if you have no insurance and hit someone busto -> pay them off. or more likely scanario, they're in car and you're on motorbike...keep driving and they wont catch you.
if you have no insurance and hit ferrari -> they prob have enough $$ neway, just tell them it was karma. if its a girl maybe get her #.

i've been pulled over high smashing through traffic, didn't even take off my iPod to talk to cop, just gave him 200 baht and said the only thai word i know 'sawadee khup' obv

just dropping in my 2 cents. not gonna go into detail how much more fun it is to drive high w/ipod.

fwiw i think motorbiking in phuket is much more dangerous.

well that, or ending up like rutang:

LOL I use to be an amazing downhill mountain biker. Before each event or a run I would blaze a big blunt and just shoot down that hill like a tornado weed makes me more aware of my surroundings and it makes me more careful I am actually a safer person while on weed rather then sober.

well when i was sober I was less aware and I was rushing but not an adreniline rush just like a panic rush.. when i was high I was alert because i didn't want to F up n get hurt while I am high so i am far more cautious.

But the down side of smoking the biking was that i would get major pasties and I would need to drink lots of water which in turn gave me cramps.

I am considering coming out for a 3 month vacation. If i did i would get my wisdom teeth out while I am there. Any advice or recommendations from anyone who has had dental work out there? I think I will be splitting my time up by living in bangkok and phuket on month to month leases in furnished studio's. What I am interested in is figuring out exactly how much I am going to need for everything. If some of you vets can give me your advice I would appreciate it. rutang? Lessu? pokerspiv? shipitfma?

Here is my list of what I think I need let me know if my numbers are off, what i am missing, and what I left blank.

Totals For 3 months:
$ 740 roundtrip airfair
$ 1800 rent
$ 400 transportation
$ 1800 food
$ health insurance
$ 500 hotel until I find a place
$ 3000 alcohol partying ect
$ 800 wisdom teeth out

What am I missing ? Are my #'s realistic? Is 9K reasonable?
~Thanks for your time guys~

sad day when someone thinks of Pokerspiv to ask advice of before most other regs, but too funny that shipitfma is listed AFTER him.

Yep, those hefty 0.1% charges add up fast

i'm not sure what you have in mind when you say "furnished studios" but $600/mo may or may not be enough depending on what you're looking for.
