  1. No,we have 2 in our household if you renew the por ror bor and the bike has to checked over you have to remove the side car and take the solo bike .it is just the solo bike that is registered. I have to remove my sidecar every year,then put it back on again afterwards.if the bike is not yet 5 years old.no check is needed you can renew the port for bor no need to take the sidecar off.
  2. Sounds to me if the engin is hot and stops it is a fule problem,get the carb cleaned .by using a air line,and,if they can,check the float hight ,wrong float hight will stave the engine of fule. As I said before,what color is the plug.
  3. What color is the spark plug and what is the gap? renew it, if it is black burning oil, or running rich, rings, piston worn, air filter? White plug running weak, blocked carb, leak/lose, in/on, inlet manifold, if it is a rubber one?. Could be fuel filter ,that Lazada post said the fuel filter is inside the fuel tank, Burning smell drive belt? you will know if it is drivebelt, you can hear a noise from that area., or oil leaking from the engine on to a hot surface, normally the exhaust, head gasket? Ask around for a good repair shop, they are out they, just got to find one.
  4. Today is Loi-Kla-Tong, over the past say, 15 years we have been out floating our Kla-Tongs ,it has been wet under foot for a few of those years, one year we almost needed wellington boots. Weather definitely not predictable.
  5. Water from Thai dams is not used for drinking water, most of Thai drinking water comes from underground aqua's. Or some might end up on farmers' fields, as water is pumped out for irrigation. As for water and electicity mixing, look up the world's largest floating solar farm.
  6. If the op has a play around, he could be able to get his local radio station online, the wife has found one local station online, where before she used to just Lisson to it on the radio.
  7. Just do what I do every day, get the BBC app on your phone, then use a Bluetooth speaker, job done, and I often use my desk top computer, if I am in the house.
  8. I keep the Por-Ror- Bor, and the insurance, under my bike seat, stuck to the underside of the seat, have done for some years now. I know it should be on display where it can be seen, so far, no problem.
  9. I would like to place a bet, on Trump and his mouth, or something, getting impeached, within the next 4 years.
  10. Don't you just love AN, and they facts or lack of ...again, this "cow". Is in fact a young bull.
  11. That is a bit OTT,I live in a rural area, we have a Moniter Lizard in our pond seem it a few times never bother me just runs away. Have seen lots on the roads over the years, never forget one going down a road on my motorbike a big 6 feet one walking down towards me, I just slowed down passed it on the other side of the road, not at all bothered just carried on down the road. As I said you are thinking OTT, have you ever seen one?
  12. The wife has a card for CJ More, seems to get a fair discount, has come home with something free now and then.
  13. Why because regular gas, or gas hole prices are higher, though tax, as they are basically helping subsidize n diesel prices, the years I have been here gas hole has nearly always been about 10 baht dearer than diesel. Because about 90%? of all Thai goods are moved by trucks on the road any increase in diesel price would and to inflation, that happened 15 years ago when gas hole hit 43-44 baht/liter diesel was not far behind, that put another point on inflation.
  14. We put a system back in May, our pump wis 1600 Watt each of our panels is 400 watts, each one was 3500 ,baht the guy who did all the buying and fitting said we needed 6 panels ,which we got first time on start-up we got a fault code come up, saying too much voltage /power ,so we disconnected two panels now no problem. As for pump,ours is a 3 inch pump ,which I put on a reducer making it now two inch ,works well ,the reason was, we are pumping 200 meters ,thinking that distance and water volume the pump would not pump all that water ,I think I am wrong, as said another AN member who knows more than me ,saying friction on the smaller boar pipe slows the water flow ,but buying new 3 inch pipe plus all the joins/fittings will cost 20 000 baht plus, as opposed to the 8 500 baht for the 2 inch pipe. But the pump with the 2-inch pipe can work with a 2inch sprinkler with a about 25-meter radius which is ok, but soon as a cloud appears the radius drops to 15 meters. Normalee starts up at about 9-9.30 am.it can keep going until 4-30 pm,as has been said about 7 hours day.
  15. Pledging loyalty to Thailand, does that still mean you have to stand up and sing the Thai national athame and that other Thai song.
