Thank you for that response.  That is why I asked for the price of the genuine article from you!

I now have a benchmark figure to work from!

I use Lazada a lot but normally only for things I know about and have had very few problems.

 

Thanks again!

 

Lazada Samsung store for genuine product.

I use the Samsung Smart Tag 2 on my Fender Guitar. I just duct taped it to the neck bolt.

 

Easy to stick a Smart Tag on a motorcycle.

 

Can track the tag on my Samsung phone.

 

I also tag my suitcases and condo keys.

Yes, I have two tags. Excellent buys.

Not really the same thing  

Indeed, not really the same thing, but will it achieve what is wanted? If tracking a stolen bike, then yes. Also does not need wiring to the bikes battery, no sim card either.

Anyway, just suggesting an alternative. Nothing wrong with a gps tracker either if that is your preference,

Can anybody tell me a good replacement for Chow Soy. I like Chinese (English style) and for me Chow Soy was perfect. Searching seems to show good Chinese restaurants but not the English style.

I am sure that I saw somewhere that the Chow Soy cook was retained at the new establishment. so maybe go in and ask.

The bar is now called "Dinky's" I believe.

Have you made any similar Fill in's and guides, TM7, TM47, for example?

EDIT: I found your TM7 guide. Many thanks again.

Hi, I have been the last couple of years and the parking for our car was free.

I've seen Pattaya Triumph arrange test ride days, Distinguished Gentlemen Charity Rides and support Biker Cafe events.  They seem to very active.

 

They also answered by query about the new 400 (arrives at end of year).

Thank you.

I also like the look of the new 400 bikes ????

Hi,

Do you have to oil or similar to the inside of the silicone to aid loaf removal?

Thanks

The dealers do organize rides and they used to visit the factory, this is not a regular thing though, also being where they are it's a <deleted>ty ride from Bangkok, no matter how short  

Thank you for the info.

I guess the local Triumph dealer in Pattaya may do this?

Thanks for the replies guys.

I contacted the UK visitor experience on Facebook, who confirmed that it does not have this in Thailand.

Hi,

In the UK, the Triumph factory has a Triumph Factory Visitor Experience, which is a factory visit described here: https://www.triumphmotorcycles.co.uk/for-the-ride/experiences/factory-visitor-experience

Does anyone know if there is something similar at one of the factories in Thailand?

Thank you.

That's a pretty good price given the price of other 400cc bikes on the market. I actually like the look of it even though retros aren't my thing.

 

I do believe it is a branding exercise though. This is basically a Bajaj bike with Triumph styling and logos on it. It does seem to be an excellent fit and finish though... It would make a good city bike/commuter.

A good point as you mention the excellent fit and finish, so I would say that it's basically a Triumph designed bike, built to Triumph standards by Bajaj. Semantics by myself, as I am a Triumph fan. Similarly, as Bajaj build some KTM's. Also remember, most Triumphs are made in Thailand now, very few in England.

Yeah I visit the website every morning.

 

Did you notice they are not yet available ?

Always the same every year, I don't know why they have to leave it so late. 

Have you noticed that also the hotels are sold out even before the race date is announced. Someone is getting insider info. We have to stay in Surin again.

FYI. The Malaysia GP is two weeks later, and the tickets have been available for some time already.

I brought my ADV350 from Mityon Honda on Theprasit rd Pattaya. Ordered it in April, arrived 6 weeks later in June.

Well worth the wait, as it is a fantastic bike.

Check here. https://pec.thaihonda.co.th/Default.aspx

That's a handy link. Thank you.

Hi. Just a quick update. I did eventually take the plunge and brought the ADV 350. Absolutely love it. Very easy to ride and comfortable. A surprising turn of speed also. It is the first Honda scooter I have owned, I also own an Aerox. The stand out points are how smooth it is to ride, the engine is real smooth and suspension great. The fit and finish is also very good.

After riding it for nearly 5 months, I would not hesitate to buy again.

Cheers.

I have seen the Click 160 in Mityon Honda, Thep Prasit rd, Pattaya.

I saw loads of reviews... saw it in the flesh at the motorshow. They weren’t taking orders (or rather, they weren’t taking any more orders). 

 

Called around plenty of dealerships - with the ‘No have’ or ‘booking full’ response...  

 

It seems like its already an incredibly popular bike.

I asked about availability of the ADV350 in two of Mityon Honda Pattaya shops (Mityon has pretty much a monopoly in Pattaya) and also Bowin Honda dealers Chonburi. None knew when they would get stock. I asked if they had any update at all from Honda, and they said they are told nothing.

How can Honda not give at least some time scale, 1 month, 2 months, whatever? Surely they have a production schedule, even if there is a chip shortage.

When asked, none of the staff even knew where the bikes for Thailand where made. One guessed at Vietnam!

FYI, It is not just Honda having new bike supply difficulties. I was in the Yamaha dealers and they had a new XMax. I asked how long was the waiting time for that, and was told that was ordered in January. Secon hand prices will be going up at this rate!

What can I say, even better.... 5 years ! , they changed my friend's Aerox dash LCD free when it died and it was even after 30k km. 

 

Honda told me the LCD blue light that died on my Forza dash is not even under warranty....!!!!

 

Yes, my friend's Aerox dash went the same. Free replacement, even though the bike was 4 years old, and when brought the bikes had 3 years warranty. As mentioned is now 5 years on new Aerox/Nmax. FYI, it did take about 3 months for the new dash to arrive,

Thanks for all the replies.

As suggested, I'll change to a local Chonburi plate first. Don't mind spending a few quid on agent fees if it saves all the hassle of going to the LTO.

Transfer has to be done at the LTO where the bike is registered.

I've bought two bikes from out of province. Bangkok + Surin. I live in Chonburi. 

First one the guy rode the bike down to me with all the paperwork but I had to ride it back to Bangkok to change title. The second I bought in Surin  and used an agent at Banglamung LTO to transfer title and re-register in Chonburi. Cost me about THB 3000.

I re-register to avoid having to go avoid the hassle of getting to the original LTO when I sell the bike.

If you are needing the name of the Chonburi agent I used , let me know.

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, please let me know the agent you used to transfer the registration to Chonburi. FYI, I am in Pattaya.
