You have 14 days before and 7 days after the reporting date to report.  You will be leaving on the 7th day so don't see it as a problem.  Since this is not Chiang Mai specific, will move to Visas forum.
I have to report on june 21st. Does that mean I can do it as early as the 7th of june?

any indications about the long term reliability of the Honda

This is Thailand, when Thai people see a Honda they know the reliability... that some people think that the Honda CRF250L is better than the Kawasaki KLX250 is just a bonus... Most Thai people are Honda lovers, already Honda cannot keep production up with demand... meaning that for every KLX250 Honda sells probably 20 CRF250L's


I would suggest that they assume reliability as opposed to 'know', as far as I know the CBR250 has quite a few issues compared to the rock solid Ninja. I would agree that this is the perception in Thailand though, and some farang forget their ability to think critically when they land in LOS for a few months as we have all seen. Others are paid to spam here on TV.

20 to 1 is also unlikely, unless the RRP turns out to be 110k. Hope it does, I like the CRF a lot, hopefully detuning that thumper engine a bit and putting it back where it belongs (in a dirt bike chassis) will fix the issues they had with the CBR. I'm guessing it will, that engine should have gone straight from the CRF250R to the CRF250L, the detour into the CBr 'sportsbike' was unfortunate.
Sumetcycle said somewhere that he did not have to honour 1 single warranty claim yet on the cbr250.
Can you please give us some examples of the cbr's problems that you know of .
Why is it many times i read your posts i hear biggbikebkk speaking

Great comparison, thank you.  Seems the tried and tested KLX wins by a short head after reading the full report
I read the full article and did not get that impression . They said the handling of the honda was actually better because of the lower center of gravity. Power seemed to be the same. Interesting because the klx tested was not standard. First of all it must have been derestricted and also has modifications done to airbox, exhaust and ecu.

theres only a handful of thais that would or even could pay upwards to 30,000+ thb a month for a renting a condo (thais that rich would just buy it and forget about renting  )
and why does she need to be bought a "half decent car for 500,000+ " etc

also ,i dont know many farangs and ceratinly not many thais that are making a million a month

the kind of thai people making  a million a month ,are probably not going to be interested in a girl whos 30 odd
and been around  the block a bit either ........esp with farangs

Something I have always wondered about posts like this...every time I get in the car and drive to Pattaya or BKK...I see many, many Merc's BMW's big Audi etc etc...seeing our resident experts are of the opinion Thai's are "poor" and wouldnt pay 30k/m for a condo...who exactly are these people driving these cars ?

As far as I can see...dont see many farangs driving these sort of vehicles.

further the serviced apartment I stay in when I have to go the office in BKK is always full, but typically there are only 3-4 Farangs living there, the rest are Thai...Starting price per month 42k/m

I guess you guys must be living in a different reality

THB 20,000/m to live on is a pittance irrespective of your nationality
appearances can be deceiving. You see something and draw a conclusion. It is indeed as far as YOU can see.
That still does not change the FACT that most of the thai population makes less then 20.000 baht a month
