You got to love Thailand sometimes. !

Sometimes living here just makes you smile and appreciate being here.

 

I did a daft thing and flattened the battery on my 300cc bike. Didnt have a charger, never thought I'd ever need one.The bike is way too heavy for me to try and run n bump it. I took the battery off, took it to the village bike shop and they charged it up for me and I collected it a few hours later. Total cost ? 15 baht !????????

My brother in law does it for me... nice to have a big family.

It's a nice feeling.  You help them a little, they help you a lot, and both parties leave with a good feeling.   Maybe you gave them 20 baht and said, "Keep the change!"  lol.   

 

15 baht.......this goes in the WIN category.   If you live in Thailand long enough, the WIN category is 10x larger than the LOSE (scam) category.    We all lose, but winning feels so much better.

I did that 5 years ago, he asked for 25b, I was so excited to have my battery back, I gave him 50b... !!! ????, that battery worked for 2 more years I think, until I sold the bike ...

He's posted this, and another pic, on several different unrelated topics.

Strange.

Yep, I know that smiley feeling well. Been caught short many occasions—breakdowns etc—and usually get sorted out real quick. Amazing generosity of spirit.
