Is it only me or are the new lane markings on Petchkasem irrational? If you are in the go ahead lane then, come the next set of lights, you will find yourself in the right turn lane, and you therefore need to switch lanes to the left to continue to be in the go ahead lane. My observation is that the...

My driving style is a mix of Thai and Indonesian with the added bonus that the sports truck weighs in at about 3 tons. Quite frankly I cannot stand Australian driving, road rules and policing. I feel quite at home on the Thai roads. Mrs J cannot stand my driving style in Australian, but she doesn’t ...

When driving in Thailand the most dangerous vehicle you will come across are inter city busies. The look inherently unstable and a driven at speeds and in a manner of a Porches by someone who in all probability has consumed something being a performance enhancer or inhibitor. It is best to give such...

try the ALTAVISTA babel fish translation.

at the risk of being labelled a pervert, can I be admitted?

RIP Guess. A person to be missed.

I think that some thought that I was a bit extreme when posting on this topic and reefing to the Victoria police..

The odd couple. When the Mrs goes out she is always perfectly groomed. designer jeans, shoes, handbags etc. Me well - daggy old shorts and T shirt with scruffy hair.. she gets embarrased. I get to sigh and chuckle at the same time. I can see where my money went; and in fairness to the Mrs, she looks...

none of the above!

Well it is actually funny. If you ever get a chance to see it, there is a very funny Aust movie called Crackerjack which is about a bowling club. Perhaps I see the humour from the perspective of the movie. Crackerjack (2002) Genre: Comedy Tagline: It's on for young and old Plot: When dwindling membe...

The cook isn’t necessary. There are plenty of good and cheap places to eat. It will not be more expensive to eat out compared with having a full time in-house cook. As for a car and driver, I never thought I would drive in Thailand. For a few years I limited myself to a bike in HH. Then bit by bit I...

Does this mean that if you stay at a hotel in Bangkok before coming down to your house at HH, that you still have to fill in the from? In other words is it required within 24 hours of arriving at your residence irrespective of how long it been since you arrived in Thailand? Too many rules, regulatio...

Red light cameras – bad news. One of the things that pisses me off about Australia is the over regulation of evertything you do. With driving, we are flooded with red light and speed cameras. On some highways they even average your speed between cameras and book you on the average speed. Having seen...

Would I trust Australian police? No.
Is there a history of Australian poice being on the take? Yes
Would I trust American police? No.
Is there a history of American poice being on the take? Yes.
So what is different with Thai police?

Over the eight years of coming to HH, we have observed many changes: the development of multiple 1st class golf courses/resorts, major international hotels, major shopping complexes, the growth of housing estates and resort style condominiums, and the upgrade of the road from Bangkok. But the one ob...
