Thai purple curry
One in all Thailand’s most scrumptious dishes. And since it’s in Thailand (and never the illness riddled India with their open sewer dishwashers) there’s a lot much less likelihood you’ll be ‘bleeding the radiator’ in the midst of the evening.
This award goes to the perfect purple factor in Thailand.
Winner: Ducati
On Saturday MotoGP formally reached its lowest ebb within the sea of disappointment. All eight Ducati riders completed within the high eight positions.
A superb end result for the Bolognaise primarily based group. Horrible for the viewers.
Thai inexperienced curry
Precisely the identical as a Thai purple curry however a distinct color and never fairly pretty much as good.
This award goes to the perfect inexperienced factor in Thailand.
Winner: Inexperienced kerbs
Jorge Martin’s win within the dash race raised just a few eyebrows because the detuned Spaniard seemingly crossed on to the hated inexperienced kerbs 4 instances and may have obtained a penalty. Second place finisher Pecco Bagnaia, who is aware of all too effectively in regards to the penalties of mounting a kerb when tipsy in a rent automobile, slyly tried to do a ‘Jonathan Rea’ after the race by grassing up Martin claiming he counted 4 instances his rival had ridden on the inexperienced paint and was ready for the penalty. Refined.
However Jorge was finally not penalised. Why? Properly apparently the Spaniard crossed the inexperienced kerbs at areas that didn’t imply he’d achieve a bonus that means not all of a inexperienced kerb is assessed as a inexperienced kerb.
In order that’s good and clear then. Can’t perceive why everybody hates them.
Phi Phi islands
The as soon as gorgeous Phi-Phi islands suffered their demise sentence in 1996 when the Leonardo DiCaprio movie ‘The Seashore’ was launched. After the movie everybody needed to go to the islands and tourism went into overdrive. At present the islands are disgusting.

This award goes to the ‘as soon as nice now horrible’ rider.
Winner: Joan Mir
Wikipedia claims that Joan was as soon as a world champion. If that is true, which it most likely isn’t, then the Spaniard actually shouldn’t be as poor as he’s.

Marvel on the manner your driver ignores all highway guidelines and speeds by the mass of deadly site visitors and not using a care on the earth for the danger of his, yours and everybody else’s life with each horrible choice he makes.

We’ve witnessed at nearly each race this season a ruthless and reckless Marc Marquez crash by his opponents in such a method that may have the Bangkok tuk-tuk drivers nodding their scarred heads with approval. And in Thailand it was extra of the identical.
On Saturday Marc by no means stood an opportunity towards the mighty 2024 Ducatis – particularly Bagnaia’s bike that had had its engine turned as much as 110% in an try and beat Jorge Martin. Nonetheless on Sunday the rain was falling and the Spanish Antichrist knew he was in with an opportunity of victory…enter the three stage tuk-tuk journey:
- Stage 1: Try an overtake anyplace you possibly can with no concern for the opposite celebration
- Stage 2: Crash
- Stage 3: Mud your self down, restart and ram another person off the highway

This award goes to an excellent journey that went underneath the radar.
Winner: Johann Zarco
Zarco’s good journey to eightth in the principle race nearly went unnoticed amidst the motion (or lack of) occurring elsewhere. Johann, who harbours considered one of North Korea’s 28 state authorized haircuts, has been the perfect Honda rider all season. Nonetheless within the moist the beret sporting Honda rider took it to the subsequent degree and completely humiliated his different HRC rivals – which is bizarre given the French’s hatred of fresh water.
Girl boy

This award goes to the rider that started off brilliantly however received a nasty shock in the direction of the climax.
Winner: Jack Miller

The Australian is by now used to being crushed by his teammate however 2024 has confirmed dangerous even by his requirements together with his teammate Brad Binder having greater than double the factors. Then there’s been the annoyance that’s Pedro Acosta – the tofu on Miller’s BBQ.
However for as soon as issues had been going Jack’s manner in a moist Thailand. With just some laps remaining the KTM rider, who’s the kind of one who would voluntarily step in water with socks, discovered himself heading in the direction of a podium end.
Sadly all of the euphoria disappeared because the appendage of Acosta thrust into view, stole his place and left him limp and confused.
Thai therapeutic massage
What might be extra stress-free than a Thai therapeutic massage? Properly numerous stuff truly. A typical Thai therapeutic massage revolves round a petite lady beating and bending the crap out of you for an hour. The masseur is expert in making certain that each facet of your physique is tortured in methods normally reserved by the Taliban. Do you’re feeling higher afterwards? Sure. However solely as a result of it’s over.

- Ache within the stomachs of the Yamaha group from laughing when Franky inevitably fell off

Full moon events
Thailand’s full moon events are legendary all through the nation to the purpose the place ‘new moon’, ‘half moon’ and ‘waxing gibbous moon’ events conveniently now crop up.
A typical full moon celebration includes a bunch of drunk European’s who’re in South East Asia to ‘discover themselves’. Nonetheless after a night of low-cost alcohol and medicines it turns into much less about ‘discovering themselves’ and extra about ‘discovering their passport and pockets’.
This award goes to the rider who appeared dazed and confused questioning what the hell has simply occurred.
Winner: Fabio Quartarararo
Poor Fabio by no means knew what hit him – effectively truly he did. It was Morbidelli.
The weekend began so positively too when the likeable but French rider certified his Yamaha nail onto the second row. That, scientists predict, was the mathematical equal of discovering a likeable particular person with dyed blue hair.
Nonetheless on Sunday, as Fabio impressed the world by being in 5th place, the ‘Full Moon impact’ was about to hit him. And onerous.
The Yamaha rider by no means even noticed his ex-teammate Franky Morbidelli pile by him quicker than a Panzer down the Champs-Élysées. The manoeuvre was so uncontrollably blockheaded that the hapless Quartarararo had no prior data to the upcoming impression.
Identical to the vacationer on the Full Moon celebration Fabio was left crawling round within the sand questioning what had occurred, how he received there and the place his belongings had been.
