Interesting new adventure style Lifan KPT-200 has appeared on the Lifan Thailand website.

It appears to be water cooled and fuel injected. That's new technology for Lifan.

The new Lifan 250 V-twin is now on the Thai Lifan website. 

I haven't tried this outfit, but the low promotional fee looks very attractive:

They say 150฿ fee to transfer up to 800,000฿ to 16 different countries including the USA, UK, and Australia.

Here is what the front of the new Mitsu looks like for those who have not yet seen one.

Air Asia does a BKK to Mukdahan trip that has you flying into Nakhon Phanom and then are bused to Mukdahan.

Yes, the Korean spammers are very active on the forum today. 

Here is a very thorough review of the Himalayan. Both off-road and on.

Villa Market Udon Thani has all three versions of Beer Lao.

I live in the neighborhood and 22 is not a bad road and does not have a whole lot of traffic.

It's mostly 4-lane. 

I have a Panasonic 18K inverter cooling a 56sqm room and it works just fine.

None of the walls of this room are exposed to direct sunlight, however.

The Google Maps trip plotting function does not seem to be working right now.

I live only about 10km from 212. I was just on it today going to Bueng Kan city.

On the map, 212 appears to follow the Mekhong River pretty closely, but in reality, you would only be able to see the river from only a few spots. The road is mostly in good condition and not much traffic.

How old is it, does it have a GM battery (AC Delco)..?

I've had it 15 months now. The truck has 18500km on it currently. It still has the Delco battery.

A Chevvy pickup is exciting in comparison? You are wanting style on a PICKUP? You are a very funny man.

I also used to drive a Vigo. It was the perfect appliance, but very boring to drive. I actually did not enjoy driving it at all.

Now I have a Chevrolet and I am very happy with it. It is actually fun to drive and it looks great!

 So, I could have kept the Toyota appliance and hate driving it, or I could buy a truck that I enjoy driving. My money, My choice.

There are plenty of Chevrolets on the roads up here in the far NE of Thailand.

Good luck finding that in Thailand. But here is a link to buy one in Italy on eBay>>>LINK

Have you had any issues with  the pick up at all? have you found the   automatic window dropping when opening closing sometimes doesn't?

Yes, that window thing has happened only a few times, but it goes away very soon after it happens.

I would disable that feature, if I knew how. 

That's really the only issue I've had.

This is what they put in my 2017 High Country Storm earlier this year at Chevrolet in Udorn Thani:

The tag they put on the steering wheel says to return in 9 months or after adding an additional 15000 km.

Checking the dipstick tells me that it is using no oil.

My truck currently has 18500 km on it. The computer says that my average fuel economy is about 13.5 km/liter.

Sorry hadnt  spotted your  reply so 15k then, now reduced to 10 for no reasons....wonder if theyve yet asked you to join there new "service program" this reduces intervals to 10000km

I've not received any information about that, but I've moved house twice since I bought the truck, so maybe they sent it, but I didn't get it.

Those considering the PCX over the NMax should be aware that the Thai PCX has no ABS.

The NMax does have ABS and costs less than the PCX.

The Aerox is certainly a very nice bike and I considered buying one.

But I looked at and sat on both NMax and Aerox, then I bought the NMax.

The NMax has way more legroom than the Aerox.

That was the only reason I picked NMax over Aerox.

OP, you should probably also go look at the new Click 150 that just came out.

Forza is way bigger than a Click.

BTW, there are 2 versions of the Forza 300 right now. Old and new. Which are you considering?

Yamaha NMax 155 would be a good compromise between the Click and the Forza.

It gives you a lot more room and power than the Click, but it's not as big as the Forza.
