No you won't until you've commit to a relationship with a Thai lady and her family.
I understand perfectly well, get it wrong sometimes but that's down to me.
I use to go in a high St bank and get £ - baht via debit card it was 220 charge at ATM and 180 in bank but still paid UK bank charges.
I use Wise now best you get a Thai bank account.
I give my Mrs the money Bill and she pays all the bills on her phone including PEA electric bill.
I order stuff on line and give her phone number so they can find where we live.
I think Putin will hold the grain in Ukraine to hold the world to ransom to make them lift sanctions.
There will be a link about what Russia proposd at sometime.
A Cockpit outlet or a B. Quik outlets treat everyone the same, as for other roadside tyre and service shops your concerns maybe valid that's why I don't use them.
Go to a Cockpit outlet or B. Quik for a oil service and tyres, it will be a reasonable all in cost.
The cost could increase on the choice of tyre you want if you don't go for the cheapest tyres they do.
If your friend gets a proof of life form sent to his Thailand address it comes with a DWP(IPC) envelope with the address on it.
So I have no idea why he asked you.
The one in pix is Rhys new bike who I replied to.
My buddies 500X that his selling is the same but black and his bike doesn't have around the world cases stuff and never toured carrying pilion.
He comes back from UK September / October this year and has a verbal placed order with Triumph in Phitsanulok for a Triumph Tiger 660 sport in a grey colour.
I won't have to wait as long for him to catch me up in future I hope. ????????????
