As most of the nation's buffaloes are chronically ill and in the infirmary. Hence the sacrifice of countless young Thai women working nights in BKK, Pattaya etc. to help the sick buffaloes. Bless them. How selfless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I had a friend who hit a chicken with his motor scooter. He wasn't badly hurt but he lost a lot of skin, very painful. Advice to the two wheeler riders, both bicycles and motor bikes. It is instinct to swerve but always try to remember to keep in a straight line. If you run over the creature you are not likely to go down. And yes, I have hit chickens with my motor bike and stayed upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to the 2014 formula 1 grand prix that was suppose to be held in BKK. I thought the government in early 2011 had it all sewn up and Thailand was the new G.P hub.

Never knew Thailand had serious motorsports ambitions, if memory serves me correctly there is no infrastructure in place to host the Formula 1 circus even now, apart from the Chang International Circuit track (supposed FIA Grade A) at Buriram, the hospitality services in the immediate vicinity is still as barren as it was when the track first opened in 2014.
