I asked an older Italian guy about his 300 Super and he said I should buy a new PCX ! 

I also noted , when visiting the new Vespa shop in town , that parts/accessories were surprisingly expensive. Like a rubber floor mat at 1500 baht !

i gave up smoking - all night cramps , in fact all cramps,  have gone .

Clearly , no expense is being spared ! 555

Sounds like hes putting them down to me ... 555

Wow , I never thought anyone actually believed any of the Government pronouncements there ...

Believing any of it would so  set yourself up for disappointment.

Nobody seems surprised it was FREE ?

I am.

Never heard there was free ASQ facilities here.

So this puts pay to all the TV "experts" who have constantly asserted the Thai banking system is the same as  other countries banking systems .... they've all gone quiet I see.

Their biggest debt is in paying off superiors up the line ( Like  Chiefs ) to be accepted into the squad , equipped and trained and .......for that oh so lucrative posting.

I think she must be innocent.

After all , the Police arent pointing at her ....

Evenkneel , "I'm sure they've been groomed on what to say and expect from the generous gringos. Working won't be mandatory once they enter the system. "

You are sure based on what evidence?

You  are not going to use yourself as evidence of a  ".. generous gringo " , surely  ?

Now that would be lol material.

I missed that crowd, can you please provide a link, quote,  or any other material on that crowd that want to let them all in. 

Good job , IT IS TIME to start taking to detail , all the  false generalisers , all the sloganists , all those who would yell non-facts louder and see their  noise  as some sort of 'proof' that their inflammatory catch-cries have a  grain of truth. These liars are easily recognizable  by their words , "ALL you people ..." , "All those 'cheaters ' ! " etc ...

They are the CAPS LOCK brigade who need to understand theres  going to be a return to intelligent and sensible debate , whether they like it or not. And I urge all who wish to see a better world , to do as Sirineou  has , and interrupt the 'outraged generalizers ' and false prophets and demand details and  demand evidence . For far too long  now ,   noisy  soap box  fantasy  has been debated as if it is fact. 

Its become so prevalent that its even   lead to a percentage of the population incapable of seeing what is staring them directly  in the face!

Sorry ... the mad red hatted Tea Party is over !

Start sensible debate again , stop the name calling , and try to be believable ... if that doesnt suit you , then just go into exile with your roll model  ...555

( And I bet Sirineou wont get any  link either .)

If you have effective contact tracing as Thailand does, testing is not as critical compared to the vast majority of European and American countries where they've lost control and must test to try rein in their infection numbers.

Many on this forum have been saying there was all this Covid in Thailand not being reported. Then the ladies returned from Myanmar, followed by the outbreak in Samut Sakhom, which were both covered in detail and managed through the processes acknowledged by the WHO and John Hopkins Uni as being top notch.

So instead of banging away about lack of testing and drawing spurious conclusions, suggest people focus on why Thailand has done so much better than vast majority of countries. Hint: community discipline, especially with face masks, effective contact tracing, tight quarantine processes, the health volunteers, who more than compensate for lack of testing and the climate advantage come to mind. Compare these attributes with most countries. 

Don't understand why so many people don't get it. Covid is very well managed in Thailand, as recognised by international bodies, including Europe where Thailand is one of only five countries where people can enter without quarantine (others being Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Rwanda). See table in this link.. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexledsom/2021/01/17/january-eu-travel-restrictions-by-country-quarantine-and-tests-as-covid-19-third-wave-surges/?sh=5e86ca9e2ff3

Yes ! 

And when the authorities went out contract tracing after the young women returned from Myanmar  , why werent the authorities  confronted with thousands of Thai  people already infected independently , if there truly  were  all these cases everywhere  as some TV members assert ?

Where are they  hiding ??

Some guy on here recently said his whole villiage had had Covid 19   many months ago... of course he offered no evidence ...

I'd also like to be made aware  of evidence that , "Everyones Starving!!" as a result of lockdowns . 

Anyone with any 'proof' ?? 

To state the blindingly obvious ...

I really like Banglamphu , parts of it have a villiage feel , and I like being near the river. Thats where I'd look if I had to move to Bkk.

Not that I like golf  , but surely this is an activity that can easily accommodate the idea of social  distancing  .

Its outdoors , nobody is allowed crowd the hole , EVERYONE can stand back and  make space teeing off.

Close the Clubs bar ,  entry to Pro shop one at a time  and masked  etc, etc.

Its stuff like this that  distracts even the most sincere - like , "No Swimming in the Ocean" rules , last lockdown.

Common sense should be allowed to prevail a lot more at these times ...sigh...

I have had my 2.7 turbo diesel Colorado for 12 years , and have found it very reliable and providing a very smooth and well powered ride.

You are correct about the Service Centres , very poor service , and literally NO service here in Phuket when they closed down for 2 years. I needed a rubber 'boot' supplied and the new place  took 50% of its price in deposit , then told me they would call me in TWO MONTHS to say it arrived !

About 6 years ago the clutch was slipping and the new one was installed incorrectly  by Chev Phuket  ( cost 16k) and another shop (  Chev Krabi)  showed me the issue and had to install a new one ( 17k). They would NOT , however , supply me with a letter to show Chev Phuket , even tho only 800 kms had elapsed between  new clutches ..  Now 30k kms has past by , and I note the seal  Krabi  installed has a slow drip.

But all up , this has been an extremely reliable truck.

I would have happily recommended Chev to anyone , and thought the last ones a bargain , but imo parts  will be increasingly hard to  get , and unlike the older ones , not possibly  interchangeable with Isuzu ...

I guess a lot of people thought that , and thats why they had to sell them so cheap... a true "Run Out Sale".

Ditto. It was whispered to me 300b and I needed 2. 600b for a <deleted>ty piece of paper. Don't dare ask for a receipt!

I needed to do both a Car and Bike license at the same time...

The Transport Office girl said to just get ONE , "C of R"  and show it to her and then I could photocopy it to attach to  the 2nd license application...
