Hit And Run Opposite Jack Van Friday Night
2011-11-26 21:10:53
There was a hit and run last night about 2:30 am outside Jack Van bar at Somphet Gold Place. A farang customer at Jack's was on the road and was hit by a car driving on Chaiyaphum Rd. I was at Woody's at the time and only saw the aftermath. Ambulances attended, but by the reactions of other customers in the crowd I think the accident may have been fatal. The car involved in the accident did not stop.

Looking for service agents for a Whirlpool Washing machine, I came across this page advising me of Whirlpool Religion locations.

Motorcycle Taxi Meters Coming To Bangkok?
2011-02-14 15:53:43
Came across this article about a Bangkok based company that wants to launch meters for motorcycle taxis. Do you think this will take off? They are going to be available next month.
Many thought that Bangkok would never get metered car taxis but it eventually happened. I don't know the history of how that came about. I can't see motorsai meters becoming popular unless the BMA mandates them. I would be surprised if moto drivers are as keen as this article suggests. Apart from the upfront cost, it would make them more accountable and could lead to being able to tax their earnings. Meters could make it easier to agree a fare for longer trips, but I don't see it helping much for trips up and down the local Soi.
