Yes you can, from 10 to 3,000 THB.

So I've only had my 'wallet' a few days and, so far I've paid my PEA bill, my True Move bill, done some Lazada shopping, bought my weekly liquor ration from 7/11 and had an ice cream from Dairy Queen. Yer, really useless!

Thanks for that link. It's very interesting. What dog's dinner it all is

I'm pretty sure they are aware of that already. That's why they are building a standard gauge network to accommodate the Chinese high speed trains, which are. ahum, standard gauge. How else do you think the trains will get from Vientiane to Bangkok? (and beyond in the fullness of time)

If one could remove the wheel then one can remove the tyre and make a proper repair using a mushroom plug/patch. So no tube would be necessary. In fact a tube should NOT be fitted in tubeless tyre unless the rim profile is suitable and you won't know that until the tyre has been removed. And if you've got that far, see paragraph one. https://www.continental-tyres.co.uk/b2c/tyre-knowledge/how-to-combine-tubeless-and-tube-type-motorcycle-tyres-with-rims/#:~:text=for spoked wheels-,Inner Tubes,washer on the valve stem.

There's no such thing as an International Drivers License. You either have motorcycle license or you don't. You started off on this thread by saying: Now you're talking as if you know it all. Time waster in my opinion. One that's joining my 'ignore user' list, so don't bother wasting your time in replying.

Filtering is fine. Weaving through moving traffic is a dangerous practice and I'm glad to read that you don't do it. I agree, the Click is a lighter and more maneuverable than the Aerox and I really appreciated its talents when I lived in Udon Thani, but now I live rurally and well away from busy city traffic, so it's the Aerox for me. It's interesting to note that I mainly ride the Aerox, but when I have occasion to use the Click, (usually when I have need of the floor space) at first I find it quite wobbly and unstable to ride. It takes 2 or 3 kms to adjust to the different dynamics of the Click. I guess we acquire 'muscle memory' when we ride a motorcycle and switching to another bike confuses the mind/body coordination for a while. Safe riding, take care and have fun. 😃

What's the problem? Many of us present our bank account details to immigration every year. The account number, on it's own is of no use to anyone without the usual plethora of access requirements.

Cool stuff. Have fun and stay safe. (no weaving through busy traffic 😉)

There was a time when only racing cars and aeroplanes had ABS. Now it's a standard fit on every modern car. Maybe one day it will be true for all motorcycles as well. Be patient Papa. 😉

I'm never in that much of a rush Papa. But I do agree, small machines do have the advantage in such situations.

Weaving through traffic? Tut tut! Back to my earlier comment. If the size of the bike matters, then your getting too close to other road users. But hey it's your neck not mine. Take care. PS. Not knocking the Click at all. They're great little bike.

I've read and heard it many times throughout my riding years (many thereof) that you should regularly rehearse emergency stops so that you're prepared for them. In my opinion it quite simply doesn't work. Why? Because there's no adrenaline and without adrenaline attempts at rehearsing them will never match the real thing. One simply doesn't have the guts to do it, because you knew that you were likely to be off the bike if you tried. As I learned last year, In a full on emergency adrenaline does kick in and you grab the levers like a gorilla. There's no doubt in my mind that ABS saved me from a serious accident and I would say to anyone buying a motorcycle, if the funds allow, get ABS. It's a life saver.

ASEAN NOW HoST = Home of Stupid Topics.

Physically they are just about about the same size and if the few centimeters difference is important to you I'd say your getting too close to other road users. I use the the extra power to get myself well clear of such situations. One could of course buy a Click 160cc and add the extra safety of dual ABS. That would neutralize your 'size matters' argument. 😉

It just occurred to me that the O/P might like to know. After all it's his Topic. So @john donson have you been following this? Both myself and @Lemsta69 have managed to register. It was the 'employment fields' that were my sticking point and I resolved the problem by following the advice given below. Why don't you give it a try?

That's it. Yippee I've aced it! Thanks so much for your help @Lemsta69 @Lacrimas do please take note. That's 2 of us (both foreigners) who've managed get signed up within 24 hours. So @Liverpool Lou was not lying at all.

So I just got a reject from Truemoney. 'Please use valid personal and work information for registration'. Great! I'm retired for which there is no provision. So I cannot supply employer details, neither name nor address. So I'm assuming that all those who have succeeded are working here, or did they just invent something? I'm on the point of giving up.

Well done. So it CAN be done. I've just tried the pink card method. Let's see if I have any success this time. BTW I looked at your approach and they asked for a receipt for my non-O visa. Fat chance of having that from 10 years ago! Did you have one, or did you ignore it and carry on?

Sorry but can't help any further except to say that I have used a UK credit card with Lazada for many years without any problems. Maybe you're being over cautious.

SCB have them. PS it took me a whole 2 minutes to find that out. Probably a lot less time than it took you to write your post. 😉 https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/cards/prepaid-cards.html

I've had exactly the same problem as you @Daffy D on the rear tyre of my Aerox. I fitted a plug as a temporary measure to get the bike into town in the hope that Yamaha would fix it, but no! Just as with you they would only replace the tyre at 1,800 baht. Tyre repair shops would only plug, they wouldn't (or couldn't) remove the wheel. So in the end I allowed them to remove my temporary plug and replace it. I have to admit they did a much better job than I did and it has held now for 2 months without any problem, but I check the tyres much more than I used to. But still feel that I would be more confident if I had a 'mushroom' plug and I think I may have found the answer on Lazada. There's a demonstration video on the page. Go check it out.

You're not alone @john donson, I too would like an e-wallet operated by Truemoney and have also failed. In fact I had one for quite a while and found it very useful, but when they upgraded the security (NYC and all that) I was unable to register. And I still can't! I tried quite a few times and just like you, I sat back and waited for the SMS that never came. The frustrating aspect is not knowing why. The main use I put my e-wallet to was paying Lazada, which I use a lot and paying my True account each month. And before anyone pipes up and says 'get a Lazada wallet'. I've been rejected for one of those as well!

I presume you mean you are married to a Thai, not the Dalai Lama!

How can you possibly make the crop buyers liable for the actions of individual farmers? One exception of that could be sugarcane, where with sufficient enforcement, the processing plants could be banned from from buying in a crop that has been burned before harvesting. But that's a discussion that been going on here for many years.
