This released from Honda, What do you know about the new Spacy or Wave 110 Brian ?

So how many of those arrest were for horrible crimes like Smoking in public or drunk and disorderly ?

As a few last notes now I am back in Thailand

KL does not have nearly as many ATM's as Thailand, They are harder to find. Maybe 3 or 4 at the malls

KL does not have nearly as many 7 - 11 as Thailand when you want your snacks and things.

Though I like many things about Malaysia. I could not live there. But will be back in 15 months to get my next one

Chok Dee !

1- There is no such thing as a Marriage Visa, it's an extension based on Married to a Thai

Really ???

I just got mine. From the Embassy. Says it right on it.

Many of the Custom sigh shops that make stripes and stickers for cars have reflective too in several colors. Add something you like and make yourself seen better. Keep yourself and wonderful wife safer on the road

It's all about being seen and at night with your new black ride, you need all the help you can get

i whish i had more than 4 gears on my ksr (165CC)

Kawasaki CM has a 6 speed kit for the KSR with clutch. They also have a Motor kit to boost it to 25 hp

Just curious but is that the same hp as a Wave 125i ?

I think the wave had 9 or 9.8 something like that?

Wave 110 = 8.9 Wave 125 i 9.8 hp

They rate this 9.7 hp ???

Fish and chips are the British bar (who is a sponsor) on loi Khro Road

Also that mall at the end of the night Bazaar, Pan Tip Plaza, 4th floor for fish tacos

At most food courts is a place that does fish and rice, I say hold the rice and add french fries. Cheep 55bt.

Cant understand why if you are married you would go for the retirement visa rather than a extendtion.

for me having immigration VISIT ME is not a problem.I having to visit them every 90 days or another country is.

so again i asked what are my options with regard to not having to visit immigration or leave Thailand

I am not sure where your at. I deal with Chiang Mai Immigration. Before I was married I had a Non O B visa. It was over 400 pages of document, interviews of all 89 employees at my work by not 1 but 4 immigration officers. And not once but twice Multiplier visits to the immigration office and then not deciding yes or no until after my visa expired. After doing this twice, and playing their games, I chose not to go near the CM Imm office any more if I don't need to.

Having them visit me is not really a problem, not hiding anything, neighbor is a policeman. Sure I have been to more police stations in Thailand than 99.9% of the reader here

I can't say what your options are ? I don't know you. your age, paperwork, etc. I started looking at Thai Visa that has many good links. Then looked at the Immigration web site and links, that was a start for me. I choose what works best for me at this point in my life

As a side note; Running around town, the nicer Blue taxi's always use their meters. They are a slightly high costing cab but better units and the others seem not to want to use their meters and the blue ones end up costing well less

As you have been married to a Thai lady for a while and have had the 3 years contionious Non O visa,

I assume that you qualify for to apply for residency.

Dont want to snoop about your private life ,but if so,what are the inns and out of not applying for it

I will Apply for residency at some point, however there are a few more things to it like Paying tax so many years and other issues. All that I am working on

So today between 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. is the pick up time. I got there at 2:45, walked right in and up to the window, Handed over my "Q" number given the day before and receipt. Within seconds my new Non O m Multi visa was handed over. Not a word was said and I was back into the taxi waiting out side in about 2 minutes. Thinking back, I think during the whole process I as asked nothing and nothing was spoken to me. Easy, smooth, no surprised. Because I am a worry wort, I have and extra day "just in case" but in 3 years never had to use it.

Some have pointed out this is not the lowest cost to go, but my heading says nothing about a Cheep Charlie visa run. My wife and I have had a wonderful trip, Sure we could have done it for 1/3 the cost or less, but did not. For about $1000 we have had a nice few days here. I feel my wife has a better understanding of some trouble I have in Thailand not understanding everything and communication problems I some times have. for me, clearly worth every thing I have paid and now feel my relationship is now closer to my wife.

Good question for a no mans land. And like when your in transit stopping and transferring planes but not stamped in ?

Being Married (truly) to a THai I found 2 options for me.

!.) Extendtion based on Marraige

or

2.) Non Om visa.

The extendtion route you can maybe stay in Thailand, First you need to start with a Non O visa. Have 400,000 in the bank for over 2 months, have a home inspection, neighbor interviews, etc. So if you start with a Non o you don't have to leave but have Immigration all over you life and several visit to Immigration.

On the other hand, the Non Om I only need 100,000 in any bank anywhere and only needs to be there a day prior. No interview, no home inspections, easy. Yes I have to leave, but enjoy the time traveling and exploring near by countries. Can be for an hour or several days, just doesn't matter.

Most trying to get a extendtion based on Marriage are strongly advised to go the retirement route. I want to work so that is not an option.

