People post their need and want but almost always neglect to say where they are or how far are they willing to travel for said service or item...

Very true. 

I had the same thought a while after my first posting and regretted my omission. 

I live close to the moat around the North Gate in Chiang Mai. 

And I have a bike to travel. 

I would also like to get an idea what other members paid for their ceramic bridge. 

Hello,

today my ceramic bridge fell out. One backside broke of, and I think it is beyond repair.

It was a relatively standard 3 teeth bridge on my molars.

Could you recommend me a dentist, that is a good craftsman and is patient - since my crowns/bridges are always very difficult to adjust due to my very tight bite?

And of course I would also like to pay a fair price, and not a farang price.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Most places will charge you 200 THB for one. 

After much searching I found one doctors office that did it for 100 THB 2 or 3 months ago. This is the place:

คลินิกหมอจรัล
053 327 251

You do need one certificate for every license.

I don't know if they can be copies or they need originals, in my case I asked the doctor's office for 2 certificates and paid 100 THB each, whereas at other places I would have to pay 400 THB total. 

Hello, 

Has anybody experiences to report about the D D Park Rental Apartments? 

I am considering renting from them. 

Thanks.

Did everyone notice the big caveat on the linked website with the chart:

"NOTE: All 2020 and later data are UN projections and DO NOT include any impacts of the COVID-19 virus" 

I was thinking about the same topic. 

What I came up with as a solution was that a mortgage doesn't mean I will own the property but that I could force an emergency sale or auction in case of a default. 

Then obviously the mortgage would be paid back to me first and all money on top of the mortgage would go to the owner. 

I would think that would conform to Thai law of a farang not having ownership. 

What do you guys think?

In Chiang Mai it's done by the Chiang Mai Provincial Public Health Office, 50 Baht, 5 days.

I couldn't find English information on the site re. yellow vaccination booklet. 

Did you just go (where?) and applied?

I have had good experiences with De. Siri over the years.

And how much did he charge you?

A dry safe is probably the only way to go..

Yes, good point. 

I am using this:

A canvas bag in the safe filled with dry uncooked rice would also do the job.

I have mine hidden in the ceiling , the biggest deterrent to your average

burglar is time, they want to be in and out as quickly as possible, so you 

make it as hard as possible for them to find valuables.

 

I have 3 of those small hotel type safes bolted to the walls above the ceiling,

in different places in the house, they have to look up there , why would they,

but if they found one, they would need to find ladders, and the tools that most

burglars carry with them ,would not be enough to detach them. I feel that's

about as much as I can do, I leave a couple 1000 Bhat in plain sight, so hopefully

they would just grab that and leave.

Yes, decoy safes that are easy to find and a hidden real one are a very effective security measure. 

These ratings are not internationally recognized but by country. In the United States f. e. by Underwriter Laboratory (UL). 

The ratings by the labs differ widely between countries. 

If you want a serious safe, I would recommend a safe of at least 200kg, 300 would be better. 

Ceramic safes are lighter and more heat (fire & torch) resistant, but more expensive. 

Concrete safes are heavier and cheaper. 

Don't mind the torch ratings too much, since most professionals would use a Flex. 

Combination and key (get a foldable & detachable one you can carry with you in a tiny leather pouch on your key ring) is the safest combo. 

I understand that now. Thank you. 

But I am still not clear (maybe I am thick ???? if that would be tomorrow, the 5th, or the day after on the 6th of November. When the extension stamp says 5 August. 

Or a different day all together, since date of application or date on the extension stamp may be different?

So that means tomorrow would be the earliest? Correct? 

Hello, 

the date of my 12 months extension was August 5th, can I spend some of the 800k today? 

I am not sure if the rule is 3 months (I guess that would be tomorrow, 5th of November) or 90 days which would be today. 

If it is tomorrow I would need to transfer money from overseas. 

Thanks for your help. 

That's something I really would like to know. 

Thanks for your replies.

I finally bought a Yamaha Mio 125cc with fuel injection, 2015 model, 2017 first registration 31TKM for 18000.

So far I am pretty happy. Shocks are great, good and smooth acceleration. 

So you actually kept the Chanote, even though it wasn't your property?

I thought a mortgage simply gets entered into the record, and the owner keeps the Chanote?

Did you have to pay any additional fee/tax for releasing the mortgage ?

Photos as requested

I can buy a Suzuki Address 125cc for 28.000 Baht, 5500 km, 2 years old.

Is it a good deal?

Is it a good bike with inexpensive repairs and solid performance?

What do you think?

The question is obviously also how much you would get from an insurance. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a calculation like: 28 year old bike = 2% of original value...

Exactly, that's why I think increasing liability insurance on an old bike makes the most sense.

Actually I find it pretty scary to ride around in Thailand without 3rd Party Property Damage (=property liability) insurance. If you hit an expensive car, that could really hurt your bank book.

Here is a very good primer on motorcycle insurance in Thailand:

https://www.expatden.com/thailand/motorbike-insurance-thailand/

This excerpt explains about covering opponents vehicle damage:

3rd Party Property Damage: The whole idea of the 3rd Party Property Damage is similar to collision coverage but only covers the car of the opposing party. This is the selling point of Type 3 coverage because you’ll only need to fix your own motorcycle from the accident without having to worry on the opposing party.

So basically instead of 3+ I only need Type 3 coverage. Unfortunately Roojai doesn't seem to offer Type 3, only 3+.

So I wonder where else to look for Type 3 insurance.

Please check page 3

Well, here is the copy of the quote.

If it isn't what I think (see above) it is, then please let me know.

Your advice would be appreciated.

And kindly answer:

Roojai Quote Motorcycle Insurance.pdf

So the dealer includes compulsory insurance with the purchase.

Is it ok to take his insurance and then add-on 3+ insurance from Roojai?
