I remember when Kay Cottee sailed solo around the world, wouldn't use the generator as she couldn't see oil when she took the cap off the rocker cover.

Now that would be overfilled !!!

Lose it and phone the bank they stop the card almost instantly.

Anybody can forge a signature on a travellers cheque and if they got your passport as well nobody looks like their passport photograph anyway.

First quote same with travellers cheque.

Second quote, I don't know about your passport photo, but no one could look as horrible or downhearted as in my passport photo and be mistaken for me.

When the authorities took it I said no way but they said yes way.

I think you will find many in the same boat.

As far as safety with plastic, obviously you haven't seen the latest ATM skimmers....scarey stuff.

Story on SBS one tv in Aus tonight...don't know if you get that channel there or not..

"Dateline's Nick Lazaredes meets the Australians who have moved to Thailand for their retirement."

The way the electric trains usually work is the line is not energised initially.

The main engine and carriages must cover a predetermined "dead" section first and then that section energises.

Uncle of mine drove them in Australia.

Inexperienced drivers many times had to call another engine from the main base to come and give them a shove

as they failed to keep enough momentum to carry them over this "dead section" of track.

My understanding is that one must have a return airfare when entering on a tourist visa.

Just wondering how people come on a tourist visa and then decide to stay longer, what happens with regard to their return airfare??

Do they loose it and if so it seems I for one would be better prepared before coming as the cost of airfare must be of some concern when compared to a visa application in their own country.

Do not know if you have access to any wiring schematics so I found this site which has a few different versions of the Honda click.

In Russian so you have to dig a little but it should get you on the right track hopefully.

This was a typical diagram....... (maybe not your model ) .... http://mototh.com/files/honda/Click-110/Honda-Click-110-Service-Manual-Eng.pdf

And this was the web site .......... http://mototh.com/ru/bikes/honda

Over many years I have found the wiring charts to be a generalization and one has to follow ones nose so-to-speak but the above may be helpful.

Once you determine all the above, you will need some idea as to the loading you will have.

From this you can calculate the minium size of the cable required to minimise voltage drop at maximum load.

This is done using the length of the run, the voltage nominal, the voltage drop of the particular cable size in milliamps per metre.

Suffice to say it is best to keep your loading to a minimum as a good installation will require a cable much larger than you think.

Standard is 5% maximum on 240V (12 Volts) from the point of supply to the last loading device in your installation.

Also, aluminium cable needs to be much larger than copper for a given loading.

It also creates a need to protect the cable against galvanic corrosion when combined with copper at any point.

Usual method in Aus at least is to use bimetal lugs or links. This however seems to go unattended in Thailand with the "twist and tape" methods there.

What type of emails do you get so many of? Is it notification emails or newsletters?

What's the subject line of a typical email?

They are listed as "Thailand Forum" ........I deleted them yesterday so do not know the subject....sorry

Guess I'll just have to put a block on it.

Usually get maybe 2 or 3 a day normally which is ok...like to see what's new etc but this amount is crazy.

Getting sometimes 120 to 130 emails a day from Thaivisa.

Can someone in Admin please correct this problem.............. Thanks

One of the reasons I like to stay in Thailand is that most things are still under the "common sense" law.

Walk down the street, watch where you walk instead of endlessly nattering away on a mobile phone, and avoid the hole in the pavement.

Start imposing crazy laws on people and there will be no end to it, as we currently see in Aus.

It is now of such proportions here, especially in the workplace, that the cost to the end user is astrononical.

Not to mention that less and less work is being done on the job at hand and more on paperwork to cover ones ass.

It is now common that no one person knows exactly what is required, and the only way is to blunder on each day and wait for some "official" to flout his newfound knowledge.

This usually means an apology for being so "uneducated" with respect to the job. (after 40 years mind you)

I say if someone wants to eat a fat burger, let them.

Went out with a girl who'se parents had rubber trees and she had a field of her own,, for the work, and trouble i didn't see any wealth in the venture, if it was me i would plant corn,, the world always needs more corn, can't get enough of the stuff, then make it into ethanol, the world always needs more ethanol, can't get enough of the stuff, that's what i say, and i'm sticking to it.

There was a study once into the growing of corn for ethanol and it turned out if they put the whole of the US under corn, it could only supply the US needs for ethanol for 1 day.

Good idea but like many things, just not practical.
