This is all you ever need if you want to know dry days

Next one is 20th May
Why? It isn't a holiday, religious or otherwise.

Which taxis are involved? The Airport green-plated grey limos or the yellow-plated meter taxis?

I put my money for the moment on 1) the Southern insurgency.
Just a few weeks ago I posted in TV that it is just a matter of time before the insurgents will target tourist destinations.
Considering they planted a car bomb on Phuket a bit over a year ago ...

Yeah certainly should be fingers crossed. The store I ordered was from a website called skate warehouse.com. Prices were decent when buying it. But now its inflated to almost double with shipping and the UPS bullshit money stuff.
I won't have to worry about shipping - it's free, or included in the cost, whichever way you want to look at it. On the other hand, order a couple of shirts from Tailor on Ten in Bangkok and they stiff you an extra 750 baht for delivery to Hat Yai.

with my experience non-courier services (normal post) a lot of the times the parcels simply come in under the radar, occasionally I do get stung for import taxes and duties but that is rare.I wonder why is USPS or other government courier services are never in this sort of situation ? Anybody had a bad experience with those also ?
With companies like UPS, they always do the customs calculations and also do the collecting.
I regularly order shirts from The Tailor Store online. Their factory is in Sri Lanka and delivery is by UPS to Thailand. Never had to pay any customs charges yet - got another package due next week, so fingers crossed.

That's great
Although I think the guy that said he bought it for 95K in Pattaya is "totally" cheaper as the fuel, hotel, time cost will be close to 7-10K. The best price I found was 99K in Mityon close to Tukcom excluding the registration fee. Don't know if transfer fee and registration fee is the same though.
I'm not sure I understand you. It didn't cost me anything in fuel, hotel or time. The bike is currently being sold in Thailand for 89,900 Baht, plus registration. I would assume most large dealers have access to the same deals from Honda. You asked a pretty straightforward question ... I just gave you a straightforward answer.
"Where can I buy the Sh150i with visor and box for 95k?

I bought mine around 9 months ago from World Camera in Fortune Town. Can't comment on the current price as it was due to fall in response to the (anticipated) launch of the Panasonic FZ1000 around the same time. Great camera though!

I ask u now. Where can I buy the Sh150i with visor and box for 95k?Someone interested easily can send a message to ask. There are people who mentioned even cheaper prices in the forum. Someone Not stupid will check few dealers and or will ask. . Upset coz ur price have to go down?
Not sure about the "new" price of 105k. I've just bought one for 90k Baht in Hat Yai - including Givi box and windshield thingy (I got the dealer to remove that). Had a choice of black or white - both in stock - chose the black one as per the pics in the OP. It was on offer at the Hat Yai Motor Show last week at that price and is advertised in the showroom for 95k.
Picking it up tomorrow ... can get pics if you want.

"A taxi to Hat yai from airport,will cost 350-380 depends on negotiation with driver,so don't do it.
I took the songteaw to southern busterminal and paid 40thb."
A meter taxi from opposite Arrivals should be 200 Baht to Hat Yai City Centre. Same price for the return journey.
My thai-gf asked some of them,while i was standing 100m away.
The infos she'd got was:
Most of them don't want to use meter,especially not when you're a farang.
BUT..if you can get a taxi with/without meter on,then 200thb is not a fortune :-)
Anyway,thanks a lot for info
I'm pretty sure the prices are listed at the taxi-meter booth. I'll check next time I'm up there. When I can through a couple of weeks ago, the airport limo folk had a promotion for 250 Baht one-way.
Regarding cheap hotels, the Tune in Hat Yai is a conversion rather than a new build so the rooms are quite large (for a Tune property). Good value for money if the inclusive package is booked on the likes of Agoda.

It's a great favourite of Leftists in the UK. If anyone disagrees with your view of the world denounce him as a "racist" and hey-presto, argument over.

Just a matter of justification, there are 100s of 1000s of Christians, Buddhists, Hindus living in the Middle east for work and living, will they allow them build Churches and Temples there ?
If they are talking about religious freedom, they should consider in every country, not just enforce in the secular countries.
It has nothing to do with the middle east and everything to do with Thailand. They seem quite happy to build Buddhist temples in Satun, Yala, Pattani etc, so why the issue with mosques in muslim minority provinces? Or should the buddhist temples in the moslem majority provinces be bulldozed?

Riding a hot air balloon in Thailand ? Ive lived this long here, despite riding a bike occasionally without a helmet, often ridden the railways, driven a car, once actually went in a public minivan, ridden motorcycle taxis, tuk tuks, been on the balconies of tall buildings, rented a jet ski and by sheer luck survived them all.........however, Im thinking a flight in a Thai hot air ballon might just be a step too far.........
Thailand, I love you. But youre the land that health and safety forgot.........
According to the OP, it's an International event ... so no problem! Look forward to your pics.

Right, the beach is as close as the dark side from beach road in Pattaya ;D
Timewise, that's probably true.
-
Nobody goes to Had Yai, coming from Malaysia or Singapore, for beaches or shopping - trust me on that
Quite possibly because there aren't any beaches in Hat Yai. Trust me on that!

Plenty of naughty night life in Hat Yai to keep these devout Moslem men happy whilst on their vacation.
The vast majority of Hat Yai tourists are Chinese Malaysians ... then Indian Malaysians. The Malay guys tend to come with their families.

The flag market behind Wat Bowon will do them "off the shelf" or made to measure.

Avoid the three provinces listed above and there is no problem. If you drive to Malaysia you need
- Translation of registration document provided by the transport department.
- License plate using western alphabet (you get the necessary characters from the translation above) (I printed out the number in large font, had it laminated and fastened it over the Thai plate)
- Insurance valid for Malaysia (I have been checked by Malaysian police twice)
You also need to display a vehicle disc (obtained from the Malaysian Dept of Transport, just after customs).
-
that region [the three southernmost border provinces] is suspicious of outsiders and they don't like you anyway. Next time do the responsible thing and cross at Padang Besar, Bukit Kayu Hitam (Sadao) or one of the Satun crossings.
Never had a problem with the folks when travelling in the southernmost provinces. They seemed to be pretty friendly and appreciative that you were visiting/passing through their little corner of Thailand. I certainly didn't get the impression they had particular "issues" with westerners.

To be honest, the best pizza in Hat Yai, is the Pizza Company.
Don't know where you call home, but I've lived in New York, Boston, Chicago and the West Coast...and this place does the best pizzas.
... if you've been brought up on so-called "pizza" in New York, Boston, Chicago and the West Coast USA. Its only redeeming feature is that it's better than Pizza Hut. Euros might have a different opinion as to what constitutes (good) pizza.

I think the comment on Haad Yai having the most attractive women is far off: Bangkok is now the hands-down winner in that department, IMHO.
To be fair, I think the "good looking women" claim was per capita.

I admit the municipality park is cool.
That's the Ice Dome for you! You ain't got one of them in Ban Phru. LOL.

According to my neighbors and the previous tenants of my house who lived all over Thailand, Hatyai is one of the worst places in terms of rat infestation. My wife also agrees with them.
LOL. I remember visiting Hameln - it was lovely. Just like Hat Yai.
