  1. When I came here first time 15 years ago, got a resort for a week. Never been, knew no one. Rented a bike next day, found an apartment to rent by the month, with pool. Learned my way around, met some people, who introduced me to others. Learned - go here, don't go there. Buy this here, not there. Had a 'friend' write down the Thai characters for "For Sale" and "For Rent" Found a house to rent. Go slowly, take your time. Ask all the questions you want from N. America but as soon as you get here a lot of that will go out the window. Priorities change, as you will. Meet a girl ... you may be moving to Nakhon Nowhere !

    Does motorcycle insurance include cover for accident medical care? I assume not and separate medical cover is needed?

    All my cars and bikes insurance covers for injury caused by an accident. Now if you get dengue, have a heart attack, stroke, etc. then you need separate medical insurance coverage. Where I come from, the majority of your time must be spent in country of residence for travel medical insurance to be valid. 365 days in a year, 183 must be spent there. They bill your home province and pay the difference. And it covers motorcycle riding for travel or entertainment. Not for racing.

  4. Just exploring the countryside on my CRF I burn 200 baht a day in fuel alone. You are asking questions others have no way of providing answers to. Lunch - can be 30 baht food cart on the side of the road or 2000 baht Le Meridian buffet. Swimming at hotel pool 50 baht a day. Go every day and that is 1500 right there. Go for a drive - car, bike, what ?  Own or rent ? Costs all different. Myself, my wife, MIL costs us 20 K per month just in necessities. My bikes, cars, travel, insurance, ... additional
