On the subject of Honda, they just released their all-new PCX! But, from what I can see it is the same bike as last year, even the crapy drum break on the back and combi-brakes with no ABS, those combi-breaks are accidents waiting to happen on sand or loose gravel.
You are dead on right about the combi brakes which is the reason I disconnected the option. Much safer now.

Makes sense. Really too bad, because I suspect they are a minority screwing it up for the "good farangs".
i don't buy it there are so many thais in deep debt lose cars, contracts etc. i bet the vast majority are never a problem.

You're asking for symmetry where there's really none to begin with. The US is a land of immigrants - the current jackass in the WH notwithstanding - while Thailand is most definitely not.
And I never knew a single well-off Thai in the US - and I knew plenty studying at the school I went to - who wanted to make a life in the US. On the other hand, almost every American guy (including moi) who had ever vacationed here who I talked to fantasized about moving to the LOS. So the demand and supply equation is upside down too Thailand vs. US.
Well that's interesting because there are more thais in los angeles than in any city in Thailand outside of Bangkok or Chiang Mai. So I really don't know what the hell you are talking about regarding Thais not wanting to go to the US. How is that relevant to being a fair policy.

After residing in Thailand for a number of years now on I went to get a post paid account at DTAC for my cellular plan. It offers about half the cost or less for far better data plans. Of course it is not available to farangs except with a "work visa". Not even a "retirement extension" of O visa could get it even if you had a gazillion dollars.
I have concluded this is just another way to let the carriers make a heap off the farang while Thais can pay less. I see no justification for this and it frankly pisses me off as we allow Thais to vote in America, get visas, get citizenship, get phone plans and the list goes on.

With the engine being exactly the same size as NMAX and bigger wheels/tyres on AEROX at PCX size and the body styling being sportier I think AEROX is in fact the near competitor, not NMAX now. NMAX wheels are 13" to PCX 14" and AEROX 14" and the grade of wheels and size on Aerox are like after-market upgrades.
Body length as far as I know matches or is similar to PCX on AEROX.
It may look Honda Click i-sized, but it's not.
what simply makes it a contender as a sizable group will choose it over the pcx and the pcx will continue to old its "old fogey" type riders lol

I really like these, can finally replace my airblade, blue R version for me please
this reminds me a lot of theairblade except with added bonus bigger engine fatter tires better lights...this is very tempting...
-
Yamaha has finally used their brains and created a PCX killer. I like this bike. The wider tires. Front and rear discs. LED's. This will be a big seller much like the introduction of the MSLAZ.

Savannakhet no problem. My understanding was you could get stamped about 3 times then he heat is on so people would switch between Savannakhet and Vientienne.
-
This new aerox 155 from Yammy looks interesting. I think they have a winner here. Probably handles better than the pcx while still offering good road manners. Nice fat tires. Good styling. Running on 14s with 110 and 80 width. ABS available. This is a better bike than the nmax but the price?

And they call Trump a nut job. Can you imagine this woman providing fairness and equality to all Americans with an attitude like this? What a mean spirited prejudiced person. She has been revealed. http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/09/09/hillary-clintons-47-percent-moment-calls-trump-supporters-racist-sexist-homophobic-xenophobic-islamaphobic/

I once knowingly bought a copy as it had good ratings and was quite dissapointed with the quality until I found out it was a copy of a copy. I an not joking.
It's happening a lot in the smartphone market right now.
The successful Chinese brands which have managed to build kind of a reputation like Xiaomi, Meizu etc. and whose models usually are close copies of popular designs from Apple or Samsung are now being extensively copied and fakes of these brands abound in online shops (especially Aliexpress). Quite fun to watch, really.
I just order a UMI phone from China on line at a buddy's recommendation. He's in the business and say's this one has the same specs and components as a 7-800 dollar samsung or HTC for a couple hundred bucks we'll see. he's had similar one for almost a year and loves it... Some of the Xiaomis looked very nice the reviews were good for what thats worth. And they were described as Apple clones with android soft ware.
Hey all of Apples stuff is made there right...
No apple is made in Taiwan which is why I bought an asus phone. However, the Chinese phones are getting better all the time.

It's called China. All the recognized brand names are now produced in China for the same price or more with a much lower quality. In fact most is junk with a brand name on it. The other possibility is that it could be a copy. I once knowingly bought a copy as it had good ratings and was quite dissapointed with the quality until I found out it was a copy of a copy. I an not joking.

yeah at a muslim funeral what do you expect. i don't generally listen much to what reliigous leaders have to say they mainly act in their own vested interests.

Koh Chang has everything you are looking for, but is rather like Samui was 20-30 years ago. I prefer Samui because of all the facilities, but would avoid Chaweng and Lamai. There are some lovely parts in the North between Maenam and Nathon, and again Southwards from Nathon, which are completely unspoilt yet near a beach, some with reasonable waves depending on the time of year and how far the sea goes out!
Koh Chang really isn't that much like Phuket 30 years ago. KC has a Markro, Big C, many eateries and infrastructure just now in the interior where the parks are now. Beaches still pretty good but heavy rainy season.

Totally useless in a humid climate. At best they can lower temps by 2 to 3 degrees. In a humid climate they just introduce more water vapour into the air.
Btw. Had one in the UK for "hot" summers, ended up on the rubbish tip.
Yeah but might work okay in northern thailand during the hot season with lower humidity. My uncle built one for his house in the California desert and dam it worked well keeping the place around 65-70 fahrenheit when it was 110 outside.

Interesting observations you have made. I tend to agree the shit will hit the fan shortly. As one poster suggested VN may be the place.

testmy.net

To me it's just a really bizarre bit of behaviour - i very much doubt if the OP would ever do anything like this a t home...it's just a "white superiority" thing.
I assume your ridiculous posts are tongue in cheek. If not feel sorry for you.

I believe Thailand may be on the leading edge of introducing the world's first conFUSION power plant.

I think the Thais are a step above the Laos and Cambodians. It shows in their cities.
Not true. The Cambodian and Laotians are victims of their past. The American War greatly enriched Thailand and set them on a course for strategic development. However, now their neighbors are outpacing them in growth, education and eventually infrastructure.

I would go to Vientienne this time. You should be okay for two or three there. A new passport will help but is not foolproof as you are in the computer if they dig deeper.
RD in Bangkok Complain that my salery is to high ????
