Thread: Somchai the Knob Jockey fixes my flat tyre.

So We are in Ban Krut and for the first time ever in Thailand i get a flat Tyre, not bad for 10 years of hiring cars.

So i pop the boot and wak on the Mitsubishi Marages spare wheel. Now when I went to school my teacher told me to never put a wheel barrow wheel onto a car but this is Thailand and things are a tad different.

Smash the flat wheel in the back seat and head of to find some one capable who can repair the flat.

This place looks extremely capable so in we go.

Fixing my tyre turned out to be a three man operation. Here is Somchai # 1, he is the shit kicker who gets the good job of ripping the wheel of the Motor.

Here is Somchai # 2. His job is to fill the tyre with Air so the leak can be found.

Then it's back to Somchai # 1 who walks it over to the pox ridden water tank and locates the leak.

Then it's handed over to Somchai # 3. He is the main man who fixes shit up Apparently. That looks nasty heh.

Somchai # 3 is havin a bit of trouble getting this out and is going for Gold with his screw driver.

And there is the offending article. I do not remember driving over a sharks head.

So Somchai # 3 gets to work repairing the hole.

The tyre is repaired so Somchai # 1 springs back into action and refits the tyre. Im in and out within 30 minutes, jobs done, good stuff. The boss wants 150 Baht but being a very generous bastard I slip him 200 for his quick and efficient job.

I get 30 Klm down the road and the tyres fookin Flat again. You fookin coont Somchai. I want my money back.

Somchais, eh!

So I head off to find a new Somchai. I find another Somchai and he told me my last Somchai was a massive shit bag because he did not repair the tyre correctly.

That being he did not put a proper plug in the hole but merely used a bicycle patch to cover it.

So this Somchai being super efficient does exactly the same thing but used a better grade of glue apparently.

Look, at the end of the day ya just got to laugh this shit off simply because nothing will and can never change regards Somchai the complete and utter waste of space.

All good innit.

Love my Road trip, always good for a fookin great belly laugh.

Must of been 2 sharks teeth in there

I actually had a laugh, after all any Farang worth his salt would of predicted that this would happen.

Anyway, i really liked driving with that wheel barrow wheel on the Motor.

Made me feel cool and Hip.

Yep, that's all you can do. The 3 Somchais had Somchais' Revenge written all over them, but still we hope it'll work out, and even give them a tip...

Ha ha ha
They must love it when they see us idiots rolling up expecting a decent job
They fucked the suspension up on my klx, I had to send off to Japan for 2 front forks
Still don't know what job that had anything to do with my forks
Cost me about £500 I recall
Good stuff Terry

Quality establishment like this I'd contact the complaints dept or give a bad review on line
That will teach them

It was quite funny actually, When i slipped the Boss the 50 baht tip he nearly shit himself laughin.

I know why now.

^^

Considering i was driving with a Wheel Barrow wheel on my motor i thought id just go to the nearest Gaffer.

That was this pox addled Somchai Camp.

I was pissed in the village and some old fella hobbling up the road with no shoes on so I gave him my birkenstock Sandles £50 a pair
He sold them on the next table to some young fella for about 50b
I was fuming when I sobered up
Somchai had the crever ferang again

That's funny Jimmy Boy. Better than waking up with a sore arse thinking that you had just foked Marylin Monroe but in reality Somchai had been up ya all night.
