I just hit 30,000 kilometers on the interceptor and did some service. I changed the oil, replaced the clutch cable, plugs, and did the valves again with my son. I also purchased a new chain kit with both front and rear sprockets from Classic ride in Thailand. The chain kit made by Rolon out of India came with the chain completely made up with no master/spit link. The enfield mechanic in my area did a house cal as a side job and installed the chain by removing the swing arm. The chain kit ran 3000 baht and the installation was 800. I am very happy with the chain sprockets and installation price. The only reason I am mentioning it is if you by a Rolon chain for the interceptor (not the himalyan an almost any other bike) the chain comes fully formed with no master link. You must either split it yourself and buy a master or have the swing-arm removed. A bit of a hassle if you don't expect it. after 30,000 k I am still in love with this bike, have had no problem and ride it every single day.

7 out of ten if you count me!!!!!

I lived in Pai for 5 years and just recently went back for a visit. I still think it is well worth the trip .As a side not I took my family to the caves in Soppong (the next town over) It is a beautiful deive and the guided tours through the cave were excellent.

I agree with you. General lack of standards and common sense. I like parts of living here also (my wife and son are here and it is relatively cheap) but I can't stand the general Thai craftsmen, workmanship, and inability to learn new methods and techniques. This "backwardness" is great on vacation and i am not sure how much more I can lower my expectations. Honestly for me, living here full time compared to where I was raised kinda sucks.

Free on skype for sure without any money in account. I have been dialing toll free to U.S. for banks ect. for years.
