Hey guys, I have been riding behind bikes for so many months, and I always had to hold on to the bike with my hand to not fall off. Then, there are Thai people with both hands not holding on and calming using their phones. I am amazed at their talent!! How about you guys?

I am British, trying to become a more chilled-out Thai.
In my town there is a burger place in a shopping mall.
Last night, I joined what I thought was a queue to order food and waited patiently behind a gentleman for about 5 minutes, while the staff ignored me. A Thai man walked up, spoke in Thai, and was served immediately.
I kept waiting. Then a teenager came in, said something in Thai, and jumped the queue to get served. I was so Frustrated that I moved to an unoccupied counter and waited to place my order. I was ignored again.
Thai people seemed to get served without issue, and I felt discriminated against. After some time, I returned to my wife empty-handed. She tried for another 20 minutes with no luck.
My patience ran out. I marched in, bypassed the queue, and demanded my order: 2 Double Whopper Meals and 2 Fantas. I vented my frustration about the system and being ignored.
The server explained that I needed to take a ticket and give it to the attendant. Shocked, I asked how I was supposed to know. He pointed to a sign in English saying "Take ticket before ordering."
I took a ticket, was served in less than 2 minutes, apologised, and ate our food. It was a lesson for me to pay attention to signs. I hate getting old!

Thanks for your replys, B quik dont do exhausts, needed back box the rest was ok, pipe came away from the backbox so pulled it off before it fell off or took out a new tire, In the end found a small shop that repairs exhausts, bigger places dident want to know, fitted new box cut off mounting brakets and tail pipe and fitted to new box even painted the welding, interesting that he made his own acetalene gass for his welding torch, cost 2k bt, nissan price for back box 6k bt, sorted,
Thanks again Mike

Thanks for the reply's I am already on retirement extension and am now young free and single, not so young maybe. I am spending a month or 2 in different places and immigration refuses to accept my 90 day reports so I have to leave the country when 1 is due, In summery
I was looking for an alternative to renewing my extension as seems my address is only
temporary no 90 day report accepted so obviously no extension. Guess I will be going back to tourist visas and spending less time in Thailand or................
Best regards Mike
PS I don't have enough income to qualify, but 800k bt is not
a problem even better if they can stay as UK £s

Thanks for that lopburi3 i thought it was cash has to be available on demand, Just looking for the best returns preferably monthly and better than
the UK rates.
best regards mike

Thanks for replys.
Meatboy the interest rates in the UK are crap at the mo about 2.20 instant access so 2.80 seems ok after getting 15% back.
williewolf thanks for that im 58 and have kasikorn current acc already so that may be the way to go as it can work for
RET visa as well.
The lottery acc I know the GF would like that one might be worth a punt at 100k to 500k but my luck has never been any
good that way,
BlackPudingBertha I will have a look at steped bond whatever that is, and standerd charterd sounds ok not herd of them, must
take a look, reaserch and more reasearch.
Thanks again, best regards pluto, mike

I have been caught out like this, writing on the notes or small tear and the banks refused to change them. Do yourself a favour and swap them for "clean" ones before you come here.
Good advice this has happend to me to, the private money changer keosks usually take them if you mix them in with good notes

Hi all just a little update I bought the boss trike gave it a little service and am waiting to fit the rear brake to the
handlebar behind the clutch leaver for thumb operation.
I couldn't wait and have done about 30-40 ks on it using the front brake.
Thanks to everyone for their input, starting to save up to get that Harley trike together now. Anyone know
of a Harley trike for sale.
Best regards to all Pluto
-
Hi BirdsandBooze thanks for the tip on the boss trike I am very interested, I have been trying to phone him for 2 days solid
no answer, if Ralph is reading this I have cash ready to be spent, I will keep on trying to phone him for a bit.
Thanks BSJ for the tip on the VW but not for me.
Best regards to all Pluto
-
Hi BirdsandBooze thanks for your reply, the hand leaver ratio would not be the same as a rear brake foot leaver ratio and
introducing a servo would only overcomplicate matters.
The one I looked at only needed bending to the other side of the engine to the rear of the footrest for a heel operation,
while the toe takes care of the gearchange, Similer worked on Z900 and FJ1200 in the UK.
Best regards Pluto

Hi again ignis thanks for the photo, Do you know anything about the trike eg
Where is it located,
silver wing 500 600 750cc ? V twin ? 4 cyl ? feet forward ?
Any foot controls ?
Milage service history
Factory conversion or ?
Has it got an rear axel and off what
It looks a little like a small voyager kit [3rear wheels] keeping the original mc drive wheel ?
Its a little more than i want to spend at the moment saving for a Harley, might be worth a look
if it is conveniant,
Best regards Pluto

HI Semper thanks for the link not quite for me [not rule out completly] there was one driving/riding around Chiang Rai
about last Feb I think was privatly owned, not shure if you have to register it as a tuk tuk.
Hi ignis thanks for your reply Googled trike in hua hin came up with u tube of very good scooter conversion for
wheelchair user, 2 rear ends to 1 front end with wheelchair in the middle looks good getting closer.
Best regards Pluto
