@PhiPhi have you seen the super highway in chiang mai? its bumpy as shit (up and down shake) and you feel every one of them 555. When you hit the brand new section the ride is butter smooth (especially with a warm engine), after the sharp inch and a half high bitumen transition bump... 

 

So I did some PCX research and apparently it does 100 mpg, mine is reading 35.8 km/L which if you convert it is 84.21 mpg so really not much difference apart from the small fuel tank but 80-100b and <5 mins stop every now and again for city driving is fine. I thought the difference was a LOT more

In Chiang Mai  can do 180. After 180. Its little shakes..

 But its not about nmax, aerox or pcx. They Speer its 110-120... So its fine road for this is speed.

Fuel consumption showing an average of 30km per liter for mixed riding, slow and considerate in town and wide open on the highways.

Maybe because in 2 or 3 of the countries mentioned the natives have been massacred and replaced by Caucasians. That is not colonisation but ethnic cleansing.

Same as how the native people in the us have been exterminated to a large extent.

And yet when it comes to educational results, those countries most noted for ecouraging free thinking seem to be notably absent in the areas of science and maths and those countries that continue to dominate tend to have regimented learning by rote and teacher centered, curriculum centered instruction.

 

 

of course you can provide a list of achievements that brought the Thais into the international science. atomic Energy? space? can in medicine great achievements? in genetics? Where? Where "educational results"?

They're probably really jealous of countries that were well and truly colonized and plundered like Zimbabwe, Angola, Pakistan, South Africa, Cambodia & Laos, The Philippines, Myanmar, India, etc 

 Why you not Talk about Hong Kong, Australia, Canada ,New Zealand ?

Amazing that nobody here knows about Xendpay.

https://secure.xendpay.com/costs

The exchange rate is way better then those of the banks. Most of the time the rate is even better than changing cash at Superrich or Vasu.

The commission is 1%, but you can pay as little as you want. You can even lower the commission to 0%.

Transfer takes about 1 week.

No need so many words

where is  "even better than changing cash at Superrich" ?

And +1%

 so for 20k as OP ask its be 199 GBP or near  8500 Bt

 do not think its cheapest way  take money to thailand.

Again OP travels to Thailand, then it has the ability to get cash without any additional cost.

I do realise that mathematics is not one of most peoples' highest ability, but a helpful trick about the exchange rate is that when changing say £1,000 a ฿1 increase in the exchange rate gets you another ฿1,000 and vice versa.

 

So at ฿40/£1 then £1,000 nets you ฿40,000 and ฿41/£1 nets you ฿41,000.  For £20,000 then the figures for those exchange rates would be ฿800,000 and ฿820,000 which you should be able to do in your head.

 

This works for US$ and € too - try it & see.  I find it really handy when comparing rates.  For US$20,000 then the figures for ฿33/US$1 & ฿34/US$1 would be ฿660,000 and ฿680,000.

What about you talking?

Bank Rate its more than 1 Bt.

But  in some exchangers difference is less than 1 B

And sure its not work for US$ because the difference buy/sell exchange rate on the US dollar in the minimum amount in good exchangers 0.02-0.1 Bt

easiest way

 

easy ......wire it,      it costs about £10 / 500 baht .  

 

if you lose it on your travels or the HMRC confiscate it then its your own fault for being such a cheap charlie.

the difference TT exchange rate with cash exchange rate can be even 17000 Bt for 20k GBP

 so which 500 B if its can be "cost" 15K B or more..

 and why its must be confiscate or lose?

which is absurd justification.
  so you can say that can be stolen from your bank account or hold account/ money..

So where is cheap charlie? an what is cheap charlie? You not cheap easy going 17k Bt?

Why read European standards, this is Thailand not Europe!!!

why you read WHO standards?

I like a lot more than the European standards.

Because they allow for more value and they are more severe.

 Its can be called even Mars standards.. But WHO even not have any standards about Nitrite , Pesticides so  cant say trust as for drink water

Do you think in Thailand Nitrite , Pesticides not affected for body?

Thailand's other laws of chemistry, physics and biology?

 but up to you of course

Domestic water bills in Thailand quote number of litres consumed per month.

"Never heard or known off water being calculated in cubic metre "

 So you mean He didnt go Uk?

Thai suppliers are not obliged to supply drinking water.

 UK Suppliers must follow standards that allow to drink water.

If you can see   i am start answer alfieconn  about  tap water price in UK

 In UK its in m3..

When there is nothing to object to in fact usually begin to pay attention to detail.
   Surprisingly, it is not yet mentioned about my bad English.

Thailand water supply filtered for drinking is way cheaper than UK and the water costs per month are faction of what they are in UK.

Are you sure?
  Firstly where is the guarantee will match the quality of water for drinking?
Those who set filetry this guarantee?
In the UK, you can sue the water supplier.
Secondly this is the complexity, cost, and how much the filter and install?

 And need find company installer its this same time, and time its money..
In the UK, I went into the apartment and turned on the tap to drink. 
  And in Thailand, how much time? It may already want to change  place of residence when the filters become profitable.

EVERY ATM charges me 180baht plus 2 euro for the European bank so that's 260 baht for every transaction of max. 11000 baht...I think it's theft so i only use the moneychangers now.

 

My favorit moneychangers are Superrich and Twelve Victory, they also give a better rate than any Thai bank.

 In branch by pos terminal  can take money from your card.

2 euro its YOUR bank so its offtopic.

 and can be 0

I just think admission fees or a scoop of ice cream on the beach should be the same price regardless if you're a foreigner or a local. 

ice cream?(c)

PC

 Why you think that?

paid a visit.
  public facilities. discount this subsidy.
  the same discount for example children or the elderly.
  if you're here to get a discount for the old man and the old man you do not you will hate it?

again.. do you hate you not have thai income or treatments  for thai people  visits to other countries?

I hate that some places charge "extra" just for foreigners. Especially those places that list a different fee/price in Thai numbers FOR Thais and in English for foreigners.

WHY?

You not hate you not have thai income. But you hate not have thai price?
