Spoonman

What I'm looking into doing is a home brew (DIY) Quadcopter. Ever since I saw the first aerial videos from one by a member of Thaivisa have been wanting one.

They are awesome and as I do like playing with RC stuff I reckon one of them is on the to do list as well.

Spoonman, that is the nicest Yamaha I have seen!

What have you done to it?

Thanks !!

Few more pics here, from when I first purchased it until now.

1/5th.

The lack of frame number will be a problem and that will be the least of the issues because technically you can no longer register a bike built from parts...... there is ways around this but illegal stuff cannot be discussed on TV.

Easiest would be to buy a Ducati that is already registered and mod it.

Yep If they don't sell, the tickets are theirs. Worked out well for this couple who won 42 million, sadly they were killed not long after.

according to the choice's given it would seem Iam a Proper Pat, missed out on the sky high salary and enviable lifestyle though.

They are not closed but are extremely busy.

A work colleague is getting a passport for his new born today, he went in there early last week and was given a queue number and told to come back today.

They process 150 people per day, his queue number is 51.

Can any one give me current advice as to where my wife can "renew" her passport in Khon Kaen. Have looked at other posts but all seem to be rather old

Meh it was Bt.1200 when I last shipped a scooter..... eitherway it answers the OP's question does it not ?

Meh?

When did you last ship?

bout 18 months ago. Pattaya to Kamphaengphet.

You are aware that that distance is, I would think, less than half the distance from Krabi

to Chiang Mai?

I don't really care to be honest.

Ummmm NRMA is not the sole distributor of IDP's in Australia, you mention QLD so why not go to RACQ ?

Easy that would be Christmas break when I was 7 as mum got a new job starting in the new year so I had to drive me and my sis to the bus stop tho catch the school bus into town.

bout Bt.1200 through the post office.

A corrola is an altis in thailand

No it isn't. The Toyota Corolla is the Corolla; the Corolla Altis is a higher specification version of the Corolla.

So A corolla is a Corolla but a Corolla Altis is not a Corolla but instead a high spec Corolla............... allrighty then.

> I do not know where "here" is for you but in Thailand the Yaris is called a Yaris and the Vios a Vios.

Wikipedia says they're the same, but oracles have been known to be wrong.

Must be why Toyota Thailand list them as 2 different vehicles then.

> pickups win by a massive margin.

Yes, this comes through strongly on the Inet. Govt incentives undoubtedly play a part, as also would the large agrarian population.

> Toyota Vios

Called the Yaris here.

> The Toyota Hilux actually, closely followed by the Isuzu pickup with all it's various names.

I know the Hilux, but have never been able to distinguish most small modern cars - they blend into a beige blur in my mind.

So it's four cylinder engines, then - petrol, I'd guess, with an increasing number of diesels?

I do not know where "here" is for you but in Thailand the Yaris is called a Yaris and the Vios a Vios.

The Vigo is the best selling vehicle in Thailand.

My STRONG advice is to DO IT YOURSELF. Better to take a long time and learn from the Internet and get it right than to have it all fuc_ked up. I have heard of nightmare after nightmare from letting a Thai work on electrical -- especially with a nice bike like yours.

Let me ask you some questions. Do you want all your wire ends with proper terminals for plugging into accessories and all splices soldered and shrink tubed -- water and vibration proofed? Or, do you want connections twisted together and taped with black tape? The latter can come loose with vibrations. Can also have the wire ends oxidize and corrode - to say nothing of the dissimilar metals problem of which Thais have never heard. And none of it waterproof.

Do you want somebody cutting into your factory wiring harness to splice wires, or do you want your accessories properly connected with terminals. Do you want trouble free riding, or do you want to break down somewhere with an electrical problem when you are caught out in the rain, only to spend 14 hours troubleshooting it?

It's all up to you. But if you do not do it yourself, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN. You've been warned.

Where does one buy proper terminals from in Pattaya ?

even funnier is it would take them 5 weeks to deliver the dog.

 

Long motor is 80k.

 

OK not too bad, but still not nice to have to pay for it yourself.

actually just checked my invoices. 80k was for the short motor and all associated gaskets and bolts needed to assemble short motor.

was the head and components on the original motor ok? I think those aren't cheap.

A visual inspection tells me the head/valves are ok.

Start from the date of your last entry.

You'll have to take my word for it that I want nothing other than the statistics themselves

Personally, I'm a 25 year old working in Thailand. I'm a marketing consultant with a 65k+ Baht per month salary (works out to about 80k if you add up the year end bonus).

Does that marketing work you do, by any chance, involve trying to find out how much money other foreigners in Thailand earn so that you can then "help" them to invest their money in absolutely surefire, guaranteed, rock-solid, triple-your-money-in-no-time investments and do you have a poster of Bernie Madoff framed on your bedroom wall with a small shrine?

I work for an American company and they've posted me here from abroad, I sort out marketing materials mainly. Promoting the company basically. Nothing about it involves knowing what your salary is. If I had asked anyone, it would have been reported in this thread surely.

Really, An American Company sent you all the way to Thailand to work for them and they are only paying you 65k per month.................

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

You smell of buffalo shit.

Iam Australian and pay more tax here than back home in Oz, I do not think the tax rates are acceptable.

I haven't checked the details but I do know that double taxation treaties exist between Australia and Thailand:

I have no ties to Australia other than a passport.
