  1. Come to stink about it, rot-motosais have only been common here for the last 20 to 30 years. The older generation may have shunned them. I don't see many over-45 Thai riders. Grandma may ride pillion side-saddle in a Friday Lanna tight skirt, but not often.

  2. Sukhumvit to HH 3 months ago. We negotiated 2000baht with a tout around main railway for taxi. No problem. Then Thai gf followed a couple of days later, and when negotiating with taxi said that we had paid 1600 so he matched it for her. 2000 is certainly do-able.

    Maybe from central BKK, but I don't think so from the airport! 2400B nearer the mark for decent transport and steady driver, not some lunatic on speed.

    agreed. from chinatown BKK to HHin in 2006, 2000 baht. From BKK Airport to HHin now, 2400. Wichai is good; cant find his number.
  3. I do not believe posters go to the same ten Sripat clinics I've gone to for last six years. Yesterday was first time I ever waited over an hour (1.5). Maharaj may take longer than cold November rain; not Sripat.
    Peace Blondie,

    How do you achieve that? We switched my MIL to Sripat because of the waiting time; it was worth paying extra not to spend the day. But, even so, when she has a 9 am appt so do who knows how many other people. She has to arrive between 7:30 and 8 to get in line for her 9 am appt. Last time we got her there at 7:30 and was still #2 for 9 am.

    I don't know. Maybe it's dumb luck or I look prettier than your MIL :) . I don't speak Thai and I go alone.

    I almost always have appointment a month or three in advance. I arrive no more than 30 minutes early. Maybe your MIL goes to 10 different clinics, like gyn.
