I understand that road is only open about half the year. 

That goes for many mountain passes in the Alps too. The Stelvio Pass in my above picture sometimes doesn’t open till mid-June and may well have to be closed before the end of September. Depends on snowfall. Mid-June of this year I went up the Timmelsjoch Pass on the Austrian - Italian border, and that road opened only  on June 8 of this year. Still large snow walls roadside.

Personally I think the way to go is small volume of high quality machinery .. Brit's bike industry cannot take on China in terms of volume but the vast majority of Chinese kit is not quality .. Norton should stick to what has got them this far in the rebirth and build bikes for niche markets with emphasis on quality and desirability .. Ditto B S A I'm not sure what the position is with who holds the name rights now but I'm in agreement that if it comes back on bikes again they cannot be cheapo Chinese junk like the M G name has been tacked on some god awful bloody contraptions .. 

I've found this photo of a " new " Lav' from 2 yrs ago but its not detailed enough to get any leads .. 

 

Isn’t this the Laverda 650 Sport that was manufactured by the original factory up to ‘98?

Please get it right, the government of the day, plus the main opposition party stated publicly that the result of the referendum would be respected and implemented. Further more article 50 was passed by the whole of parliament to again implement the people’s decision. Then of course we had the 2017 G.E when parties who again gave their support to the people’s decision, gained over 80% of the vote.

 

 My worry is that my children will suffer, if in the future they are colonist of the E.U. Due to our Treacherous M.P’s and their gullible supporters.

 

 

Perhaps if you would care to look up the meaning of ‘colonist’ you could explain your fears?

Consumer Protection Board? In Thailand?

One of the great injustices of this was that only a small number of embassies were penalised in this way, in spite of claims at the time that the new rules would be applied to all. With hindsight it all seems to have more to do with singling out certain countries for punishment. 

 

Regarding the 45000 baht in the OP, this is currently worth about £1200 in the UK, and many people live on that much or less over there as well. 

Embassies penalised?? Three embassies decided they wouldn’t issue income letters anymore because they weren’t willing/able to implement any level of checks on the income declared. If any penalisation, the citizen of the countries were the ones suffering.

I have used the priority lane for years, I am not very old or crippled or anything. Maybe I was just lucky,but I used to fly with Qatar airways year after year,and I always got a priority lane pass when checking in online,and I never gave them away. I kept them and used them when I flew with other airlines. Going through immigration was so easy.

Nowadays there the entry to the premium lane is more strictly controlled.

The priority lane has been in use since day 1 at Suvarnabhumi. It's used by monks, diplomats, flight crews, handicapped people,pregnant woman,real old people and common people,incl.farangs. I always got a pass when flying with Qatar Airways and checking in online. I went through the passport check in less than 5 min every time. You can actually put the priority lane pass in your pocket and use it next time,instead of giving it to the imm.officer. They NEVER EVER look at it. I even used mine flying with other airlines. Still have one pass.

They NEVER ever look at it?? Perhaps not the Immigration Officer, but I have often seen pretty strict control on the entrance to the premium lane and seen people being denied entrance. Recently, a friend of mine tried to get in with a pass he still had from an earlier flight in businessclass on a different airline - they wanted to see his boarding card for the flight he arrived with (in economy) and he was not admitted.

Not for aged like 50 or so. It is for those who can't do for themselves and need assistance or for handicapped.. pregnant... And small children.

... quite a read that! from the World Trade Organisation

 

but after all that, it now seems that Thai Customs is treating ASEAN (in concept)

 - as more like a NATO, than an EEC

 

.........................

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The concept of ASEAN is a Free Trade Zone, which implies - based on that same GATT - free trade of goods originating in other  countries in that zone. Different from the EEC - now EU - in that the latter is a Customs Union, in which the origin of goods in trade between Members is irrelevant.
