UKJASE

i wish i was there tonight for sasha!! if anyone went, put us a report up on here would you

i bet the man like rocked it

Sinatras Soi 102 has just started to stock Stowford Press for 59B a half and 135B a pint

yes, the cider at sinatra's is really nice and always plenty of freindly faces in the bar too.... a great little spot

pic attached (i hope)

When you said a bike I though you meant a BIKE. The Dane was into bikes?? Did he have a pony tail, a leather vest and a goatee? Must have looked really funny on this "bike".....

he used to be a biker yea...... i guess this was his run around for the mrs or something, but he did used to look after the bike he told us and stripped it down and taken care of it etc

plus he had a big hells angel type bike sticker on the fridge (which took ages to peel off - real hardcore glue)

Op back.......

cheers for valuable replies people.....

so are you saying if i go to the local transport office at Pranburi and explain the situation, there is nothing at all they can do for me except hit me with an unpaid taxes bill?

surely this kind of thing must happen fairly regularly and the authorites would prefer to see the bike back on the road legally, than being driven around illegally?

Also, the unpaid taxes bill would not exceed 1000B would it, as i imagine the bike has been off the road a max of 6 years (although the guy i got it from when i bought the house used to use it to go into hua hin quite regularly on it).... does anyone know what the yearly fine is for unpaid tax?

thanks again guys

so the only way i can get it legal again is to find out who the owner is and track them down?

is that correct?

any idea how i could go about that? could i talk to the traffic office here and ask them to contact the last registered owner??

That is a lot of work for a $300 bike eh?

depends how rich / lazy you are i suppose.......

it just a shame to let a nice bike go to waste..... i feel she wants to be back out there amongst the oil and grime and soi dogs, but at the mo she is just gathering dust down our side alley....... like a caged and shackled tiger

so the only way i can get it legal again is to find out who the owner is and track them down?

is that correct?

any idea how i could go about that? could i talk to the traffic office here and ask them to contact the last registered owner??

what is blue book?

Has it got a number plate ?

sorry, i mean green book..... (quickly checks he has his blue book )

not sure what sort of bike it is, but the lad who we bought the house off was a dane who was well into bikes and looked after this one well he said. i have attached a picture of the bike....... it does have a number plate yes

PS i will attach a pic as soon as i work out how

hello guys, wondering if you can help me please

we bought a house about 14 months ago and the guy threw in an old ish motorbike in with the sale of the house

the bike was not in his name, and apparently belonged to someone who has left hua hin now, but was passed onto the guy who gave it to us (i have no doubt he was telling the truth)

are we able to tax this bike and use it with no blue book?

or, are we able to sell it, by first obtaining a blue book?

my wife is thai, i am 100% farang

need help please guys as it is a nice bike, but just sitting there unused at the minute

we travelled with the 999 company from hua hin to samui the other day and whilst waiting at the bus station in hua hin lots of buses stopped that were heading to phuket

all these buses will have come through cha am, and from our experience on our 999 bus, they will stop anywhere and pick up passengers, as long as the ticket is bought previously

999 were a good company for us, but not sure if they service the bkk - phuket route

i think hua hin is great for a night out..... if you have some good company then there are plenty of bars and beers and girls about, plus a few discos worth checking out late on

surely better than a lot of the towns and cities near to where i am from in england

its warm, its cheap, the food is good...... happy nights

...my favorite is the ~400pm air con all-Second Class diesel rain car to Bangkok.

Does that train end at a station near the BTS or MRT?

i think all trains end their journey at hualampong train station in bangkok..... and from there you can connect with the MRT

the trains are safer and more fun, but on average have always taken me 6 hours to get to bangkok

"On the left hand side heading towards the beach from the main lights."

is that near to Subway and mcdonalds then??.... will check them out.... love a good sarnie me.... hope they got tuna

i was making love on soi 102.... could it have been that ??

Phraya Nakhon temple in the cave is great.... get into the cave by about 10am so u can see it with sunlight on it's roof if you can

- it is a car journey of 40 mins from hua hin

in hua hin, the beach area directly across from Market Village (the shopping centre) is great

the old town area around the pier is interesting for a stroll late afternoon

Night Market and Grand Market are worth a walk around to in the evening.......

Bintabaht for bars and beers....... enjoy

last year all around the Bintabaht was full of drunken people and wet girls.... plus there was a big procession here, with lots of floats and music

also there was lots of people hanging out the front of Market Village, and this year i see they are doing a foam party too

happy songkran

the AC on our old car has been pretty ineffective these last few weeks, and my mate said the gas would need topping up, so i went to a garage he knew that could do this for me, and i asked the guy working how much......

he took a quick look under the bonnet (ie 30 seconds), and said "needs a new compressor"....... i asked him how much and he said 6500 B

i said ok, thanks for looking and drove off, as i didnt want to spend that much, plus i wanted a second opinion

i then went to Quik B on petchkasem road, just north of king's palace

he looked at it, got his big machine thing out, hooked it up, and filled it with gas..... took him about 15 minutes in all

great service, even put covers on the seats so his overalls didn't dirty anything etc (or maybe to stop his overalls from getting dirty)

i asked him how much, he said for free!!

happy days......

would defo recommend this garage, and my mate who knows about cars, says they have all the latest gear in for testing your motor

Quik B - definitely recommended

gee man - what an amazing photo!!!

we were on hill stand C2 and it was real good for the money..... we could walk around a fair bit and so could watch the race from different parts of the track...... the atmosphere was good here too, and the transport laid on within sepang to get us to our stand was more than adequate

we were unaware which of the red bulls had won though as the race finished (as the screen was too far away), so this meant we could watch it in the hotel later, not knowing the result

a great day had by all, and the wife really enjoyed it too

Sorry but after reviewing it all Thailand just isn't for me business wise.

what put you off britgent?? corruption....... language barriers....... red tape...... double pricing??

hey guys, thanks for the answers....

i found a small broker office in town today, and the insurance for malaysia and indonesia is 980B all in for 18 days.....

so happy with that.... i think the main company behind the insurance was AIG

you can search ebay products for only thai sellers if i remember right......

what sort of clothes mate? which labels are you interested in?

hey guys, we are travelling to Malaysia and Indonesia this weekend

will my wife need to take out a medical insurance policy, or as we are travelling to ASEAN countries, will she have medical insurance already?

i know in the EU we are covered if we have an accident in another EU country, and wondered if the same applied in ASEAN countries?

if not, can anyone recommend a good insurance company where we can get insurance for her for our two week trip?

thanks guys
