  1. Seems if its a closed hole the taper tap should be ok. You only insert the helicoil 1\2 turn past flush so no way will it reach the taper part of the tap or am i missing something?

    I guess that depends on the thread depth of the original hole and the length of the helicoil? From memory helicoil sets only have two taps?

  2. Ahhhh yep 31mm is too small. they look bigger in the pic.

    My 250 has 41mm so I think 31 would be OK for a 150. I think SR400 forks are 35mm!

    O&O Have you been to the Poosub market in Pathumtani? There will be probably be exactly what you want there! Happy to accompany you there if you want then I can return your compression tester!

  3. People only walk because they can't afford a bicycle,

    People only ride a bicycle because they can't afford a motorbike

    People only ride a motorbike because they can afford a car.

    It a kind of Sakdina for travelers.

    This is Thailand get used to it, either comply ( when in Rome do what the Romans do ) or get fined. Same philosophy as anywhere.

    Sometimes one has to ask why expats come to Thailand because there seem to be a lot of disgruntled complainers.

  4. The projects are very sensible. There is every reason for them to proceed as planned.

    Yes - because the current infrastructure we have is so advanced isnt it. broken track, broken stock basic carriages, 100 year old stations, signals lights.............Im not a train expert but i think thailand trains need to be upgraded before we can build up to super level.How many hours from BKK to Chiang mai?

    BKK to CNX 1 hr. and 15 min. why would any one ride the train .

    I think any high speed train system will be about freight not about people. That's why it goes to Nong Khai.

  5. Does she have a job? Who is paying for the fuel? I realize it is a bit pedestrian to talk about costs but...

    I would say the most economic. Otherwise it is like buying a battery powered toy for the child of a poor family.

    Oh and younger generation may prefer a hatch not a sedan.

  6. So would I.

    Surf for <Tropical medicine clinic bangkok> you can get there by BTS and walk from Victory monument. The clinic and the department of tropic medicine are in the same complex so if you get referred to another doctor he/she will likely be close by.

    Repeat "prescription" can be filled for less money from Chula Pharmacy on Rama 4 between Surawong and the MRT station.

  7. We have had to cancel a regional conference next week as a result of this. Many were still prepared to travel but the travel advisories from HK and Singapore are so harsh (one wonders why...) nobody from there would come.

    Crying shame , we have spent 2 years convincing them to use Bangkok as a regional training centre and then this ! At present , we have another training planned here in a couple of months and I am fighting to keep that as planned for the time being. If that gets cancelled as well, then I think that will be Bangkok ruled out as a conference destination for my organization for a couple of years.

    I think a dark few months for tourism and MICE lays ahead...

    Curfew seems to have been relaxed to 12-4. Next week or later this week???

    I have not been effected one iota by the situation.

    This is not a central american republic that has been taken over by a couple of ambitious colonels.

    Travel warnings are business and risk assessment driven by the "risk averse" generation.

  8. Hoarding what a joke, why would anyone bother

    Thailand is not Africa

    The curfew may slow down deliveries from Bangkok but no one will starve or die of thirst

    or even come close to it

    Was just told curfew is now 12-4 !!
