  1. You will have Government compulsory insurance anyway or should have if you have a road tax disc.

    The insurance you are relating to is extra cover from an insurance company from what you state.

    Thanks for that. That will be why the wife kept pointing at the tax disc.

  2. we just renewed our car insurance online, they sent details by email with a copy of the government insurance, the complete set came through the post by recorded delivery about a week later

    No problem with the wait for the policy to be processed just unsure how I prove the car is insured when no temporary cover note was issued.
    You should have got a receipt stating how much monies were paid and what for from the dealer. That's what they all should do. In my case the insurance come through some two + week's later. You won't get a cover note they the insurance peeps don't seem to issue same here.

    Just pop along and demand one, I don't know of anyone that hands out cash monies without some sort of paper work.

    My son does apparently.

  4. My son went to the local car dealer on Saturday to renew the car insurance. The old insurance expired yesterday so today I was searching in the car for some paperwork to prove it had been re-insured, (called a cover note in the UK), but could find nothing. Contacted my son and apparently you pay and get nothing in return until the insurance company processes the paperwork. Is this correct? If stopped by the BIB how do you prove the car is insured? Bought a bike a few months back and was given a piece of paper to say it was insured to cover me till the policy was fully processed. Not too keen to drive the car at the moment.

  5. Interesting topic but if i will cut off my husband penis do you think how many inches i suppose to cut it off?

    Take the ball off too? Is he going to die fast ? I dont wanna kill anybody...I am good girl...

    Actually my question is how i can cut his penis and make sure he not gonna die just can not use it for life...

    Regards,

    :-)

    Just cut off the first 8 inches and tie a piece of string around what is left so he doesn't die. Simple.

  6. This a bit of a problem as say in my case where the house the wife and I live in is owned by her.

    When I go to do an extension the Immo officer will fine her for not advising them and iwillhave to pay that fine i will have to pay as i am the only source of income.

    There may be plenty of guys like that even though there will also be plenty where the non thai national lease or rents the home abode where they live.

    Its a nightmare. Do I make a special run with the wife in tow to lodge the completed form or lodge it when next doing my extension.

    Either way its like open season on us for tea money. They have even said how much the tea money it will be.

    Filled in the forms myself,

    got the wife to sign and took them to immigration, seemed easy enough to me.

    What forms, 90 day reporting has to be enough.

    Can't remember the number of the two forms but you can get them online or from immigration. 90 day reporting is for the Alien, house owner reports Alien staying in the house and it is only required once while the Alien is staying there.

  8. I have a card with no ATM fees for the first 10 transactions per month. And then only 1% foreign transaction fee. So I can take out 20,000B and it only costs me 200B. Worth it to me so I don't have to carry the cash. I can hit an ATM as soon as I get off the plane and I'm topped up.

    Can you tell us what type of card/bank it is? thanks

    I have an American bank, so not sure it would do much good to somebody from the UK. It's USAA. But, there are quite a few options for no fee ATM cards. No ATM fee and no foreign transaction fee. Schwab is one of the better known.

    As I read it the friend is on holiday? Where is the problem? Will probably get overcharged elsewhere. Just enjoy.

    Here's a site that has a dyno from Honda/Thailand

    Thanks for the link.

    More hp than I thought (31), I saw a place where they measured 26-27hp for cb®300 and on that site they says 26hp on the cbr250.

    For more years than I wish to mention quoted top ends and horsepower have been mentioned. Have little interest myself, do you like the bike you paid for? Good bike personally.

    The point you have to be careful of with all cards (credit and debit) is that the exchange rate they use is often worse (sometimes much worse) than the bank and money changers rate. So while there may be no ATM fee or foreign transaction fee you can still be effectively paying a fee in the exchange rate and it can be high.

    If you want to have a significant amount of THB then cash is usually the cheapest option.

    If you come into BKK not DMK during the day then there is a superrich in the airport.

    If you want to get good information try

    Vasu is sometimes as good as Super Rich but not always

    Also Super Rich Thailand (green) is usually better than super rich 1965(orange)

    My foreign bank does money transfers free. If I use my debit card I get fees for foreign transaction and exchange transaction plus a poor exchange rate. Comes to about 4%.

  11. It's my first over 110cc bike. It's great fun. Think a chain adjustment need to be done already at 100km.

    Cruising fine between the cars in bkk smile.png

    Haven't been on any longer trips yet, waiting for the license plate.

    To drive into town was one of the reasons I wanted my CB300F, easy to handle in heavy traffic?

    I bought my 5 weeks ago to get white plate as fast as possible.

    Getting on towards 3 months now, still got a red plate.

    Have no idea about your previous bike history. It is a serious step up from the 110. Ride carefully. Have fun
