ring valued at 40,000 baht.
