  1. Aerox is not bad. Engine is great, plenty of power and torque. I didn't like the small leg space in the front (depends how tall one is) and the awkward high sitting position of pillion rider. For the price of Aerox (68.900 THB) I would consider spending a bit more and purchase the Nmax 155 (90.900 THB). More space and more comfortable ride.
  2. Then you haven't been riding a real motorcycle yet. It's day and night between those scooters and a small motorcycle
  3. Patipong Machinery is another popular manufacturer of chippers / shredders https://www.patipong.com/ However, the Nimut system with blades and hammer mill combined should have a better results than the single blade of all patipong machinery
  4. I have a vague recollection that some time ago the Thai government waived taxes for imported large agricultural machinery such as harvesters. But could also apply to sugar can harvesters only to reduce burning and PM2.5
  5. Do yourself a favour and don't buy any "standard" Thai scooter such as Click, Scoopy, Wave etc. At least in stock outfit the suspension and resulting comfort is terrible. You'll feel every bump in the road together with the rattling noise of plastic parts. Trust me, I know what I'm talking. I own a Honda CT125 and sometimes driving scooter of my GF or work colleagues (both Scoopy model). Go for the PCX/ADV or Nmax if you like automatic transmission and scooter style. Apart from that, any small CC motorcycle has much more comfort than those small scooters.
  6. Overkill for only driving around in BKK: too large, too heavy and costing a fortune
  7. Aren't the top picture and those below not contradicting? In one it shows you have to have separate wiring from mains, the other two below show wiring after house meter.
  8. Same thinking here. The above 12 kV is most likely for commercial use in factories etc.
  9. Claas (the German manufacturer of the harvester) seems to have a roaring trade in Thailand. Many square balers sold to contractors, that rent them out to farmers or the sugar mill. Also Claas recently introduced a small series of combines, popular in India and the Philippines, to Thailand. They are multipurpose and can (with changing the front piece) used for cereal, beans, oilseeds and corn.
  10. Any updates on availability in Thailand of the BYD Seal and Neta S?
  11. As with almost all crops here in Thailand that are or have been "trending". Such as rubber, cassava, strawberry and now cannabis. First, farmers think they can make a fortune, that attracts shady middlemen trying to sell seed/seedlings/equipment followed by loan sharks and rock-bottom prices of each commodity
  12. No one heard the noise of the cats? Come on, those thin walls here let every noise through... Besides that, the owner should be found and sued for animal cruelty
  13. I saw one high grass mower with wheel drive on Lazada. Topsun was the brand as far as I can remember.
  14. Burning before harvest? Or using harvester
  15. Decision and new name given by the head of the state (not the general, the other one). Therefore no one dare to comment and obviously any sum of money is good for this unnecessary name change
  16. Another five minutes of fame and a photo OP for someone at DTAM. Can't really see any of this happening. The genie is out of the bottle and any attempt to regulate it will have very little to no effect.
  17. As it might happen soon. And then you have CP cannabis clinic with 7-11 and smoking room
  18. No need to bicker about certain brands or pricing of ebikes that one can afford or not. Fact is that in Thailand there are not even entry models of factory made ebikes are available. Only DIY or retrofit and even this at ridiculous prices. Not everyone needs a fully MTB from Haibike, Canyon or Giant. City or Trekking e-bikes would also do for most customers I guess. Or if you prefer start-ups and no brand name, you can save another 50 percent
  19. Nice EVs, no doubt. But probably super expensive due to import taxes / not locally manufactured.
  20. Thais are the world leaders in creating problems or issues that aren't problems. As if there are no other urgent issues in a public hospital in Thailand. Word just fail me for this. But it's like it always have been: This is Thailand. You Farang, Not understand!
  21. So shops need to ask either for ID, student ID or if no visible belly for doctors certificate? Dream on, this is Thailand.... Everything's going to continue as it was and will never change Shops have solved this problem already: There is a doctor or pharmacist on duty or at least hanging some certificate on the wall that he's working there sometimes. So the consumption is for medical purpose based on his/her prescription for the symptoms of the consumer / patient,
  22. Going since 6 years to Chulalongkorn Dental hospital and very satisfied with their work. You have two options: 1. using the regular service (costly, but still effective and not expensive compared to private hospitals) 2. using the student treatment (which I always did) where you just pay the cost of materials and imaging such as xray or CT. Depending on your diagnosis you will be treated by undergraduate or graduate students under control of their supervisor. Only thing you need for this is time, because one session takes about half day and appointments are sometimes not easy to get
  23. That's the problem I mentioned. Thailand is not farang land. Convert the 2.799 GPB to THB, which is 120k and will get you two Honda Wave or one small real motorcycle. No brainer even I'd like to switch to quiet and more environmental friendly e-bikes.
  24. The problem with quality ebikes here is, no Thai is going to pay the same amount a motorcyle would cost here. No one would buy it, except a small percentage of HiSo Thais and foreigners. Therefore not even optimistic business persons have dared to import a container full of quality ebikes from China (where to 99% all brand names manufacture their bikes) and try to sell it here. Acceptable street or city e-bikes selling in Europe under 1.000 Euros, minus the profit of the seller I think you could buy them at the chinese factory for probably around 500 Euros per piece. Plus shipping and (most likely) ridiculous import taxes they are still more expensive than cheap or second hand scooters with combustion engine.
