Hi, about a month ago I purchased a new click 160. The fob came with the barcode and 2 keys or whatever the correct term is for those 2 things on the fob keychain are. Stupidly I just kept them both together. That's not even the most stupid part anyway I drove about 150k today and after about 100ks I noticed the key indicator flashing I didn't think anything of it. I just carried on riding till I needed gas. Cue 30 minutes later when I stopped for gas. I realise when I park my bike properly. I can't unlock the bike when I come back. Then it occured to me that I left the key in my pocket by accident and the wind from the driving had blown it away into god knows where and how many km away on the road. I bypass the start with the barcode number pressing the switch x number of times for x number. After watching some Phillipinho YouTube tutorial lol. Thanks to the lash at the dealership who made me take a photo of the barcode. She said it important na not forget it. Anyway it's not convenient but hey at least I didn't have to leave it in the middle of nowhere and could make it to the destination Anyway i wil get to the point now. Thanks if you made it this far. How long does it take to get a new replacement hob set from honda in people's past experiences and what kind of price is it? The price of my stupidy. And can it be done at any official honda dealership (where I got mine from) just would it matter if its not the one i bought it from originally as I'm not there again for 2 weeks Tbh I kinda expected it to happen one day just not so fast. First thought when I saw it was keyless. Never lost a key in my life before! Because they don't come out the ignition. I hate this keyless nonsense.

Do they let you return to Thailand on the same day if not using an agent? Or do they insist on the "at least stay one night" made-up rule they spout at piopet? I have used this border before a few years back but did it with an agency no issues. However this time there's 4 of us and quoting like 4k each for my wife and kids passports and 3k for mine. so like 15k total for a border bounce. I have a car so I could just drive there and pay $30 each for visas and spend like 500 baht on fuel and save myself like over 10k doing it myself.

We're a family of 4. I would find it very hard to live in Jomtien without having transport and a Makro, big c or lotus nearby. Luckily there's all 3 on the same road within a few km of eachother. If I was single and no kids, then I wouldn't need to cook at home and could live off just street food and restaurants. But yeah without having a car and a bike I would be bored very fast living in Jomtien.

Thanks my wife and her family can still teach him mandarin. We plan to live here for the long term so we are looking for normal internationals schools in bkk and not ones that cater to learning Chinese as he will have no issues learning more of that. We appreciate the suggestion though. As i said above having looked at another posters suggestion we think its best to get him learning English and some Thai straight away and during the Thai holidays, then try to enroll in a thai/eng int school for the new school year in August. And hopefully he won't be too much behind the kids his age and just a year below instead of like 2 or 3 years like the current situation.

Is there a school or private classes that run during the Thai int school holidays in BKK. I think this is probably the best route for him. As looking at the academic calendar its a few months left then the summer holiday. So ideally we're looking to find a place that specialise in English from march- July. Then send him to a proper international school in August for the new 1st semester/ school year. I have searched but they seemed to be based for adults wanting to learn English, not kids. Thanks in advance .

So I, my wife and our 2 kids will be moving to Thailand from mid-March and relocating there. Our son is 5 and our daughter is 2. They have been living in China with my wife and her family. I have been living in Singapore and working there and I visited them a couple of times in 2023, but previously due to lockdowns in China and my work I was only able to see them once in like 3 years. Before that, my son didn't speak many words. The reason for mentioning all this is that we want to send our son to an International school in Thailand when we arrive, but he speaks about 90% Mandarin and just only about 10% English. So his English level is of a 2 year old child even though he's 5. I know it's stupid considering my wife is Chinese but fluent in English so yes he should know a lot more than he does. He was sent to a local Chinese school for the last 2 and a half years, my wife was too lazy to teach him English in the years we haven't been able to live together due to our work commitments and her dealing with our daughter, he was pretty much raised by her parents. So yes it's a bit of a mess. Anyway I was just looking for what is the best route to go with our son. Would he even get accepted into an International school if he can barely speak English and knows 0 Thai? If they did I'm guessing he would be put in a class with like 2-year-olds when he's really 5 due to his English level. I would feel bad for him as he wouldn't be able to make friends. Just at least we can all be together all the time now so our daughter won't have this experience as she's still young. Some advice would be appreciated.

Is there a charge on how many you can do per month with Bangkok bank? For example it's really stupid. I get charged for using my card to withdraw cash outside bkk 20thb or 15thb . However if I do a cardless withdrawal I don't get charged any fee in any province. If it's unlimited cardless withdrawls then they may as well just scrap the card fee.

Wirebarley Western union (if you do online not cash) Remitly I used once fine. Then they wanted loads of documents more than just the usual kyc and way too many personal questions. Like everything last thing detail about my wife. Was really weird. Never used after that. PandaRemit They are all ones that I've used and work fine. Take your pick.

I did one on a Thursday and didn't get it till Tuesday afternoon. Funnily enough after I complained and they came back with we will investigate it. 20 minutes later the money was sent and I never got a reply as to what the hold up was. It said it will arrive Friday, then said money taking longer to pay out and it would be Monday. Then it came Tuesday. . Sometimes they just like to hold onto your money as long as possible like every other business.

For anyone who is interested. Spoke to 2 Yamaha dealers in bkk. One reckons the end of next week and the other says by end of the month they'll have them in stock for sale.

I have 2018 model. Think the only upgrades they've done really are increased the fuel tank from 4.5 to 5.5 litres and maybe a small design change. Other than that I can't recall any major difference having trying a friend's 21 model a few months ago after using my 18 model. I just thought it had been many years and got over 30k km on the belt so now I would replace it. Tbh the same could be said with literally every bike, just like new iPhones, iPads and everything else that comes out with a "new version" religiously every year. The differences year on year are very minimal. Which is why I only bother to replace stuff like that in 4 or 5 year cycles.

Thanks. I just literally looked a couple days ago and only saw the 2022 model. I will enquire at the dealership about the release date or have many months I need to " pre order" Not a fan of the ABS colours this year. Look kind of hidous to be honest.

What time of year do they normally release the new aerox? Was looking at getting one, but wasn't sure if the 23-24 model would be out soon and worth waiting.

Depends on what their definition of "hiso is" some people seem to confuse it with middle/upper class.

The OPs lover.
