pookett Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 ....preferably in Patong but Kathu or Phuket town is fine. Lazada etc. is awash with fakes as are the couple of bike repair shops I visited today. ( Model CPR8EA-9 ) TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Lowf Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 To be certain I'd go to an official Honda/Yamaha dealer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Lowf Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 To the person that posted the "Haha", how about elaborating? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought NGK plugs on Lazada from shops in LOS. I have had no problems...... My Honda lawn mower and car run great......???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first service on my ADV at an official dealer was B290 - okay, it's only an oil-change and quick checkover but they did it while I waited and I was pleasantly surprised.

But Lazada deliver to the door for peanuts, so drive to the dealers to then pay over the top, seems a bit daft to me...........???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazada deliver copies to your door. Here's a copy bought locally.... There are clues in both the packaging and the plug itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pookett Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 A shop on Lazada using the Laz mail delivery service means Lazada delivered it, the shop only supplied it ???????? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pookett Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 In answer to my own question. Why do I always forget about Prasut bikes in Kathu?! Great place, plug procured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The street biker opposite Honda main bike dealer in Phuket town are fairly honest, the girl there offers me 3 types of spare parts, grade B copy, grade A copy and genuine...! Saying that I have no way of knowing the genuine part I paid for is a copy/fake...!? I've given up worry about it now, it's just the way it is over here... 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoKorat Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) I believe GP Autoparts in Bangkok sell NGK. I've bought parts for several cars from them and all have been genuine. They seem to have changed their name but this is they.......and they do have English speakers. If not NGK, they will have another proprietory brand. https://www.gpmobility.co.th/en/home-page/ Edited December 3, 2023 by MangoKorat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
