I am going to take it off road and up the mountain a bit but mainly dirt track low land riding. I'm pretty experienced rider, had some really nice bikes in the past, Schwinn Straight 8, Kona Kikapu etc. Near where I live in the UK - in Macc forest we have some really decent purpose built trails and courses. But not riden for a while and just fancied something cheap to get me back on the bike and get a bit of cardio going haha. But the more I think about - the more I want to actually spend haha They do look pretty nice to be fair!

Ahh I didn't know they had Decathalon in Thailand - DC is the standard go to for an affordable, decent bike in the UK. I'll have a look there, thanks!

Afternoon one and all. I'm after getting a cheap ish mountain bike for short bike rides around where I live. Don't need anything serious, looking to spend 5000 baht. There's load on Lazada, but there all brands I've never heard and I don't know what the quality would be like. Brands like Maximus, Gorilla, Any idea on these for example? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/24-maxixmus-titan-21-140-i612210069-s2360766930.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.78.ad83692fUcoBqH&search=1 https://www.lazada.co.th/products/maximus-apollo-275-24-i712934413-s1366032446.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.21.4b93692fIy8rcj&search=1news https://www.lazada.co.th/products/delta-26-shimano-21-iron-by-the-cycling-zone-i1458484826-s3805900467.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.105.2db0692fbFmklu&search=1&freeshipping=1

There's a good group on Facebook for identifying pretty much anything in Thailand; birds, insects, snakes etc Pretty interesting to just follow as well, some really cool and amazing stuff in this country! https://www.facebook.com/groups/thai.species.id

I disagree, the original is definitely the best, but the US Office is also very funny. Michael and Dwight especially

Get some Omeprazole from the pharmacy - does wonders for my gerd. If it helps than its probably gerd. If it does nothing that it might be something else more serious. But more than likely gerd.

Just use Grab, a lot cheaper. About 200 baht Lamai to Chaweng - a taxi would charge 500-600 But yeah, it is amazing that she asked if you wanted the meter. Maybe the Taxi Mafia are changing for the better ????

Those "Tadpole like things" are indeed.......drum roll...... TADPOLES haha

I live on Samui too but order from Siamburis/Expat Foods Thailand (link below). They are very good, decent prices, loads of stock, proper bacon and black pudding etc. If you order frozen stuff the shipping is a bit more because they use a proper container and dry ice so the stuff actually stays frozen. I like playing with the dry ice after I get my stuff hahaha. Delivery is never more than 2 days and usally comes in 24 hours. Very good service. https://expatfoodsthailand.com/
