Thanks for the first hand information tahaan.
I still find it hard to believe they make UK riders pass a very strict test
but someone with a rather easy to pass Thai license can drive any size bike no problem !
Kwasaki was pointing out that the first ( 2 year ) Thai licence says "temporary" I think that can be compared to a provisional UK licence.

In Europe, not only do you have to be registered in a particular province but also you have to be registered at a specific polling station!.... So we can put away the tinfoil!
DO they also require thumb prints on ballot papers in Europe ?

And once you have your license you can return to England and ride any size bike you like for a year. With insurance of course.
Are you 100% sure about that ?? seems to make a mockery of the rather hard to pass UK bike tests.

Thanks for that waldroj I had seen that thread but mistakenly assumed it related to overseas Thais.
I think the 1% shows that not many people knew/know about this option.

Maybe they "double NATed" you.... I read on here that you can phone them and ask to be put back onto a "normal"
IP address.
Could be something messed up with your cable modem..if you have your login details try factory reset the modem
then re enter the login details.
3rd option call them and get them to send the "engineer" to fix it.

General Prem has a permanent residence in Nakhon Ratchasima but he exercised his right to vote outside his constituency by voting in Dusit district.
Hmmmmm everyone else has to go back to their "home" provinces to vote ??

There is a "like" function for posts we like. Can there also be a dislike or thumbs down function for posts that are disagreeable ?

Well, for some reason every person must put their fingerprint on the top of the voting form
the reason is
http://www.khaosodenglish.com/politics/2016/08/02/z-sundays-referendum-vote/
QuoteFor possibly the first time, voters will be required to affix a fingerprint to the top of their ballot, above their vote.
This is not to intimidate voters by linking their identity to their vote, Wanchai said, but was intended as a marketing maneuver. The commission hopes people will take selfies with their inked fingers, he said, and share them on social media, thus encouraging others to come out and vote.

Can anyone help with what I can buy to do the trick???
Yes you can buy your own internet connection so that you aren't sharing a "free" WIFI signal with all the others.
No amount of boosting WIFI signal will help the TV box because the problem is you are sharing a limited "pipe" with everyone else if you get your own "pipe" ( internet conection ) then you'll have much more success.

The final result will be announced 3 days after the vote.

Found the answer as to the fingerprint

In another report I read its illegal to take photos in the polling station or of the ballot paper..hope they tell all those sefie takers to only do it well away from the ballot box !!!

So you're in Bangkok now and changing names..did they require a certificate of residence ?
or did you use the work permit or yellow book method.
If they let you change the name there is no requirement for you to change number plates you can keep BKK plates
pay tax and insurance in any province.

Don't they add some stuff to the fuel to try and prevent the corrosion ??
if 20 % ethanol destroys aluminium I think there will be lots of problems and angry drivers !
with melted carbos, pistons and engine blocks

You might consider getting married before the child is born so that your name can go on the birth certificate..which will give you and your child better options later on.

Arent the "new" dreams using the wave 125 engine ?
I doubt much is compatible with an "old" dream
don't know if its a wave engine but the one in my photo is a 110 cc.
Ive seen quite a few "original" dreams still riding around how do they keep them going without spares I wonder ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they phased out pure 91 a few years ago there was loads of hoo ha about the old 2 stroke motorbikes having to goto the scrapheap
as the ethanol would ruin the engines... you still see them zooming around or more likely stuck to a vending cart
My Honda NSR 150 has no problems running gasohol 91..it hasnt melted into a gloopy mess on the driveway..YET !
20% ethanol is supposed to be more corrosive so more prone to causing damage but these are old run around vehicles
( not classic E type Jaguars )
if they stop selling gasohol 91/95 I'll try using E20 I'm cautiously optimistic that nothing catastrophic will happen...maybe the engine life is shorten by a few years ??

guesthouses and hotels between the three hundred to five hundred baht range.
don't think you'll find those sort of places on hotel booking sites !
these are the ones you stumble upon out in the middle of nowhere on a road trip.
Just take a camping mat and sleep on the side of the road
even better the nearest temple..beware of the dogs though.

My 19 year old Honda Dream runs OK for a while on gasohol, but eventually starts running roughly. It makes a mess of the carburettor, which has non gasohol compatible parts.
The Honda Dream is still being made...you should be able to find some parts ( carburettor rebuild kit ) that will be at least E20 compatible for your Dream.
Worse case scenario is a brand new carburettor with ethanol resistant parts about 2-3000 baht.
