I quote from a letter to the othe newspaper.

"How many people with diabetes or high blood pressure regularly eat Thai jasmine rice? Have their doctors ever told them that jasmine rice has been proven to raise blood sugar? Have their doctors ever told them that basmati rice has also been proven to lower blood sugar? "

The letter writer states this as as a fact without any supporting proof. I have never seen any proof  of this and I am very sceptical.  Can any expert point me at the appropriate " medical artical?

Thanks to all who replied. I found them in Sridonchai road as Winnie the Khwai suggested.

I have also been back to the dealeship and the salesman was adamant that I had to have the light repaired by their staff as "the rear light all has to be replaced". On reflection I think he was thinking of the latest model, which has LEDs.

"Agent will change a bulb but not sell a new part. "

 

Assuming "agent" is the dealer, the dealerships do not charge anything over the cost of the bulb itself to replace it for you. I've had a few replaced at different dealerships and they only charge 20-50 Baht to replace it for you - total cost.

Thanks, but I also want to carry a few spares.

I have been looking for 12v 21w single filament car light bulbs for some time. So far I cannot find any in Chiangmai . Agent will change a bulb but not sell a new part. Request help.

The generals must get their new cars

Contact the Royal Thai Embassy. They often send staff around the UK on Consular visits. My wife renewed hers in Edinburgh a year or so ago.

I tried to and I had a Thai speaker with me.

And when you went into the previously mentioned showroom on Huay Kaew Road, what did they say when you asked for the Stallion dealer, where did they tell you it moved to?

There were no staff there and the neighbouring cafe staff just looked at me as if I had horns

I try again. Will some expert tell me where the Stallion Motorcyle dealer or showroom is. The previously mentioned showroom on HuayKaew Road is a secondhand bike shop

Thanks

Convert to unleaded is valve seats alone. Nothing to do with valves nor guides.

I disagree, lead in petrol built up a self lubricating coating which which supplemented the lubrication from oil.

I recall valve failures in light aircraft engines when 100LL fuel was introduced in the 1980s. The engine manufacturers and overhaulers had to run the engines on leaded fuel for 10 hours to build this coating up. This was a temporary fix until new valve and guide metals were developed

I have done it a few times. Heating the head and drifting out the old guides, (quickly before the heat expands the guides) works well. If they do not move , try to drill them carefully but I do not recommend this method,  it is difficut to do without damaging the head. To remove valve seats, carefully drill two holes at opposite diameters and break them apart.

In both cases a hot head and frozen guides and seats will go together without force.

Two years ago I bought a small item from Amazon and was astonished a month later to have a sum deducted from my debit card in favour of Amazon. I protested but Amazon claimed that I had signed up to a month's trial with  Amazon Prime when I bought the item. I searched their order site and unovered an obscure box which had to be UNTICKED otherwise I would be AUTOMATICALLY enroled in Amazon Prime. So, All of you, please search the Amazon site carefully otherwise you will be conned.

Today the price has been modified to Thb116000

No, definitely on the Ct400 t,the 250 was Thb76000

I think that price is for the 250 cc model. The 400cc models are going for around 115,000 baht. The 400cc model just got BIG BIKE of the year award......not sure what that means but I am very happy with my Stallion 400.

 

I saw a Stallion CT400 in Big C in Chiangmai yesterday for THB 89000. I am impressed but sales rep was dumb. He could not tell me if or where there was a showroom/dealer in Chiangmai Nor could he gve me any infomation beyond " 400cc, 5 speed". Of course there are no brochures

I would like a lot more information before I proceed. Where is the nearest dealer to Chiangmai?

"Republican U.S. congressional leaders have backed Trump's move to exit the accord. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, for example, said it was "another significant blow to the Obama administration's assault on domestic energy production and jobs"."

There appears to be a visceral hatred of the last president and a vindictive desire to remove all he has done. will we even see him erased from history as a non-person?

The above site suggests that infection of humans is rare.

I have never seen a U-turn anywhere else in the world. Where did they originate? Are they purely a Thai invention?

I agree that they frighten me and need to treater with extreme caution.

The wee fella had no chance from the beginning. I condemn the family's advisors who suggested that he MIGHT recover and probably recieved large fees for their involvment.

I last did it in February. There is a list of possible destinations on the overhead signs directing passengers to transfer points. I think that Phuket is on the list. I believe that it depends on the airport having an international facility. Immigration is a single desk, but I have never seen a queue at it. You will have to clear Customs at the destination.

I cannot find an exact answe ron this forum.

My HP Pavillion  laptop stopped charging. I bought it second-hand about a year ago and it came with a new replacement charger. The repair shop insists that the charger had damaged the computer's charging circuit and that I should buy a new HP one. I have seen many chargers and they all show a very similar output of 19v and approx 2.5 amps. The only difference I can see is in the jack plug. I am suspicious of the repair shop's advice and would like opinion(s) from knowlageable members .

Thanks in advance

Two comments. There has been no publicity, how do we know what is the route and where are the stops? Also, how long before the the seelaw monopoly blockades or gets it stopped?

One advantage of gravel is that you will hear snybody coming in.
