  1. There are several agents in Pattaya that can do this. It will not be cheap though, 50K baht is what my friend paid.
  2. Looking for tire suggestions for my new Honda ADV 160. Has stock tires on, looking to replace them. In the rain, the rear tire will lose traction, and the bike wants to slide, especially when I'm on at the petrol station where the have that coating on the cement.
  3. Place the bike on the center stand, and spin the wheels, they should spin free, and true. Next start the bike and apply throttle, there should be no vibration Sounds like either, tire pressure in incorrect loose, or damaged front wheel bearings front axle bolt , bent, or not the right toque head bolt for steering loose The problem is the front wheel is breaking contact with road, which is causing the issues. I used to race dirt bikes in the states, and the above will cause the issue you are having.
  4. My friend, US expat opened a second bank account on Thursday at Bangkok Bank in Kanchanaburi, and had no issues. He has a existing bank account with them, but he needed a second account without a ATM for his US Social Security deposits. Took him maybe a hour if that.
  5. Exactly what I have done. I have 2 ATM cards for my account, and my Thai Girlfriend has one, with same pin number.
  6. The ECU, will need to be programed with your cars vin, and other information. Think of it this way. You buy a brand new laptop, and then add your email. music, photos, etc. Same with with replacement ECU. Anyone can program it provided they have a higher end OBDII diagnostic scan tool, such a Autel brand. I recently did one for friend's car in Kanchanaburi, where I live.using my Autel scanner maxi elite tool. They sell Autel scanners here in Thailand, so I'm sure a higher end repair shop would have one. What makes them think the ECU is bad ? Was it tested ?
  7. I live in Kanchanaburi, and love it. Plenty to see and do. A group of us, go into the jungle via 4X4, and explore the remote sites from World War 2.
  8. No, I don't mind. Unlike the 90 percent here I love living here, no regrets at all. I retired in Kanchanaburi in 2018 , and have never had a issue ever. I would live no where else. Again from reading the posts here, 90 percent here are nothing but old age drama queens. Their are Miserable people, know matter where they live.
  9. I'm an American expat living in Kanchanaburi. Love it here. Close enough to Bangkok, 2 hours if you need anything. Nice little expat bar area, low key, but fun. Plenty here to keep you busy, and the scenery . On costs, you can rent a nice 1 bedroom floor level apartment near the river for less than 100 Used per month. So yes, with your 1100 USD per month, you can live well, and put some aside for savings. Pm me if you have any questions.
  10. Have American friends living here in Thailand. The husband is 62, and the American wife is under 50. The husband has his Non-O visa. From what we understand, the wife can get a Non-O visa based upon marriage . They filled out the paperwork online with Thai E visa , printed the forms out, and presented them to local immigration, as per the website. Local immigration said "no" you must apply outside the county. Anyone know the correct method ?
  11. I have 99 percent feeling that on Jan 20th , they all will be released. The US will have REAL leader in office, not some old man that can't make it to the bathroom, yet alone run the US. Trump said there "will be hell to pay ", if the hostages are not released before Jan 20th. The man doesn't make idle threats.
  12. You can test the amp draw of the starter while it's on the bike, with battery tester. The more amps it draws, the more it is going bad. I have battery tester, that not only tests the battery condition, but also the starter, and charging system. Easy and simple to use. Gives you good idea how much life is left in the starter. Bought mine from Amazon in the states, but have seen them Ladaza here in Thailand.
  13. 10 Million Baht ? Really ? Sounds like made up story to me. if it was say, 100K Baht, ya I could see it then.
  14. It's actually for a friend of mine, He and his wife have retired to Thailand. I think they are going to go the Non-O for her, she is 33.
  15. I read that is only good for 90 days the NON-O visiting Non Thais. can it be extended ?
