On autos you have to open the throttle a bit to have any engine braking, not advised to go down big hills unless you know what you're doing

CT 125 has semi-auto like the C125/Wave

price excl vat is per kg (written in thai) 689.72*1.07*1.092=805.89 rounded to the nearest .25 which is allowed however, if the whole wheel was labelled from europe as being 1Kg, the 92grams could be the weight of the packaging, wraps, films and label which ideally they should deduct from the weight but rarely do, when sold in slices they might subtract the packaging weight

plenty of pictures in other 'proper' media instead of these AI assisted word salad purporting to be news article

I wonder if you ask to switch to TOU would they need to replace the meter again or can that be switched on at the meter

A Wave 125 can do 70km/litre both has similar sized tank around 5.5litre, the Wave would have range of around 385km, while the click is at 275km, at the current price of 40baht per litre, it's .50 baht per km for the Wave and 1 Baht per Km for the Click, realistically the 220baht to fill up the tank will last most commuter around month easily, the savings only makes sense for delivery driver if you only look at fuel consumption

There are still difference, semi-auto can do up to 70-80km/litre while 125-160cc autos are around 50km/litre bigger autos like 300+cc would be lucky to get around 20km/litre but if you ride fast a lot more than slow, it might be more economical to go with autos, modern ones with 4 valve and water cooling can happily do 90-120km/hr. speed while semi autos would struggle beyond 90

Always good to remind ourselves that life is cheap in Thailand, especially for those earning the minimum wages, if they snapped and maims or murders you for slighting them, prison or whatever consequence there is not a deterrent to them

The concern was that whoever approved the sale would be burdened with causing a 'loss' and taken to court due to the price to get rid of them compared to what was paid for them

The fine for driving an expired/untaxed vehicle is 400-1000 baht so you can look at it a shakedown for a bribe, or convenience discount for paying on the spot If they had been legit, after giving you the 1000 baht ticket it must be entered into the 'system' if you paid at the post office you'd have been given an official receipt. The people at LTO office doing your tax will have no power to do about your situation, you want to make a point go yell in front of the police station, or continue to drive untaxed

Was it a roadside speed gun where they flag you down and hand you a ticket or a photo mailed to your address later?

I don't have outstanding ticket, but when I taxed mine online there are now a screen that checks for unpaid tickets, and I did check on the government app using my 13 digit ID number and all my previous tickets and all cars and bikes under my name came up, even manual handwritten one that's parking related, not just speed camera ones

don't exterior walls count as jointly own by both the unit and under the condo common area? ie any modification to the exterior walls must be approved by the condo management

That's also why it doesn't work with Bangkok underground trains while physical cards are ok, when you tap in, it could present a unique number and not match when you tap out Same with shops that link their POS till with the EDC terminal, if you tap with physical cards they send out credit card number to the shop's own POS terminal to store, but tapping with phones don't, or the number sent out is not what the POS accepts as credit card number

Google Pay/Wallet and Apple Pay is just a way to have your phone act as credit card, it's easier for people that has their phones about them can tap their phone to pay instead of pulling out cards from a wallet, some even leave their cards at home You'd need a passcode or biometric like fingerprint to unlock the phone in order to use, unlike physical cards where if you tap the contactless below certain value it just approves without need for PIN Google Pay/Wallet also shows the detail of what you spent and where in the app which might be easier to keep track of than going through paper statements or via the Bank's App You're correct in that there is no benefits to load money into other electronic wallet if you already has bank accounts and credit/debit cards wallets like Truemoney is more for people without access to Banking like kids, they can receive money from friends online and top up their wallet in cash at 7-11s to buy things or pay for games and stuff online service without needing bank accounts or credit cards With the advent of Promptpay you can already use Thai bank accounts to send and receive money to other people with no fee, but this wasn't always the case, TrueMoney wallet has been around for decade now and was at one time popular with certain audience.

if it's a ticket for not having the car tax, keep that up for three years and you officially don't have to pay anymore as the car will be 'off the road' essentially unregistered for those that say they're able to renew their tax with outstanding tickets in the past, the linking system were fully operational at the start of this year, what you experienced before is no longer true, try taxing your car this year

Yes, to save the cashier's confusion just say you're paying by credit card Google wallet even works with my Thai Bangkok Bank's card

They don't have to, it works just like most emv cards, just ask to pay by credit card, and tap the phone to the edc in 7-11s with multiple cashier, there are 'normal' credit card edc machine usually silver ones, but in bigger 7-11 I noticed there are like 2 'normal' one and one black one that says mastercard only for that particular till, maybe they're trialing cheaper merchant rate to be mastercard only. In big place like homepro you can see multiple edcs from multiple banks as they try to juggle to get the best deal

In Bangkok, many times, but note in some branch only a few machine/till are mastercard only, whereas regular machine are visa/mastercard+others even before they put the minimum back up to 300 baht back in the middle of last year only time I find it didn't work is with some supermarket edc where it must be linked to the cash register and the underground trains

I've used in 7-11s, Tops, McDonalds

looks like same mold as baht coin from the 60s

as you press the gear lever down between gears, the clutch is engaged, if you pull out your foot halfway, you can vary the amount of clutch that's engaged, the gear lever on these 'honda wave-type underbones' are both ways as they're designed to be able to be pressed down with sandal

I used to hate small scooters, small unstable wheels, the belt drive needs cleaning and adjusting as much as chains, had a few from Honda Clicks to Yamaha Fino, always prefer my proper big bike (Kawasaki Ninja) over them any time of the day.... but then I discovered Honda Waves... the bigger wheels are perfect for Thai roads, handle bars narrow enough to squeeze through Bangkok traffic engine and drivetrain takes abuses fine, any shop can fix easily, even for hilly riding you can feather the clutch with your heels to engine brake

You think temple school in Nakhon Nowhere has access to the cadet program? or the parents can afford the uniforms?
