I couldn't get that into my mouth......

Coming up at £636 now. Unless you booked this already, you may have shot yourself in the foot by posting this link.... all the 'interest' has bumped the price! Eighteen hours transit time outward, and twelve on the return leg is pretty bad though! I would pay the extra £80 and get the Qatar flight.

It is quite possible I bumped my head rhythmically on some of that concrete some years back. It may explain a few current issues.

Pop into the Triangle bar and talk to the guy there. Mostly I come across owners rather than employed managers, outside of the GoGo Bar scene.

You can pay around 25,000 baht p.a. for a policy which is not fully comprehensive, to 70,000 baht plus for more comprehensive ones. (BUPA for example offer quite a range). Medical costs here can be eye-watering and quite mercenary for those of us accustomed to 'National Health' There is always the option of 'self insuring'..... rather than spend the money on a policy with a 1,000,000 baht cap, have that amount available in the bank.

I see you are only 47 although of course I am unsure of your state of health... but do you have any form of medical cover which would include Thailand? A sudden incident can put a dent in plans........

Actually there are plenty photos if you use MM's link above. The OP could have simply bumped his previous post. I think pics of a vehicle for sale is a reasonable request......

Snatch.

There you go manipulating the stats again Gary...... That figure, 25,000 baht per month might be a median number, but not an average. Those sweeping the verge as I rode past this morning would aspire to 1/10th of that and if my missus learns of that figure she will be asking for a rise!

Yes, the curfew seems to be having the opposite effect than that planned.

The Italian Job.

Surprised me slightly, as when I see a PCX they appear so much wider than my bike..... and yes MM I can appreciate the rising anger stuck behind someone who won't squeeze through when the 95 degree sunshine is beating down on your helmet. It seems harder when there is a lot of Krung Thep traffic in town as they seem to pack it tight.

The Beano!

As a slight aside, but somewhat relative to the 'size' of the PCX MM (and other PCX owners), how do you feel wrt worming your way to the front at the lights. I squeeze through on my Nuovo,but anything bigger.... nope.

I daren't admit as to what I first thought it meant!

Mike Myers...... (avoiding potential dead ends)

Yeah, saw a few programs on TV while in the UK about uncovering fake electric toothbrush heads, razors, rolling baccy etc and such made in China, being mailed into the UK. Was it another Dominic Littlewood episode?

What are 'Body Corporate Fees'?

You have a point, my odd afternoon sessions had me recoiling in horror Dracula style when exiting the darkened Nevada A-Go-Go into bright afternoon sunlight.

A BIz Class flight would cost about £2,000, give you a 50KG baggage allowance, and you could wear 20kg worth. Don't forget to pay your VAT. Try one of the shipping companies, someone I know recently shipped 1/2 a truck load of stuff overseas and the price was in the hundreds, not thousands.

That would NOT include the big annual type items, medical insurance, flights home etc. No rent though, as I own the house, sort of! But it does include monthly expenses, like electricity, water, 'allowance' for the Mrs, food, nights out. My local bank account shows total withdrawals for the month, and since I pay for most things in cash, and the credit card is a deduction on said account, I can readily see what each month entails.

I seem to average 80k-90k per month, but I live in a largish house with a number of monthly bills. I also dread certain times of year when insurances/ renewal type items come in. (Medical insurance, vehicle insurance for eg). Elec 3k,water 1-2k, (fucking garden), cable TV cheap (sophon), internet 700, pcm..then extras like pool service, bug spraying, gardening and the missus!

I caught one with 6ft legs coming out of the Mercure once and asked her 'did you finish your work yet'? After an instant of confusion she said 'yes, finish work now, go home!'...... Perhaps your chubby girl got chucked out...
