  3. Time for an update to this thread since my motorbike is now five years old. First step was to go to one of the vehicle inspection stations. There is a new one near me just off Khao Talo and costs 60 baht for a motorbike inspection, or 750 baht for inspection plus all registration with a two day turnaround time. There was no queue at the inspection station for me. I felt like going for a ride, so choose the inspection only option. This requires the green book. I took the back roads to DLT (Department of Land Transport), went to window 10 inside next to the stairs leading up

  4. The pavement surface had collapsed under the rear off side wheel of the large heavy goods vehicle. They tried an interim measure to raise the wheel and stabilise the vehicle using the mechanical support legs and were able to raise the vehicle with all its wheels above ground level. They were then trying to put support below the rear off side wheel, however when the wheel was lowered the support just collapsed.

  5. I just booked a 1 month stay flying with Emirates for £710 and pennies . I have heard a lot of great things about Emirates and at this price and local to me, Stanstead, I can at last afford to try it out for myself. The savings in time and travel costs to Gatwick or LHR make it a good price and a great opportunity. I hope this might help anyone looking

  6. With the recent reports of the 90 day online reporting system not working for some, I was wondering if after many years of using the online system I would have to do my latest report in person. Happily the system worked fine for me. I submitted my report at 07:39 and the email approval just came through at 13:09. 5.5 hours from submission to approval. I'll also mention again my experience with a new passport, exiting and re-entering Thailand, and a TM30 that hasn't been updated since I got it for my current address in 2017; the online system has worked for me every time. Never been kicked

  9. A pre constructed building is about to be dropped into place at one of the new mookata places. 79 Mookata expansion is now open for business. Won't be long before whatever this place is will open for business.

  10. It looks as if the Music Festival which is scheduled for next weekend will be a big event. Tents are erected on Beach Road for most of its length and the main stage and lighting control are also erected.

  11. I've just read the Wikipedia record of the airport occupations, (Don Muang was closed as well). Two things struck me immediately. Firstly, the protesters actually managed to invade the control tower, an area I would regard as secure. Secondly, thousands of passengers were stranded inside the airport, many of them would have been simply in transit. The Wikipedia article is worth a read, (although all the usual caveats re Wiki should be borne in mind). A lot of the information, though, is consistent with what I remember from news reports at the time. I was in Thailand at

  13. On Tiktok there are dozens of posts saying the photo is doctored because Kate is actually dead (murdered by "the firm") as no one knew she was due for surgery and hasn't been seen since. Also William's side piece has given birth to his son.

  17. My bike is 9+ years old (6,000 genuine km) and I am often away when it is due. I have always used the testing station heading North on Sukhumvit. Over Pattaya South road and it's past Soi 46 a few hundred yards. Big 'Gear' sign. Office staff great, rarely busy, test bike while you sit in the waiting room. They keep my renewal cert for me, sometimes 2+ months. Highly recommend

  18. My Mrs has always done mine for me....... Usually I have paid my CTPL already, and AA Insurance have sent me the certificate via EMS. Rip off the strip at the bottom, give her that, dig out the green book, and off she goes down the road to the Transport Office, which is a 5 KM ride down Hwy 36. She is usually back all done in an hour at most.

  20. @forcebwithu And another thing noticed... Are you familiar with Soi Suk 36/1, which usefully cuts between Soi Yume and Suk...? Radi Mansion is on there. I was pleasantly surprised when I drove it today..no speed bumps! Great.. not for hotels there of course. Bad news, it is being designated as a detour or bypass for Suk traffic to North Pattaya, since Sukhumvit is going to get messy. The soi needs to be at least twice as wide!

  21. WTF, no idea why the driver of this bus thought it was a good idea to park on the footpath. 79 Mookata has only been open a few weeks and they're already expanding.

  22. I think two rows of stalls have been removed. I suspect a building will be erected on the land being flattened. The current task of the heavy plant unit was to demolish the Runway Street Food sign.

  26. Thanks @BeerBelly for the registration cost at the inspection station. Previously I've done on my registrations at Mitiyon. Each year the cost has creeped up. My last renewal back in November was 1,000B. Quite a bit higher than what you paid at the inspection station, greedy bastards. I'll be using the inspection station from now on.

  28. As BB as shown ,look for that sign if your bike is 5 y/o, there is one on Tai but I'm sure many others . in and out quickly. I have also sent my lady to Mitiyon and they deal with everything. Now upcountry I find my 160cc lacking. I love the Bike Porn thread and am thinking a new CBR.

  30. Showers haven't lost their heads yet. Two of the four drains were clogged with sand though. Wonder when, if ever they'll get around to completing the second shower. It is amazing how long the simplest of projects can take here. Attention deficit disorder is rampant here.

  31. Greetings Monkeywatchers, core coon crap for staying in touch, and welcome to another sneak peek at the latest goings on (or off as the case may be.) Pattaya police have been issuing leaflets to Chinese tourists warning them of online scams. Suppose they’re on about things like advertising Pattaya as a great place for families where they won’t get shot at by gangs or drowned on ferries. Now who would fall for a scam like that? A beach on Koh Larn has been given a major clean up following a rash of complaints about foul smells, flies and litter. This has outraged the Chinese ambassado

  33. I keep an eye on the water levels over at Maprachan when I’m out that way and the lakes is still relatively full compared to the drought years but I have to say that more and more land is becoming visible just wondering if we’ll be able to survive the hot season round the corner without water outages.

  34. It’s 1926, the Governor General of the Fiji Islands is retiring, and his successor has just arrived to take up his duties. Both are sitting in the garden, and the outgoing GG is briefing the new one about current events. “I also want you to meet Carruthers, who has been my ADC for many years, and is now yours, and is a most competent officer with a splendid military record.” Carruthers is duly summoned and makes his appearance. He’s a shocking sight - less than 5 feet tall, a bad limp, completely bald though not above 35, and has a grossly disfigured face strewn with blotches, sores and with
