When Thai banks quote these rates like the MOR 7.575% are these APR (Annualised Percentage Rate) or a flat rate. When i see many adverts offering credit they seem to quote flat rates, which are roughly half the APR.

In my Honda dealership in Pattaya, Thepprasit Road they have about 5 ADVs all ready to go. Just arrive with your documents and cash and ride it out. My problem would be paying the 8% farang tax they are charging.

That's a joke right. Almost everyone here seems to have access to a gun if they want,

A Fortuner - 'nuff said.

The other issue causing problems in the UK now is maintenance and the lack of qualified technicians to service EVs. Would you want SomChai servicing/repairing your EV?

Why not PowerBuy. In Central they had it for sale at 18,300.

I had a walk around last night. Looks exactly the same as the old Made in Thailand. What ever they paid was a waste of several million baht.

Try giving "your" book to a friend.

That's why you should never buy Kindle books. You pay for them but they are never yours.

I guess it would be interesting to know the number of farang deaths in Thailand. Especially in relation to motorcycle deaths. How dangerous really is it, and are the deaths more young or old riders.

Confiscate and crush the bikes. Problem solved.

What's even stranger about this story is that Teerapong must have taken the gun to work at the factory, as you do!

Anyone seen an increase in their Bank's interest rate on savings after the BoT rate increase to 2.5% ?

There is some construction going on but many parts of the beach are available no problem. I am not a big fan of them widening the beach. Where they did it further down the beach now is very wide with very few shady areas near the road. So if you sit there a) you get very hot and b) it's a long (hot) walk to the sea. I prefer the area in front of the Copacabana where we still have the lovely big trees for shade and a short walk to the sea. Second half of October might be a bit rainy, bring your umbrellas.

Most mixed race women are gorgeous, like Chompoo. They have the best features from both races.

Not yet. Haven't been able to find anyone who can comment on whether it improves the ride.

Speeds around town are pretty much limited by the traffic and the lights every few hundred yards. So it doesn't really matter what bike you have that's the speed you will go at. I use the car around town mostly and the average speed is 12 mph !

I have been done twice on the 3rd road left into Pattaya Tai. But every Thai seems to turn left with impunity.

Agreed, i wouldn't touch a place unless it was on the baht bus route or in the centre of town.

Where are you Simon to get the ADV160 for 98.600 on the road. That's below list.

I get .9% with Krungsri here and 4.84% in the UK. But not worth the hassle of moving over to the income method for a year or so. You can drop down to 400k for 7 months anyway. Plus i only did my extension a couple of months ago. I am not sure of the rules, can you switch to an income method mid year or do you have to wait until the next extension is due?

Why? they just won't pay it.

Yes it's cheaper to fly from Europe to Thailand than from Thailand to Europe but where you buy the ticket doesn't matter.

Crazy rule. So you can't go on holiday for more than 14 days !!!

I wouldn't risk going to the airport without a re-entry permit. If for any reason you can't get it there you are in a world of hurt.
