Its Thailand... and while there are area’s of Thailand with well surfaced roads with great views, cambered corners, nice and twisty which ‘could’ be enjoyable they are not because at every single corner is the risk of an idiot (lorry etc) coming in the other direction with overheated failed brakes or just some tool overtaking on a blind bend... 

 

Thailand is not a place to enjoy driving / riding... although some area’s are better than others, the enjoyment is relative. 

 

As far as twisties within a proximity of Bangkok - not really. 

Indeed, I would tend to think that also but in the past I have experienced some better road manners 2-3 hrs outside of BKK. The driving and space both diminishes equally as you get closer to the big smoke!

Bit more than ur 1 hour from Bangkok, but brilliant driving.

 

 

Thanks a lot!!! Appreciated - looks right on the map already with those wiggles. 

I have been searching in vain on and off for years for good driving roads within an hour or two reach from BKK. 

Am a car nut living in central BKK and, whilst I have the car and commute with it during the week (in gridlock trafffic) - the weekend I really feel suffocated that I can't seem to find good, quiet, curvy roads in the countryside near enough without driving 200km somewhere (i.e. getting a good morning's run before the misses calls in and blasts my absence). 

Anyone could recommend some good roads to do a bit of spirited driving? 

Thanks. 

I read somewhere that the 240bhp is in there once you press the Sport+ mode.

Has anyone dyno'd the standard car yet?

Hi All,

Thanks for all the responses. Situation is getting worst and worst and GF doesn't want to give birth in HK full stop.

My main point being that I from what I have read so far, if one parent is Chinese and has HK permanent residency, then child has a right to HK permanent residency (and thereby passport and also China "return home card) if no other nationality is taken up before.

Obviously if birth in Thailand then that will be that, right?

Or are there some "exit papers" one can get in Thailand instead of getting a nationality. However doesn't the child have to travel under his/her mother's passport? Doesn't that give the child a nationality?

Or what about registration in the Chinese embassy in Bangkok - will that help?

Thanks a lot guys. Really becoming a wreck here with this.

Hi All,

First time posting here and sorry if it can be found elsewhere, but really been wreaking my brains here.

I am a Hong Kong National, who is legally in Thailand working and with a UK passport (dual nationality) registered with my work permit.

Girlfriend (hope to be wife sometime soon, maybe) is Thai and will be giving birth to child. She wants to do it in Thailand.

From what I can deduce, Hong Kong is really strict and unless 1) Child birth in Hong Kong or 2) Child has not taken up a nationality and have legally entered Hong Kong using some other papers. Then and only then will he/she be entitled to my HK nationality (I cannot pass on my UK one).

My question is, if the child is born in Thailand to a Thai mother, then he/she will automatically "take up" the Thai Nationality, right?

And if not, then how, and what can I do to exit Thailand with child and enter HK? What papers are possible?

Thanks a lot in advance for all your help!
