'Covering' your brakes 100% of the time is way over paranoid. Long hauls would be a nightmare. Very wise in dense urban areas though.

Au contraire mon ami. Being able to stretch your hand out (and varying the fingers covering the brake/clutch helps prevent cramps.

Uhm, yeah, curl, stretch, remove, shake, place in crotch for warming, light a smoke, wipe my visor, zip-unzip jacket... too many reasons why 100% coverage is impossible and unnecessary on a long haul. 1-12 hours or more and I like using a throttle-lock so I can ride totally hands-free at times... to each his own.

Back to the topic now!

Samui immigrations wants a med certificate from a hospital, no clinic.

Google map with coordinates and address in Thai and English.

They also want house book where you live and if renting copy ID from owner.

Thank you for the replies. However 2 posters say I need one and two posters say I don't.

I am happy to get a certificate if i really need one but am still getting conflicting requirements.

Isn't there any retirees out there who have renewed their visa at the Samui immigration office lately?

Cheers

Gator, if possible, why not make a recon trip to immigration office to confirm requirements?

At 70 years of age, if this is how the gentleman decided to check-out, I have no issue with his choice.

If the OP is unwilling to try simple diagnostics it will be difficult to provide help...

There are no assigned seats... first come first served within your grandstand.

I think Trevor Noah would be a good replacement!

Perhaps I've seen him but just had to look him up.

How could someone from South Africa be able to fill the role of John Stewart in American comedic political commentary?

Brit John Oliver could but he's been in the U.S. a long while and lots of experience.

Then I guess you wouldn't approve of my other suggestion either... Russell Peters!!!!

Our favourite cheddar at Makro has not been mentioned yet. Pauly brand from Wisconsin is a mild cheddar, 2.2kg for about 700 baht. Fine for sandwiches and cooking... not exactly a prime candidate for a nice cheese tray though! BTW their sister product Schreiber grated parmesan is a good value as well.

leading a little of topic ,but reading today donnington race track uk,have had to pull out of hosting the moto gp in the uk on aug 30th 2015,if silverstone isn't available as a alternative ,i just wonder where else it could be held.....maybe maybe

See y'all there!

So after all the speculation it turns out a three day pass for Buriram is about 750 baht to 2330 baht depending on location.

Hopefully this time around there will at least be some discussion generated rather than a bipartisan stalemate...

Was thinking the same... our rural address has no street but has house number and moo...

For your first extension I would strongly recommend going to the immigration office and getting an officer to detail what is required at that location. Saved me issues with my first extension in NST... their requirements were different than Phuket.

What a load of crock. Just making excuses for the total lack of interest Thais show to their guests and bone idleness. There is no excuse for seizing your passport.

Timewilltell, please describe the time when a Thai business 'seized' your passport. That would be a story worth hearing! Personally I have never handed over an original passport or driver's license to rent a vehicle here or anywhere else.

OP, "Or should I just go to Singapore and Bangkok and deal with normal people?"

Yes, that would be best for you.

Would they like it if a snake lover brought his Boa Constrictor snake in and set it on the table?

I know people how do this regularly.

There are many ties between NST and Malaysia. The routes will be more for Thais and Thai businesses rather than tourists. That said, the AA and Nok Air Fly-and-Rides and a very nice option!

Is 2.5m enough?

I've been to MGP @ Sepang eight times... I'm looking forward to seeing the WSBK circus! From what I understand its a much more chill and fan-friendly paddock. Tickets "too difficult to get" is a bit of a joke... there is no way in hell this event will be sold out so how hard is it to just show up and walk in?

Yeah, tickets are overpriced. I've noticed ticket prices at recent events at BRIC stadium have been rather pricey. The MotoGP a few years back at Sepang was 800 Bt for Grandstand. WSBK is 2k for Grandstand at Buriram this year even though in comparison, WSBK is less prestigious.

It does have better racing though and you do get 2 races.

Seeping 2015 cost is 40 euro (about 1500 baht) for grandstand.
