I just got a new ADV 160 and was expecting a smoother ride, but I find the suspension a bit stiff. I can feel every little bump and change in the road. I haven’t ridden a bike in nearly 25 years, so I don’t have much experience with these newer scooters. Maybe I’m expecting too much? I'm considering upgrading to YSS rear suspension and a front suspension kit (around 15k plus installation). For those who’ve done it, is it worth the investment—not just for comfort, but also for safety improvement? Driver weight is around 93-97kg and not a very experienced rider. Any advice?

ok. i feel more comfortable now.. thanks for the answers..

Hi, retuning to Thailand after medical treatment in my home country. I need to bring Prednisolon DAK Sulfametoxazol Rapamune/Sirolimus Cicosporin i tried google medicine list and found some list and none of the above was on the list, but honestly, not sure if it was updated or correct places i looked. i am mostly concerned about Prednisolon DAK as its very close/near stereoid (at least chemacially) Medicine is prescription for post transplant and i think quite "rare" and properly expensive, so i would like to bring as much as possible. Also if i understand it correct, i can bring 30days if the medicine is on some list, but if not, its 90 days.. is that correct? I never travelled with medicine before, so some insight would be nice, Thanks Vento

ok it all makes sense.. im in Pattaya. but yea, 1900 and 2 months, would buy some time..

ok, is that because im getting to close? I mean, if I do this mon/tue in next week, there will still be 15-16days left, or that's not enough.. sorry for being slow understanding.. trying hard ???? and thanks again.

I tried, at least for hel[ing me obtaining the non o and all the paper work, but was told they don't have this service.. only the "full" package which is kind of the opposite of the whole idea of putting 800k in the bank and trying to do things the right way. but if you know any agents that can do this as a separate service, not the full package, but just the non o, then I could try that company

ok thank you.. im already on the the second/last 30d extension which are to expire 3th or 4th in next month. so that won't be possible for me. but if I go emigration next week, I could possibly get a CE if they won't give me an non-o, it will still be beefore 25th and close to the end of my current/last 30d extension.. traveling abroad is the very last possible option, as my health are not very good since a long hospital stay in bkk.. I could do it if absolutely have to, but really would like to void that at any cost almost.

ok, also I just found receipts from withdrawal from foreign bank and large sum money exchange from a big exchange company abroad and other document showing I transferred large sums out of that account. so if they are worried that the money is given to me from someone here in Thailand, I can actually show pretty sizable transfers in the time up to my arrival.. maybe all this can help as well. it all depends what they are trying to archieve, but I guess that the goal is that people are not borrowing money from inside Thailand to put in the bank. I will just go ahead and hope for the best, also, covid extensions should still be avail right? so worst case, I can extend covid 60d.. or alternatively use an agent, which might be as cheap as going to Vientiane or Saigon in worst worst case

the 200k ish was transferred from abroad, the 100k was just part of my regular transfer abroad. the 500k Ish I brought into Thailand in cash. was from a withdrawal abroad, I might be able to find the receipt but they made a mistake on one of these due to carbon paper and its unreadable. the account abroad I don't have access to since I closed it and withdraw the money and sent remaining funds back to my home country edit: bankbook is old, as I have been here many years on various visas and exemption and have many transfers from abroad. just this 500k is in cash. this is my first retirement extension, wasn't aware of these things (my fault, should have done better research)

about 2 weeks, deposited them after my last entry and I have a deposit slip in my name if that makes any difference

Im trying to get an retirement extension. I am on a visa exempt now, and money is in the bank. on the emigration website I now read this 5.1 Present passbook and deposit certificate from banks in Thailand (in Thai language (Attention: Immigration Commissioner)) 5.3 Evidence of foreign currency fund transferred toThailand I don't have this.. about 500k was deposited in cash, the rest was sent from abroad. the money I brought into Thailand in Cash What is deposit certificate? I mean, there is an entry in the bankbook? that's not enough? And how do I proof my cash deposit come from abroad? that's going to be almost impossible I am in Chonburi/pattaya if that makes any difference Any advice would be appreciated :)

This seems to be a importent point.. maybe i will just go get a 30d extension and then apply for the non O and wait until money been in bank for 2 months and then apply for the 1y extension that is if i understood everything above correctly ????

Hi. trying to work towards getting my first retirement visa. - money in thank since a few days ago. so still not 60 days - current entry is visa excemp, entry jul 5, expire aug 4 not sure what i need to do next? do i need to exit/entry to get a tourist visa instead and from that i can apply for a retirement extension? Also, since money not been in bank 2 month yet, in case i need to leave, i could get one 30 days extension now and then cambodia border run? Really confused about what to do next. asked an agent, who just told me to buy the "full" package they normally offer, at full price, which kind of is not the purpose (using my 800k and do it "the right way") but im so confused about what i need to do thanks in advance Vento

both accounts does not exists, as im closing one and want to put the funds into an account that yet has not been opened and as such, i cant do regular transfer.

Was planning to open a USD account in thailand.. closing an account abroad and can get a manager check.. its a bit more than the normal limit for cash when traveling around.. So is that even legal to carry, or should it be considered cash and declared. also, will banks accept those for currency accounts? anyone have any experience with this, or other ways of bringing some funds to thailand when i return. im abroad now and cant transfer the funds to thailand due to the account is not yet opened in thailand... not sure what to do.. any advices?
