The tile of the video is: "Arriving of the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT"

According to the WWW: 85HP and 233kg

85HP... that's almost 2/3 of what a 600 super sport puts down.... 555

won't have to worry about the throttle too much, this ain't gonna be any kind of a wheelie threat. Read "sedate cruiser"

83 and confused and wandering around at 430 am.......how did he even get there???? looking for his teerak?  

I mean who among us has not been found at least once wandering (stumbling?) about at 4:30am, somewhere in Thailand, looking for teerak?  Hope I still have that kinda mojo when I'm 83

Yeah man! I wanna see the Youtube video of this respected travel influencer getting a sweet, soapy, ladyboy lap dance!

the second picture refers to a negrito group of people in southernmost Thailand: Sakai (Maniq).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maniq_people
there was a Maniq child, Kanang, living at the court of Rama V ca. 1900.

looks a lot like the doll and statue to me...

Personally I would also recommend this one. If not mistaken it's around 100 Thb / Kg Pengasius Filets. in Makro 

Tried and rejected... frozen pangasius from Big C... cheap as hell and looked great on the plate when fried, but one bite and we both agreed it sucked. We reluctantly finished dinner, but gave the rest of the filets away to gf's thai friends.

Still very much looking for good fryable Cod/Halibut replacement here in Phuket. I did see some Frozen cod filets at Villa Market, but I imagine quite pricy... I may be going back regardless because I'm feeling that fried fish craving coming on.

Ah, very interesting... I stand corrected. 

500B on Lazada, and they all come from China... I've ordered tons of electronic bits that way and never had a single issue. There's nothing on the package indicating a radio receiver, and even if they inspected the package they'd think it was a memory stick. Nobody in Thai customs would even know <deleted> it is... It doesn't look like a radio.

It won't be a problem. 

Watch some you-tube video's they'll tell you everything you need to know to get started.

Depends what you want it for. A Nvidia is way over spec and pointlessly expensive for someone who just wants to stream movies etc.

Had a 2000 baht Android box for over 3 years and zero problems.

Glad you're happy with your setup.

Are you interested in SWL-shortwave listening, or in amateur (ham) radio (two way communication)?

If you're interested in listening to shortwave broadcasts (and lots more) go to Youtube and search for videos with the keyword RTL-SDR. Lots of stuff for the entry level listener and very cheap to get started. All you need is a cheap RTL-SDR dongle that connects to your computer, an antenna (a random long wire strut up in the trees or on your balcony) and some free software.

If you're interested in transmitting, ie. amateur radio, you'll need to be tested and licensed, which is not easy to do in Thailand if you're not already licensed as an amateur radio operator in your home country.  Actually it's not at all easy even if you are...555. Lots of paperwork and bureaucracy, TIT.

So how many of your cohorts chose the Sinovac over the Astra Zeneca?

Bring the login credentials for your US based Netflix and Amazon Prime Video accounts, and setup a good VPN.... These will hold you for video entertainment until you can become a Kodi wizard

A few misspelt long words don't make your argument. Especially when your computer or phone can correct them... 

Did you mean misspelled? 555

Seriously, do you guys live in caves somewhere? This is Thailand.

How many women do you know that wear full face helmets?

 

How many women do you know who read this forum <deleted>. Maybe join a gardening forum or something... it'd get you closer to those in need of your profound advice.

.....And monkeys will fly outta my butt!

registered Thursday morning early.... got confirmation immediately... waiting for SMS to make appointment, I guess...

FWIW maybe visa type has some effect? I'm on a non-O retirement valid until mid 2022

Before getting TOO twisted up about this story, I would make the observation that this Thai Visa News story is so far uncorroborated, with NO other news sources in Thailand reporting it as far as i can tell after doing my best internet searching... Not the Bangkok Post, not the Phuket News, not Thaiger, and not anybody else that I can find.

The news story notably cites ONLY unnamed "government officials". I think that's a little bit "thin" for a news story this incendiary.

A call to a friend who is a respected long time journalist for a significant Thai newspaper who stays pretty much up to the minute on these matters reveals that he has heard nothing about this from other journalists, government sources, or in editorial meetings.

Maybe Thai Visa News has scooped every other news group in Thailand.... maybe... But I'm going to wait until I see something a little more substantial before I get too worked up about it. If anybody reading has found any confirming reports, especially any with named sources, I would love to see it because if this story is in fact accurate... well... light the torches

Edit to add: FWIW, the only international stories I can find (yes I have a VPN) relating to a tracking bracelet are from Oct and Nov. of 2020 when such devices were approved. As far as I know the only use of them has been for tourists arriving yacht-borne which has been well documented.

Still waiting....
