Hi guys,
I've just been reading about Keeway motorcycles and its got me interested in their 250cc V twin 'Cruiser' model. Web site: http://www.keewaymotor.com/motor_cruiser.html
Does anyone know if there's a dealer in Thailand selling these machines - Phuket would be ideal, but that's probably asking a lot. Anyway if anyone 's got one I'd be interested in hearing about it :jap:

Severe rain and quite high winds in Chalong also (at least the northern part) for the last several hours. Forecast is for same same right through until next week. September is traditionally the month with the highest rainfall, and maybe we're paying the price for a relatively dry 'rainy' season so far.
First off, what the hell are you talking about 'relatively dry rainy season'?! It's been raining practically every bloody day this entire year! Started when a friend went home beginning February and hasn't dam_n well stopped, apart from a couple of blisteringly hot days. I know, I walk most everywhere.
Secondly, 'September traditionally wettest month of the year'?! You been reading the TAT propaganda website then? It pisses down throughout October and November, November, 'the start of the High Season, according to lying TAT - they know it's way past school holiday's and well enough time before Christmas - is by far, the wettest dreariest month of the entire year. Just ask another friend of mine who always insisted on visiting in November 'because he liked to go skiing in the New Year'. He doesn't come here at all now and I feel sorry for the poor sods who pay a large chunk of change after trusting TAT and 'guidebooks'.
What a 180 turnaround from last year.
The weather on Phuket is extremely localised. You must live in the wrong part
. This has been one of the driest 'wet seasons' I can remember for many, many years. -
If a mistake was made it is up to her to get it changed.
If she stays over 30 days she will be fined 500 Baht a day if it is noticed when leaving.
As said knowing her nationality will help.
The officers at the airport haven't the time to check properly. No doubt they'll see her 'permitted to stay' date is still valid and let her pass through. The only issue I could see is if the immigration computer system throws up an 'overstay' warning, but does it have this ability?

The colour print head of my Canon MP145 has lost red, despite being refilled; I guess that's due to a lack of use. Anyone know how to 'kick' it back in to life, or is a replacement the only answer?
When my Epson haven't been used for 2 month I just clean the nozzles with the Window program and that normal do the trick.
No, I've tried cleaning - normal and deep. The red output just consists of random horizontal lines.

They used to check and accept payment too. I think you will find that they have now washed their hands of the whole process.
Hong Kong office is actually very good. There was a slight problem with my application. I received and email from them. I replied and the next day had another email saying everything was sorted.
All in all a very efficient service.
Correct, they have washed their hands of the whole process - with the exception of if your old passport has been damaged or lost.

If someone is interested we have the New Fiesta 1.6 liter in stock as a rental car. I choice it, because it comes for 644'k with 2 air bags, ABS, ipot input, alloy wheels, driver seat high adjustable, intermitted intervall wipers, double clutch automatic transmission und much more. etc. Fiesta has much more options than a vios E for the same price. I guess the technology is the same as Mazda 2. One more thing: Fiesta will not really be a target for theft.
Is the ipot for cooking?

u can try my place Bedrock Guesthouse in ban phe. check it out on a google search or trip advisor reviews
cheers mark
Some good reviews, but a pity there's no proper photos of the place on Trip Advisor. Might be worth your while correcting that :-)

My wifes nephew is travelingto Britain today and his mother rang up worried about the rioting ,i just told her that not a lot of tourists stay in Brixton or Dalston
and there wont be a lot of rioting in Banbury where he is going to stay with his aunty. No rioting it Banbury. Sure? The last was in 1988: http://www.sirc.org/publik/ddbook5a.html and it could easily happen again.

Immigration always allows to extend up to 30 days early and prefers you do it in something like 3 to 2 weeks before.
Exclude Phuket from that statement. If you turn up at immigration with 3 weeks left, they tell you to come back nearer the time.

Several years back my foot slipped off the kick-start of my bike, taking with it a small slither of skin off my ankle. I didn't think much of it until three days later after it had become infected. The pain and sleepless nights I endured for more than two weeks was unbelievable. The moral of the story here is to always make sure even the smallest wound is cleaned and and iodine (or similar) is applied generously straight after the event. Wounds easily become infected here in Thailand. Be warned.

Get a life for God's sake. If it's very important for you go back home and be just happy! Free gifts? Alright, I'll buy you free orange juice and make you very happy person!
The topic was started at 5.33 in the morning by a newbie troll. Don't take the bait :-)

Most Thai white goods come with 2 pin plugs, however there is (in most cases) provision for an earth connection to be made to the outer case - normally a screw with an etched earth symbol. If this isn't done, under fault conditions electrocution is a possibility.

My understanding is that Thai people must be able to produce their ID-card within a reasonable time, (in about 1 hour). There are some treads on this.
For foreigners, this also goes. But there is of cours also the immigration act. That gives the police the authorithy to detain a person who they suspect is a foreigner and is illegally in the country till his status can be determined.
Interesting reading, but it hasn't answered my original question - I still haven't seen any document that actually states foreingners carry their passport at all times.
-
Only the original will do. But in many cases the Thai drivers License will be accepted, as will a copy of your passport.
If they suspect you are an illegal alien, they can detain you till you can proof that you are legally staying in the country.
Do you have a link to an official Thai document that actually states foreigners carry their passports at all times? My understanding is that everyone - Thais included, must carry some form of identification, be it a driving licence, I.D card OR passport.

At least you can have a look at the equipment, it is quite impressive. The dark stuff is tasty, and I can recommend the Fish&Chips!Thanks mate. I've been to Jungceylon many times but never went into, or behind, the boat. I'll check the place out in the next couple of days. Can you actually see them making the beer there?
That beer looks cloudy to me

It all comes down to the job describtion.
The law states a few jobs you can't do, but dooesn't describe what that function is. You can't be a lawyer, but you can give legal advise.
A few jobs you can't do? Don't you mean 95%. Whatever, to work in a bar means obtaining a work permit under false pretences. Fine if you get away with it

My Thai mother-in-law has been to Germany twice with Schengen visa's issued at the German Embassy in Bangkok. The process was surprisingly easy - one simple form and the fee, so I can't understand your concern
-
.....and foreigners can get a work permit to work in a bar?
Of course they can. There are plenty of foreigners working legally in bars, particularly in Pattaya.
Surely working in a bar is a job reserved for Thais?

I was curious where they got Srisoonthorn from. Turns out it's the name of the temple north of Heroines Monument that has the giant golden reclining Buddha.
Not really. Wat Srisoonthorn is in the area known as Srisoonthorn - a sub district of Thalang

How about Vietnam, Saigon, get the visa easy enough for you, Thai's dont need one, then take the lad to Cu Chi tunnels etc and he can let rip with an AK47 on the shooting range there, crawl through the tunnels, look at evil man traps, much better than disney
Are you seriously suggesting a 12 year old be let loose with an AK47?

Thanks for the link. - I've e-mailed them to see if there's a dealer local to me.
Doing some research these bikes seem to receive nothing but praise from their owners - mainly in South America, but also across Europe. There's also some interesting YouTube videos.
