  1. Why? 120kph is nothing special on metre gauge. Even in Thailand the red line does 160kmh on metre gauge, Elsewhere around the world 130, 140, 160 is common. I am no fan of metre gauge and think any new line should be standard gauge - I have no idea why the red lines are metre gauge as they are electric and were built from scratch - but these are upgrades to existing lines so metre gauge it has to be to maintain compatibility. If built properly with good signaling then 120kmh shouldn't be a problem.
  2. Of course you wouldn't, Thais are all out to get you, boo hoo. Your posts are full of anti-Thai paranoid nonsense. Sad isn't it? So how many things have you had stolen out of hotel rooms over the years? I'm gathering it must be a lot. Please do tell us the details.
  3. Emirates A380 business is 1-2-1 with tons of privacy (especially in A or K seats). Emirates 777 is generally 2-3-2 which is very poor for business class as you don't have direct aisle access. Their newest 777s are 1-2-1 in business too but these are pretty rare and don't fly from here. Just flew back from the UK today on Emirates - unfortunately in economy as with the whole family - and we had a 777 from Stanstead (it was significantly cheaper than Gatwick or Heathrow) and A380 from Dubai. In economy there isn't much difference although the A380 is a better / smoother / quieter plane. But in business there is a huge difference. Also nobody has mentioned the bar on the A380 which is a brilliant place to spend time. If I am flying business it is A380 or nothing. Amazingly there were maybe 60 people on the flight so it was a huge empty A380 and we could all pick a row to sleep on. After Covid when Emirates were asking 170-180k for business return to the UK I went instead with Oman on their 787-800 and 787-900. A better seat and cabin then Emirates, better food (I don't particularly rate Emirates' business class food) but the service not as good as Emirates, but worth considering as it was good value and had a similar layover time but they only fly to Heathrow I think.
  4. It makes you wonder about the agenda of people who post these anti China fake videos. Are they just racists? Or Americans upset about the rise of China and Chinese industry? Or something else?
  5. Utter rubbish. For all their faults the Thai Police show amazing restraint in most situations and should be commended for it.
  6. There are professional pogo stick competitors too - doesn't mean grown men should go around pogo sticking.
  7. There is nothing in the article to suggest the surgery was "botched". He shattered his femur in many places and now he lives with the consequences - the surgeons saved his leg. The headline is misleading and should be amended: Man left with one leg shorter than the other after a motorbike crash left his leg shattered and Thai surgeons fixed it.
  8. The UK has not banned Russian tourists, nor has Greece or Spain. Brilliant. You are the one who brought up the gassing!! Then when I tell you that we (the West......more specifically the US) supplied him with the gas and twice vetoed a UN condemnation of the atrocity then suddenly it is irrelevant to the thread. You are a classic. Anyway, irrelevant to the thread but I just had a lovely piece of gammon for dinner, and I suspect you might have had too.
  9. You do know where Hussein got his gas from right? And you do now that the US vetoed the UN condemnation of the gassing. Twice. Amazing that some people are so blinkered that they actually tripe like your post.
  10. Just another pathetic article with basic errors in it. They are the norm these days, pretty much every single article posted here will have such a fundamental error in it. I am sure someone saw Nm, Googled "nm" and got nanometre and had no idea what the difference was. Very very poor indeed.
  11. Yep, and they all voted for it. Hard to find sympathy. "Project fear" was their cry....
  12. It's really cool. Can't wait to try one here.
  13. Yes, couldn't agree more. It was a very poor move and reflects badly. They didn't read the room.
  14. Did anyone see this? https://insideevs.com/news/677226/watch-oil-giant-exxonmobil-thinly-veiled-anti-ev-commercial/
  15. Avoid paying for seven years on a thing that has only existed for about a year is highly impressive. Pretty much every single article has these sorts of basic errors in them, it is very very poor.
  16. Is she always relieved when she can get off again?
  17. I do it every Thursday, must have just missed you.
  18. There was a monorail in India which opened and was very bumpy, but they fixed it by grinding the guide rails as they were uneven. I wonder if something similar will be done here? https://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-bumps-on-monorail-track-to-go-1811358 Overall I like the yellow line though.
  19. Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else (I can't see it if it has been) but sounds very interesting indeed. 10 super fast DC charging parks coming with 30 chargers in each one. https://www.nationthailand.com/business/corporate/40029157
