Try beer Archa at 32-35 THB per big bottle.

Also, buy cheese from Macro, can get 2kg of Mozzarella, Cheddar or Gouda for under 700THB.

Pizza Company pizza really sucks, so oily, i am sure they fry it!!!!! <deleted>?

Try Jolly Frog in Kanchanaburi or Joh's place in Chiang Mai for a really good pizza for little more than 100 THB. When i go to those cities I eat pizza for breakfast, lunch and supper so that when i get back to my non-Italian-pizzeria town, i am so sick of pizzas that I can hold off until the next long weekend.

I can fully agree with that assessment. Bangkok used to be cheap, but it ain't any longer. Almost every supermarket visit these days easily sets me back 2,500 Baht or more - and no, I am not stocking up on imported cheeses or expensive wines, just normal groceries. And when I see that fast food pizza (yuck!) can cost up to 399 Baht, then I am wondering who would still consider Bangkok a cheap place.

Yeas, taxi fares are still dirt cheap, and you easily can get a delicious one-plate meal at a small neighbourhood food stall for 40 Baht. But even my local barber now takes 200 baht for a cut. A large bottle of beer costs at least 44 Baht (Chang) even at the cheapest mom-and-pop store, with premium brands up to 65 or even 70 Baht. A local beer in a hotel bar for 250 Baht ++? Out of the question.

excellent

'...A cigarette after unprotected sex followed by a motorcycle ride home after drinking Thai whiskey. Thailand's life on the edge.'

That makes sense. OK, keep the wolves away from your sister and let them attack somebody else in your party. At the same time, your sister will continue to become more popular so that when the time comes, you can install your sister as PM and she would have been saved from the slander. Good luck to you Thaksin. I have read some articles about education in Thailand and the current management seems to be lost.

Well ok let's not scarify my sister, let scarify someoneelse in case democrats attack. This is what is called family value

:realangry:

Thanks for the info Snakebite. I have a NS150E 1994

A few months ago my RC valve bust. I think the electronic unit is the thing that busts. mine might need a new servo too. I know a guy here (Ratchaburi-100km from BKK) who owns a motorcycle scrap yard, where bikes that have crashed get stashed, about 100 crashed and totaled bikes stashed there. I went there tonight because the 2 mechanics i have asked to get me an RC valve system could not find one. Nice to know i can buy a new one from Honda, albeit at 5500THB-eish! This second hand one i'm getting from the scrap yard might be OK for a while although these RC's are known to short out over time.

At the moment I have my cylinder re-bored to 175cc (number 4 head) and a bigger carburettor. The last mechanic who tried to (unsuccessfully) fit an RC valve couldn't do it right after three tries and then he just used some wire on the servo to set it at half open and half closed. Now it has half a power band and starts half as easily as it should. i gotta get me an RC valve.

Even without an RC, my bike cruises comfortably (below 9000rpm) at 140 km/h and goes to 12k rpm.

All the seals and bearings have been changed and the fuel intake has been bored larger. The future of my bike is feeling good. When i get this RC business done with then it's time to get an after-market exhaust belly. I have been reading all about TYGA and brands such as Dog Fighter and Arrow crop up. But in truth, in Thailand, the drag racing after market two stroke of choice is DBS. That will add a handful of horsepower to my bike. To think that now, without an RC valve, my bike goes 170, then i get another handful of RC horses then another handful of DBS exhaust horses. Holy shit! And some of these guys on this blog are raving about CBR150R's

Pah! at 15-18 horsepower those things are no match for a 30 HP stock NSR 150 SP. (they are actually touted by Honda as 39HP but I don't believe it because I saw dyno runs online at much less.) My NS150E will go beyond 30HP after 5000THB well spent. Those CBR150R's do look great though. seriously, i am buying one for my girlfriend. Fuel economy really sucks with my NS too, but will be a bit better after the RC valve (without which my bike is emitting too much unused fuel)

CBR's look nice but even a cbr250r would have troubles with an NSR150 with an after-market exhaust-oh, and an RC valve that works. Yes, i am not kidding, even those fancy new 130 000THB CBR250R's will not beat a well tuned NSR150.

Jingjing, I think you will find out that the resistor is bad in the RC motor. Honda doesn't sell just the resistor (they want you to buy the whole thing for 5100 baht) but I was lucky enough to have a friend that knew someone to fix mine. I should be getting it back next week.
