You can contact your local GP in the UK and have the Thai vaccine added to your NHS app / record. Then you should have the full equivalent to the UK certificate

Best is to make a provisional patent first. Couple of years ago it was $100 at the USPTO site. A foolproof patent is a heckuva lot harder to write and you'll probably need help of patent lawyers, figure $5000 at least.

 

Recommended is to go with the provisional first, which gives you protection for a year, and then decide if to go full monty.

 

If I remember a patent in any one of the signatory countries (of the international patent org) is valid in all of them. But I have no idea how to apply for one in Thailand and I bet docs will be in Thai.

Once you apply for a patent you have 12 months to submit a PCT which gives 30 months to apply in each country you want the patent to be valid.  

A patent is only valid in the countries you then apply fully to.  

Our uni is already on this schedule... no sure how working through the hottest part of the year will work out, but will find our very soon

the 11 is awful I'd say 50 times worse than 117 which i use regularly, pretty much any road that runs through Phichit is terrible, wonder where all there road money goes.....

I check the green book for my Rkv200 and it is registered exactly the same as yours.

yes i have a keeway and now have done 9000 km.

it is a comfortable bike as it is heavy enough to sit on the road ,i cruise at between 90 and 100 km hr. and the motor perfornms well and gives me about 30 k per litre fuel.

It is cheap and i have thrown a few things away.....the day i brought it home the left hand indicator fell off and had to be glued back in position.the exhaust guard also came loose soon after and after failed attempts to replace screws it was also dicarded.

the carby cover likewise was an annoying source of a tinkling rattle so that is now on the scrap heap with the other bits.

The big problem and one for concern was the chain size and quality.it stretched continually and finally on a long trip came off and nearly flipped me.

I have replaced it with the best quality i could find and now all is good.

the only other problem is an annoying tinkle tinkle in low speed but i think it is the chain rattling on the chain cover guard....brakes are not great but i am used to them and they were good enough to help me miss the last truck that tried to kill me.

I had the seat modified for 5000 bht and i got a rack made for the back with a rest on it to make my darling more comfortable all up 120000 bht.

oh yes when it rains the indicator will not turn off so i will get a new switch and rewire that and the drm brake on the back gets wet and grabs at first so be careful...i will repair that also

All up it s ok for the money as the main parts seem to work ...the motor is good and i hope will keep going .I have thought about working the engine over to get a bit more out of it but then i think well...if it aint broke ,dont fix it.

Happy trails

That isn't a RKV200......

Enjoy

Imo it doesnt matter were the bike is produced. Its a chinese bike, thats no secret. And as you get what you pay for, you may have some small problems with a cheap bike. But all owner reports are more or less positive for the RKV200. So if you like these style of "naked" simple air cooled bike and dont need speeds above 100-110kmh than why not? I had a test drive at a dealer in Bangkok. I would have bought it if it had a bit more power. I need a speed of 120kmh. But i still like the RKV. There are not many options for this type of bike in Thailand. Mabe the new naked Kawasaki 250cc. But for nearly 3 times more money. And i like the simple RKV styling more. Imo air cooled is a plus

Spot on if could do 120-130 kph would be ideal, if we knew which engine was copied, maybe a larger carburetor could achieve this?

I have one of these and can only fault it's low top speed, which is no problem when mostly riding around town as it has fairly good torque.

I think it's an ideal learners bike for which it is designed to be. If I was an experienced rider would I buy one? I doubt it but as my first real bike in Thailand it has been good.

6 months and no faults what so ever - just need to find the time to ride it more!

Would have loved to have brought this with me but doubt it would like the pot holes much!

I think Rhys post is fairly spot on, I have worked in a thai university for 10 months now, in two different faculties and they are worlds apart. One is run very well, with 100% of Ph.D qualified lecturers, most who have studied abroad either in the UK or USA. (although some sadly have not learned all they could have) and the other had zero direction too many under qualified staff who are just teaching one class per semester. So it seems to be pretty hit or miss.

I think mah fah luang university teaches subjects in english, it also has a very nice campus (i do not teach there but know someone who does)

Thanks lopburi

whats the under review period thing? I have never heard about this before?

I'll post this here as, there is some similar information.

My work permit expires at the end of this month 30th Sept and also my visa does of course. They are sorting a new contract but I am worried this will not be done in time as not much is here and it doesn't help that 30th is a sunday. I am married to a Thai national and am thinking that maybe a extension based on marriage maybe better.

so can anyone tell me the process for this? and the requirements?

Or shall I just get a 60 day extension and then when the WP is in place get the extension based on that. Sorry for all the questions as this is my first full renew, I came in on a non-imm B single entry if that helps

yes they do, think its about 75 baht for each case

I've never had a set of tires last more than 20,000km in UK or anywhere, as I'd rather they actually grip the road, than last forever with zero grip, each to their own though.

TT closer to the edge is a good watch
