Bicycle sought to suit my stature
Thank you. Your views are appreciated. I have in fact learnt to do as you suggest, by keeping in the up-position the pedal on the side to I am turning. But this means I must stop pedalling for a while at a moment when I am trying to gain maximum speed to pull well ahead of motorised traffic at traffic lights that have just turned green. If the pedal itself hit the deck, in view of the traffic behind that could spell my demise. I also sweep in as wide as possible a turn in order not to lean over more than necessary. This problem did not exist with the older bicycle, owing to its pedals being higher. The bicycle is not with me at the moment, but definitely I have had to fix the saddle much more than you suggest above the saddle-post. I looked everywhere for an XXL-frame in Chiang Mai but the largest available were XLs. So in the end that is what I bought. -

Would depend on your specific area and where or how far you ride. Not on a highway or dense city traffic, for sure. MTB should have longer chainstays than your racer. Rear axle will be further back, rack will sit further back, heels less likely to hit the saddlebags. You could also look at a different style rear rack, something adjustable that sits further back. It's also possible to fashion extension pieces that bolt onto the lower mounting bolts that move the rack up and back. -

Information requested with regard to 800000 Baht in bank for retirement visa
Not every office ever asked for the "3 months later" evidence. I don't think it was ever a genuine requirement only something some offices decided would be good to irritate people. -

Information requested with regard to 800000 Baht in bank for retirement visa
Have the circumstances changed? It seems that evidence that 800K has been in the applicants bank account for 2 months-prior to application date is unchanged. Historically a 2 nd visit with a similar letter was required 3 months after the application was approved. It appears that this 2nd visit is now no longer required. Is this the case? -

Thai police shut down 21 villas on Koh Samui, foreigners evicted
I've been hanging around this forum since 2004 or so, before joining in 2009. Believe me, hang 'em high is nothing in the least bit new on AN (once Thai Visa). It well predates the US election 555. -

Illegal Foreign Guide Assaults Chinese Tourist at Jewelry Store
To be a licensed tour guide there is a class that has to be taken and a fairly comprehensive test you must pass to be certified. I believe the license is good for five years. Not sure about the renewal process. My Thai wife was certified a few years ago and the test was not easy. You also must wear either a suit or nice slacks/dress and a dress jacket to all classes. -

TM30
You keep saying this. You don't seem to realise that when the hotel or landlord of apartment submits an online TM30 application that is the reporting to immigration. You only need to provide a copy of TM30 to immigration when you apply for something at immigration (like your 30 day extension)- 1

Bicycle sought to suit my stature
Thanks. Very useful info. Shall give it thought. I must say that the idea of towing a trailer in Thailand somewhat concerns me. Some drivers of cars, trucks, and even motor-cycles here seem oblivious to the existence of bicycles and zoom past within centimetres. I could tell some horror stories of near-misses, even on broad multi-lane highways; caused, I presume, by sheer negligence. In France the law requires a motorist to allow a gap of one metre when passing a cyclist. Which tends to be fairly well observed, since the French of all classes tend to favour cycling as a pastime. And a German neighbour tells me that in his country of origin the margin of safety is such that a cyclist who falls over will not be struck by a motorized vehicle that is passing by. -
