A phase he's going through.

You needn't spend that much.

Maybe I was lucky. Stayed on campus during school hours (745 to 1630) and only had 2 days a year of Saturday work, 2 days of long trips.

My V-twin was a 1982 Yamaha Vision 550 - water cooled, 4 cams, 8 valves, shaft drive. A favorite.

Kow pat gai; chicken with cashew, no chilies at all, soon. Can't eat any other Thai food. I didn't move here for the food.

The CBR150 is low, very low. My short-legged Thai partner reaches the ground easily. I think it's as low as the Suzuki GN250 I had in Mexico. Specifications can be wrong.

Crisp thin bacon

Ham and white slices of turkey or chicken

No fried egg or cucumber

Crisp green lettuce

Crisp french fries or chips

Like Greenside's photo, and thanks to Earl

so, I have never driven anything but scooters which I take around all the time, but I am interested in ownign my first bike, whether scooter or a bike like the CBR. I owned a manual car in the past, but how steep is the learning curve? Would I likely be able to drive a CBR off the lot?

I will ask in the CM forums as well, but any reliable place to buy a CBR in Chiang Mai?

The gear pattern is different - down for first, up for neutral-2-3-4-5-6.

I use a small Tesco in the nearest town. Have to turn against traffic and find parking space for bike. After school, nearly impossible. But the clerks are polite.

what classes are you taking this year PB?

Chiang Mai is probably the cheapest area in Thailand that has lots of things that farangs want: Western and ethnic restaurants, decent bakeries, wine shops, cigar stores, movie rental places, English libraries, erotic nightlife, WE TV, The Red Lion with your host Kevin, The Dukes, etc.

I thought advertising was against the rules The red lion not exactly the best bar in cm

Lots of us CBR150 riders are 90 kilos and/or 187 cm tall. The riding position doesn't bother my wrists at all.

In my personal opinion as a foreigner with no fluency in Thai, ignorant, etc., the petition seemed pointless to legally accomplish a pardon. Now if a poster with a doctorate in Thai law has a better opinion, speak up.

From forum rules. "18) Not to discuss the specifics of prostitution. Thailand has a visible sex industry, and acknowledgment of that fact is not forbidden. However ThaiVisa is not the place to seek or give information on this topic, regardless of your sexual habits, preferences or orientation."

And that the petition was illegal.

1. cost of a standard, good 4-week course tuition US$1,500

2. 4 weeks - includes supervised teaching practice

3. Finishes by 1 May - good prospects

4. Must be employee to get work permit

5. 30-45 k PER MONTH

Read thread pinned, qualifications

What hourly rate do you pay?

Yes, every Thai schoolchild learns the electric lightbulb was developed by Somchai Edichasawalongse in Ayuttaya is 1776; the first controlled nuclear chain reaction was done by a team of Thai janitors cleaning the squash court at Khon Kaen University in 1441...

We paid 72,000 for our PCX.

Good of you to mention it, UG. I'll try it some day soon.

12,000 km/year, and I find myself in the wrong gear (counting six and neutral) maybe 2 or 3 times a week - not often. I still prefer manual. But I understand the mindless comfort of automatic.

I live in a 200 year old Chinese village in Cniang Mai province. I suspect my neighbors are far more Thai than Chinese by now.

Our neighbors, Chinese-Thai, have cats and dogs as pets, well cared for.

Shucks. I thought that was Marc Farber at the burger bar here in Chiang Mai this week, but it was some fat farang. My savings are currently in Euro equities.

Dogs and human medicine stuff don't mix well. My daughter's Golden Retriever ate a month's supply of ADD medicine and had to have his stomach pumped out.
