Interesting how you and others go against the 160. I am a novice, just renting sometimes and maybe buying now. I just thought a few extra cc could be helpful if I loaded the bike with top box and maybe saddle packs for a week trip or so

Look what the motorike taxis drive most. Isn't that click 150 (except wave 125 for those on low budget/low fuel consumption). 150 ought to be better than 125 with load or a passenger and wear less on the engine since lower throttle is needed?

As I remember a Youtuber maxed out both clicks. 125 was 101 km/hr and 160 was 118, on GPS, and way more on the meter (128 something for the 160)

I haven't tried them. PCX and ADV look similar to me. But I see a lot of pcx and few adv. So adv is better built? Both store 30 l

The new click 160 abs seems to be around 70.000 and the corresponding pcx 107.000 What are you paying 50% extra for when buying a pcx? Some new pcx w abs sell at 93.000, I haven't seen the difference. Still more expensive than the click.

There is also a step through model (and the useful hook) "Lead" with larger storage than Click (gas tank in front). Only comes in 125 I believe. Never tried it.

???? But after the U-turn in the "slow lane" both me and the lorries had to pass the gentlemen in brown. We were not stopped. I got a feeling they were stopping bikes and slower traffic on #7. But that is just a guess. I might have missed signs.

I have mostly rented bikes up north but will try to get into some basic biking again Today I came on #3 S of Pattaya (beyond Jomtien, Huay Yai) and turned up on the #7 #3 and #7 seemed similar quality roads but there was a police check where vehicles in opposite direction left #7. Two lorries got off the #7 into a lane left of the road and I followed them to a U turn under #7 I got an impression motorbikes were not allowed on #7. Is that right? How can I tell? Google Maps indicates that as road for motorbike.

The argument for shop girls is mainly that they are used to a moderate salary and doing duty "9 to 5". They have more realistic expectations of life than someone who tries to catch the highest spending punter, chat with friends all day and chat with men all evening. But there are good bar girls too, especially when they come of age. A young looker is the queen of the bar, guaranteed spoilt. But younger non bar girls come with various mindsets.

The geisha tradition. They can earn and save quite well. In Japan they also have male escorts. But massaging the the feet of the yakuza wives seems like playing with fire ????

In Japan many hostess clubs are like that. Many Western girls work there. And then there are other types of clubs, I would assume ...

In Philippines some divided girls into bar girls, street girls, chat girls, shop girls etc Chat girls are the trickiest of all, according to most guys. Juggling several guys at once. And the PI girls don't need translator.

I don't think the 7/11 girls, the girls peddling clothes in bazaars etc have a college education. I think you would find someone more reliable, having more realistic financial demands and expectations in a 7/11 in a smaller place than on a stage in Walking Street ... maybe ????

Why not "rescue" a shop girl instead?

Agree. Strange plan. Most countries try to promote the use of their currency. If the US didn't back its currency up with guns and bombs, they would be a goner, petrodollar ... ????

Also strange picking out the Kuwaitis. I don't know so much about Kuwaitis, but the chaos-muslims we see in Europe originate in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kurds, Africa. Iranians higher educated and contribute to chaos politically. But we get refugees, Pattaya gets tourists. Visited Uzbekistan not so long ago. Lovely and organized muslims.

Thailand government promotes the use of yuan and ringgit to "stabilize" baht! <<<< Link the Bangkok Post removed >>>> (sorry, copy didn't work in BP) A good measure or just another global plot to attack Thai and make yuan the euro-disaster of Asia?

Someone has obviously not taken the grueling training for Thai driver's license. How many days do you have to report a paint job on your car and what will be the fine unless you do?

Just the beginning of introducing religious conflicts into a country to break the people and prepare for foreign take over. Jews/Christians vs Muslims. The Abrahamics have been doing that for hundreds of years. This moment, Europe is being taken over using that and other methods. Look at idiot Sweden and Denmark. The most tolerant countries ever. Now burning Qurans! Done by government/EU agents for sure. Same as Kristallnacht, but against Muslims. https://thethaiger.com/news/pattaya/pattaya-locals-cry-out-for-relief-from-disruptive-foreign-youth-on-loud-motorcycles https://thethaiger.com/news/pattaya/pattaya-police-crack-down-on-traffic-disruptive-middle-eastern-street-racers

I had much fun there. Food, cleanliness, medicare, safety/petty crime so so. You make friends with the girls. Politically a broken country. (Now run by the dictator's son and a Jewish lady, daughter of strong man DU30) Chinese own most. Americans idolized. Muslim self governing area in the south where no outsider dares enter. People open to foreigner. All know English. Jeepneys are back killers compared to songtaews. It takes more time to get into the rhythm than Pattaya which is international, if you go outside Panglao, Angeles, Boracay, Subic etc but well worth it. National heros are a boxer and a pool player ... Charming people.

Rapinoe was mentioned in the thread. She is a model for Victoria's Secret lingerie. She now missed a crucial penalty for US but just laughed at it. US got eliminated. Women's ideals have changed so much we have to work to keep up with them. ???? She was also fittingly signed by Nike that, according to senator Ted Cruz, "only want to sell shoes to those who hate the American flag" (Kaepernik, Semenya ...) ????
