  1. Nothing in the article makes explicit the total reduction in duties, taxes, and fees that will attach to bikes bigger than 250cc's. In fact, mention of tax breaks for eco-cars makes the thrust of government intentions vague. Truth is, it's all in a negotiation stage with manufacturers interested in selling here, but the government not yet assuring charges on new bikes will be so low as they are on the PCX, or 250cc bikes.

    As for gray market bikes' owners being fined, I cannot understand why authorities would not confiscate the bikes that are unlicensed (and avoiding taxes and regulations), as they are in so much of the rest of the world?

    Google-The Wheel Deal-BKP. 27% reduction by 2017 on import tax of bikes. The take down of the illegal bikes in ALL of Thailand has just started or should say continues. If memory serve me the busting of all the big illegal bikes in 2007 and 2008 was for the reintroduction of Harley Davidson and Triumph return to the Thai market.

  2. Look for more enforcement of all bikes in the next few months as a big big change in Thailand's bike market is about to happen. Just follow the information given on TV Bike Forum.

    Japanese and European manufacturers want a slice of this rising demand

    This could well be considered as the first year that competition in the motorcycle industry is intensifying since the start of the year.

  3. I would wager that the vast majority of protesters around the globe have NOT seen the film. Any excuse to be angry about anything, WHICH l thought was against their written book. Sad really. sad.png

    It is my understanding that few persons, if any , other than those who were involved in the making of the film, have seen the FILM. It has been reported that just a trailer for the film was what was posted on youtube and from this all the protest and trouble eminated.

    Just Google "Innocence of Muslims" 76 minutes long.

  4. Go see the guy near just before the entrance to airport central coming up Hang Dong road, I believe this is a major Singha warehouse for Chiang Mai, it has 2 big Singha Lions outside the gate.

    This is their main distribution center for Chiang Mai. Its on the super highway, or highway 11.

  5. Tesco and 7-11 are no different from any Thai company and they might even be better than some.

    Isn't Tesco a British company & isn't 7-11 an American company ?

    Chinese and Japanese respectively

    Tesco is a UK based company and Tesco Lotus is their Thai based business - are you talking about share ownership of the Tesco Lotus property fund IPO?

    7-Eleven is not an American company it is Japanese. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Eleven

    7-Eleven Thailand is owned 100% by CP ltd. http://www.7eleven.co.th/index_0812.html

    Can do 15 days before to 7 days after.

    If you have this information ready it should not take you 5 minutes. Be there when they open this office can be slow. They are very nice but slow.

    Ok thanks everyone

  8. Take Nakon Air bus service this is the company my tuk-tuk driver rides. Very good safety record 2 drivers on the bus for long hauls

    You must mean Nakonchai Air. Do they even go C.M. --> Udon Thani? I don't think they do unless it is a new route for them. They are great to BKK -- taken them many times.

    Nakonchai Air or NCA as it is known as does not go to Udon Thani from Chiang Mai. The mix up is the confusion in names between Ubon Thani and Ubon Ratchathani. 'Ubon and Udon'. http://primia.net/thaibus/

    • Leaves from the Arcade Bus Station.
    • New Chiang Mai-Luang Prabang bus route

      A second class air-conditioned bus route opened Thursday from Chiang Mai to Luang Pabang as the 8th route linking Thailand with the Lao PDR. The route opening ceremony took place at the Chiang Mai Arcade bus terminal. The 44-seater air-conditioned bus departs once a day from Chiang Mai province and makes a stop in Chiang Rai before crossing the border to Louang Namtha, Oudomxay and Luang Prabang provinces of Laos. The journey takes 18 hours and the fare is 1,200 Baht. Once the fourth bridge across the Mekong River from Thailand, linking Chiang Khong with the Lao PDR’s Huay Xai, is finished next year, first class air-conditioned buses will replace the second services with a fare of 1,500 Baht.
      In related news, Deputy Permanent Secretary for Transport Silapachai Jarukasemrattana said the high-speed train project from Bangkok-Chiang Mai should be ready for service in 2017. He said currently a study is beng carried out to see which route is to start first. Apart from the Bangkok-Chiang Mai route, two other preliminary routes are in the project: Bangkok-Nakhon Ratchasima and Bangkok-Hua Hin. The high-speed rail journeys are expected to link the entire country within 3-4 hours, Mr Silpacha said.
