lol, I love it when Thai's pick up on the wrong word then use it enthusiastically.

I used to compete in gymkhana's regularly when I was young and only ever saw horses (or people who looked like horses).

I entered a few motorcycle gymkhanas in Japan in the late 60s and early 70s.

Our local Tesco Express has 2-packs of Chang Classic for 95 baht. Large bottles. I also prefer Chang over Leo.

55 baht here in the far NE.

If still in the UK, you should get another O-A visa. You can get nearly two years out of it if you time it right, and will only have to do a border run one time during that two year period before needing an extension of stay.

I have an O-A visa that I got back in February 2013 and I am still here on that same visa. You can get nearly two years out of it if you time it right. I have never yet applied for an extension of stay. I will have to apply for my extension in January 2015 when my visa finally runs out. My O-A visa was issued by the Thai embassy in Washington DC. It only took one week by express mail to DC and back to Florida including processing time. I did have to leave Thailand one time and come back in to renew the same visa for one more year. Otherwise, I have only had to do my 90 day reports.

I am glad they have updated the information page linked to in the above post by JDGRUEN. It was slightly confusing before. Much clearer now.

I like the regular Beer Lao, but I can't stand the dark Beer Lao. Usually I prefer the dark beers when there is a choice.

No all of that just because I research and prepare myself and don't have to come on an internet site to ask people if it's a scam or not? Don't want to sit on the side of the road or go to a police station and educate a stupid cop about the Geneva convention, my time is worth more then that.

Fine, your choice.

But saying an IDP is required is simply not true.

I don't know who is right or wrong, but I do know that when I went to get my first Thai DL a few days ago in Beung Kan, they specifically asked me for my IDP. I happened to have left it out in my truck so he waited while I went out to get it. They had already seen that I have an unexpired Florida DL but also asked to see my IDP. I did not ask them what would have happened if I didn't have one.

With IDP no written or practical test required, without IDP testing is required.

BTW, getting a Thai license on the bases of home license, with or without IDP, has no bearing on the lagality of driving with or without IDP.

Many discussions here already on the IDP, in the end it is clear IDP is not required, but some people always feel the need to sprout their incorrect knowledge.

Plenty of roadblocks in this part of Thailand. The police usually ask me for a DL, but have NEVER asked to see an IDP. I used to hand the IDP to them with my Florida DL, but they have never even looked at the IDP whenever I did. They only looked at the Florida DL.

These guys are selling new imported muscle cars, including Camaros, Corvettes, and Challengers, among others.

I was looking for a topbox for my Keeway TXM200 and happened to see a Yamaha brochure that showed a topbox accessory for the Filano scooter. So I went to the shop that sells the Yamaha Filano and asked about the topbox. They had them in stock and they installed it for me. It bolted to the rack on the Keeway very nicely. It turned out to be a Shad topbox and it is very nice. I think it is 28 liters. I forget the price but I am very happy with it. If looking for a topbox, you may want to check it out.

Thanks for the great review!

Then Came Bronson was a series in the US. Late 60's or early 70's, I think. The guy rode around on a Sportster that somehow seemed to magically turn into a dirt bike when he went off-road.

I have only ever bought small bikes in Thailand so in my cases, first-class insurance was never mentioned or considered. Thanks for the correction.

In my experience, the bike price has always included everything. Even the first years insurance and at least one junk helmet. Last time they gave me two junk helmets.

But I have never bought a bike over 150cc in Thailand.

I got the new brochure and they only show the black mag wheel version coming in white or black.

The new Wave 125i with black mag wheels are in the showrooms now. At least up here in the far NE they are.

Hello Jaideeguy. I have used Dell laptops for years and never had a problem. My current Dell laptop is the XPS14Z w/8gb RAM. Very nice.

Windows 7 is fantastic, however, all the new computers only seem to offer Windows 8 now. I haven't heard of anyone being thrilled about Windows 8.

Maybe you could downgrade to 7 after you find the computer you like. I may be able to help you do that part if you end up with a Dell. I'm no guru, but I do know my way around Dells.

I hope to be visiting your area soon:)

Dr-bikebangkok has them on their website for B465,000.

Whether or not they actually have them available in stock or to order, who knows?

Think it was Indonesia but will check......how many people over there..?

The population of Thailand is about 67 million.

The population of Indonesia is about 247 million.

Toyota may be able to sell a few more cars over there than here.

No. Silverado.

Get it while you can.

WarpSpeed, as of Jan 1 2010, Florida is requiring ID in the form of a birth certificate or passport, proof of Social Security number, and two proofs of residential address. It's not as simple as it once was.

According to another Thai news organisation (The Nation), the Election Commission has now given permission to the Finance Ministry to extend the diesel tax exemption at least until the end of January.
