    Keeway Rkv 200 - Any Good?

    in Motorcycles in Thailand

    Posted

    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 smile.png

    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!

    Thai University

    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)

    60 Day Extension Based On Marriage

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    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

    Hi all,

    I've got a job in a government university and have been sent an invention letter plus a letter (in thai) to my local consulate requesting a visa. They also send a link to a website stating I require a police check http://thaiembassyuk....uk/?q=node/52. I have been working in UK universities where you don't require CRB checks and individuals can not apply for them as you work with over 18's. The basic police check takes 40 days and we (me and my fiancé) fly out on the 16th Jan.

    My question is with the invention letter and visa request letter (on government paper) be enough to gain a visa (non-imm B )? or will I need a police check ( a basic one can be obtained in 10 days)
