  1. My Honda was converted last year close to Cha-Am and I did 18,000km with it. So far I am pretty satisfied with it.

    The donut tank type is space saving. Choose the biggest tank available as you can use 80percent of the volume only.

    Mine is 54l, so usable volume is approx 44l, which is good for 380km with my 2.4l engine.

    km costs are cut down to half, so it pays back pretty fast

  2. trailers seem to get more-and-more popular in thailand.

    respo was mentioned already, there is winner in udon, german trailer in pattaya and upbeat in bkk.

    google will find the related websites easily.

    tax and compulsory is a minor amount.

    i hope to get my bike trailer delivered next week.

  3. This green book issue had been debated many times here. You really should ask yourself, do you really want to own a vehicle that is not legal to be on the road, and are you willing to deal with the consequence of that, which is having your motorcycle confiscated?

    No green book means it has not been properly registered, so it is not legal, plate or no plate, tax sticker or no tax sticker. Would you ride an illegal vehicle in your home country? Many will jump in and say having paid import papers makes it legal, the simple fact is it doesn't.

    You may ride it for years without a book and be stopped many times and pay the bribes, but it only takes one police man who doesn't like you or had a fight with his wife or wants your bike or (despite people on this forum saying it is not possible) he is just an honest cop who prides himself on upholding the law, and they take your bike from you. Would you just shrug your shoulders and say "well I had it coming since it was illegal" or would you come on this forum and complain how some "corrupt" cops stole your bike from you just because you didn't have a green book?

    exactly, good and clear statement

  4. I had problems with my Dell laptop, which I bought in China approx 2 years ago.

    So I called Dell in Bangkok on tuesday morning. It looked like the problem might be the harddisc and I told Dell, that the motherboard might have another problem with the sound.

    I was told that I would need thai warranty extension for 1 year service in Thailand, costs around 3.500 THB, otherwise I would have guarantee on parts only.

    I agreed and was informed that the engineer will call me the next day (wednesday) before lunch.

    As announced I received his call yesterday around 9AM, saying he will be at my place around 4PM. He arrived at 15:30 and replaced harddisc and motherboard including transfer of OS, programs and my data.

    Yesterday evening my laptop was working again.

    Called service in BKK at tuesday morning, had it repaired wednesday eve in Hua Hin.

    Thats what I call service, definitely my next computer will be a Dell after such experience.

  5. Guy near me has had the 'doughnut' tank fitted in his CRV. Cost 38,000 Baht. The conversion's start at around 10,000 Baht. You pay your money ................................................ I'm looking to get my 2.7 Fortuner converted. A tank to be placed where the spare wheel currently is. Has anyone got any info regarding this. Thanks.

    It would be interesting to know where your neighbour got it done and what is his experience.

  6. My advice - get the flash cards AND the book. They'll probably complement each other nicely.

    correct, they are definitly a helpful tool.

    you can order them online at www.lannainnovation.com or www.howtolearnthai.com, in shops they are 250 THB each set

    understanding tone classes is essential for further learning progress

  7. The Thais understand very well the concept of nationality (sanchart) versus ethnicity (cheuachart).

    The OP confuses the two.

    He is "sanchart" British but "cheuachart" English.

    Thai immigration couldn't care less what your "cheuachart" is...it's all about the passport you hold.

    thats the best answer towards the 90days reporting at immigration.

    it all depends what the threadstarter wants from immigration

    1) just a stamp on a piece of paper

    or

    2) a discussion with IO, in that case I suggest you print out the whole thread to keep the officer fully informed
