Thanks for your detailed explanation. Sounds indeed a bit scary 😂. I should at least check the visual indicator after they put in the new oil (after keeping the motor running for a few minutes).

I'm somewhat surprised by what I read here. It's about time for an oil and filter change for my CB300R. I simply want to visit any nearby Honda workshop for this service. I live in central BKK and would go to Honda MC Racing either in Phra Khanong or the one in Silom. Why should I want to wait in their workshop? It's just a simple oil change; any authorized Honda workshop should be capable of handling it, right? Is there anything I should be concerned about?

Been there 2 weeks ago at 8:30am via booked slot. Wasn't an issue at that time.

Thanks @Wout888, your post is helpful as I'm in the same situation. Never stay in Thailand longer than 60-70 days without leaving. Glad that my embassy issues the certificate of residency (though it's 1600 THB). Wondering where will you register your car? When you have a residency certificate from another province, you probably can't register your car in Bangkok. So do you plan to live in Bangkok with a car registered in another province on an address you don't reside?

That's exactly the kind of shop what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

Hi, I plan to buy a used manual motorbike around 200-400cc. I would like to purchase from a reliable shop that supports me with the registration. I'm not looking at Facebook Marketplace, Kaidee, or alike as I don't want the hassle with a private seller and the communication difficulties. Can anyone recommend a reliable shop in BKK for used motorcycles in the 200-400cc class? The ones I found so far sell eiter only scooters or 500cc+ bikes, nothing in between. It would also help if you could recommend an area in BKK where multiple shops are located. Thanks

Ah, OK. Have overlooked this. I had been asked everywhere to do an ATK test when entering KS road. Only exception was the walk through the reggae bar alley.

This isn't Khao San, this is Soi Rambuttri.

OK, then it's CW for me. Thanks!

When I checked the immigration webpage last week there was a popup clearly mentioning that the one-time 30 days extensions of a 60-day tourist visa have to be done in the Muang Thong Thani building. This popup doesn't show up anymore today and on the webpage it isn't clear where to do the extension. Does anybody know is the current office for 30 day TR extension in Muang Thong Thani or back in the Government Complex at Chaeng Wattana Road?

Actually I like the Hooters on Soi 4, not that crowded and a great view, you can watch the happenings on the other side of the road. But nowadays a Heineken at Hooters is 175 THB compared to 95 THB at Stumble. I'm willing to pay more at Hooters, but nearly double? I guess it's now the other side of the road again for me.

Probably depends on the individual walking in and the individual checking the documents. I always show my English drivers license and the EU Green Pass App and never had any issue. Frankly, he just glanced at the documents and said OK. I guess if you show anything with a green checkmark on your mobile, it would also be accepted. I think they take it easier with foreigners.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm in Bangkok (edited the post). It's never too hot for protective gear. And I always start with the intention to ride carefully and slowly... until I actually ride.

Does anybody know a shop that rents out motorcycle protective gear? E.g. kevlar jeans, leather jackets, boots. (if you don't rent a bike there, just the gear) Edit: I mean in Bangkok
