Wow it is bad today

Just returned from my bicycle Ride

Eyes sore

I had better look around for face mask

Plus buy some eye cleaner

If you get stuck

The maybe a Cat dealer who could put you in contact with one

I bought a Thai made one as a birthday present for my elderly FiL a few years ago and its still going strong.

It was a step through frame design with battery located under the seat above the rear wheel. It can be either pedalled or driven by electrics. There's a on/charge/off switch located just under the saddle.

Apart from the battery being replaced a year after purchase it quite happily transports him around the village and out to the farm and back each day. We suspect the original battery was a dud from the bike sitting in the shop for so long after manufacture. The replacement battery was easily found and cost around B2,000 I think.

I can't see any problem with it transporting 2 adult Thais which it regularly does.

Where did you buy it

Is the shop still open

Thanks everyone. I called Bird air and they came the next day. A/c fixed and working perfectly.

Good to hear

Thanks for the update

having an absolute nightmare over many months trying to find something similar. good luck!

It all depends on your budget

Plus location and your requirments

<15k 1 BR+ any location that is convenient (some restaurants nearby and not that far from the city, 15 min max by bike). No luck finding anything reasonable that is not a 30 meter condo for 12k.

Have you tried Chiang Mai Properties

Condos for Rent in Chiang Mai - 10000 To 15000 THB /month

I solved my DTAC problems by switching to AIS. DTAC was uncooperative about transferring my number, too.

So i can transfer my DTAC No to AIS

Without too much Pronlems??

Looks like you can get one in the UK for 300 quid.

The high cost here unfortunatly

Everything has the 1000% Tax

Not like other countries

Can not see why so high as probably not any bikes made here

So not detrimental to that Insudtry

But this is Thailand where anything goes

Beetlejuice, good morning! I'm up early doing final preparation for today's seminar on "Lessons Learned at the End of Life" http://www.lannacarenet.org/

I had wondered how long it would be before you starting casting doubts and throwing stones like you often do every time Lanna Care Net is brought up on Thai Visa. And I'll repeat what I normally say -- come to a meeting, ask your questions and find out for yourself.

And today you have an extra special chance to just blend into the audience and hear our stories because today Carl of Cancer Connect - Chiang Mai and I are presenting a three hour seminar on "Lessons Learned at the End of Life" -- steps you can take now to prepare for a medical crisis and end of life in Chiang Mai. It is at River Market Restaurant, from 9 am to 12.00 noon. Yes, we're asking for a 100 baht donation, so you'll have to look over the fruit, coffee, tea and handouts we give you to see if we're gouging you with that request!

Beetlejuice, since you never come forward to ask questions of us in person, this will be a great chance to sit in the audience (there's still some open seats) and just observe and actually learn more about what we do. I know you're an old Chiang Mai hand with deep connections into the local population, but you might even learn something of value for yourself. Heck, perhaps you might even be inspired to join us in helping your fellow expats.

I attended the session

It was very infomative

Good handouts

A must for all Expats to know where to go to for help

Plus we all have to make decissions

This session advises What You Have To Do

I am glad i went

A very important topic, the sort of thing that would be very useful on video.

What a 3 hour session on Video

With Question and Answers

I dont think so

Every person has there own set of guidelines that they want to have done when they get Older

Thanks for the leads. From what I've seen so far, I'm surprised that Bangkok is better value, and easier to find monthly Serviced Apartments than Chiang Mai. (Right now, I'm renting 10,000B, in Sathorn, 46 sqm studio - building has gym and swimming pool). Though admittedly, the decor is a bit old.

You can not compare Bangkok a large city to Chiang Mai

There are places around just have to look

Like we all did

Internet research as well as asking here

There is also SK money changer on night Bazar just south of Thae Pai Gate Road On the right

Was interesting to see the Video

Hope the new Internet based System will work when it is implemeted in April

For the 90 reporting

They might be able to handle more 1 year Visa Extension

Only time will tell

Are there any good bicycle shops that sell the normal Electric Bicycle

Has anyone got one?

Any good or bad reports

It was a Local company Manos in Australia who imported the berries from China

They also buy from other countries

It was the Frozen ones here

So i guess beware in Thailand fresh ones also

Our local fresh berries industry hope to sell more fresh berries

Always been a problem with anything imported to OZ

Little checking versus the full checking of local berries

No fair on the local producers

OP, perhaps the ride hasn't been serviced properly during that high-ish mileage eh........

It all depends on Who did the Services

Ford Dealer or local Service Man?

What was written in the Service Record

A friend has a Ford Feista only 2 years old

It was shuddering when driving

Went to Ford dealer Told has to have a seal replaced

Under warranty as part was faulty Maybe made in Turkey

The service lady say fix under warranty

Had a friend go to pick it up after repair under warranty

Was told 800 baht

Friend had to go to see then then told service manger

Part fixed under warranty

He gave in and gave her the car with no payment

Typical of any service manager

Try to get you to pay Under Warranty

This is Thai Style

Waiting to see if this man is charged

What will happen to him

Great news

I wonder if this was an alternative of the 711 that was suggested in a early meeting with immigration officer

Maybe Bangkok Immigration thought this was a better way

Than pay 711 to do it for them

Will make it much easier for people to not bog up the Immigration office

Might get more people thought wanting to do there Yearly Visa

I have heard it is a good place to stay

Has anyone else been there

The Embassy have been to Chiang Mai Last year

I think they try to come up 1 or 2 times a year

They think they are helping people who can not come down to Bangkok

Just looking to see as if they are doing something

But not really supporting so many in Chiang Mai

I have used the massage school for massages in the past
