  1. Is this from a mobile phone or a tablet? On my mobile phone landscape works OK (when allowing rotate on the phone) although not of practical use. Android, Brave browser.
  2. They love their statistics and numbers. Hardly a percentage broken down to less than two decimals (four digits). Billions or millions of Baht down to a single Baht or even Satang. Expected tourist numbers in the millions down to one digit. Laughable. 85% two wheeler involved looks above average.
  3. You are absolutely correct. 59 is below average. The annual monkey theater. For me the reasons are quite clear: mass traffic on clogged roads moving slowly, no normal business day traffic. And during the holidays also much less heavy trucks on the way. (as far as I know there is even certain traffic on major roads prohibited) On Friday evening a row of five heavy trucks (for road construction etc) came down the village road. ? Wife says: they go park the vehicles for the holidays.
  4. Doesn't sound like the operation was well planned. Approaching a known drug criminal without the necessary precaution? No safety vests? No automatic weapons to bring this scum down?
  5. Sometimes I think noone should ride without but for another reason. Protect yourself from the terrible pollution from (Diesel) exhaust. Was at an eye doctor with my wife recently and they simple insist on masks. Also at most hospitals you won't see many without mask.
  6. Manhattan style 😁 But then you have these damned intersections, blind corners 🤣
  7. Lying in a pool of blood, no identification on him. You think they interviewed him? Every non white is Thai?
  8. I remember a headline saying that Boeing would be hit harder by these tax plans than Airbus. That they decided for Boeing maybe related to the long order queue at Airbus, more than 200 orders now. Boeing discounts to the max?
  9. Still strange. At your visit at DTAC they just looked up data and said all OK? No picture of passport taken, no picture of you. So they say no issue but the SMS refers to BANK account? You have shown the SMS to them? Do you have online banking? Maybe someone else used your number at the bank with a different name?
  10. EUR/THB plummeting. Nice surprise 😡 USD/THB even worse
  11. So many places to choose from 😁 Always puzzled when I drive along Khopai Rd at like 9 AM and there is happy party time. On Bongkok 8 where the road splits there is a big beer garden like place (open air) in full swing at similar times.

    Bee Removal

    What I have in the photo is different from the picture of the OP. And we had these terrible hornets. And don't try to get close to them without such equipment.
  13. It's another 10 km extra, about 120 km. Fortunately online 90 days works for me. So only one visit per year (October).

    Bee Removal

    Really bees? Not these lovely creature we had in 2022, nest growing cancerous? Painful sting and can be dangerous in larger numbers. A brother in law had to be brought to emergency at hospital. In the village it's quite easy. You ask around, ask the village headman and he will know who can take care.
  15. I took the effort to register. Website quite a mess. Had to use VPN to make them believe I want to send money >TO< Thailand. Registration as such quite easy, No verification of the address, just upload passport. Code sent to my Thai mobile number. Then you see the unbelievable offer: 0 fee, full currency market rate. Wow! After registration you are forced to a send money page and I can't change the amount entered before registration (2000 EUR). Wanted to test 200 EUR. No way. Website frozen after a few attempts. But only after cancelling and restarting I can see the obvious. The offer is the usual decoy, first transfer. Can't find what is the real charge for further transfers would be. Wasted time, got enough. Opposite of what I call transparent. Will try to have my data deleted.
  16. And that can even happen on highway 1. A real ugly sight. Cars smeared with faeces and blood. Burst open cadavers.
  17. Of course I was also puzzled. But after translating it lacked criteria for a spam, no ad, no link. And then the daughter knew about it.
  18. A prime example. Thousands of tons of concrete elevated road unused since years.
  19. Their greed is insatiable. Destroy and flood with mass tourism. First a bridge to Ko Samui, welcome to one day package tourists, stinky buses clogging the roads. And now that. I also hope it will not be in my lifetime.
  20. Which could have ended in the dog owner shooting him. No, I don't have a weapon.
  21. Oh please not more pork to China from here. They suck empty the market. Their demand is insatiable.
  22. Changing the seat is worth a try (how tall are you?). Did you check tire pressure? The tubeless tires are little tolerant. I experienced both. Once an overinflated rent scooter. Felt like steering fault. And the granddaughters Scoopy loses air quite quickly. With low pressure it feels terribly unstable.
  23. From what I understood it's done here on a "village" level. All completed says the daughter. Quite unrealistic that the elderly and poorest are even capable to do this online thing.
  24. Really? A basic 3 star hotel, one room category full on one day. Checked some other places on booking.com and no problem. Songkran might be a bit fuller?
