    I went to Chevrolet this afternoon, they order the second key in Bangkok, also the owner booklet, if i understood well they are waiting for the car history too? The GPS and every thing on the screen they cannot put in English because of the unknown password. They will do after I'm not sure why from Bangkok :-)

    Were you ever able to change your GPS to English?

    I have a Colorado that only shows Thai on the GPS map, but everything else is already in English.

    I can find no settings to change the map to English.

    It's the factory installed sat/nav system called Chevrolet MyLink.

    What is the "Coolest" Bike Made in Thailand?

    in Motorcycles in Thailand

    Posted · Edited by Issanman

    ^^^  I bought a new KZ1300 in Florida for $3995 in 1980.  Later I paid another $400 for the matching fairing.

    It was absolutely a very big water buffalo! I did blast away from a CBX1000 on it one time.

    Both bikes were very rare back then.

    Here I am in Florida in 1982:

    Honda PCX v Yamaha N Max

    in Motorcycles in Thailand

    Posted

    I went to the local Yamaha shop to see about NMax yesterday.  Was told that there is a promotion going on right now. 72K baht out the door price. So I went ahead and ordered one, as there are none in stock in this area. In fact, I have never even seen an NMax in this far NE part of Thailand where I live. But the price was too good to pass up, and I have been thinking about buying an NMax since they first came out. They said it will take a week or two to get the bike. I will post again later as to whether the price of 72K holds true.

    I ordered the grey color.

    Tesla in Thailand

    in Thailand Motor Discussion

    Posted

    I drove a Tesla Model X for 5 days last week in Florida and it is an amazing car. The one I drove was a P100D. A 76 year old lady friend loaned it to me. Less than 2 months old. I have never driven anything that is as quick as that car. Not even close. I now believe that electric-powered cars will be in everyones future. I certainly did not think so before driving it. Is it worth the price? (About $150K US) I don't know. But I am very impressed.

    Harley-Davidson building factory in Thailand

    in Motorcycles in Thailand

    Posted · Edited by Issanman

    "Harley-Davidson is building a new plant in Thailand, reflecting the industry’s push for global sales growth.The iconic American motorcycle maker was part of President Donald Trump’s focus on U.S. manufacturing in the early days of his administration. Executives visited the White House in February to meet with Trump, who thanked Harley-Davidson “for building things in America.” But even Harley-Davidson had a manufacturing footprint overseas, and the Milwaukee-based company says the facility in Thailand will improve its ability to serve markets where demand is on the rise."

    The latest report is that Peter's Pitstop and Steve's place are both closed for now. 

    I am still in Florida for a few more weeks so I am unable to positively verify this information.

    Anyone local to BKL area that can verify these closures?
