Not only(I use a Mastercard from my European bank to get money from ATM)they raised it to Baht 180, since a few weeks the amount to be withdrawn has been limited to Baht 10.000 instead like before Baht 20.000. So
I pay the double charge withdrawing the same amount of money and have to wait till the next day too
Like my father used to say: "Banks are criminals with a license"

Just out of curiosity; how long do you live/stay Thailand?

There is a shop in the small shopping mall right across the street from the Intercontenental Hotel in Bkk. The hotel is very near Central World right on the Suk, the BTS station is Chit Lom. As exit the station stay on the sky walk heading towards Central World, the little mall is on your left and has a big modern McDonalds fronting it... there are several shops that specialize in outdoor equipment plus a highend bike shop... The shop that sells the Gps/ cell phone holders is in the vicinity of the shops I mentioned... They sell kits plus pieces and parts to build your own mount...I would plan to get there before 7pm as they tend to close early....

I love Pattaya bashing threads, especially when performed by up country guys with bar girl wives they met in Pattaya. The hypocrisy is wonderful !!! Plus since I live here, I can easily judge the accuracy of the bashing comments...Another Pattaya bashing thread?
Isn't there a quota system in effect on that?
Not living in Pattaya and not bashing on it either, but when you state critics general being married to bar girls makes me wonder who unbiased
you are "easily judging the accuracy of the bashing comments".............
oops who=how

Not true.
even though a good forum they are incorrect.
One of the legal sites has a copy of the act in English. Search for Por Ror Bor.
If you do not have it you can be fined 10000baht and also liable for injuries..
I think the confusion it that techically since that date the insururane is recorded on youjr tax disk by the traqnsport department. Although police still ask for it you technically do not have to carry your insurance papers if you have a tax disk. It will still cost you though.
No Por Ror Bor no tax disk.
No Por Ror Bor no tax disk. TRUE! Just renewed mine; without Por Ror Bor the Tax disk is not been sent to you

Being a relatively newbie to TV I also was touched and moved by your story Steve. Wish you good luck on the aftermath of your
operation and sincerely wish you do can get some quality out of the life that is hopefully still given to you.

Prey Anti-Theft worked pretty well for me, once I lost my phone. Similar procedure as Avast, completely hidden on the Phone itself

Bought me a powerpack from Amazon; 5000 mA works great and extends user-time several hours.
Higher caps are also available; it's approx. the size of a cigarette-package(more weight though) and I think paid about € 35 for it.

so the only way i can get it legal again is to find out who the owner is and track them down?
is that correct?
any idea how i could go about that? could i talk to the traffic office here and ask them to contact the last registered owner??
That is a lot of work for a $300 bike eh?
depends how rich / lazy you are i suppose.......
it just a shame to let a nice bike go to waste..... i feel she wants to be back out there amongst the oil and grime and soi dogs, but at the mo she is just gathering dust down our side alley....... like a caged and shackled tiger
you give her a good-night kiss too?

where is the interesting part?

Thanks for the excellent information once again, Sheryl. For a 63-year old male who swims daily, has BMI of 22, and a resting heart rate of 43, would the stress test be necessary? The last stress test I had was about 6 years ago and was normal.Many TV members have had check ups at hospitals in Bkk.
Personally I've had them at Bumrungrad, Samitivej and Bkk Christian. All were fine in terms of efficiently doing the tests but only Samitivej did a reasonable job of reviewing the results, that tends to be the weak link in the process. There is a tendency both to overlook significant abnormal findings and to mistakenly give importance to minor variations of no importance, and i ngenera not to put much thought intop it nor analyze in context given the specific individual's history etc. Samitivej on the other hand did a good job on all of those counts. I like both Dr. Phuchai and Dr. Snchana there.
The other glitch is that you need to know yourself what tests you need. The packagers are designed for Asian populations and not that well thought through (I have yet to see a single one that is appropriate for post-meonopausal women, for example).
At 50+ you should have: CBC, ALT/AST. creatnine, fasting glucose, a a lipid panel (LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides), PSA, stress test (unless you've had one recently) and stool test for occult blood. Other tests according to any specific complaints.
You'll find that the packages that include stress test them often also include an ultrsound of the upper abdomen, which you do not need. It's included because there is a high incidence of primary cancer of the liver in Thailand, but it is rare in western populations. Sometimes it is cheaper to get a lower end package and add on one or two things than to get the "higher ned" package complete with things you don't need.
As it has been 6 years, personally, I would.

Just bought a motorcycle in Thailand and looking for a shop that sells special bike goggles or specs,
the glasses themselves MUST be custom-made as I am pretty much near-sighted.(Did see the bike
that I bought clearly though
)
Went to several optical shops or bike-accessory shops, first ones gave a general "non-available"; the bike shops do have goggles/sun-or protection glasses but unfortunately only with normal glass.
Found one shop at Paragon BKK, who sells Oakley but they have to send the the prescription-glasses
to U.S. to be made there.
Must be a more easy way or is'nt there????
Does anyone know a shop around BKK/Pattaya that provide motor-cycle goggles/protective eye-wear
with prescription glasses?
Suggestions welcome!!!

As many of us choose chicken to be a regular companion in our daily meals and Thai kitchen favors it a lot; have to give
a warning about consuming chicken-meat(no pun intended)too much.
First the Thai governmental controls on food are sloppy and "mai pen rai" just like any thing else in Thailand.
But over the last year I was confronted with 2 Thai friends, one developing gout and the other one developing kind of
breasts(while being not fat).
To cut a long story short, both went to (different)hospitals, doctors analyzed their food-consumption and they ate both large
portions of chicken. Doctors told them in Thailand chicken-meat is stuffed with grow-hormones and anti-biotics, beyond
any level acceptable in e.g. Europe or U.S.
In fact supermarket-chains who import large quantities of chicken-meat, have their own "food-control" inspectors here;
chicken-farms which are not under contract(the vast majority)use any method to raise their profit quickly and scrupulously

I find it hard to believe he got fired, they normally transfer them if they been a bad boy.
Only thing he did wrong was getting caught on video, everybody know a police man can't live well on his salary and has to make extra money to support his family.
It's a general believe Thai policeman are underpaid; yet I never see any evidence of this anywhere to substantiate this. Asked my Thai GF and(for what it's worth; just an individual opinion and not able to verify)she told me once a policeman graduates from "police-academy"; he starts with around Baht 10.000 . Granted not a royal salary but then again many common company/office-workers get less. Others?

I have been a happy user of Kasikorn for many years now. The web service is easy to use and I pay all my bills, transfer money and top up my mobile phone through it. I even have a virtual Visa card to purchase things off the net. Only problem is I can't seem to pay TOT through Kasikorn! but everything else is great.

Use Kasikorn Cyberbanking and am very satisfied with it. Also the call-centre can be recommended; once lost a password while in europe; called and within 2 hours everything fixed

Maybe it is not quite fair to judge the recent generation of Japanese, American or in that RESPECT(!) for all people to be judged on what their
fathers or even grandfathers did? Opposite perception, I am sure your father was a decent man, does that make you a decent son instantly and everlasting?
