There are about 12000 traffic deaths in Thailand each year. 250 per week or so. Songkran deaths are not any worse than any other week when you figure kilometers travelled.

The supermarket in Central Chidlom in Bangkok has Manuka honey. Saw it yesterday. Expensive, but I forget hoe much.

It's worth almost any inconvenience to me to not to have someone standing two meters away and staring at me as I look at the merchandise.

400 bht is a pretty good tip for those guys. I think it's actually their job to put the bike on and off the train.

Downloaded fine for me, as do all Amazon books, and I'm in Thailand.

Thanks for posting the info!

Thanks!

Realistically, his franchise agreement probably determines the pricing policy. I hate it also though and see nothing wrong with pointing that out whenever the opportunity arises. Perhaps it will influence someone, somewhere......

I love it when the bars are open but they can't play music. Absolutely my favorite time to visit Pattaya!

Calling true for help with this kind of thinG usually works pretty good. My experience has been that they have customer service people with excellent English who will guide you step by step. Not to say that true doesn't have problems!

Oops, sorry not sure if 516 is the correct number. Anyway, I traveled between the airport and the khao San area twice weekly for three years and can assure you that nothing good will come of trying to get a late night van from the airport.

The 516 does run from makkasan rail link station to khao San but its not reliable and could be a long long wait.

Taxi or train to phyatai bts then taxi. Forget about any bus from the airport no matter what anyone says.

Thanks for the suggestions, I live in Bangkok and really only use the bike to go a couple of blocks to Villa one a week or so. It's a further ride to the Honda shop than I like so I was hoping just to have the local guy give it a go. I'm a bit scared to have him messing with the carb though. I have some mechanical knowledge, but no inclination to get my hands dirty.

I do mail it around Thailand every 6 months or so and ride it harder, so it does get some use.

I will have him change the spark plug, fuel filter and stick some carb cleaner in, although sustained high speed is doubtful....

Is the air filter cleanable or should it be replaced?

Sure wish I could find an onwer's manual in English.

My carbureted Wave runs really badly when cold, even with the choke on. Stutters, hesitates, and dies. Seems to run fine when warmed up. What should I have the guys at the corner shophouse repair place check/do? Thanks.

EZTV and other tv sites have all started requiring mp4 format of their uploaders

Thanks for your well intentioned suggestions. Saying I was looking for the cheapest one was misleading. I can't stand going to Pantip or Chinatown.

What I want to do is go to a major store and buy a brand name low end media player. I went to Powerbuy but they didn't have any. Anybody know if Tesco, Emporium, Paragon etc. actually stocks and sells media players and can you recommend a brand/model?

Thanks.

My TV doesn't play mp4 files which the torrent gods have switched to. What's the cheapest media player I can buy to view my downloads from a flash drive and where is it sold? Thanks!

I've probably lived in 20 condos and apts. in Thailand over the years. I think every air conditioner I've ever used regularly here has at some point leaked due to a clogged drainage line.

<deleted> How hard is it to design it better! A bigger hole? It's not focking brain surgery!

I wonder if the guy that wrote the ad believes what he wrote or is being deliberately deceptive.

How do you get plates for an unregistered bike?

This ad has been running on all the for sale boards including Thaivisa.

I imagine it would cost at least 70K to get the green book due to emissions testing etc.! Am I wrong?

New Accurate Importation Invoice + Importation Taxs Certificate + New Thai Excises Taxs Certificate + Thai Motorcycle Sales Certificate at The Name of The Buyer + The Original Company Invoices when I purchased it (In English, too) + Plate. There IS all the paperwork to get a Greenbook, but it is only necessary to ride the bike OUT of Thailand, or export it. Otherwise, no reason to bother!

I am an American, working and living in Koh Samui. Come look and ride!

Up for sale is my beautiful Indian Style Vulcan Monster Bike. It is AMAZING! A great runner... strong, great sound, stable, low c.o.g., totally dependable. And the look is absolutely AWESOME! I purchased the bike from a very reputable dealer a few months ago, and I'm DELIGHTED with it.

But, I got the LOVE BUG, and I'm engaged to be married in January-February to a beautiful and charming Thai woman. And we plan to have a family here... so we will be purchasing a car.

I will sell the bike outright with all the paperwork (see below), or TRADE for a nice dependable automobile. Either is fine!

I did a lot of research on the Greenbook Registration deal. It turns out that nearly 80% (+ 5% Mini with False Greenbooks) of the Big Motorcycles Imported and in The Streets in Thailand do not have Greenbook Registration .The Main thing is to have Accurate Importation Invoice + Original Thai Excises Taxs Certificate + Right Frame Number and Engine Number (VIN). This Vulcan was Legally imported by One of the main Big Bikes Factories Importers in BKK from Japan End of Last year as a Full Motorcycle, not in Spare Sparts Rebuilded here!

It comes with all Documentation for Legal Riding In Thailand.

I also crave Ethiopean food.

Upgraded and it closes mp4 video files unless I stop file system shield. Annoying.
