I think its a typo with the price being a swinging 75,000 baht

Thailand the land of virtually no depreciation where a 15 year old car can sell for £4000 as opposed to £300 back in Blighty

the givi box is mounted using a plastic bracket that wont hold much weight...u can now buy a rack for 850 baht that bolts to the back of the pcx thus enabling you to fit the box of your choice....also has the advantage of being able to take a bit of weight in the box

no so go and buy the PCX and dont forget the aftermarket seat (about 2000baht) u then have the perfect machine for commuting in Thailand

my hand goes numb on long journeys so i was thinking of giving one of the above a try....Is there anywhere in CM to buy the item?

theres a Chinese circus on at the 700 year old stadium on December 21/22

heres the website but its in thai language

g/f calls me Uan jan which i think corresponds to Fatty even though i am 6ft 90kg and rippling with muscle

i call her Naa Ling which is a play on the english expression Darling.............Naa = Face...........Ling = Monkey

I can see him in the scooter type wheelchair

I would be very wary about buying this type of scooter because of reliability issues along with the fact u state that where he lives is a rugged area...the scooters in the pics are meant for shopping malls or paved flat areas and will not handle rugged terrain....also where are u going to get parts to fix it when it goes wrong or even someone with the know how to service it?

I have been trying to find a pic of the Honda Wave disabled wheelchair user sidecar that i was talking about in another post but havent been able to find one..the outfit is the same as a standard type Wave and Sidecar except the handlebars are mounted on the front of the sidecar with an arm connected to the headstock of the bike thus allowing control of the machine from the wheelchair user who sits in the chair inside the sidecar..the user enters and exits via a ramp at the back of the sidecar..the gear lever and rear brake are also modified to allow them to be hand controlled from the sidecar....this sort of set up can be easily and cheaply maintained by the local motorbike shop and will last him indefinitly rather than a couple of years at best from a scooter

I would suggest u have a talk with your nephew stating the alternatives and see what he says

heres a CM based charity that could help point u in the right direction

all the best

do they piss test for marijuana?

you dont say how old he is but wouldnt a handa wave and sidecar nodified to let the user steer from the sidecar be a more cost effective option easily fixed and cheap to run in the boonies?

heres a version with a Honda Click as the donor bike but i would say the Honda Wave is a better bet where your going....I see many of these machines in Thailand

my local Honda shop in CM now has an all black CBR250 without the silver trim and with mag wheels blacked....they also have one in the export tri colour paint

does he not have a standard wheelchair to get about in?depending on how disabled he is maybe a mobility scooter would be a better purchase....u can get some seriously rugged ones depending on the type of terrain it will seewhy not purchase a s/hand one in the states where u will get more for your money and a better choice and ship it with u when u fly.........if u say that it is needed for you and get a walking stick to look the part the airlines are duty bound to carry it on the flight for you free of charge http://www.mobility-...ithScooter.html

I can buy online and have one delivered for 1300 baht but they are virtually no different to racks I see for the Mio,Fino and Wave that cost 500 baht locally,the only diffence being the shape of the fitting end.....anyone know a shop in CM thats selling a rack for a CBR250?

defy mini

Motorola Defy range. NEC (dont know the name. Medias.. I think)

I-mobile Seal ...

sent from my ..................#

teerac just got the Motorola Defy which claims to be waterproof but obviously only for a quick dousing or being dropped in the toilet......u can buy one at Zoom on the 3rd floor of Airport Plaza where all the phone shops are....cost 4900 baht..a good deal in my opinion

sounds like hes a doomsday prepper

cross over the road from Suandok hospital then walk up the hill about 50 metres and there is a place that sells chemicals and laboratory glassware

live in a small condo so dont have an oven....My mum useed to make it too with the skin on the top which was the best bit, just had a craving for it yesterday but nobody has come up with a place to buy it....maybe one of the restaurants can make it up and put it on the menu as it seems theres a few still craving the taste lol

I'm quite sure I saw it at Butter is Better in Rimping Meechok. Right next to the chocolate pudding. They probably have it all the locations.

teerac went to Butter is better next to the Rimping at Airport Plaza and picked up a small pot of home made rice pudding.....only downside was the pot was tiny and the price was 40 baht

looked in Tops,Tesco and Rimping today but no joy.....anyone seen it,any make will do?

Just moved from Aus to live with the mia,been visting over the last 10 years and worked hard together to build our new home about 50k south of Lampang in SoemNgam

its not your home its hers.......u dont own the land....lets hope the family isnt planning to move in to their new farang built house conveniently situated in their home village while u get given your marching orders.........one things for sure u better be a good boy now u have commited yourself and your cash

Typical negative comment from a disgruntled Farang - It's not her home it is theirs 50/50 regardless of the land ownership of which also can be overcome with a 30 + 30 year lease. First obtain the yellow book and then get a lawyer to draw up the legals. Not a big deal and relatively easy to do. Been there and done it.

cant see her being happy about that after the fact....and who would want to live in the ex village in the middle of nowhere when it all goes sour?

and by the way I am not disgruntled as I would never put myself in that position but guys seem to forget to be careful about finances when they are lubbed up...chok dee

The RCBO should be tested with main breaker on and NO circuits connected , this will prove that the RCBO does trip. If it does not trip it is faulty and must be replaced.

so if I switch off all the breakers and test the RCBO with just the main breaker on this should prove that the replacement is also faulty?

for information the main breaker switch does cut all power to the house when off

will try the above next week if i am there

i have found a shop in CM that sells the safe t cut main breaker with the RCBO as a package for 1750 baht but dont wish to spend that money if its proved that the wiring is at fault

persuaded safety cut to give us a new/recon RCB switch as it was still under gurantee

inserted this into the box and the RCB still doesnt work

so bearing in mind that 2 RCBs arent working could the problem be that the box hasnt been wired correctly

is there a way of wiring the box that bypasses the actual RCB module?....could the main isolater switch which is an integral part of the complete RCB module when purchased be at fault?

can anyone give me a wiring diagram on how the box should be wired up...its just a two wire home system

thanks
