piston broke

Very helpful, thank you ....

thank you for that link - very useful .... But doesn't answer the 2nd part of my post: "Also, when the pension payment is paid into your Thai Bank Account - Do you receive it in GBP, and the bank then converts it into Thai Baht - or do they send it in Thai Baht ? - if the latter is the case - what exchange rate do they use compared to the Thai Bank's TT rate ? " Any ideas ?

Couple of questions to all of you guys that have started claiming your UK pension in the last 12 months Did you just ring the International Pension Centre, and give them a few security questions and that was enough for them to start paying you - or did you need to complete a form and send it off to them with your birth certificate as proof of ID ? Also, when the pension payment is paid into your Thai Bank Account - Do you receive it in GBP, and the bank then converts it into Thai Baht - or do they send it in Thai Baht ? - if the latter is the case - what exchange rate do they use compared to the Thai Bank's TT rate ? TIA ..

i used these guys last year - couldn't fault them - took 1 month from signing the form to having the new passport in my hand ...

Love the "snide" Ohlins stickers - LOL Thats all the money for a 2018/2019 bike - You can get a Gen 2 model for that ... Good luck with the sale ....

didn't Alf Garnet say "They all look the same" ...

Such a sweet smell !

with the copy of the book, you can get the annual tax sticker and the "government" insurance - but as far as getting a book in your name - you're fook'd ....

with keyless ignition, i always think "the manufacturers have solved a problem that never existed in the first place" ....

Just so you know - that company has the largest motorcycle/scooter spares/parts stock in Pattaya (by a country mile) ...

Not always the case - i got the 800k in the bank, but use an agent to sort my retirement extension, cos i don't want the stress of going down to the immigration office - Been there, done that ....

yee of little faith .....

worra about the smog ?

maneerat - Beach Road, Soi 13/2 ..

i use an agent, charges 100 baht - just drop the pasport off with the "growlers" and pick up next day - none of that "loads of photocopy" nonsense either ....

They laughed when i used an agent - Guess what they ain't laughing now .....

A message to all you seasoned Grab App users .... a couple of weeks ago, i took the plunge and downloaded the app - over the last 2 weeks, i have made 4 orders (typical time 4pm to 7pm) and after various comments like "they could be busy, lets give them some time, looking for driver - Please be patient, driver making multiple deliveries" etc - And while this was going on, the delivery time kept being put back.... The food arrived around 2 hours after i placed the order .... Is this typical, or have i just been unlucky ... TIA

why have the stress - just pay them .... i use an agent to do my ret extension - they charge 100b to do the 90 day report - i cough up no problem ..

bought a new Click 160 in the end

chinese made great until there's a problem or you want to sell it

My Lady wants a s/h Malaguti madison 150 ... Has anyone got / had one and can give me an insight to ownership ? We live in Central Pattaya - Where would we get it serviced ? TIA

My Wife wants to learn to drive and i'm looking to buy her a cheap run around .... The 2 cars i have in mind are: 1) Ford Fiesta auto 1.6L, 2014 year and 2) MG3 1.5L auto 2015 year Price 125-150,000 Baht.. Any thoughts ? TIA

the UK is fook'd - stay here....
