This is poorly written. The one way should end at Soi Chiayapruk and not up to second road. Ending at Second road would make getting to many businesses impossible. Then again, logic rarely enters into these decisions. Surely Second road and Chaiyapruk will still be two way?

How many kilometers can your Honda go for the price of a lady drink?

I really think that the idle stop not working is just nit picking. If you were worried about saving two baht worth of benzene, you should rent a MUCH cheaper bike to start with.

There are still a number of high roller crooks who need to be prosecuted. Research Drummond's writings and you will see a lot of names. Most of these crooks are protected by the Thai libel laws and if you can't afford to pay for your legal protection from these frivolous law suits, you can very easily go to jail or at the least end up going back to your home country totally broke. Check out Neils Colov and make up your own mind. -
Yes, the forum is kind of like my wife. We know EVERYTHING!

The kick stand safety is a good thing. I once dumped my Yamaha Elegance because I forgot to put the kick stand up. No harm done but it was embarrassing. Why are there always people watching when you do something stupid?

The battery will run down if the bike is used in nothing but stop and go. The alternator doesn't have time to fully charge the battery unless you can keep the bike running constantly for maybe fifteen minutes or longer.

That bum is very well connected but unfortunately for him, the powers that were have been bumped out of their positions by the more powerful military. I would hope that others that have been scammed will now step up and the truth comes out. I think he will find it more difficult to buy his way out of this one. -
Steak & Co. on Soi Lengkee (updated May 29, 2015)
Gary replied to Evil Penevil's topic in Restaurants and food
A good steak that is dry and well done is a total waste. I don't like my steak raw but neither do I like it well done. I like it tender, juicy and pink in the center. -
Steak & Co. on Soi Lengkee (updated May 29, 2015)
Gary replied to Evil Penevil's topic in Restaurants and food
I don't want anything poured on my steak. If I put any kind of sauce on my steak, that means it is a poor tasteless piece of meat. Also, there is no substitute for genuine butter. -
If by terrace, you mean a balcony, it's different strokes for different folks. My condo is 60 square meters and has two balconies. The one off the bedroom is at least twice as big as the one off the living room. The large balcony overlooks the swimming pool and gardens. It's great to sit out there and have morning coffee or a drink in the evening. The one off the living room has a clothes drying rack and my washing machine. That is also where the cleaning supplies are kept. Mops, buckets, brooms etc. I wouldn't want to give up either of them. Having a separate bedroom is the biggest benefit of

My idea of condo sizes is that a single guy living alone can be pretty comfortable in a 40 square meter studio. If you have a room mate, you will be far better off with a unit that has a separate bedroom. She will want to watch Thai language TV and you would want English language TV. You WILL need two separate rooms for that. I also want my computer in the bedroom. A lot of built in storage will also be important. It's amazing how much junk a guy can accumulate. After you live in your condo for a while, you would find that an apartment sized refrigerator is too small. Make sure you have room f

When I first moved upcountry, there were boys with sling shots who killed the large geckos called Took Gares. They sold the dead lizards to a stupid old man who thought eating them made him more virile. It so happens that a favorite food for these lizards are those ugly dangerous centipedes. I'm happy to say that the gecko population is now stable and we VERY seldom see any of those despicable creatures. Do your best to protect the large geckos. Added - Found on the Internet;

So you prefer to call it an extension. That's really not very descriptive. What are you extending?
-
This is sounding like the nit pickers on Thai Visa. Everyone knows what a retirement visa is yet some insist on calling it an extension. I think they do that just to find fault with people who call it a retirement visa. Spelling errors do irritate me but I don't normally look for posts just to correct the spelling. As far as Siam Legal, no way would I pay $719 US to get a 1,900 baht ($60) retirement visa or as the nit pickers insist on, an extension. The two most common visas are the retirement and the marriage visas. Neither are the exact correct terms but everyone knows what they are.

I blame out of control disrespectful kids today on permissive parents. Parents who tell their kids that it was not their fault for telling lies, taking drugs and having no respect for the law or anything else. For a teacher or anyone else in authority to have their life ruined by a kid telling plain lies about what some innocent person allegedly did to them really stinks. Not that a 4 year old can do this but older spoiled kids can and do. They do this because they know they can get even with someone who they do not like for one reason or another. It appears that never taking responsibility fo

I didn't say that it came from this thread; From a recent BigD post; "Gary gets a lot of spam from right wing nutters. He's good with cut and paste but not so good doing a bit of research to see if theres any validity to the claims made." Maybe you read it differently from how I read it?

The sharks are circling. I'd bet that his woman is after a settlement. How did the child get his eye injured? Did Peterson hit him with his fist or maybe a weapon like a switch? And you have the nerve to accuse me of posting bullshit.

I agree that spanking a child is different than a whipping that causes injury. I went to a Catholic school and the superintendent used a perforated board for discipline. It made some welts but never drew blood. The nuns used a wooden ruler on your hands and that sometimes did draw blood. I preferred the superintendent's "board" of education to the nun's ruler. I don't know of any student who Had any emotional problems from this. You should never discipline a kid when you are angry. It does appear that this guy got carried away. I do feel sorry that this guy got carried away with anger and is n

Do any of you actually believe that you can reason with a four year old? Do you believe that a four year old knows when his life or health is in danger?

My daughters son was a spoiled brat raised by very permissive parents. He was totally out of control. During a visit, my son told the parents that the boy needed his ass whipped and if they would not do it he would. He took the boy outside and put his belt to him. My daughter was screaming and her husband was too scared to say or do anything. My son said that he would NEVER set foot inside their house again and he never did. Spare the rod and spoil the child. You can't reason with a four year old. All they understand at that age is pain. It's not pleasant to whip a child but sometimes it is ne

KING ARTHUR AND THE OLD UGLY WOMAN Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if, after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question?...What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was

I guess it depends where you live and if you have the free WiFi. As for myself, I'm out in the boonies and am limited to 5 GB per month. There is no WiFi here. Sometimes it is indeed a sacrifice to be able to live in God's country.

How many GB did you use watching the game?

A good friend of mine used to go deer (dear) hunting every year for a week or so.The last year before his divorce, she took the bolt out of his rifle before he left. He never noticed because he never took it out of the case.
