Re: Driving: why Thai’s “back in”?

It does also point out that the other parts can be used against you in court to establish liability but are not illegal and use the advisory wording such as, should/should not or do/do not.

Typical Thai twaddle and fence sitting.

Re: Driving: why Thai’s “back in”?

A more pertinent question might be; why do Thais drive in reverse down a street, into oncoming cross traffic, rather than make a 3 point turn and proceed to the corner? Don't they teach 3 point turns in Thailand?

Re: Engineering and Technology Thread

Those job loses will impact every sector of society. Small businesses will be hit hardest by the lack of cash inflow and, in turn, those businesses will lay off employees. The economy doesn't look promising.

After you rob the store, it's quicker to get away if you've reversed in.

Re: Correct detergent for front-loading washing machine, western style

It would be better to use a liquid, but the cleaning power is the same. The problem with powder is that it doesn't always completely dissolve and can get trapped in your clothes, also, if it doesn't dissolve it can get stuck in parts of the machine. One way to solve that problem is to dissolve the p...

Re: Hua Hin dual-track rail project to go ahead

I'm still of the belief there is no logical solution to the Hua Hin East and Hua Hin West problem. Even if there is a solution, it must be several years away. The only solution I can think of is a series of traffic lights, which as well as controlling traffic, will have to be coordinated to the rai...

Oh right. Not being a driver I don't pay much attention to what's where. Soi 58 would be the correct Soi.

Re: Thailand tourism situation

Why the Thais are confused is beyond me. The government directive was given out from October 1st (I believe). They're pretty quick to believe other information given by the government. All they have to do is view the rest of the world where masks have been lifted. Why they still have the 'need' to ...

Re: Did Covid Happen?

In fact the British Medical Journal (BMJ) which most people would acknowledge as a leading and honest authority, say that Covid vaccines (generally not Pfizer specific), certainly helped in reducing illness and avoiding hospitalisation, rather than preventing transmission. https://www.bmj.com/conte...

I must have meant Soi 59. I think that Soi exists.

Re: What happen to Bluport ?

Bluport, generally, has better quality fresh vegetables than other markets, but the prices are outrages. We go there for my 90 day parole report and then eat something, usually at Wine Connection. Occasionally something is on sale that I need and I'll buy it. Walking shoes was the last thing I bough...

Re: Thailand tourism situation

Yes, the maskless tourists are everywhere and the Thais are confused about whether to wear a mask or not.
