Thanks.. I always wondered where the break point was... 

Don't bank on 110 as the cutoff ????

Could you get a glass of wine with your meal? ????

Why start another topic?  already discussed elsewhere!

OP must be a new driver in Thailand as speed traps have been in use all across Thailand for years now, every city even in Issan. There are signs of a camera with a speed limit on it at most highways these days. If you follow the rule and stop speeding you wont get fined.

90 kph is a joke on multi lane highways.  Try driving Chiang Mai to Bangkok & beyond at that speed.  More likely to fall asleep from boredom.

The guys that use(d) a multi-entry Non O from Sav or HCM to live here without 400k in the bank or showing 40k a month into their own Thai bank account from abroad might be in for a serious shock.

 

What will they do if their visa runs out, they come to an end of a 60 day extension based on family, cannot get another extension so need to leave, perhaps no more multi-entry visa from neighboring consulates, need Covid health insurance and health certificate from their home country to come and go?

 

It could be a right nightmare for them. 

 

Will every sort of border run require covid insurance and health certificates every time someone does one. A right PIA that would be. 

I imagine a lot of them are like myself.  Fed up with local immigration office bureaucracy,  cr@p exchange rates, hoping for the baht to decrease in value, reluctant to stick 400,000 in the Thai bank account, prefer to do the multi non-O.  When the push comes to a shove, many will reluctantly comply with the annual extension circus.  Sorry to burst your bubble ????

Yes and they can change the name to Koh Chin.  ????

Thought that name was already taken, in Kerala, India ????

90 kph speed limit on a multi-lane highway is a joke.  110kph is not super fast.

In that case what about the Firenza from B Quick ?

No idea.  I guess use google to find some reviews.  The tyres I got were AT tyres for my pickups.  The Bangkok dealers on Lazada beat the local shops in Chiang Mai.

Just tried Cockpit online and they have Bridgestone ranging from 5,900 to 12,000 and Firestone Firehawk for 3,800.

If you only drive 2 or 3000 km a year, try cheaper tyres like Deestone, Dunlop or Maxxis.  I bought 2 sets for 2 pickup trucks off Lazada.  Good prices.  They shift lots of tyres.  Cheap to have fitted at local tyre store.

Are they offering the promotion at normal low season prices?

So Roundup is still acceptable. ????

Isn't the danger of roundup with those applying it without protective gear on?

Near Doi Suthep summit, 'San Goo'. (San Ku on google maps), no easy route to HTT lake from there.

 

Or are you talking about the Princess Sala, just down from the summit of Doi Pui?

Not ancient at all ..... about 20-30 years old.

He doesn't say it's an easy route.  Pretty easy on a MTB if you keep to the dirt road.

Probably safer to concentrate on domestic tourism for now, & businesses producing goods for export.  If another wave arrives from outside Thailand, it's back to square one with another lockdown.

And get the kids back to school.  Imported infections will scupper that.

I think you mean Doi Suthep summit ????

I can't remember where but I read that the amnesty may be extended till the end of the year. I know they can be silly but I'm sure they will do something to stop the offices and borders overflowing on ,31st July.

Well I hope they come up with an exit strategy for the amnesty & don't wait until too close to end of July to announce it.

If the amnesty is not extended there may be cases where they will allow people to get a 30 day extension with a letter from their embassy.

 

Do you think those with expired non-O visa will be able to get 60 day extension to visit spouse when amnesty finishes?
