I bought a couple of then in the market in Nakhon Pranom.

I guess that any IndoChine market along the Mekhong will have them

From reading more sites it would appear that the trailer must be registered.

You might get one tailor made for you here

Found this on another site.

I cannot vouch for the accuracy.

Quote:

Yes, car trailers are legal in Thailand. However, you will have to submit your registration application in person at the Provincial Transportation Office, where you will be interviewed by a Vehicle Inspection Officer about the trailer’s intended purpose, length, width, weight and fittings. Please note that if you are unable to speak Thai, you should bring an interpreter with you.

If the trailer has not yet been built, then the design for it must be submitted to the PTO, which will forward it to the Department of Transportation in Bangkok for approval. This takes about one month. The trailer must be designed by a mechanical engineer holding a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. Once approved, the trailer can be made.

Brilliant suggestion there Kayo. Thank you

No experience but I did consider trying it as the start up costs are quite low.

You need to build a shed out of bamboo and grass (yaakar)

You can buy the pouches of spores and then just lay them out on racks and keep the whole place as humid as possible.

Timing is important as market prices vary between 10-50 baht.

You won't make money when the mushrooms are freely growing in the forest arond Aug-Sept.

So are we supposed to read the forum rules everyday in case there has been an amendment ?

Could you ask them to be more precise.

I cannot find the improper/obscene bits

Just out of interest, how did you choose your nick ?

Does anyone want to see me do my 'whining rascal' instead of my 'cynical old git'?

I too would be interested to hear what you were doing there.

I have sat down and had long talks with Oz vets (in UK) and learnt about Nam but never met a Brit that was out there .

Come on 'cough up'

No Problem.

I have been victim to house breaking twice so I know how upsetting it is. Your whole world and privacy seem to have been violated.

I didn't think your reply was rude anyway just a little abrupt

Is there a highway code printed in LOS ?

I have copied this from the Cardiff Consulate website.

One or two suprises in it.

1. Max speed limit is 80 kph. Is that correct?

I thought is was 110 kph

13. You MUST give a warning when overtaking

15. Sorry but I can't stop myself laughing at this one.

Blow your horn particulaly at deaf people.

Are these rules actually written into the law ?

IS DRIVING EASY & WHAT ARE THE RULES OF THE ROAD?

As precautionary measures to prevent and avoid road accidents, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) urges all road users to strictly observe the following traffic regulations and guidelines.

1. Before putting a vehicle into motion always check the following: driver’s license, yearly vehicle tax payments sticker, yearly vehicle insurance payment sticker, license plate and vehicle condition such as wheel brake, emergency brake, headlights, tail lights etc.

- The maximum speed limit for cars inside a city limit is 60km/hr and 80km/hr for outside a city limit.

- The maximum speed limit for motorcycles inside a city limit is 60km/hr and 80km/hr for outside a city limit.

- The driver should pay special attention to highway signs posted on the left-hand side of the road for specified speed limits.

2. Always drive on the left side of the road. When there are two or more lanes for traffic in the same direction, slower vehicles must use the leftmost lane except when passing or making a right turn.

3. Always slow down to a safe and reasonable speed when driving on a narrow road or when approaching curves, intersections, business or residential areas, road construction zone and oncoming vehicles.

4. Never pass any vehicle when driving through residential areas, intersections, curves, or over a bridge. Always pass other vehicles on the right.

Never pass other vehicles on the left except when the leading vehicle is making a right turn or when there are two or more lanes for traffic in the same direction.

5. When driving at night, always turn on headlights and tail lights.

6. Broken down or parked vehicles must be parked on the side of the road or the shoulder of the road. A warning sign that can be seen over an appropriate distance must be displayed. At night-time emergency red lights must be used to provide warning.

7.Give the right of way signal to vehicles coming from main roads.

8. Strictly obey traffic lights and posted traffic signs.

9. Never control a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or intoxicating liquor; or while being sick or dizzy.

10. Always take safety precautions while in control of a vehicle.

11. Always allow a safe distance while following a vehicle.

12. Slow down to a reasonable speed and do not sound the horn if it is not necessary while passing through the following zones: school, hospital or public agency.

13. Always give a headlight signal or sound the horn and make sure there are no obstructions or oncoming vehicles before passing the leading vehicle.

14. When a driver is involved in an accident that causes injuries or property damages, always provide assistance wherever necessary. Immediately notify the nearest police station and identify yourself as well. The driver who fails to stop at the scene of the accident for which he is responsible would be considered guilty and might be sentenced to imprisonment.

15. Sound the horn and slow down the vehicle when approaching a stopped vehicle that is letting passengers get on or off and give warning particularly to deaf and blind persons.

16. Safety rules for pedestrians

- Always use sidewalks or road shoulders if there are any; if not, always walk on the right side of the road to be able to see oncoming vehicles.

- Always cross the road only when it is absolutely safe to do so, especially in Bangkok. Please watch out for bus lanes as buses sometimes run against the traffic flow.

- When crossing the road at night-time always do so at a lighted area or use a flashlight for identification purposes.

- Always obey traffic lights, i.e. cross the road only when the red traffic light is on for the approaching vehicles, and make sure that the vehicles have come to a complete stop.

17. Safety rules for bus passengers

- Always wait for a bus or a vehicle on the sidewalk, the road shoulder, or at bus stops.

- Before getting on a bus or a vehicle, wait until it has stopped completely and other passengers who want to get off have done so.

- Always take a seat when it is available; if not stay inside the bus or the vehicle. Do not stand on the doorsteps.

- Never get on or get off the bus or the vehicle while it is moving, waiting for traffic lights or while it is in the middle of the road.

- For private or public vehicles, the passengers should always get on or get off the vehicles where it is not prohibited. Always stop the vehicles at the sidewalks and get on or get off on the left side of the vehicle.

Agreed, it is a load of <deleted>.

I keep on seeing those Turbinator devices being sold here that fit on the induction manifold.

They are also a load of <deleted>.

There are several ways to improve your mileage on a diesel.

Drive slowly (80kph)

Incredible co-incidence Limbo.

I know a family in Phrae that owns a 1947 Fiat Topolino and an early 1950s MG sportscar.

Last time I spoke to the owner she was thinking of selling the Fiat but I thought her value of 300k was a bit steep.

Looks like Lampy to me,
