  1. Haven't tried this yet but thought good to share anyway.... https://ownersmanuals2.com/
  2. I realise I'm prob too late Dan but this place not far from me (Chong Phli near Ao Nang) just has to be the best choice. I know Jeff to be one of the most decent, honest & fair blokes out there. He's been going for many years already, has a v good reputation with around 50 rental bikes, all taxed/insured & fully serviced in great condition at very good prices...(I really don't think there are any better or cheaper). I know he also offers a delivery & pick-up service but not sure if that includes the bus station...Def worth a call tho. Cheers, Ray.
  3. This is from https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-10/what-we-know-about-covid-omicron-sub-variant-ba2/100899980 posted last Thursday 10th March..... The WHO released a statement calling it a "variant of concern", but Dr Wood said there was no need to be "overly concerned". Is BA.2 more transmissible? The World Health Organisation (WHO) says studies have shown the BA.2 variant appears to be more transmissible than BA.1. UNSW School of Population associate professor James Wood said the new sub-variant was about 25 per cent easier to catch than the original strain.
  4. Sorry to disagree but this whole point is so wrong as a clone is defined as an exact copy, which these scoots are definitely not..In fact even a quick glance at both shows many differences so my questions still stand.
  5. Hi all, I've owned a 150 PCX for around 9 yrs & although it's proved extremely reliable I have been a bit disappointed with a number of issues including poor quality. Have casually been looking into replacement 'contenders' (within my criteria) for some time which include Yamaha & the Honda adv 150 or 160 as I really like the look of them, but is it just me or are these scoots vastly overpriced & 'underspeced' ? One particular brand does stand out to me however in the looks & specification dep't, never heard of them before but I reckon I would seriously consider the Fekon FKM Venture 150 (as it ticks all the boxes & more) IF it was available here in Thailand...Any thoughts? I'd particularly be interested to hear from folk 'in the know' regarding build & component quality as I have zero experience in this field. Regards, Ray.
  6. One final point...Please know that I sincerely believe the Thai medical personnel involved did & are doing a great job indeed & am not criticizing them at all, but I do blame management for not doing their jobs properly, especially those 'responsible' for planning and communication.
  7. I've had both my Phizer jabs now and was dismayed (not surprised) that we were all 'herded like sheep' at Krabi hospital..(seemed to me they had lost the plot why it was necessary in the first place :-) ) Following the 2nd dose they told me 'can't print' so will send me my certificate by email...Never received :-) I checked my online app, no success...Then I received a message that I had an appointment in Phuket for the 1st jab (??). I did all the correct things & tried all the links etc. specified, especially the one where they say to contact if any details wrong (They had shaved a month off my birth date along the way :-)....Still nothing until a very kind lady (a Doctor or Nurse?) at Krabi hospital who speaks good English, helped by forwarding my Line messages to someone (?) after which I received my certificate as an attachment...Unsigned with missing details on it & still wrong birth date :-)....So I bit the bullet & went in person to the Ministry of Health office again (something I'd been dreading as the young chap that first took my original details never bothered with a face mask!). While there I applied for the yellow Inter'l certificate (50 bt) & was told they will call me to collect it in a week (can not do online :-) ) ...Nothing.... so I returned a few weeks later to collect. Lots more to this story but thats just a summary. I'm curious if any others out there had similar experiences? Regards, Ray.
  8. I've only just remembered this forum after reading (& having a good laugh) at the story of the Thai Health Minister being refused entry into Switzerland due to sinovac not being recognised. I'd forgotten my reply to Kanada (above) so while I'm here thought it a good time for a quick update....
  9. I have to agree with you Kanada, although I had to take my time typing as some of the wording was a bit 'ambiguous' plus I had the same issue as all the others when it came to adding the files...Easily overcome tho by holding the Ctrl button down to add them all at the same time (& yes, I included my visa page etc. just in case!)...I was then amazed as my phone beeped with the appointment even before I'd clicked the last 'confirm' button ????
  10. Hi all, I usually don't like replying on forums 'cos of all the negativity & 'dick head replies' but I felt this deserved just a quick comment to report my experience on this subject in the hope it helps others. The website worked perfectly for me, well designed imo, very clear & easy to enter your details & resulted with a 'Registration Successful' email immediately. My only (small) criticisms are that it wouldn't recognise my email address at first but did after the 3rd attempt (?) plus it wouldn't let me upload more than one passport photo at first but thats easily overcome by holding the 'shift' key when selecting them on your pc. Good luck everyone. Regards, Ray.
