  1. They seem to have raised their prices. I just signed up today, and they charged me 1,500 baht for four reports.

    Sophon

    Sorry to hear that

    Perhaps Tywais will chime in with what he paid a week ago too.

    It was 1000 when I signed up. Don't know why they would up it that much.
    Yes it sounds odd to me
  2. You can appoint anybody to make a 90 day report for you,paid or otherwise.

    I just signed up with Assist Thai Visa to do it as I don't need the stress nor the uncertainty as to how much work I have to take off to get it done. I spent a fraction of the time getting there, parking and doing the paperwork as I would have at immigration. So thanks to those who suggested this service.

    How much do they charge?

    1000 baht per year

  3. The OP does not ride nor does he give a crap about riders.

    His way is just to decry bikes & bike riding because he deems it unsafe

    If you look at the first link in his OP you will see he basically

    walked into an obituary & started spouting off this sanctimonious BS

    http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/615216-crazyswede-died-in-a-motorcycle-accident/#entry6067834

    In the end the friends of the deceased in that thread asked that the thread be closed because he

    had sent the whole thing off in a weird direction when it was suppose to be a moment

    to say something about the deceased, RIP or wish him farewell.

    No it would be different if this posters intent was to say be careful but that is not his message at all.

  4. Just curious if anyone has been to the local gold shop today or yesterday to buy (or sell!) and can report on availability/liquidity during these wild price swings...

    I did see some shops are open but they have the last business days prices still up.

    Meaning the price before songkran started

    So I am sure they will sell to you at that 21k THB per baht or what ever it was

    But I also bet they will not buy your gold at the buy price listed smile.png

  5. If your replying to Yankees black commentThose pics I posted are the zx1400r's not the z1000's

    I know- I've got one on order in that color and should have it in May- I was just commenting on them.
    Ah I see,Interesting

    It sure looked black to me initially although I did not look from angles.

    May I ask,

    What attracted you to that model? Also

    What type of riding do you like to do?

  6. What are people realistically expecting with a pipe, fuel controller and air filter?

    Does the US version have more HP? if so, how?

    15-20% is a quite reasonable expectation.
    Will be nice if a pipe,filter & ECU can gain 20%/9.4 HP

    But I think that 20% off those mods may be hopeful these days.

    Cams, porting etc? yes possible to see the 10hp+ gains

    Pilm, there was a rumor originally that the US got a 54hp version rather than the 47hp

    but that was just a rumor it seems.

  7. So what do they do? They create an extra $85 Billion per month to counter their own fiat debt creation laugh.png

    Mania,

    that is one of the typical wrong assumptions/claims spread by gloom&doomers to BS ignorant the not so informed public. the FED neither prints nor creates actual cash. i admit that fictious billions are put down in some ledgers or rather in digital form to absorb U.S. sovereign debt in order to suppress interest rates. the learned gurus have agreed to disagree whether this is beneficial or not in the prevailing situation. the problem is that those who disagree can't come up with an alternative. all what they are able is presenting yada yada yakety-yak and the day of reckoning is looming around the corner.

    do they have a solution? no, they don't! dry.png

    Yes understood.

    I used the term "create" loosely to mean created as a ledger input/cross ledger cancellation etc.

    Yes no solution in sight

    But I do not see a USD collapse any time soon as there is no viable replacement.

    Not to mention for something to collapse it needs room to fall.

    There is so much worldwide crap under the USD it cannot even fall of its own free will. :)

    But they can devalue it till repayment of debt is managable

    So to morrowbay's question

    So why cant anyone stop this Bernanke ? He should be taken away and locked up for treason.

    It is because Bernanke's crime? is against the citizens who will be made to repay not the government who appointed & cheers him onward.
