Dogs howling at that time of night are usually barking at the joas (sp?).Anchor Moy wrote:Here the dogs do a karaoke more or less every night/morning between 2 & 5am - one starts and it's all go.

No, here at any rate it's because there's a small dog that can get through his gate into the street and winds up all the bigger dogs that can't get out. They also bark at cats, the moon etc - not much use as guard dogs since they are always barking - a bit like the alarms that go off all the time.

Always nice to hear some good story as its the bad ones that always get most attention. And I agree this is a situation were most would taking advantage of your situation.Kung-fu Hillbilly wrote:It's my experience at times like these locals are prone to take advantage of your situation as apposed to acting in good will, so much so, I thought I'd make a post about it.potty wrote:yournot right int he head, are you?
as if this wouldn't happen back home much more often...
I have never had trouble/accidents with bicycle, bike or car, where not the first one stopped and helped. in Europe. within minutes, max.
back home, the ppl are much more helpful than here...
I don't give a fuck what you think people would do at home - I'm not at home.

Re: Getting Helped By Locals
Nice one, thanks for sharing.Kung-fu Hillbilly wrote:I awoke to a flat front tyre on the scooter and a belting hangover compliments of the new year. I hire the scooter from a mom and pop shop about one hundred metres from the villa I rent whom themselves rent the scooter from a friend of theirs who has a small scooter hire business on the other side of town.
Approaching mom pushing the scooter, she sees the problem and calls her friend to explain. (I would have been happy just to find a local guy to replace the tube, pay and be done with it) Her friend doesn't answer so mom calls someone else to find out where she is. That person calls to a house and locates her and tells her to call mom. She calls. Ten minutes later two young guys pull up and one drives off slowly on my the scooter to make the repair. I sit down at mom and pop's shop for a bit to start re-hydrating, then walk a few metres for a couple of chicken and rice dishes at their family members warung. (small local food stall/cafe) By the time I'd finished my food, maybe forty minutes later in total, the guy comes back with my scooter adorned with brand new tyres and tubes front and back.
Of course my natural reaction to the new tyres and tubes was, "Fuck, what are they gonna try get out of me for this", then mom says. "No pay. Before already broken".
It could have been one of those long drawn out, "But I didn't ask you to put tyres and tubes all round" kind of start to the day, but these people went out of their way and coordinated things pretty quickly so I could get about my day - without charge!! Suffice to say, I will only use mom and pop's shop for my bits and pieces like toilet paper, smokes, snacks etc from now on and will be sure to have a meal every couple of days at their family's warung.
SC and I recently had a flat tire outside pear TTP, there were quite a number (5-6) that came to help us and no one asked for anything. We have them something for their time but it was just really nice to have others come and help.

Re: Getting Helped By Locals
you also believe, that the dogs are harassing you on the street, just per chance...
somewhere a guy posted, this dogs have only trouble with foreigners... loooooooooool....
no dogs are harassing you by chance, except they are totally wild - which are only in abandoned parts of abandoned nonthaburi. otherwise they belong to someone.
no, these things are neither coincidence...