Traveling clears my head and shows me what is good and what is not in Thailand.

It also helps my wife better understand the world around her. Something most Thai's just don't understand

7000+5500+6000/night. 1900 at the local Immi.

Not sure what is 1900 at the local Immigration. Clearly not a 15 month care free visa

Oh I think headaches are 1900 Bt and last a week

Maybe I missed your answer...... do you leave Thailand within your "15 month care free visa" period more than once?

MSPain

Yes. I get 90 days any time I enter Thailand with no reporting. Usually I do need to come and go, sometimes many times a week and each time I get 90 more days up to t total of 15 months. If you Do Not want to travel or leave Thailand this Visa is not for you and you get to visit the Immigration Circus

7000+5500+6000/night. 1900 at the local Immi.

It's their "honeymoon"

I always had the impression that Jeffrey have been married for a long time. Guess I was wrong.

Congrats Jeffrey.

I have been a few years, But as my wife learned English maybe too well she learned the word Honeymoon so 2 birds 1 stone kind of thing

Family friendly Pattaya for you

I had really good luck and dealer service when I purchased my Triton as well as second March. But my first March the dealer sales and service sucked.

Not sure I would call the fiesta a "micro" car like you did but that's not the point here

Diesel is 30 Bt per Ltr, E20 is 32 bt.per liter and 91 about 95 so I am confused about it being 14 baht more

Scoopy i 12 also comes with the same fat tires as the Zoomer as well as the same engine set up at a lower cost and styled more like the Fino

Personally I like the Spacy i it too is the same bike with a different body and at 39,900 a real bargain in my eyes

Honda announced a new 125cc motorcycle aimed for youths that draws its inspiration from the Honda Monkey mini-bikes first introduced in the ’60s. The new 2013 Honda MSX125(which stands for “Mini Street X-treme 125″) will be manufactured in Thailand. At the moment, it has been confirmed for Europe and Japan, but there is no word about U.S. availability.

The MSX125 is powered by a 125cc air-cooled two-valve single-cylinder engine withHonda‘s PGM-FI fuel injection system inherited from the Honda Wave 125i underbone motorcycle that’s popular in Asian markets. Honda claims an output of 9.7 hp at 7000 rpm and 8.0 ft-lb. at 5,500 rpm. The engine has some low-friction features such as an offset cylinder and roller-rocker arms. This should help the MSX125 provide good fuel economy though Honda did not release any fuel consumption estimates.

Power is delivered through a four-speed transmission and chain drive to the 12-inch aluminum rear wheel. Yes, the wheels have a scooter-sized 12-inch diameter, but the small diameter also highlights the thickness of the 120/70-12 front and 130/70-12 rear tires. The front wheel has a two-piston brake caliper gripping a 220mm disc while a single-piston caliper grips a 190mm disc at the rear. Suspension is provided by a 31mm upside-down fork, a first for a 125cc Honda, and a rear monoshock.

Honda registered four new patents in develop the MSX125, specifically related to the split structure tank cover and the steel mono-backbone frame. The split structure allowed Honda engineers to position the PGM-FI components and other electrical parts inside the tank cover without compromising the capacity of the 1.45 gallon fuel tank.

Other features include a projector headlight, LED taillight and an LCD displaying speed, twin trip meters, fuel gauge and clock. The seat is a low 30.1 inches off the ground, suitable for the MSX125′s target market. Also helpful is the claimed curb weight of 224 pounds.

The 2013 Honda MSX125 will be produced in four colors: Asteroid Black Metallic, Pearl Himalayas White, Pearl Queen Bee Yellow and Pearl Valentine Red.

Went to Chinatown tonight. Taxi's talk in English but though the door says meter and no haggling, it is still done. Where in Thailand at the markets I can often talk down. 20 or 23% here in China town we could talk down 75% on average.

Thanks for the update, I'll be along there in another couple months,

Last time we stayed in apartments across from the Thai consul which were nice, 2400 from agoda, and walking down past the consul and walk across the overpass to the opposite side of the roadbthere's a nice resteraunt there, can't remember it's name but it was decked out to look like a train station, food ok there too if I remember

Stayed at the Victoria Inn your talking about last time. It is OK and all the food choices here are nice. I even noticed a "Wendy's" here today

7000+5500+6000/night. 1900 at the local Immi.

Not sure what is 1900 at the local Immigration. Clearly not a 15 month care free visa

Oh I think headaches are 1900 Bt and last a week

As a note, I have found a huge 20% difference in exchange rate from place to place so be careful. Thailand they are all really close to the same.

Off to china town to look around

Is that a double or triple-entry you got for 5,500baht?

really it is unlimited, Multi entry, as often as I want for up to 15 months with no re entry permit
