Maybe this DIY option is of interest to you?
Product is available in Thailand and there seems to be plenty of sales outlets and additional info on YouTube, Facebook etcI have no idea if its any good? as I have no personal experience of the product. But I came across it a couple of weeks ago online.

You would need to set up a Thai limited company to do this fully legally
"consultant / no business in the region" but setting up a Thai company for a work permit with all the hassles plus paying income tax?
To clarify, the mentioned European company has yet to venture into SE Asia and now wishes to do so.I will be employed as a subcontractor on their books and I wish to remain in Thailand.For my salary I will need to produce an invoice monthly for services rendered/expenses an submit it to HO of this German company.I need to understand how I can legally set myself up to undertake matters legally, which will INCLUDE Work Permits, Visa etc... -
Previously I have worked for Foreign companies with there own entity established in Thailand.Therefore work permit, Non O visas & income tax payments have been straightforward to undertake/maintain.I now have been approached by a Foreign company that wishes to employ me full time as a consultant but has no business established in the region.What then would be the best way (if there is a way?) for me to set myself up here in Thailand so that I can manage the work permit, Multiple entry Non O visa's & Income tax payments myself?Assuming there is a way to undertake the above, the intention is to pay my salary directly into my account here. How creative can I be on declaring the full value of funds I receive? I want to be fully legal in all matters, but maybe creative in some!

Not to be sounding preachy at all since I ride here 10 years & in the states close to 40 years but drinking & biking does not sound at all like a sane decision in LOS.
Yes I have gotten toasted on many occasions but The older I get I think more of keeping the 2 hobbies separated.
The group or groups of riders I go out with don't drink while they ride. Just not a safe mixture here in this country. I know I usually will have more than a cocktail or a beer if I am drinking. At least in the states people are not driving on sidewalks & the wrong way unless they are to toasted.Probably safer to ride down to Koh Pangagen & have the special omelet instead of alcohol.
You make a fair point.But lets assume we are addressing this at civilised & responsible riders and maybe change the title to 'New Biker Friendly Pit Stop in MSK' -
Strange how some peoples imagination from a simple unassuming question can propel them on a journey full of fantasy and far fetched assumptions!

As one of a bunch of local Expats starting to frequent this newly opened bar, I would like to ask how can the propriators spread the word and affiliate the pub to the various bike clubs within Isaan and Nationwide?Being a keen biker, the Kiwi owner and his Thai partner wish to encourage passing bikers to stop by, Expat or Thai!

Stock tyres from new on my Forza are Dunlop Scoot Smarts 120/70-14'sIn fact I have found them to be very responsive in all conditions and speeds, not once have I experienced any traction loss scares!I initially had fears that in the dry and perpetually dust/debris coated roads of Isaan traction loss issues might frequently arise as most of the time I stay close to the curb when riding.Reason for the post (although I am happy with the Scoot Smarts) is to check if anyone has experience of an alternative 14" scooter tyre I should consider when replacements are due?

Living in Maha Sarakham either destination is straight forward to reach.Next time however I plan to try Savannakhet for my double entry tourist visa.My questions are:1. Are there any favourable issues comparing one to the other when it comes to ease of receiving double visa?2. Savannakhet is a small town, so any accommodation recommendation to suggest?3. For future reference is there any merit considering alternating double visa application between both locations so as to reduce the likelihood of the 'limit' being flagged?

Lets say for sake of debate that he managed to pay off or 'take care of' all his opposition when things started to go sour for him back in 2005.What would his black money coffers and megalomaniacal ego been able to achieve over the past 9 years?Would he be ruling the country with a fist of iron? Would Thailand now have place of honour along with North Korea in the access of evil top 5?Or would TS and his entourage gone the same way as Gaddafi and Sadam by now?

Oh, so we can imagine DP has driven off into the Phuket sunset, no doubt giving 'the bird' as his parting salute.

Ones political & religious beliefs are very very individual and should not be used as basis for emotional manipulation/blackmail especially with close family or friends.Equally our response to such encounters are very individual.I am sure it was a very disappointing incident for you and I trust it was just frustration a 'spur of the moment' thing that prompted such an outburst from your wife?Hope it works out for you.

Drama Wise: There Will Be BloodThriller Wise: No Country for Old MeComedy Wise: Tropic ThunderI have found movies I used to consider 'classics' from 60's-90's actually seem lame these days.

If Thai people know my name but still refer to me as 'Farang' when introducing me to other Thais, well I take exception to that and in no uncertain terms tell them in front of their friend what's what's!But as a general label i don't mind it.Anyway, better than being referred to as Kwai Lo ("white devil" - A derogatory term used by Chinese to address caucasians) as is my experience when I lived in Malaysia.

All quiet on the NC front!I am curious to know now that a few weeks have pasted how you are getting on with your NC?What are the pros & cons compared to your Forza experience?What really impresses you about the NC and what negative issues (if any) have you encountered?

Best thing is to spend a few days there and look around.
Often you will find handmade signs "For Rent' (in Thai) on all sorts of properties.
Not much English spoken there so if you can speak Thai great, if not make sure your with someone who can, and someone can trust.
Other option is ask your local connection to do the leg work for you. Give them your requirement spec, budget, length of rental required? and ask them to take pics.
You could find some real bargains. We found a very nice new shop lot in my gf small town for THB6,000/month. It's worth spending the time to dig deep.

When Foreigners go Troppo!
Check it out on Facebook, ...anyone know this individual?
He states from a protest site:
"I love Thailand. I had joined the rallies with Thai people about 1 month. And we stay together, eat together, sleep together on the ground road to Protest in Thailand. Even if, Thailand was not my Birth Place and not my country. But i lived in Thailand Land. I will never to BETRAY this land for SURE!!"

...what Thais living in your country discuss, debate &, bicker about on their own equivalent blog site to Thai Visa!What would be subject matter of their most common posts?How would they tackle romantic interaction with the locals?Would Thai's abroad stick up for the indigenous folk and accuse other blog members of "Farang Bashing!"Other than the main General & Main Topics, think of the counties or states in your home country, would there be an equivalent to an Isaan Forum?What unique forum topics do you think would be very specific and important to Thai's abroad?Maybe some of you can give us actual first hand examples if you are living in your home country with a Thai Wife?

You have two options:
1. Choose a dish that is not made with chilli such as Fried Rice (Khaw Phad) with Chicken (Khaw Phad Kai), pork (Khaw Phad Moo), prawns (Khaw Phad Kung) or Noodle dishes (Khew tiou) with Chicken, Pork,
2. You can explain that you don't like spicy
Click the highlighted links and then the speaker icon, you can learn how to pronounce in Thai.
Sorry not very comprehensive suggestions, but will keep you away from 7-11 and McDonalds for a few days

Oops...like some kind of mystic guru I can almost predict the series of posts by this OP over the coming couple of years.
Sad thing is he can't hear the siren of the inevitable screeching towards him over the whoops, cheers & adulation of his own ego!
Oh well

Just witnessed a couple of Italian and American tourist pillocks up on stage at one of the 'mob' protest sites being televised.Do these numb nuts not realise (i)their opinion is not wanted and (ii) they clearly have no idea what they are talking about.I fail to understand the allure of even considering such an ill-informed & ill advised participation in the political rally in a country they are visiting as Tourists!Only small contribution they made was to give the assemble mob the chance to point and nudge the person next to them and utter with undertones of ridicule "doo doo Farang Farang!"This applies to Foreign pseudo"Mob Meat' supporters of either side.

Came here to work 18 years ago and have been having an on/off relationship with Thailand ever since.
Currently we are getting on fine
