Buriram, Surin, Khon Kaen (plus several others) do NOT do a check at 3 months after your application. Jomtien, for example, do.

A friend is waiting for a decision on an application submitted on 20th June; that is just over 10 weeks. I read of someone waiting 14 weeks but do others have knowledge of current processing time.

I have had my Forza 300 for a couple of years and I like it. As an overweight 60+ year old it is the perfect bike for cruising locally at 80-100 kph. It has sufficient acceleration to get away from traffic lights swiftly and the power makes overtaking pretty comfortable. Slight issues with stationary weight but I have managed to deal with most situations (mainly by not creating a situation!). I am unlikely to embark on touring to any great extent and my journeys out of town are 20/30km. I do the occasional light shopping trip so Bobbers like the Rebel 300 are probably out. Friends have said that the latest Forza is not as good to drive as the older version......more importantly the missus doesn't like the Forza and would favour a different bike that she could get her hands in 2/3 years time. What else should I be looking at? The ADV 350?, the XMax?

Never had a knee problem until I slipped on my daily walk last year and banged my right knee. After a week of pain I was able to resume walking although I would get occasional restrictive pain. The pain has become worse over the last 6 months and is currently affecting quality of life and daily activities (walking, bowls etc) Last month I visited a doctor at the naval hospital in Sattahip and an X-Ray was taken. The doctor prescribed Celebrex 200mg (NSAID) plus a muscle relaxant. I completed the prescribed course of tablets (which I think helped) but as want to try to avoid being tablet dependent I did not get a repeat prescription. After a week or so I bought Diclofenac from a local pharmacy to take on an 'as and when needed' basis. The Sattahip doctor said if I did not see an improvement I should consult a knee specialist. I would welcome advice from anyone with a similar conditions, and advice on the options available to me.
