and once Tadjikistan and Papua New Guinea join the EU and adopt the €UR then all remaining problems will be solved.

Naams been drinking again. But on the other hand maybe not... :)

I am all for longer range.  On some of my rides where I go fuel can be few and far apart.

All the new Hondas, IE PCX, Click, Wave, Spacy have a 5.5 lt tank or larger.  Giveing up nothing in underseat storage and at no additional cost.

Though I would like a system,  The costs you suggest are out of line for what you get.

My wave with it;s small 3.7 Lt tank gets me about 200 km.  When I know I will need longer I carry my 200 Baht gas can in my basket or on my rack.  Does the same thing doubles my range as well as allows me to help others if needed

When did the Honda Wave 110i get a larger fuel tank? I'm still seeing 3.7 liter on the (110i) specs...

I did one Retirement Extension of Stay and several 90 Day Reports at CM Immigration. Very small and crowded office- best to arrive early :)

Chok dee!

One does wonder, doesn't one!  But the officer does have discretionary authority.To be forewarned is to be forearmed! Thank you, CM!

I once spent extra time at the photocopy shop, as well, imaging the previous extensions. Fortunately, I have never had to return home for documentation.

Such authority is not unusual among officials in similar positions in most countries.  I wouldn't be terribly critical of Thai immigration officials, especially considering the license people take in meeting the requirements of non-immigrant visas of various kinds, including --- as is broadly known --- retirement visas here in Thailand. Perhaps the scattershot checking evident from various posts here over the years is a form of random spot checking.

I started going to one of those 50 satang per copy placces and getting my entire pass port copied. Like others have pointed out, the required copies seems to change for year to year, at the whim of the Immigration Officer...

Do you have any idea what a taxi charge you to take you from downtown to the dark side?  Not all of us live in downtown Pattaya.

Motorcycle taxi from Leo's to SSCC at the Crocodile Farm Road Intersection 100 Baht.

The problem is not getting back. The problem is getting INTO town from the darkside.

I hear you Raro- I used to live on the Dark side too. Maybe getting the mobile number of a few trusted moto taxi guys in your neighborhood might help.
