Bangkok Black

Forgive me if this has been asked before. Exporting bikes to England. Where to start? What paperwork is needed? Who to ask? ETC? Thanks for any advice

Does anyone know much about growing Tamarind? I have some started from seed, and some plants are now a foot tall.

No idea, but I was waiting in the usual traffic queue on Rama 4 the other day to turn right onto the Sukhumvit road. On the pavement, there were barriers with a sign saying no riding on the pavement and if caught 2000 b fine. Along rides a bike taxi that moves the barrier and carries on along the pavement. Of course, everyone sees this, and it's then a flood of bikes along the pavement. The time I was sitting in the queue, 200 bikes must have gone along the pavement. Imagine 2000b for each. No good putting up a barrier with no police sitting in wait to catch people.

All I know about those 3 bikes is they seem to be the bike of choice for either young women who can't handle them due to the size or young men who can barely handle them, once again due to the size. All will be ridden at speed or revved to show off the loud exhaust. Nearly every one I have seen has been modified with a loud exhaust and various other items changed for the shiny aftermarket bolt-on goodies.

This was posted on local Facebook groups and shows the CCTV footage. To me it looks like both drivers are to blame 50/50 Only two vehicles on the road, and both failed to give way/slow down/stop for each other. Both just carried on assuming the other would stop, then bang!

big gaps there, I guess they used a ship or ferry a lot of the time?

good advice for OP here

updates coming soon

looks like it

If it's the policeman I am thinking of, I see him on Facebook all the time chasing and pulling over pickups, motorbikes, and scooters around town here. No helmet No number plate loud exhausts If the rider tries to ride off, he will chase. In one encounter, he chases a rider for over 10 minutes through the back streets and still manages to find and pull over the rider.

I agree, Some western women who are fat sometimes (personally speaking) look ok. But thai women when they get huge look terrible

yep cheap seed oil MSG sugar all used to make those thai dishes you like

I am glad someone else said it. The crappy seed oil that thai people use is a factor. While that deep-fried chicken from a street food stall tastes so nice, and so many make videos to put on Youtube saying how Thai street food is the best, the problem is the crappy oil it's been cooked in to start with.

4 people..... 4 in a cab designed for 2 or 3 people max. Some trucks are only designed for 2 people with 2 single seats.

Depends on the time of day. Evenings the worst

Any bike auctions near Pattaya? Scooters mainly

tried it

I can belive that

Try getting out of Rama 4 onto Sukhumvit Road. If this helps with that it cant come soon enough

I just thought it would be fun. It's a long trip, but I could bring more of my stuff, and having a van here would be handy. Transporting scooters about and plants to and from the plot of land the Mrs bought. And my Transit has aircon and cruise control. Plus it would save flying back to London then selling the rest of my stuff and selling the van.

not only pickups. In Thailand it can be any diesel that's been modified. pick ups, fortuna,trucks. I seen em all

yes

could be but now I think not as safe

4 people in the truck in the first place is bad enough.

High possibility of mobile phone use and wait..... look there.... yet another scooter with no number plate. I see this more and more these days. Says to me, no license, insurance, tax, or inspection.
