Yamaha warranty on second-hand bike
1happykamper replied to 1happykamper's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Well... after a few friendly conversations sprinkled with "I'll be staying in this town several years".. they honored the warranty. Gave me a brand new service book and filled in all the items that were performed. Phew. I was worried for a bit... -
Report Tax-Free Wine Boom in Thailand Spurs Costs and Controversy
1happykamper replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Mid range is 3k to 5k baht? Whaaaat? No way. Wrong! My 600 baht stuff must be really scraping the barrel -
A rolled up banknote? 20 baht or 100 USD? Wouldn't a plastic straw suffice without going full HOLLYWOOD? RIP kids.

The Yamaha dealership here in Krabi is refusing to honor the bikes warranty. Because I didn't buy the bike there....thstd their reason. What? I checked before buying that Yamaha allows the bike warranty to be transferred. Fine. Great. I bought it on the premise But because I didn't buy at this dealer AND I dint have the service record book.. The warranty is VOID... because I have no proof that the bike was maintained beforehand. Damn.

80 kph? I'll pee myself. Sixty is my top speed 😂😂😂 I'll get in a highway tomorrow. Try that. Worth a shot. Thanks

Good morning! My 2023 Nmax with only 7k km starts just fine first thing in the morning. But moving is another story A huge shuddering occurs before the bike starts to move... Then everything is fine. Until I stop... Then.. Shuddering again. It feels exactly like a manual clutch in a car that's not engaging correctly I took it to the Yamaha dealer today but they are too busy. Come back tomorrow A comment the dealer made was that he's seen this problem before with fat men. Thai directness 555. I'm 187 cm and 105 kg. Is this cause legit? Can the belt.. CVT?.. can it be adjusted? Or new normally needed? EDIT.. but when the bike is normal temperature everything is smooth again on take off.

Yes I agree... even at 74 years old my only engagement with Healthcare professionals is just to visit the blood lab each year. Lucky me. However this high iron thingy is worth checking out... I'll do that first test and go from there. Thanks

Really interesting. I had never heard of this condition! So.. Too much iron. I have ALL the symptoms too! 🤦🏻😂😂 Are those iron blood tests available in Thailand? Bkk maybe. But I live in Krabi. Thry also sound expensive... Yes?

Well this post went nowhere. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yikes! I'm surprised how quiet this forum is. No expats living in Krabi? Or they simply disappeared off the internet... I digress.. If I returned to live in Krabi... I remember that immigration was easy to deal with. However I will need a visa agent. The creative type. Do they exist? Or immigration there is OK with a renewal in Pattaya?

Foreign Tourist Punches Thai Driver During Heated Argument in Phuket
1happykamper replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Not BS at all. You must be in the group that thinks that violence is a cool way to teach Thai driving lessons. No it's not! I've been living here 10 years... Foreigners are often the most drunk, disruptive and argumentative. -
Oh my giddy Aunt. These sensitive types need a slap in the face. Batman style. I've eaten in that place many times and it never occurred to me to even try for a discount! Body shaming... this is the PC way to protect fat people? I'm overweight... Kids in Thailand poke my belly and say "baby". It's all good fun. Soooooo many people need to get a life!

British Man's Urgent Plea to Save Dying Father in Thailand
1happykamper replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
The foot infection is unfortunate. But things don't spiral out of control with some basic care. Which I'm guessing the dad never did. His 77 years is a pretty good innings for someone that didn't take care of themselves. Time for the son to come to Thailand for £1k and say goodbye to dad 🙏 -
Australian Teen Dies in Koh Samui Motorbike Collision
1happykamper replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
In my twenties I traveled to places like Greece and Yugoslavia... renting a moped. I remember a burn on my calf from a hot muffler very well. I had zero clue how to ride.. and I was riding on gravel roads! Crazy me. I'm sure my mind said that... Well everyone knows I'm on holiday and the locals in other vehicles will watch out for me and be careful with me" 5555. So basically... Invincible! Stupid thinking... But I don't think I was alone in that thinking 50 years ago RIP young man. 🙏 -

... assurance based on what exactly? A crystal ball! They have no idea. Many think twice about driving via Rama 2. How about a nice Sunday brunch on a bkk rooftop to celebrate your success at arrival?! No thanks. Pass- 64 replies
