It's the atmosphere, noise of the jetskis makes your adrenaline rush, chicks to die for everywhere, smell of racing fuel, it's heaven for me

Yes, the smell of the racing fuel 120+ octane, this and the different fragrances from the most beautiful girls. 

Can't wait

I really would like my glasses back does anyone know

Cross the road, walking past TukCom towards the beach before you get to Soi New Day Night, there's a shop selling locks and fixes watches.

He's been there for decades, ask him, I think he fixes glasses to, he may know your friend. 

Also might be worth having a look through Theprasit night market Friday, Saturday, Sunday, she may have a stall there.

Yes my 4yo Click still feels bullet proof, 100% reliable

I reckon the Honda Click, BestBang for your Buck here in Thailand. 

I'm too big (6'2) so I must go with the pcx. 

Don't pay too much attention to the negative posts, some people you just can't please. 

I've had a few big bikes (1000cc over) in Pattaya over the years, I prefer shorter rides 1 or 2 hours as it's tiring, lots of concentration, the bike is very noisy and I take off at speed from the lights (show off) so I'm always looking in the mirrors for cops and ahead for animals on the road etc. 

My best ride ever has been on my PCX, took it to Koh Kong, rode the Sukhumvit all the way to Cambodia. It follows the coast at Trat, great ride the coast road. 
When I'm riding the PCX I'm more comfortable, parking is not a problem, don't worry about theft or damage.
It's a dangerous ride, the oncoming trucks force you back and the wind coming from the side can move you sideways. It was a great experience, the feeling was awesome, throughout the journey I'd be going through wild weather, windy and rainy, I'd get soaking wet then the next hour of riding I'd dry out to get wet again the following hour, I ditched the raincoat, just makes too much noise.

I have not been able to find a One2Car onlin

Kaidee.com

Also, these days I've noticed 2nd hand scooters with their odometers wound back. . 

Apparently it's quite easy to change/reprogram the speedo with devices bought on lazada etc. 

Back in the day all the taxi motor bike riders would buy Honda Waves or similar but they're choosing PCX's these days.

Lots of these used bikes on the market with reduced mileage.

Motorbikes are very dangerous in Thailand

It not the motorbikes that are dangerous its the user and its not only Thailand is the world over. 

To ride a motorbike safety on the road you need training, experience.

I've seen so many videos of accidents that could have been avoided if the rider had not frozen or panicked or just maneuvered around the obstacle.

Thai sailors used an electric pump on the patrol boat to pump water out of the mysterious ship

OMG, who drew the short straw to go on board. 

I reckon the entire crew would have been avoiding going on board the GHOST SHIP. 

The old sphincter would have been quivering, a few sailors would have been sh1ting themselves. 

LOL

You want to live near a beach in Thailand, you can expect jet ski and speed boat noise.  

Yeah, and all those beautiful chickybabes in skimpy bikinis, wearing next to nothing, smelling beautiful with their different fragrances. 

And don't forget all those trendy people early mornings exercising ong the beach foreshores saying good morning, it's similar to living in Brisbane, people are friendly. 

Also the cool Seabreeze each and every day, I ride my PCX down the beach roads each and every day, it's soothing, gives me energy, makes me keep my positive and happy attitude in these sad times. 

All my life I've only lived a few kilometers from the coastline, it's medicinal. 

Life is good ????????????????????

A few years back I was at the traffic lights on a interprovincial road (3 lanes each way). 
 

Two police offers saw me & approached my car, told me I’d been caught on camera speeding.

 

I asked the the speed limit… one said 80 kmh, the other said 90 kmh !!!

 

They couldn’t tell me how fast I was going. 
 

I told them to stop wasting my time, either write a ticket or let me go… 

They let me go…. & then in English said ‘drive safety!’…. 
 

 

21 years ago they pulled me up on my way to Phetchabun with the Mrs. 

I rolled down the window and the 2 cops nearly fell over when they saw a foreigner driving. 

I showed them my license and they waved me on, with a smile.

As I drove off they looked at each other in disbelief, like what the heck just happened.

Might want to leave the village once in a while.  It's the one that has 'Highway Police' written on it.  All 4 sides of the vehicle.

Hey, nice photo. 

I've only ever seen the beat up Accords
