'When we installed the road grates the bars SHOULD HAVE been oriented 90 degrees to the direction of the motorcycle traffic, not aligned towards oncoming motorcycle traffic.

thanks for the laugh. I still remember when that happened to me about 15 years ago and cel phones had not been surgically attached to young women's hands. I just got up and dressed and asked the gal to leave.

Thai immigration.

After coming to Thailand for 15 years I STILL have no idea why this country wants to send it's tourists to neighbouring countries to spend their money there instead of here. I DO understand why they want to know the whereabouts of the tourists and their travels, but why force them into another country when all they really want to know is where you are? A simple trip to immigration should give them all they need to know and it would keep the money incountry. Most people I talk to would rather pay Thailand immigration 500 to 1000 baht rather than spend 12 hours on bus and the cost of the trip to a neighbouring country. I can't think of ONE simple reason to send tourists with a valid visa away... unless of course it's to provide business for transportation companies.

oooh, that's deep, loong, very true, but deep. I still find it hard to believe that the Thailand education system does not teach geography. Or at least the geography of their own country.
