Like Amazon, Lazada markets products from a large variety of merchants. It is certainly possible that some of those merchants are selling fakes, but my purchases from Lazada have all been 100% positive. You will find many negative comments about them on TV forums, but until they screw me, I will continue to be a customer.

I have done 2 orders with Lazada. Both time it was with free delivery both times they tried to charge 400B for delivery,

I refused and complained to Lazada.

I dont think this was Lazada fault but the delivery company in Korat.

They have lost me, I refuse to do business with them again.

Glory be - it's rainy season!

Yes & in a few weeks we will all be complaining about the floods..........Human nature I guess.

Just got a few spots in Korat city @ 7AM

I see pricks like this every day on the Thai roads,

Give them a car & they think that they are better than God, its all about me,me,me,me.

I had one yesterday in a black pick up & when I got along side at the traffic light my wife said "Its a woman " driving that car.

I have 3BB in Korat & its been dropping out on a regular basis for the last month before that no problems.

Its time we updated the 20th Century adage.... Lies, damn lies and statistics to the 21st Century.

Lies, damn lies, statistics and TAT.

Amazing Thailand

Yes Peter, the B/S just keeps flowing.

The sad thing is the Thai people believe it.

I used this company for many years, http://www.ozforex.com.au/

the money takes 4 to 5 days before it arrives into your BKK Bank account. They charge $15 to do the transfer and the exchange rate is locked in at the time

you start the exchange.

Then there is BahtSmart that I have used several times but their exchange rate is crap.

The time between when you start the transaction & when its put into your BKK bank account can change a lot

with the way the OZ $ is going at the moment. BahtSmart will give you the lowest rate and there is a discussion about it here

but we cant get a straight answer from BahtSmart about it, He just seems to be ducking & diving around the question

So I wont use them again until they get their sh!t together.

The SPIN factory is back at work again.

Flax seed improves your sex life. So Im told but I have never tried it.

Thank you very much for the information Faz.

This should help a lot of people understand the problems that Immigration are having.

Its only about a 8K drive for me to the Immigration office to do a 90 day report so If I cant do it online its no big deal

but some foreigners have to travel a long distance to do the report.

Many thanks Faz.

To think he is carrying a firearm.

Scares the SH!T out of me.

I had a brand new Isuzu from a big Isuzu dealers give me my (then) gleaming truck with 50+ in each tyre. When I found out I returned to ask why?

The answer I was given was " saves fuel because wheels run faster, <deleted>!!!!!!!!!!

And these idiots call themselves technicians, mechanic what ever. It just makes the mind boggle at times.

Are people being overly cynical?

I dont think so.

The members are trying to pass on their knowledge, its up to the OP

what he takes on board.

Why has this been moved to bikes forum? It very little to do with bikes and more to do with liability or girl/wife problems.

My thoughts also.

We have a moderator on here that is just like my previous wife, she was also moving furniture around the house,

With the wife I was told it was some kind of anxiety problem.

Ask the Lawyer, that's what he is here for.

Come on Johnniey, you started this topic "Any Input" ?

K.I.S.S.

Sorry Jessi I have a result in mind and then make a plan to achieve it. Often I have had to rethink the plan.

This is one of the great benefits besides being clean for me. The ability to adapt. Things are no longer carved in stone. I very often end up with plan C,D,E or farther down the line. Most often it is a better result than I originally planned. My most recent was a trip to Puckett. I had the finances figured and it turned out to be absolutely free to the Hyatt Resort.

Carl, I think you have quoted the wrong post or am I missing something ,,,,,,,,,Maybe I am getting bloody old.

Not as easy as it use to be, even more harder when selling anything brand name from Asia.

Paypal will be another headache who will see something wrong with logging in from different locations.

And finally, no way to beat Chinese sellers who will sell to break even.

Unless you can find something niche to sell, you will not make a living out of it

AS this member has said in the above quote.

I sold on ebay back in 02,03 & 04. It was much easier back then.

I made my money by finding dealers in The U.S. and Europe and wholesaling to them.

IMO & Just MO, the main ones making money from Ebay today,,, is Ebay & Paypal

Yes be very careful of Paypal, if they see a change in your ISP (Country) They will freeze your account,

It happened to a friend of mine, he had over US$30,000 in his account & he couldn't get at it for 6 months.

Good luck with your venture. Do your homework first.

RiP, Suicide is so sad.

What I find in Thailand and also the same in Cambodia is that the locals dont fix anything on cars or bikes until it breaks or falls off.

Where I come from road safety is a key issue. Not here but.

Like tyre pressure I got the guy at the tyre shop to check the pressure in my car, I had a wheel alignment done, when

I got home I check the pressure he had put between 40 & 50lb in, different pressure in each tyre,I usually I run the car on 30lb,

The adjustment of the pressure on the bike seems to have fixed a lot of problems but I would still like to see her get a good mechanic to check it all out.

Some members have asked about the weight I think its heavy, because she sells Ice Coffee & Tea plus coke, water etc also has a 60 L Ice container on the back. Here is a picture of it.

A big thank you to all the members that have helped.

sounds like the head race bearing are shot and need replacing, should be very cheap here. probably never been greased so completely knackered.

Thanks for this. This is the kind of info I was looking for.

She bought the bike new about 10 years ago, its done 57,000K so Im sure there are a few bits to be replaced.

Cheers

Couple of years ago a friend bought a brand new honda wave 125 i and right out of the shop took it to a place which builds and fits the side cars, I guess in a thai way they did the best they could, ie cut a large piece of the plastic away and weld a bracket onto the underbone and a couple of other places also welded brackets on to mount the sidecar, no provision for adjusting the alignment of the samlor wheel,

IMHO this ruined what was a new + good and usable bike,

I have ridden this contraption many times both alone and with passengers and dogs, on accelerating it tries to turn left, on braking it tries to turn right, the only way to counter these forces was to almost lock my arms but even then not only could i feel the frame and forks twisting but observe the front wheel twisting, i was never brave enough to try and get a glimpse of what was happening with the back wheel or swing arm,

The steering wobble would be described as a tank slapper if it had a tank to slap, he did take it back to the workshop who make and instal the samlors but they only confirmed my thoughts on how these things should be used,

Crawl away at a snails pace and try not to exceed 15kph, braking should be done very gradual but even at these speeds locking the arms is essential to avoid going left into the ditch or right into the oncoming traffic, eventually your lady friend will learn to use the throttle and brakes to turn rather than the handle bars but i,m afraid she,s stuck with the wobble on the bars, even a small pothole in the road can induce this.

Thank you very much, some very good advice there.

Cheers.

About two years ago I needed a cert so I could get my 5 year drivers license, they charged me 500B I told the officer that a year early it was only 300B and besides it is free, why charge.

She said if you want free come back next year. I didnt get a receipt for the 500B

This was at Mattaputt, near Rayong.

True, lostin Isaan. It makes one paws for thought.
