Deadly stats, with many double deckers fail the 4.2m height restriction and inclination test 30 degrees.

“Many of the double-decker buses that registered before 2014 do not pass essential safety standards, such as the height of the bus being over 4.2 metres, and do not pass inclination tests at 30 degrees, so it is very risky if these buses to drive on dangerous and steep routes,” he said.

Can. As long as anything lower than 50 cc or 60cc equivalent power, (can’t remember 50 or 60 cc) There are no laws regarding such bikes or device.

BUT seldom or never see anyone using. The public roads here you know lor. Very unsafe for such stuff. Almost bought one few years back at the escooter ebicycle shop in third road near Pattaya north.

They even have models that is like motorcycle but run entirely on electricity. My opinion is these vehicles are damm quiet and this can be very dangerous. Other vehicles and road users might not be able to feel the presence or too late too detect. Also these bikes really not 3 and not 4. More powerful than normal bicyle but less powerful than actual motorcycles. Can be dangerous if the acceleration is not fast enough.

I need a machine to zip around the soi. But motorbikes are relatively cheap in Thailand, especially a 2nd hand one. So it doesn't make sense to pay 20,000 baht for a PMD that is not going to get me for Thappraya to Naklua.

If need mechanic to verify condition of on sale second hand bike, let me know. Can bring him go check check and agar agar the price. His shop just around rompho market.

In fact, living in Pattaya offers an experience very different from BKK. I can't speak for CNX because I have never lived there before. Pattaya seems like a "farang magnet", and not long after I planted a flag in Pattaya I found myself mingling with British, Canadian, French, Norwegian, Swiss, Hungarian and Russian on a regular basis. It's a mini Europe.

I think I'm going to slowly shift by "power base" from Thappraya to Naklua. With Terminal 21 coming up, Naklua may have more 看头 in time to come.

Like Naklua in almost every aspect but still prefer Jomtien for long term residence.

Will talk about Naklua when I free.

Thanks Boss.

Is Shabushi @ Fortune Town opposite Central Param 9 still in business ? I checked the map (not sure if it's updated) and it shows both Fortune Town and Central Param 9 have Shabushi outlets. Knowing Central Param 9 still so modern, sure packed like sardine one. I want to try the run down Fortune Town outlet.

Wow...next few months Thailand will be interesting.

Can watch Thomas Cup and Uber Cup in May @ IMPACT Muangthong Thani. Then June can watch World Cup via FREE TV. Shiok manz!

Oh, btw, Car Show is just around the corner. KNN, SGP is fucking boring.
