NumbNut

Do you know where you can buy citric acid?

I've heard using vinegar as a descaler can cause issues with aluminium parts

Thanks for the reply, and that looks like it would do the job too. My machine is a Minimex, and they don't mention in the manual an actual product to descale with, just a generic 'descaler'. I was going to try white vinegar, but apparently while it does do the descale job it can cause problems with aluminium parts, so not a solution really. I was hoping to buy something from a local shop though, as I would prefer not to go the Lazada/Shopee route if possible

Would like to descale my coffee machine but I haven't seen any products in my travels so far in Hua Hin. Could someone pease point me in the right direction?

Just PM'd you

Yeah I'd put my foot into that no worries

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:- https://www.oofos.asia/

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.

Holding off for now

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

So far so good with the G-5. This is my first scooter, and it is a much nicer experience then I thought it would be. Got a few hundreds kays up now and all in all I'm pretty happy. Power delivery strangely enough reminds me of my old Ducati 900S2, there is very little bottom end, then a large, linear mid-range with no top end to speak of, just like an old bevel drive Ducati. Everything happens in the mid-range. Ist gear ~55 km/h, 2nd gear ~65 km/h, 3rd gear ~80 km/h according to the speedo. The 'S' button will temporarily boost speed up in all gears by about 15 km/h or so for about 30 seconds before coming back down to the speed of the gear you are currently in. I rode to Hua Hin yesterday and back, a round journey of about 75 kays or so and there was about 35% left on one battery and <10% on the other. The batteries drew down equally until about 60% left on both, then the load increased on one battery and reduced on the other. This could cause problems in the future if one battery is constantly being drained while the other battery has less load placed on it. Maybe the engine/battery management system needs to be looked at. Haven't got a good feeling for the handling yet, but this is a scooter and I'm not going to be doing my Mick Doohan impersonation on Thai roads. Two hydraulic disc brakes front and rear pull it up well, impressed with the braking. Battery management issues aside, I'm very happy so far with the G-5
