  1. if you are yelling out whilst waiting for a bus................ maybe you need to be culled.
  2. Please read my previous post and follow the link. There are a few charter Air companies in Thailand. They are available if you want to pay for it.
  3. Please read and digest following link. https://www.caat.or.th/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Aircraft-Data-Information_Jan-2022.pdf If you look at it you will see that there are quite a few helicopters and their are planes registered to private companies and organizations in Thailand. Remember, if you are rich enough to own a helicopter or private plane , you would register it through a company and not your name.
  4. Have a look at Kawasaki. I have had two big bikes, A Z900 And a H2SX, I found service and parts readily available and the shops i have used, pm and i will send details, to be very professional in there service. I actually received better service in Hua Hin than I do in Australia.
  5. In Australia, you purchase Comprehensive insurance, what you call third party property, this covers Your car, the other car, the hospital bills, the neighbor's cat and the Shopping mall that you drove through. As for where you can drive to, you are usually limited to the number of kilometers per day or you pay extra and get unlimited kilometers. You can drive interstate if you want however if you are driving of road you will need to get a suitable car. You will also pay extra if you do not return car to original point of hire. At present i am driving a Toyota Rav4 rented through Avis, company provided, unlimited kilometers but limited to driving on bitumen(Tarmac). There are other options available as their are companies that organize one way trips for people, for example you will pick up a camper van and you will be required to drive it from one point to another, they will usually give a fuel allowance and you do not pay for the van, you just have to move it from point A to point B within the timeframe give. You just have to get lucky and get a transport option that suits your plans. Trips from Places like Darwin to Perth are quite common.
  6. Sir you will find that the Mandatory Third party insurance will be automatically added to your rental agreement, however this only covers costs associated with a person. So if a person is involved in an accident with your vehicle , and you are found to be at fault. the insurance will cover their costs. You will also be presented with various "Comprehensive " insurance options that will cover different types of damage if you have an accident, these will vary in price and exactly what they cover. and you will be offered different rates depending on the Excess amount you will pay if there is an accident. Also in Australia , you will be liable for the excess even if you are not deemed at fault. I have been renting vehicles for many years for work purposes and I have found the big players, AV!s, Hurtz etc. although they are expensive, they offer the best service. It is depending on your use of the car as well., are you going to be driving around in a major city or are you going to be travelling the barren wasteland's that make up the rest of that place? Thyird party insurance is not negotiable in Australia.
  7. You would never. That's your opinion, weather we like to listen to it is completely up to us. I personally have done over 20 000 kilometers on a " big Bike" in Thailand and so far have survived with no problems. i thoroughly enjoy riding in Thailand and wont stop until age makes me.
  8. I did same about 15 years ago, i used a company called "GRACE" removalists from Brisbane https://www.grace.com.au/brisbane-removalists/ most use useful thing i brought was a full size Weber BBQ, they are crazy expensive in Thailand. Just make sure that the removalist does door to door because if you allow a local agent to be appointed the locals can gouge you on costs.
  9. Me wife and i believe that the beef industry contributes to global warming by the amount of methane the cows produce. We are firmly against the beef industry so we do our best to kill and eat as many cows as we can, piece by tasty piece. Also we only eat Vegan beef, the cows must only be raised on plants and therefore are plant based. so i guess we are environmentally aware vegans.
  10. My Boy is a teacher and after he finished Uni, it took a few years before he cracked it and scored a very sought after government teaching job. One of the problems is that they do not mandate the age as to when a teacher should retire. So the system is full of old relics lapping up the dollars and doing bugger all. Now he has to return to Uni and do a masters to get ahead. and a Thai masters degree is about as useful as a chocolate teacup.
  11. I HAVE BEEN WEARING HEARING AIDS FOR THE LAST couple of years, this causes both a fungal growth in my ears and the compounded wax problem, i have learnt to clean my ears with peroxide every three months or so. the amount of crap that comes out of my ears is incredible. i thoroughly recommend on getting a doc to teach you how to clean your was with peroxide. it is well worth it.
  12. I am coming over in early March for sons wedding. does anybody know where I can rent a Yamaha x-adv 750 scooter in Bangkok? my Thai license is still valid and I have always wanted to try one of these things. moose.
