Big bikes should be restricted to racetracks

Really? Guess would need to know what the definition of big bikes.

Putting anyone on a big bike without prior proper training is an accident looking to happen. 

Someone with fast experience on a 125cc switching to 1000 cc

needs training so they know what to expect.

In the NE countryside I see underage children riding motorcycles all time. A motorcycle should not be a babysitter.... why parents allow

it is beyond me. 

I don’t see Big Bikes being a problem. No proper training is...

Bump it up to 100-110 would be OK. One problem and it’s the same at 90 or 110. Big trucks in the slow lane usually don’t slow down when their passing a slower vehicle or? They just push to the fast

lane. Seems they take a lot of risks. 

My guess when seeing cars in the center gutter a good amount were probably pushed to avoid hitting the vehicle changing lanes/overtaking a slow vehicle. ....

OP think about what’s been mentioned and then come out rent a 

place for 2-3 months at a price and area you’d choose if here full time. See how it works for you and make a decision based on your 

real experience. Track your expenditures and see if that’s workable.

All the best to you... Enjoy life

hospital's pharmacy which could be expensive if it's a private hospital. 

If your local pharmacy can’t supply what you need because only

available at Hospital (controlled). My expierence at hospital was

expensive (12,000 2 months 6 different meds) and I asked are 

generic available and y s yh y are but will need to be ordered.

next visit I asked the Dr. if some of the 6 I take a day available 

at pharmacy and 5 were 1 can only get at hospital. Now all total 

about 1,000 baht a month. Some of the meds were a different 

name and the Dr. wrote down the names. 

Like the warmer weather year round, people are nice in general

Live in the countryside. Safe, quiet most the time. Going into

town (small town 22. Km and big city 60ish km) a couple times a week is enjoyable. 

Yhise of you leaving just because of visa reasons think it through 

hoing to another Asian country will have its bumps in the road

and you might regret you moved.

enjoy whatever you decide....

I looked before couldn’t find any up here. Don’t know if a law office 

might have something?

I’m sooo confused a 400 cc is a BIG bike... hmmm ok ok

i know don’t think to much. 

All the training you want bit once someones idiot mode kicks 

in .... it gets dangerous..

Best to check laws concerning car/truck alterations. Friends truck was white when purchased and he added graphics similar to picture but more extensive. The Auto tag office would not renew 

registration (window) sticker because the black in their opinion was more than 50% of original color.

Coming now...  guess we’ll have more when this storm hits.. if it hits

Perhaps the logic is it’s easier to make you show 12 months 

so there is little to no thinking needed by IO.

it’s like going to a 20 baht store and asking cashier how much

is this.... cashier scratching his head....and finally after walking

ourside and looking at sign.....he figured it out 20 baht.

Ohhh you were checking that out pretty closely.... joking nothing like busting someone’s balls early in the morning. I was hoping that was a fake fake picture...

As others said the gripe about tightening down visa,extension has been beat to death. 

To answer your question.... The person would be between a rock and a hard place....

Stay with no visa and if caught and put in the clink. Or leave so you at least can work and send money to your family for support.

yes for some it was be easy...   maybe cut back when you can and

safe enough to do whatever ethos works for you. 

It’s me my wife and 3 nephews, 1 niece. 2 sisters , Mama Papa ...

some days I’d like to run out on them but I couldn’t. I’m 65 and the 

clocks ticking .. 4 heart operations but survived... 

My children are 42 girl and 43 boy ... Both paid their own way thru school daughter bachelor degree, son master rs and working on doctorate. Very very proud of them. 

i hope I’m around long enough so the wife and family can learn a bit, try and save and hopefully make good decisions or at least better ones.

Up here in the NE getting an education for most the farmers won’t 

happen. I did here that the Education system is going extend the years of little or no money for education. Now at 8th grace most 

in the village are done with school. 

Supposedly the Education/Govt is going to do something so all

children have an opportunity for a better education..

lets hope so..

Fortunately I e is a Village Marriage or Prison sentence which ever works.... 

Hopefully it works out for you folks from OZ. I’m American 

The strangest think and I didn’t believe it when my sister told me.

My Dads 2nd Wife didn’t remarry and gets US Social Security benefits based on my fathers work. Ex2 has been getting benefits 

for 20+ years... and his current wife can claim as well.

My Mom never had a wage earning job (she raised 5 children)until they divorced. She started working Assembly line type of work until

she was 76. She didn’t want to stop working and was able to but they worried it was to much standing all day 5 days a week.

sorry off track... people talk SS running out well duh somethings should be re acessed... #2 wife never worked except for a couple years after school...

Any good luck..

One would think they could get close with a ballpark figure.....

ooops my bad not suppose to think to much...

I don’t know about Thailand but US most police are a tight brotherhood. Ex in law retired robbery / homicide and a few 

friends still active all feel it’s a brotherhood. 

The son getting the 4 put in the clink could cause father retaliation/ treated like an outsider,

The initial reason didn’t work out so well but my mistake I own it.. it a great place I’ve been here 3 years ....  The World is full of changes so enjoy 

Have a good trip make sure to get your reentry

Yep Kumphawapi station is small and not far from Lotus lake

rode there once on a Honda 150 nice scenery. I’ve attached some 

maps which you may have already seen. 

There are two for lack of better words hotels in/near downtown Kumphawapi. One about a year old (in Kumphawapi town)and the other older ( 10 min drive up 2 towards Udon)

i will mesaage you. I live outside of Kumphawapi our nearest small town. 

Will it be a problem to build? ahhh it’s no problem ... uh until 

it’s a problem. 

A friend living in two floor apartment neighbor added three floors to their apartment.. 

It’s good for the po po most of the criminals are far below the waterline of intelligent
