Windshield on my Vios needs replacing. I live about 1 kilometre south east of the moat.

Any idea what it might cost? Thanks.

I made a couple of transactions early in 2013 for which the paperwork I usually keep has vanished. I need to find out the account name and numbers for these transactions. Neither the bank book nor the online records contain this information.

The branches said they couldn't help and told me to contact the call centre. The call centre was able to give me the name and contact details for the branch. When I ring the branch they tell me that if I want the information, I have to show up in person. The problem is the branch is in Bangkok and I'm Chiang Mai. I asked if I could fax copies of passport, bank book etc - no go. I asked if I could send a representative - no go.

Has anyone been in this situation and found a way around?

Wave 110i, 60Km/l

Scoopy/Click 110i, 45Km/l

It makes a big difference.

That's quite significant. I thought the gap would be narrower. Although i suppose you need to ride a lot like I do for it make $$ difference.

Is there much difference in fuel economy in auto and manual scooters (for the same engine cc)? I'm talking about scooters made in the last couple of years. I'm guessing a manual bike would have the edge on the highway over long distances but that doesn't apply to me. 99% of the time I will be city driving.

Just go rent a scooter you are thinking of buying and see how you like it. Rent another similar scooter to compare it to. repeat as often as needed. Then go to the showrooms and see what deals are available at that time. Far better than a faceless website review.

For me that would be phase two. Phase one; Internet

Can anyone recommend any websites that do things like reviews, side by side comparisons or user ratings? For example comparing fuel economy between various makes and models would be handy.

A farang friend needs regular blood tests done to monitor the levels of certain hormones over a period of about 3 months. Has anyone found any of the hospitals/labs to be cheaper than the rest? I wouldn't expect there to be much variation but given that he is on a budget and will need to monitor around 3 hormones every 2 weeks it's worth seeing if some money can be saved.

Send me a private message if you prefer.

Why not try a massage before resorting to chemicals?

Tried that, along with stretching.

Does anyone know of any muscle relaxants suitable for extremely stiff or pulled muscles? Want to try a pharmacy med first. If that fails will see a doctor.

Thanks for that. Yes there are strategies for digging these things up using Thai keywords. I asked on this forum because I hoped that someone would recommend a channel they thought was quite good (as opposed to me using the above method and finding something good by trial and error). Cheers

One way to do it is to put in to Google Translate (English to Thai) 'Western Food'. Take the Thai translation and put it in YouTube search box. Example channel I found was FoodTravelTVChannel.

//Edit - looks like the video is not playing on TV so click on Watch on Youtube.

My Mrs wants recipes she can watch when it suits her. Are there any popular cooking channels on Youtube? Would prefer Youtube because I can download them for her and play back on the TV.

Funny coincidence, second helium balloon thread in three days.

I suggest you better get in contact with a specialist shop and ask about the opportunities.

I doubt they will rent a full size helium gas cylinder.

Thanks heaps

I don't know if helium can be bought in small cans anywhere in CM? Just need some for 30 or so balloons for a friends party.

One of our floor fans is an oddball brand (Caribbean) so it's hard to find a replacement blade. A shop with a big range would probably improve my chances.

It would be easier just to buy a new fan but chucking out a fan just because a small part is broken doesn't sit will well with my desire to environmentally friendly...

BTW I live close to Phantip Plaza

How will you ride it away?

Or don't these places care if you can ride it properly?

Have ridden a clutch a couple of times. I just need some regular practise to get it smooth.

I want to rent a clutch bike for a while to get the hang of the whole clutch-foot-throttle coordination.

Can anyone recommend a rental shop that has small (scooter sized) clutch bikes? I've seen plenty of large clutch bikes for rent but no small ones yet.

maybe i miss read your post thought you were looking for a replacement LAPTOP adapter(transformer) to plug into mains. 19 volt 3-4 amp output.if you are that shop does have them. looks like the same ones that come with your laptop. plastic box approx the size of 2 cigarette box... have a look there if thats what your looking for thay have em. i bought one there 19volt as well a month or so ago...

Yes, your previous post shows a photo of a power supply. A power bank is basically an external battery that can plug into multiple devices (phones, tables, laptops) to recharge the device's internal battery. Serves as an alternative to carrying around a power supply or where mains power is not easily available.

cheap ones down on chang moi road. small electronic shop next to the honda parts store. i bought on there 19 volt 3-4 amp i think was 450 baht. mikes burger on thapae turn left down the one way street. 200 meters or on right...

take your old one with you.

or Amorn shop on the moat by computer plaza usually has em.. little more money there 1-300 more...

Seems impossibly cheap.. Perhaps you are thinking of a power supply that connects to the mains?

Might be easier and cheaper to buy an extra battery for your laptop.

Thought about that. The only down side is switching batteries in and out of the laptop to charge them and also have to Hibernate the Laptop for a battery switch when on the go. I need a power bank to keep my phone going anyway so less kit to carry around if one bank serves two devices.

I went to about 10 different shops today at Panthip. None of them had one that could charge a laptop. My particular one requires 19V which is higher than for phones and tablets. Power banks that can handle this are available, just haven't seen onr in Chiang Mai.

Been doing a little research and Titanium cookware seems to be the ants pants in terms of longevity and non-stick. Not sure if that's available here but will post back if I find it.

Does anyone have experience with non-stick cookware purchased in Thailand that is better than the stuff that comes with most cheap pans (I'm talking about the dark brown PTFE coating)? This stuff is easily scratched even when washing it, can burn and in my experience despite being 'non-stick', food sticks to it very easily

Provided it's a high standard of non-stick AND it is durable I'm not too worried about the expense.

Has anyone ever done it through Lazada?
