Thanks for your feed back, but the discussion was regarding travel insurance no Inpatient insurance as you mostly noted. Based on a number of responses regarding pay out I did do some research, the information is all lump into one they don't specify claims as we are discussing directly with Thailand but the number do bare out that a great majority of claims " Travel Insurance " are paid out. Majority of them that do not generally are due to lack of fine print reading and pre-existing condition. From stories here on Asean reported, many do not have insurance of any kind when they travel, many are denied due to rental of motorbikes and their related accidents, even a few regarding being drunk, falling off balconies?

Helmet is the easiest thing to pick needed but not the full reason why the death and accident rate is what it is but that is consistent with the leadership in Thailand for solutions🤣

You got it wrong a bit, maybe it is your ORGIN! I didn't say that I needed to have a case " REPORTED TO ME " PERSONALLY! which yes if that is what I expect is not RELEVANT! I've not read any stories that in Thailand claims have been successfully paid! Sue if I did the research data, it isn't relevant all I express was I haven't read one! Like always because of your ORIGIN you always like to add in non relevant to try to look good!🤣 just end up shooting yourself in the foot🤣

Sure, but it would be nice especially when we are talking about Thailand, to see some stats and data as to claims being paid or not being paid?

That is true but from past reading drinking clubbing I sure they would have found a way to denied the claim. I've not heard one story where a person had one actually got paid?

Thats what I'm talking about! I can easily take a girl short time on one of those! 🤣

A new PCX today 160 run you bit over 100,000 baht. Many out there range of 100,000 baht can get an electric scooter type vehicle with rear brakes light, cover, no doors, seating in the back with headlights but I don't think it is really truly legal here although it is being sold I didn't see plates on it at my granddaughter school. Travel speed I noticed you are not going to get even a speed of 40-50 KM/H, but it was going pretty well at 30, the best part it can still undertake car traffic if one picks and choose I noticed while I was sitting in traffic trying to get out of school grounds.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, especially with possible cost. If I need to spend 100,000 to modify then it's gets red line out of my thinking " Best bang out of the baht ," I will continue to look for a shop and actual price. There are lots of electric product out in the market wil keep looking.

Thanks, I was told this year ago when I looked into it.

Nice

It has nothing to do with cost, I have a good bike although it is old has 150,000KM, I have more cars and bike now taking this one is a wise decision has nothing to do with money or buying a new one!

Not always, a friend once went to one shop in Pattaya, was told exactly can't it was barely sticking out when I looked at it. It also happen this same shop recommended go across and get new rims. When he told me after coffee drove to another shop no problem and no problems ever since.

Thanks I not there yet but my Thai wife is interested.

Thanks

Thanks I will do a double take but that was the shop I seen for years but when go cart move into the spot it is gone maybe new location is close by.

Thanks, greatly appreciated, I surely can get one at BPH, from my regular Doctor. Now next step find that shop.

I appreciate the time to respond! I didn't mention anything about Ratanakorn market, not sure where that is? I had a sidecart for five years obtained from my Thai son friend I thought it was great to do handyman stuff in the local area. Looking like a Thai within the five I never got stopped, today it would be like 1% chance on the Darkside one would even if they are making a stink about helmets today. I also obtained a electric two wheel scooter sold to me for 500 baht, but I wouldn't use it for nights, lights are very limited which is my concern. The larger 3 or 4 wheels all seem to be limited for nights and I don't think they are even legal, I don't see any of them with plates. Reason if I can find a shop price is right I rather convert my PCX to a 3 wheel, I would go as far as getting a handicap sign placed on it, put a box in the back. Sometime ago, I saw a guy in immigration pull up in one really nicely done, with lights front and back extra, he had a box, custom holders from his two arm canes. If it goes unregister, I'm not too concern especially with police.

Reading it wrong? Not legal if modified, so why it can be register for first 5 years before it becomes not roadworthy? I would like to do the right thing but Thailand being Thailand and Pattaya being Pattaya? I have a 13 year old PCX 150, it has well maintained and kept up with me a number of times taking all the panels off and repainting the bike myself the KM range over 150,000. As the bike has gotten older so have I, although I have a number of vehicles I've found riding around in a scooter is by far less stressful when dealing with the self created traffic bottlenecks in town. But as the bike gotten older so have I, regardless of my training I'm thinking of modifying the bike for my own safety so that being the priority here in Pattaya, slim and none check points and once owning a sidecart for year which I thought was great if I can find a shop and have it done right I will do regardless if it is legal or not. If I can register it great if not I'm not losing sleep over it. Cost might also be a factor I've also been checking out the larger electric one's selling with longer charging range 3 and 4 wheels, even the ones that look like cars although I'm fit and alert family is starting to question the safety of me coming and going all over Pattaya on the scooter?

Idle minds of Thai leaders is a Devils workshop!🤣

Thanks for the replies, I see many Farangs nicely done conversion looks like if they have brought them new which when I google there are many but I've not seen them sold here in Pattaya. I never did but next time I see a person will stop and ask them that seem to be the best way. I also google saw a advertising sign Ozimoto but there isn't one in Pattaya as far as I know. As for legal or not, I believe the shop in Theppasit moved due to losing the location since the Go Cart opened up at that location. Behind the Big C, on Klang, lives a community of handicap Father Ray foundation that member possess modified scooter. I'm not too concern whether they are legal or not they are a reality here like sidecart which I had one, can't register unless you take the cart off which I did when I owned one.

In Pattaya area, years ago I noticed a number of shops one down on Theppasit another on Sukhumvit near Pattaya Klang that modify scooters rear axle to two wheels, fender etc.. when I look now they are gone! Anyone can help as to locations of shop who does such modification. Second, are they legal and can one still register the scooter normally year? Thanks.

My question is who were they preparing for?🤔

Which President is it? 🤣

Give him some credit! Maybe that was his intent to get caught he only had so many bills to do such a thing with marked bills then make a scene. Looks at it like this he was married to a Thai, milking him like a ATM, going broke, no way to even get home too scare to tell her he wants out. Thought process he figure why not the way they hand out sentences here he will admit guilt have him behind slapped. No money thereafter US taxpayer foot the flight home the way Immigration is being prosecuted and contested the resources he isn't really a counterfeiters who passed cartoon notes from the movies. Gangs killers are getting a free ride what is he going to get🤣🤔

I am well aware of it since I converse and clarify to you before about the time frame of the bank letter. And yes again I'm well aware that the ops is talking CW, but in general daily hourly every topic that is written members will get off topic, give your testy replies suggest members need to read, comprehend, stay in the line of discussion. 🤣 Since you are responding let me ask this question which is something I noted and the reason I responded in the first place. As there are 75 Immigration office some have millions,billions if not trillions of things to do and interpretation is different more so than other. As for the appointment system not relevant I didn't bring it up. As for 10 minutes remark I don't use the appointment system I just get myself up early enough so I'm first or so in line when my Q is called I have every duck in line just say it is a mental game I do to entertain myself what they might pull out of their butts this year. Plus as a student of body language, facial expression I try to figure what is next. But once Q is called it is interesting they flip through all the pages highlighting certain things over again to impress but regarding in the end pay my money given a pickup number out the door 10 minutes. When it comes to the 800,000 bank method, CW requires a yearly (12) bank statement monthly deposit as if one doesn't have 800,000 in place plus a letter stating confirming the account and amount of 800,000. I'm I correct?
