permits inter-province travel to allow people to return to normal life and help revive the economy

The Govt has been talking about increasing domestic travel to help revive economy. So tourism should start to become a good reason - 

I am living in Patong and wanting to drive (with 3 friends) from Patong to Koh Samui on 7th June for an 8 day holiday. Can we get out of Patong and is there a need to 14 day self quarantine in Samui? Any information or references would be greatly appreciated.

WELL DONE - Great achievement. I stopped almost 8 months ago after 43 years of smoking. I used the App " Cessation Nation"  and found it good in assisting me to keep track of days and benefits. Yes, Yes the health and taste benefits are very surprising. 

I'm pretty sure it was around 4000 but can't remember -Sorry -  I got a few things done at the same time, new chrome mirrors and brake handles and also a chrome exhaust cover. May be worthwhile to just get it checked out for actual price where you are - I got mine done in Phuket Town..

Yes - I feel it is a much better ride with the air shocks and around 4000Thb  fitted. I also brought over my own good quality helmets from Australia - much better than the ones in Thailand. Oh I also bought an additional remote at purchase to have as backup and that was 2,000Thb. I did the suspension upgrade based upon a friends recommendation after he fitted them and raved about them - and he knows a lot more about bikes then I ever will - he was a very experienced professional racing rider when he was younger. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the feedback guys - I took it all in and also looked around at a lot of Bike Hire Places and yes Honda was much more prevalent. Hired a PCX150 for about 3 weeks and got used to it very quickly and found it much more stable than the Click. I have now bought one and upgraded the rear shock to air shocks and am very happy with the decision. Thanks again!!

I am looking to buy a new bike in Phuket and was looking for input on the better bike and also what new prices are in Nov 2016. i am around 94kgs and not a great rider but careful and generally competent. I also sometimes have the farang wife on the back around 64kgs and mainly just use around Patong area. any input is appreciated.
