The Givi distributor in Thailand got most of their boxes from the Malaysian factories, usually the smaller models, those will be cheaper than Europe. The bigger European models like the V58 I've seen in Thai shops at around 30-35,000 which seem in line with prices on Lazada and Shopee, these importers/distributor ship them in on container so their cost is likely lower than yours, they probably have lots of markup due to being a big ticket item that wouldn't sell as often, but are you willing to gamble you can bring it in by having shops in Europe send it and pray you won't get taxed to hell? Remember, the tax+Vat is calculated after the cost of the freight/courier service, so if they ship it to you using expensive company that'll be reflected in the final price For accurate price there's importer like https://thai.webike.net/ that knows how much customs take and will have price that reflect that and their cut, they don't have the exact model but you can compare with other parts or models to the European based shop and see how much you could be expected to pay

Why is this under 'Bangkok News' forum

The 'Thai' restaurant that call themselves 'Thai Restaurant' or have Thai in their name that serve the typical Thai Food would probably be targeting the tourist Most Thai restaurant goer don't care for the word "Thai" in a restaurant, they'll be looking for cuisine specific like north-eastern, seafood or big garden venue with live music

it's called a 'bonded' credit card, you open an account with the amount and the bank will blocked off the amount, only paying back interest. you have to make payment on the credit you use and interest if you don't pay back in full - essentially borrowing against your own money good question is that can you use this deposit to show immigration to satisfy your retirement/marriage extension say if you put the required 4/800,000 in an account and have bonded credit card for that account, you can then spend the amount that otherwise be sitting untouched

Fireworks in Pattaya from hotels used to be signalling full occupancy for the night,

withholding tax, 5% for rent, the tenant, once they register as a company will have to file a tax withholding for the rent, they can take it out of the amount already agreed or add it on top, depending on how you negotiate

one possible caveat is the the usufruct terminates at the end of your life.... would that be the wrong incentive if your existence become a problem for whoever got a hold of the land deeds,

having a usufruct would also protect you in that no one would normally touch a chanote with conditions attached like usufruct in case where a relative were to got a hold of the chanote and tried to sell/mortgage the land off. but make sure that the conditions of the usufruct is that both parties are required to give consent to cancel the usufruct, otherwise if the landowner can cancel the usufruct and kick you out without you having a say

The criteria for expansion of number of trains per car for the MRT was set only to happen after the passenger density has reached 8 person/ square meters, which in most crowd control manual is well past crowd crush situation

plenty of condos with attached malls and hotels that let you stay long-term around Bangkok, like in Thonglor area, you will be mixing it with Japanese of course so not solely gringos farang and price will be a big point

Thankyou for your insightful contribution, your knowledgeable expertise on the topic is much appreciated /s The monorails are the Yellow and Pink lines - guess what? already on the list The APM people mover pod to the Major Shopping Mall you can't name is the Gold line which is already on the list

Nirun Grand Condo in Pattaya is definitely a ghetto, but there's lots of contact often paid, with the locals so by your criteria of no contact with locals, Nichada Thani in Bangkok is definitely more of a Ghetto than Nirun

if the internet is down there is nothing that can be done, but unlikely, even ATMs would have mobile data backup

12 would need to include the Orange which is built but without no rolling stock of signaling equipment until the west extension is built and maybe the grey line which is not even open to tender yet

so those onward flight ticket booking company is not only useful to get through immigration.... hmmm.....

previously when they were 'Tops Club' that failed in Bangkok they had lots of American Costco stuff like Kirkland, would be interesting to see if they can still get American stuff

unless the dealership is quick in getting their papers, which is unlikely, if you take delivery now registration date will be 2024, but the model year is most likely 2023,

Here's the wiring kit and the box with price shipped from Japan on Webike.net, should work for all models from PCX/ADV160, 350 and the 750 rack is another around 15,000 baht, depending on model

If the ethanol are plant based, would the co2 released be more recently 'captured' by the plants used vs petroleum's which was captured long ago

could do with more rolling stock and more services

I've looked into getting the smart topbox that unlocks with the bike's fob, you have to order the wiring loom as well as the box and honda's own rack, to the tune of around 20-30,000 Baht not sure if big wing dealers for the proper big bike can order them for the ADV750 and such, but the smaller shophouse selling PCX and ADV350/Forza won't have a clue, but look around webike.com and you can find the whole kit With the price and uncertainty whether the Thai version ECU has the necessary port to plug into or not, I can put up with the inconvenience of another key

new cars next year are Euro 5 compliant only now who knows how the lower grade diesel will play with the particulate filter fitted in these newer diesels I used to get lots of soots from cheapest Bangchak and PTTs in the B5-ฺฺB10 only days, Shells and Essos were noticably better so I switched to Esso and Esso premium, now that Esso's gone it's Bangchak Premium B7

few years back when all the charger were free were really great for the early adopters though but the selection of vehicles available now is great too

I forgot about the Bangkok-Pattaya leg of the train, which is not recommendable yet, takes three hours whereas most coach and minibus can do it in under two, usually an hour and a half to the skytrains at Bangna The weekends one are just airconditioned - similar schedule one service a day each way is also too limiting the improved service is Bangkok-Huahin which the new improved times is about three - three and a half hours over the almost four hours plus delays previously, will definitely beat the rush hour traffic on Rama 2 road

with the dual track project completed, which includes removals of many level crossings, the trains times is much improved, definitely beats the roads at peak times
