  1. Sorry, I have no idea. I would make a guess at about 10,000 baht, but again, just an off the top of my head guess.
  2. I too follow Paddy, and he has very strong legs to do all the mountain hiking he has done, but I agree with everyone else, that he was not physically ready for this bike ride. Yes, his seat was way too low, and had almost no cycling experience. I am 63 and ride about 40km a day 5 days a week, have never done super long distance but have done 90km with hills and I know how tired my body was. I ride in the morning before it gets too hot. I was actually amazed that he did as well as he did. I never would have thought a guy with basically no cycling experience could ride over 100km on his second day. I was rooting for him but had my doubts that he could accomplish his goal, maybe if he does more research and training he could try it and succeed in cooler weather and off the big roads, but I have to give him credit for attempting such a challenge.
  3. I was told that she would have had to have lived in the US for 5 years, then would be eligible, but a lot of paperwork and documents required to prove it.
  4. I have a nice area not in the city, around the Doi Saket area and Mae Kwang dam area.
  5. Bicycle 40-45km about 5 days a week. Usually ride 3 days then skip one, and repeat, sometimes skip one after 2 days but I average 5 days per week.
  6. I lost a little due to eating less junk food than in America, and bicycling 4-5 days a week. Lost about 2-3kg, currently at about 66kg, I'm not tall so it's a good weight for me.
  7. Same here, I recently needed a new card and they would not send it anywhere but an American address. I had them send it to a family member who then mailed it to me. Maybe I'll try adding my Thai address and see what happens next time I need a new one.
  8. A guy I know (68) just bought insurance last year with a company called Thai Life. I million baht policy with a 50,000 baht deductible and the yearly premium is like 35,000 baht a year. Might be worth looking into at least.
  9. Hope she fully recovers, but I wonder why the need to mention how many followers she has in Instagram, like what does that have to do with anything. I laugh at the term "influencer" too, they sure don't influence me.
  10. No, but maybe I should, less drama. Haha
  11. I go to Winner hobby pretty often but I don't think they carry that type of stuff. I've been doing some resin casting and had been getting my silicone rubber from Rungart in Bangkok, and my urethane resin from a hobby store in Singapore, or epoxy resin from Lazada. Hope this helps Rungart does have a pretty big variety of things but you still wouldn't be able to actually see it and go buy it in a store.
  12. That's my choice too, I like the new Chang "cold brew" everyone around my village drinks Singha, which is too bitter for my taste. Beer Laos and San Miquel Blanca beat the "big 3" though in my opinion.
  13. Sorry, maybe I should have said Giorno plus. It's a 125cc
  14. I just went through this myself, the cheap scooters are used and abused, the decent used ones are almost as much as new. I looked at a used Honda Click for 58,000 baht, and ended up buying a new Honda Giorno for 65,000 baht and they way I see it, the new one will most likely last my lifetime as I don't put that many KMs on. Unless I ride more than I expect which is possible. But overall so far I am very happy with my choice.
  15. That's my area, I can do a 40km loop from my house down 118 and around Mae Kuang dam with back roads home, or turn right at the dam entrance and there are many back roads that are a pleasure to ride on with very few cars.
  16. Prikpot sells ready made tea bags but it takes about 2 hours to feel any affects. I'm with you on not wanting to put anything into my lungs after quitting smoking 40 years ago
  17. I have to agree but I'm pretty sure 1997 would be fuel injected, maybe what they were telling him about "idle motor" means Idle air control motor (I.A.C.) and when the compressor comes on it's not raising the idle.
  18. Also even if they do own a home, depending on what state they live in property taxes could be 500 dollars a month
  19. Yes, that's the company I was thinking. Spice roads tours
  20. I remember seeing a YouTube video of a guy named Joel who is an avid cyclist that did a tour with a company. I'll try to find it and post the name, but the one he went on was long. like 100km I believe but they also had a shorter version at 60km
  21. Same here but my electric and water are higher, if not for wife spending money I could maybe do on 20,000 but as you said I don't care to live that frugal, usually close to 40,000 for me but some of that is budgeted for other possible expenses such as medical or home or car repairs.
  22. Cherry bike on 118 just down from Central Festival mall is where I bought mine. One of my friends use Chaitawat.
