Speaking of thongs, really like the Oofos pair I bought ages ago that are still going strong. Most comfortable thongs I've ever owned, really recommend them to folks who want to wear thongs/flip flops.

They have a Thai online store too. Warning, they are expensive though:-

Wish I'd gone with the Susu model instead on the G-5 now. That extra range is worth it I reckon. A Hua Hin - Cha-am round trip needs a complete 100% charge.

Admittedly that's doing ~60km/h in 3rd gear and a 95-110 kg load depending on how much shopping I've done.

Still, I would have hoped for a longer range.

What year is this?  1980?

What about bananas? Thought I'd come straight to the source, Mr BananaStrong

And what about white wraps and wholemeal wraps, same thing?

Got to replace the original tyres on my scooter. They're too hard, I hate them.

I would prefer Michelin/Pirelli/Metzeler, but open to suggestions if you know a tyre fitting shop in Cha-am that carries other tyres that you're happy with and given you good service.

Anything except 'Champion' thanks (the Thai tyres on my scooter now)

Excellent, thanks for the help!

I see it's just near Villa, too easy. The Mighty G-5 will make it there and back to Cha-am no worries.

Cheers KhunLA!

Saw on my last visit to Market Village that the Music shop (Yamaha dealer?) has shut down.

Is there any other Musical Instrument shops in Hua Hin? Just need strings and bits and bobs really

Finally

Although the one I have, SUSU, is now ฿9,000 (82.9k vs 73.9k) ????

SUSU ... no gov't incentive, or missing from photo.

 

Others, price increase, more to do with the market, as most other e-scooters are more expensive, so up 7-8-9k, then about 9-11k less off 'original/last year's price' with the govt incentive, so still nice pricing.

 

AND ... they are registered / tagged.

 

1000w for less than 29k ... nice

And 1000w models have removable batteries for condo/apartment dwellers.

 

A few new prices, and couple new models.

Last year's prices, w/new ones noted:

The Susu does have a rebate from the government, list price now 63640 according to the Deco website.

I took the punt and bought a G-3. Will report back later with my impressions once I get a few km's on the clock.

The Susu would have been my preferred option with the bigger engine (3000w) and large single battery, but the battery isn't removable, unfortunately. As other posters have mentioned, a removable battery is the only way most condo folks would be able to go electric

Update on the Deco range, they've just released two dual battery models called the G-5 and the Double Ace respectively. Range claimed now to be ~120 km @ 35km/h.

The Double Ace appears to be an upgrade of the Super Ace with the new double battery option.

Below is the G-5:-

And this is the Double Ace. Very similar to the Super Ace:-

Here's a piccy of the dual batteries

Just been to have a look at the Deco homepage and it looks like the government is now offering a rebate to some Deco models:-

60640 baht for both the G-5 and the Double Ace, this might stimulate sales a bit!

Go to Playstore and change your country. Done.

Thanks for that, never had that problem with any other Thai app I've tried to download.

It said it can take up to 48 hours to update your country change, so I'll try again tomorrow and see how I go

Well, I seriously doubt that any check-in staff at SBIA/BKK will give the app on your phone the sniff test. Maybe in the future?

 

They'll be asking for paper, reams and reams of paper.

 

So maybe assemble printed paper/copies of:

 

all original vaccination documentation from the point(s) of administration (injection)

the vaccination records from Mor Prom

the certificate from Mor Prom

the Digital health Pass from Mor Prom

the International Certificate (QR Code) from Mor Prom

and the MoPH link from the International Certificate from Mor Prom

Sadly, I think you're right

Has anyone here used this digital certificate for international travel yet?

Yes, the burning question... just how 'international' this digital certificate is

how about getting a moderna booster. its half a dose. anyone else need a booster we can split a full moderna dose.  i will get jabbed first and you can use same needle and have remaining dose for you. ok  ?

Ever thought of a stand-up career? You're a natural

I'm in Cha-am and I'm interested for my wife. I've already had my two Pfizer jabs at the local hospital but my wife is hesitant to go the Sinopharm/Sinovac route.

So if anyone in the Hua Hin or Cha-am areas would like to sell me their booked moderna jabs please PM me

Also, ABC are doing a live blog, updates every minute or so, and so is The Guardian newspaper, links below:-

I read somewhere a while back that there's issues with all gasohol/ethanol blends in regard to the direct injection which these modern Mazda engines employ. As I understand it, because the valve intake is only air with no fuel, the engine can coke/foul up over time if you use an ethanol blend, meaning a top end strip down is required around the 100 kay mark to clean the valve trains of the engine.

The cleaning action of benzine 95 is supposed to mitigate this intake valve build up.

Would be interested to hear from more learned members on the forum if this is the case or not.

To all who will be receiving your first shot of AZ, don't forget to source your 2nd booster shot in 3 months.

Remains to be seen if anyone is going to be getting a shot as a result of this PR exercise

The unwitting (or witting?) psychological side-effect of this kind of tactics is  spreading an aura of desperation, a la "helicopters landing on the embass(ies) roof" among each nation's citizens queueing up scampering on ladders. All the more Bravo! to the French who behaved in a civilized, humanitarian and dignified manner and spared its citizens the humiliation of belonging to a so-called first world country and being treated no better than monkeys in a zoo.

 

I'm inclined to agree with you

Well that was prompt, at least. I registered last night around midnight local time and I was too late!
