Thanks and I appreciate all of your recommendations.

Thanks very much 

Thank you 

Hi.

Are the beach chair vendors still operating on Jomtien Beach, serving food and drinks?

If so, is it every day or closed on certain days like a few years ago?

Will be visiting beginning of August.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers ???? 

Terrific news.

Made my day.

I want to know if any customers fled into the sea like last time.

I watch the MotoGP races each round including qualifying, plus WSBK when they are on.

Last races I went to were in 2019, Buriram and Sepang (Sepeng was completely packed, the most I've seen it since first going in 2005).

My brother in law was going to the 2020 Buriram race, the ticket could then be used for the 2021. However I had seen somewhere that the powers that be for the 2021 event say that the contract would be renewed for another 5 years from 2022.

Really not sure about the 2021 race. Not sure if he could still use the 2020 ticket for 2022 either.

I'm now stuck in Singapore for the last 1.5 years.

Mad times eh.

A CB400 was referred to as a big bike so I guess that will be the cut it off level. 

Why are you bothered you have had big bikes in Thailand for years. 

 

What I would like to know is how training is going to be introduced or are they just gonna leave it to years on a 300 or age. 

Yes mate.

Doesn't effect me.

Saying that, my licence expired about 10 years ago and as I haven't lived in Thailand full time since then (working in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur) I haven't been able / got around to, a renewal. 

Eventually when I give up the day job I'll apply again. Hopefully by the same conversion as before (conversion of my Singapore license to this new big bike licence).

The theory test all those years ago was highly entertaining.

As you mentioned, would it be automatically issued if the licence holder of the existing bike license had held it for years, and what training?

Cheers 

Anyone know of any further details?

It was bound to happen at some point and not a bad thing, safety wise. No mention of when it will be introduced or the size limit of the bike (exactly what is classified as a big bike), or as the article mentions how many years experience of riding are required to qualify.

What the criteria of the additional test required?

Still, no change to the car license is mentioned. Nothing stopping a new driver getting behind the wheel of any cc size of car.

Three nutters off the streets though.

Sorry for the lady.

Apologies.

The Yamaha MT09 is the every day transport here in Singapore 

I have bought one.

Base model, mainly due to the fact that the next model up (Premium) is about 200k extra for 2 x electric passenger seats, electrically operated side doors and some upgrades in interior visuals. Almost everything else is the same.

Due to collect it in 2 weeks.

Waiting list was 6 months.

Was looking at a new Alphard, but its ridiculously expensive.

Korat.

At present we have a Vigo Hilux 3litre 4 door and a Mazda 2 S.

First week of June we will collect a new Toyota Majesty.

Really wanted a Ducati V4 Street Fighter but caved into the missus. 

Great respect to those that made his return to the UK possible.

Everyone's story is different so its inaccurate to generalise anything here. It does, however, seem he made his own misery a reality. Surprised his family in the uk let him do it in the first place.

Hello.

From experience last year and experience at other MOTO GP rounds.

Are we allowed to carry in our own water? Snacks? Umbrella?

Water and snacks available inside, so need to bring them. Prices were not excessive.

I cant remember if I had my bag searched on the way in though, but at other Moto GP rounds (Malaysia) they will have a look inside.

Umbrella OK but I had some guy putting one up in front of last year on the Marquez Stand and kept pushing it away as all I could see was his FARKING UMBRELLA.

How far away is parking? What time should we plan to arrive in the morning on Fri, Sat, Sun?

Motorbikes parking inside the circuit grounds - easy distance (dont know about cars though).

The races are quite early in the day, first being at 11am. 

I will be there about 8am on Sunday.

Vendors in the paddock? Do they accept cards or do I need to bring cash?

Cant go wrong with cash. 

How bad is getting around Buriram in the evenings (to go to dinner, events, etc)?

No idea.

What is nice is the soon to be announced new Ducati Streetfighter V4....suppose best get saving then....
