Re: Songkran 2024 Road Accidents
Right, but I haven't seen one of them come off yet ... they have some motorcycle Kung Fu going on. Many of the near misses I've been involved in recently involved young girls riding while watching their phones and pulling stupid manoeuvers without looking because they cant take their eyes off the de...

Re: Songkran 2024 Road Accidents
The other thread on Forzas with phone controls got me thinking ... I wonder if motorcycle accidents/fatalities surged after smartphones saturated the population here. Everyday I see Thais riding along while playing with their phones. Would be an interesting statistic, we know most don't wear a lid h...

Re: Buying a new Forza or Xmax
Just what you need when riding a motorcycle in Thailand, where there aren't too many dangers and distractions already ... a bunch of buttons so you can play with your phone! :duck: Though this method is much better than watching and typing on the screen while riding, as most of the locals do! Enjoy ...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Re: Agoda hotel descriptions/prices warning
Its quite easy to spoof domain names in phishing attacks which is what this appears to have been by asking for money via email rather than payment through the secure app.

Re: Buying a new Forza or Xmax
Having owned various motorcycles from both manufacturers (currently have 2 Hondas and 1 Yammy), I'd say the Hondas are slightly superior in terms of build quality, switchgear, ergonomics, etc, but you’re paying a premium for one over the equivalent model Yammy. In terms of reliability, they're prett...

Re: Songkran 2024 Road Accidents
making them the ninth most dangerous in the world, according to research by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Ninth? Wow ... there are eight countries where more than 385 people are killed on the roads every week? (I thought Thailand topped the list) :shock: Agree on the Songkran stats, its the ...

Re: Buying a new Forza or Xmax
We've just tried a few of these 'phat scooters' and settled for the Nmax as the Forza and Xmax were too big and heavy (200kgs) for the Mrs to use casually around town for market runs and the like. However, they're both very comfortable for touring and longer distances for those of a larger frame. Ca...

The new device is finally set up after a couple of days of messing around, its never easy as you have to log back into all finance-related apps again and mess around with two SIM cards and phone numbers, and both devices. The biggest issue was the Google account being maxed out. If you have Google B...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Enjoying 3 Body though I feel its a little rushed, whereas the novels were more of an epic saga spanning centuries. Are you talking about Netflix's 3 Body Problem or the Chinese TV adaptation Three-Body ? I suppose that particular criticism is true of the latter also, even though it's far superior ...
