  1. Technically porn stars are not prostitutes, because they are not paid for sex, they are paid to act.
  2. That is correct, the land traffic act states that Motorcycles (actually all vehicles) must overtake on the right, and then move back into the left lane.
  3. Clearly you know very little about bikes. That is not a 'race' bike, but what we call an 'adventure' bike and they are not designed for speed. As we cannot see his helmet, I am also curious about your phrase 'Race Helmet' what exactly is a race helmet? and how does that affect the story, other than he was responsible enough to be actually wearing a helmet.
  4. She should also have been fined by the BIB for undertaking and for passing within 30m of a pedestrian crossing. I know they all do it, but it is illegal. Sections 45 and 46 of the Land traffic Act B.E. 2522 (1979) clearly stipulate this. Having said that, I doubt whether the rider has ever actually read the Act.
  5. In 2016 Thailand's rate of violent gun-related deaths stood at 4.45 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. In comparison, that of the Philippines was 7.42; the US, 3.85; Cambodia, 0.96; Myanmar, 0.56; Malaysia, 0.46; Indonesia, 0.10; and Singapore, 0.03.
  6. There is a toilet on the ground level just a few metres away from the stairways heading up to immigration.
  7. By far the most common cause of nonfatal injuries on commercial airlines is turbulence. However An airline is only liable if the injury was caused by one of its employees (such as the cabin crew, pilots, maintenance workers, or ground crew members) or by the negligent operating procedures of the airline itself. Interestingly enough Hundreds of flight attendants have been the victim of turbulence incidents, many of whom sustained serious or even fatal injuries. While it is entertaining to read all of the experts here on this forum, I do not see where any of them were on this flight.
  8. Interesting as the three horns (as you look into the engine bay from the front are one at the rear left and two in front of the radiator mid left and mid right. We have a problem where the alarm goes off if we forget to lock the car. Toyota disconnected the horn at the rear left (without saying anything) and charged us a lot to replace all the door rubbers (which they claimed was the problem) needless to say the problem is still there.
  9. So, now anyone wanting to travel overseas must take a course in 'cultural awareness'?. What culture was affected?, It would appear that 'Thai culture' and Buddhism are incompatible from your post. Have you actually studied Buddhism? and I do not mean the travesty that is displayed in Thailand.
  10. I get the impression that you have no actual understanding of Buddhism and just parrot the nonsense that Thai's claim is 'Buddhist'.
  11. Those U-turns on Bang Na Trad are death traps. I often see white paint marks around them where accidents occurred. Basically turning from the 'fast' lane in one direction into the 'fast' lane in the opposite direction is a pretty poor form of traffic planning.
  12. It is correct, but most Thai police will use it as an excuse to fine you. An IDP is not required if the driver's domestic licence meets the requirements of the 1949 (Geneva) or 1968 (Vienna) convention's, that is that the domestic license is in English.
  13. I do not understand. they pay one price. If they eat all the food its OK. but if they do not eat all the food then they are fined?, its utter nonsense.
  14. You do realise that there was no instructor in the car and Thai's do not have dual control 'learner' vehicles don't you?
  15. That's strange, I heard this 3 years ago, and six years ago, and 12 years ago.
  16. Why is she being villified after defending herself after being assaulted??
  17. There was a Barber's shop near Patpong that did this way back in the 1970's. Nothing new here.
  18. Both my cars and my motorbike were on insurance from two companies that failed over three months ago. There is a 'possibility' that we may get a rebate, but we have basically had to re-insure them with another provider. In both cases the reason was given as covid claims.
  19. To an epidemiologist, an endemic infection is one in which overall rates are static — not rising, not falling. More precisely, it means that the proportion of people who can get sick balances out the ‘basic reproduction number’ of the virus, the number of individuals that an infected individual would infect, assuming a population in which everyone could get sick. Yes, common colds are endemic. So are Lassa fever, malaria and polio. So was smallpox, until vaccines stamped it out. Stating that an infection will become endemic says nothing about how long it might take to reach stasis, what the case rates, morbidity levels or death rates will be or, crucially, how much of a population — and which sectors — will be susceptible. Nor does it suggest guaranteed stability: there can still be disruptive waves from endemic infections, as seen with the US measles outbreak in 2019.
  20. That document says that if the the conditions or status of stay changed in any way then you must inform them otherwise you could have the extension terminated.
  21. Love the fact that people are still falling for the myth that 'Chiropractors' are actually Doctors! Next they will be claiming that Homeopathy works.
  22. I believe he owned a black vinyl copy of Max Bygraves greatest hits, That probably counts!
  23. Not sure what you are reading but pretty much all of that is incorrect.
