You can solo on one, at least my Honda Click 125i seems okay .. up Inthanon is fine, as Samoeng loop and such. I’ve ridden mine from Chiang Mai to Hua Hin, CM to Bang Saray and down to Khamphaeng Phet several times.. I think the trick is to be sensible with the speed, I never ride faster than 80 km/h, much easier on the motor and drive train

and didn’t immigration catch a Indian bloke recently who overstayed a mere 2900 days or some such..? Can’t imagine he’s only getting a three year ban.. 555

it’s true, I tried language classes as well, and it wasn’t working.., my wife would teach the odd word but not much really, but as a patient observer, I have picked up enough to be able to eat, drink buy stuff and argue with a policeman .. 555

I’m a older guy too, and I’m the same.. if it matters that much, let the missus deal with it, she runs the whole box and dice anyways...

thanks mate... I think you get to a point where you lose motivation and find that level where you can exist on comfortably.. Most of us with get to that and muddle through the fine points. 99.5% of us will never get to the level where we could comfortably discuss banking details or legal matters, it’s stratospheric to us

My uncle was stationed in Germany when he was with the British army. My aunt, a schoolteacher, spent the four years there, and following years back in the UK, learning German.

She called it “a challenge” which means she had a tremendous difficulty with it.

my wife always said to me not to speak too much, it confuses them and a farang speaking only a little Thai is more “narak” than being conversant.. When I learn or figure something new in Thai I try it out on the bride, and if she doesn’t fall on the fall in gales of laughter I know it got it right..
