You could go there and hand out pamphlets....................................????

Eeeeeeer, I was referring to my jigging around exploits in the sixties........???? But, there is no way I would venture into one of those places, I will leave that to the ageing Goaty ................????

As you frequent those places on a regular basis, I would expect you to have knowledge of the seedy areas etc, but Pattaya is more than your sex life... Been to Pats once or twice, can't remember, for a Burger King fix on my way to Sattahip....

Riiiiiiight, of course you do............... I remember a while back a "new" bloke, like you, said more or less the same thing, so I did the maths, it turned out, he posted waaaay more than me per DAY..............???? So I will not embarrass you, just in case you are buried, again..........????

Not sure if they get involved with veg, but you could try.........

No, get your visa in Laos then go back into Thailand, they will stamp the date you must leave Thailand, which will be in 90 days time.... Applying for any Thai visa in Laos requires a night stay to pick up your PP. To do a border run/hop, when your 90 days is up, it's in and out, about an hour depending on queues.....????

Stay indoors chap, do not take up motor racing on 2 or 4 wheels........????

Dunno, but I am a million miles from BKK, we now have red crossings all over the place, though I do see cars parked on them, the lack of BiB thing, again...????

It has one button, if you press it when the bike is locked the anti theft thing bleeps, something like that, but never use it, nobody can drive it away, it is controlled by the fob...... Which reminds me, I should test/replace the fob battery....

We don't use the fob, as long as you are within a metre of the bike with the fob in your pocket, you can do what you like with the bike, but you must be sure you turn the dash switch to off so everything shuts down. Soon get used to it, better than the key thing....????

Was thinking of the lady doctor that was killed on a crossing, next thing painted crossings all over the country, big fines too for naughty drivers ignoring them. Now if this dead Arab is one with a rich family types, then who knows...????

A_____e.....................????

It also seems because the bike is Hybrid, the electric bit is intertwined with the engine...

Is this going to be the kick up the 'arris the BiB needed......

R.I.P. Sir, thanks for the numerous chuckles.....

It was me, purely because I can't understand why folk who are on the fiddle broadcast it on an open forum. You may think forums are anonymous, but I wouldn't be so sure......

We have a keyless bike, Yamaha Grand Filano hybrid ABS. You just keep the fob in your pocket, belt, handbag...???? Not long after we bought the bike the battery went totally dead, it seems Mrs. T didn't turn the dash nob to off... Took the battery out and went to Yamaha dealer, they tested the battery and said 1200bht for a new one, battery isn't guaranteed, so we walked out, took it to get it charged, they said it's dead, but we don't sell those. Went to a bike shop and bought a no name brand battery for 500bht. Up and running again. I bought one of those battery chargers that do stuff to liven up batteries, but it needs a minimum of 7 volts, We had 2 volts. Took the battery off the car, linked the poles from it to the dead battery, gave it an hour, think the dead battery showed 10 volts, something like that, then connected it to the charger to do its thing. The dead battery ended up fully charged and is still fine in the bike 2.5 years later. Seems these folk don't know or want to know how to revive a dead battery, The 500bht battery is back in its box, for 2.5 years, every few months I charge it up, a good spare..................

Eeeeeeeeeeeer, you have posted the number of likes we have............???? But other than that, I joined the forum nearly 17 years back, you can do the maths.......

Well, yes, in London, but a different type of music to today's, eeer, noise.........???? Not now, bit old for that sort of stuff..........????

Had a click 125, didn't like it, Airblade, nice, PCX, sort of OK, my back didn't like it, then a Grand Filano 125, which was OK, but my back didn't like that. We now have a Yamaha Grand Filano Hybrid ABS.. It is the best of the lot, quiet more comfortable seat and fatter tyres than the old Filano... It also takes off at the stop light drags..... PS, My Honda mower is 160cc.....????

I doubt families that live in the area frequent the places that you may. There is more to the place than your and Goaty's hangouts.????

Well no, I have never been in one of those places, but for sure you really do get around, and are incredibly observant......

Oh, you've done the rounds there then............

You're still in the U.S.A. then.....................

Though your OP is a bit confusing, I see where you are coming from. Yes, I have had some daft issues at DIY stores, but I think that is lack of training, and lack of staff thinking outside their box. Even if you learned perfect Thai, you would still have a ploblem......????
