where every you go make sure they are not using a generic film ... insist at the very least M3 is used .. geneic (cheap Chinese sh*te) starts the break down very quickly.

Do you have to photo copy your updated bank book proof of money page ?  or do they just check the original bankbook ( No copy needed) ?? I'd hate to waste 10 baht on a copy I do not need lol

Sound like a great excuse to Cancel Song Khran 2020 too me ... in the spirit of water conservation of cause  ... every cloud has a silver lining ????

I love it when you post something to try and help ,then the naysayers come on ,and have a go ,its to far i will spend to much on petrol ,what has Robinsons got that T 21 hasnt got , 

get a life boys . the glass is half full ,not half empty , some of us live on the side of Pattaya that is quite close to Sri Racha ,its a straight run ,to the hospital there . 

Its a nice hospital ,hardly any wait and it makes a change to go to Robinsons , i dont want to go to the same place day after day after day ,i have a life , so have you ,get out more ,go different places  stop being negative .

If you class getting out more is going to 'Robinsons" I would suggest maybe you should get out more and go to different places .  LOL . (a light hearted response not meant to offend ???? )

I use shell V power 29.94 Baht ltr  my 3.2 ltr pick-up averages 10.4 ltrs/100km = 9.615 km per ltr 

78 km /9.615  =  8.112 ltrs used  X 29.84 = 242.06 baht for the round trip ... yes my maths was out by 42 baht I under calucated.

And what has Robinsons shopping Mall got to offer over and above ..  Central/Terminal21 and others that it can entice me to travel a extra 78 km round trip ..

PS Live 23 KM south of BBK hosptial 

BKK hospital to sri racha Hosp   38 km each way= 76 km   total journey time for each way 40 mins  each way = 80 minute give or take    I'd rather pay BBK price knock off 200baht off for my fuel  bring it down 795 bath .... 80 minute extra not worth save another 200baht....

False economy

Spoked rims are like tinfoil. You wouldn't catch me riding on a conversion depending on them to hold air. Just get the mags.

For adventure bikes  spoked wheel are the way to go ....they are more forgiving on the off road enviroment ..but for high speed road usage I would agree with you .....not many adventure bikes under 20000 dollars have mags ....even high end BMW GS come with spoked wheels ...but they are way out my price bracket.

Not being funny but we are not in the UK and the level of workmanship is entirely different here

For a road going bike it's just not something that I would let these guys do

Did he actually get a guarantee on the work that they would not leak after they were converted?

As for doing this on the front wheel with no safety bead I just hope he doesn't come to regret that decision.......

He did the convertion him self and he is more than happy with the result ..... just found a similar post on youtube you might find interesting .....  it's all about personal choice at the end of the day

Do you know if your rims have safety beads?
Also are you off road or main road and what size bike?

Most places (if you can find them) won't offer any guarantee against leaks when they perform this job

All in all probably easier, cheaper (in the long run) and safer to get a new set of aftermarket rims made specifically for tubeless....

A friend back in the UK had his africa twin converted.....the rear wheel had the beads but the front did not ,he's not had a problem with either the front or rear ...over a 1 yrs trouble free motoring on and off road

I'm going out on a limb to say that you will need new alloy wheels to convert to tubeless. In which case any main dealer of your make of bike will do, wallet at the ready.

No !  this is not the case .. lots of products on the market these days and even more on youtube how to do a DIY convertion ... I am just too lazy to do it my self lol

Hello Peeps .

Does anyone know of a place in Pattaya or Chonburi/Rayong province that does a tube to tubeless tyre convertions for spoked motorbike wheels ??.

and has anyone had theirs converted and do you feel safe and confident  with the result

I know you can do it yourself but would rather pay someone whose got experience with this type of project .

Thanks in advance ????     

WOW !  You've lived  in Pattaya for nearly 6 yrs and you are asking about where to go where to eat in Pattaya.. 

Maybe you should have ventured out of your comfort zone before now and part taken in some of the local sights ,tastes and pleasures ...

Nong Nooch Tropical Garden is a pleasant day out ..

Wat Yannasangwararam Worawiharn 

both within a short hope from Pattaya

FYI:
for Cambodian car /bike to enter Thailand, from some one that did it in July 2019

 

A. From Had Lek/Koh Kong to Thailand:

Get yourself stamped out of Cambodia and drive your car across the Cambodian check post (car with Cambodian registration in your name only). Park your car in front of the Thai border gate. Walk into Thailand and get your passport stamped for entry. Take your stamped passport and the registration card to the counter (its the middle one of three counters facing the border gate) She will issue a Thai insurance policy valid for one year (800thb).

She will also the issue two import/export papers with your details.

Take these 2 papers and your registration card across the road to the customs department.
He will issue an import permit and a cardboard token.

These you take to the guard in a cabin at the entrance gate (again across from the customs office). The soldier will enter your details in a book an issue another token.
You then go back to your car and drive it into thailand were a soldier at the gate will take your token. You then advance to a barrier which will be opened after the gate-opener takes your import paper.

You are free now to drive into Thailand. There are 2 check posts on the road to Trat. At the second one near Trat town the police sometimes stop you and write down your details.

That's it for entering Thailand.

 

 

Thanks for all that info very useful ????  ...But I need to know the procedure taking a vehicle(Motor Bike) into Cambodia and returning approx 3 weeks later ...or it is a similar procedure entering Cambodia ??..especially the insurance bit.

You can add Chong Sa-ngam Crossing out of Si Sa Ket as this is for motorbike ONLY, no autos. As for insurance NO Thia vehicle is insurable in Cambodia.

Are you saying I can not even buy/get Third party only insurance ???  Most countries insist on a minimum of third party liability cover before being permitted to drive on their roads.. 

Hi All .

I am planning a 3 week road trip on my Motorbike which is in my name and Thai registered ...I will get a 30 tourist visa on arrival probably at Cham Yeam border crossing .. My question is what papers will I need to carry to cross into Cambodia with my Motorbike .. and can I exit back into Thailand at another border crossing further up north?  , and can I get Cambodian  bike insurance at or near the border .any intel will be very much appreciated .

Cheers for any help ????

I've just bought a Schuberth E1 flip up, 23K from Panda Rider in BKK.

 

Nice helmet but i'd not buy another flip up, too noisy.

Which model of the E1 did you get ??? there's a few to pick from and the price varies quite a bit...

I too would make a day trip to Bangkok. I actually bought my last one in the UK.... looked around in Pattaya and had no luck, we are all cheap Charlies here! I like to stay over one night in BKK and hit Soi Cowboy too... 

Yeah ! and after visiting Soi Cowboy you might need new helmet ...so better stay 2 nights lol

Hello all .... 

Where has the best selection of "QUALITY"  Motorbike helmets ( looking for Flip-up Style) in the the Pattaya area..  not interested in the cheapo mass market stuff you find in tesco/BigC or smaller Thai bike shops ...It's more about trying on for size and quality them seeing if I can buy that brand via the internet and saving a few sheckel.

PS max price will be in the region of 25000 Baht and under 

Thanks in anticipation   

Lazada  129 baht . Cash-on & Free on delivery .   just put Blu tack into there search .. then check/tick cash and free delivery ... and Bob's your uncle and you didn't even leave your arm chair ????
