Anything that makes you think if will relaxe you, will relaxe you! Many of those researches lays in the expected and wanted results. What you think will have a impact on you and the chemicals you produce in your brain. 

 

A more relaxed lifestyle is maybe a better solution, than having a drink or two be it in the morning or evening ???? If you are stressed out of course. If not stressed out, a drink or two might be healthy every day, just depending on the person. 

Agree when younger on holiday I'd drunk in the morning if I wanted to.

Now retired I drink on a late afternoon after lunch.

Live to be happy when ya numbers up it's up.

Science, bro

Not in moderation it has been recently been said that small amounts of alcohol can reduce the risk of heart disease.

For the first time, researchers found that alcohol, in light to moderate quantities, was associated with long-term reductions in stress signaling in the brain. This impact appeared to significantly account for the reductions in heart disease risk seen in light to moderate drinkers participating in the study.Jun 12,2566

This is sounding like a brit bash thread. let's look at the difference in Education standards between the UK/Thailand. Most kids in the UK start Schooling at 5 and up until there 18 if they go to College all free. Thailand not sure what they start teaching but at 11-12 kids are expected to pay for their Education needs i believe books, Writing implements if there lucky their parents have money to put their kids into higher Education along with their English Educated Teachers. Most kids at 12 outside of the big cities are removed from School at around 12 and end up in low-pay work, or end up working in the Tourism sector including Bars. On a par or better than the UK mm don't think so. Thailand doesn't even have a leader voted in by the Thais.

Have to repectfully disagree.

The Brits need to be bashed there's a majority bunch of contrary individuals in uk who say help me I can't help myself.

My Thai son had no difficulty with school in Thailand because he wanted to learn as with all over the world some kids don't want to learn.

Thai kids learn early and go through a school age system and can go to college and the expense is not that expensive.

Even going university is one hell of a lot cheaper that UK uni.

IMO the referendum is unconstitutional and thus illegal , since it was held by an illegally elected   goverment.At Least I think military  coups are illegal in Thailand as they are in most countries in the world. 

BUT TIT

Did you prefer the Red shirts and Yellow shirt fighting one and other and road barricades.

That has not been my observation. 

 

As for democracy , hard to say if it would work in todays Thailand because clearly it is unlikely to ever again get a chance. Nobody is deluded enough to think democracy is perfect but it has the redeaming feature that if a government is performing poorly it can be voted out of office without the need of bloodshed or locking people of differing rules in prison.

Yeah I have just judged my opinion on what's happen in our village and when out riding on bike outings where roads have been surfaced.

I guess things will change eventually the way Thailand is governed as different generations evolve.

Yes, you're right... that should be the case, but I'm having trouble communicating what I want out here in the sticks, and there are so many of these private service places that are very very shabby and run down, and look as if they don't even have the tools to do the job, let alone the skill, knowledge and ability to locate and access parts.

I'll do some serious looking around whilst in Pattaya - a lot more chance of at least some car-related English spoken/understood there.

Thanks for your input.

Well try a Cockpit we are lucky we have a good one in Sukhothai and if there is something they cannot do or want to do they point you in the right direction.

Disagree. Thai cities are IMO all lookalike concrete jungles with no character.

Thai countryside if great though, but the further from tourists the better.

Only thing I liked about Bkk was Nana.

Where I live our village is a tourist place and nothing like a concrete jungle with all the electric wires and internet cables in ugly sight, in fact the start of a jungle is only 4 kilos away.

What's the the problem sent him to USA care of White House.

Thanks - will give that a try.

Don't know about down South but there must be many private car service places that fix and service all makes of cars/trucks, in Sukhothai there are such places it's just a case of asking around.

No problem with Toyota lumps whatever it is.

Most are same same, concrete slums, buildings, streets, walkways, not well maintained, though acceptable, as it is what it is, 3rd world ... but, congestion & no parking, with little variety is what really turns me off.

 

Krung Thep wins for variety & public trans.

Yeah OK I guess the thing is I'm just not city guy.

I can tolerate CM for 2 nights but that's my limit. ????

Yea but would worry me if the official RE dealer used some cheap aftermarket cylinder instead of the OEM part. Unless discussed prior with the OP of course.

Aftermarket OK a rear brake cylinder is not rocket science.

Glad I provided you with a giggle (something I never managed whenever the front wheel was lost....)

 

If you ride slow and just cruise okay if not get some professional riders lesson they are available in Thailand.

Hate Thai cities, except Krung Thep, but love the countryside.

That's a strange statement.

Glad it's resolved but the explanation is pretty unclear. Rust where? What is "major kit rear M/C'? At that price I'm not sure what it could be... cheap brake pad maybe? Some part of the rear brake cylinder?

Aftermarket rear brake cylinder Thailand round about 200 plus baht a Royal Enfield part maybe a couple of thousand.
