Why do some members disrespect others in advice groups for expats in Thailand?

Brian ********

Some people do that to boost their own egos. It's called being an ego maniac with an inferiority complex. It's a sad way to live, really.

oh you poor thing. You know, you could just leave all together instead of being so horribly inconvenienced. Simplify your life if it really stresses you out.

@Brandon ***********

how are they "burdening thousands of other people with their question"? Has there been an epidemic of broken scrolling thumbs that I'm unaware of? Seriously, instead of being jerks people can just scroll on. It's not hard or burdensome at all.

Are 125cc scooters in Thailand powerful enough to travel uphill easily?

Brian ********

You will get up hills, but not quickly. The real issue is going down hill on an automatic bike as there is no engine braking so you'll be on the brakes a lot. Be cautious of brake fade.

no. In Thailand you need a full motorcycle endorsement on your IDP. If you have a limited one in your country, you will not get the motorcycle endorsement and it will be illegal to ride any bike.

Has the Honda Click 125 been discontinued in Thailand, and what are the alternatives?

Brian ********

@John **********

just know that the motorbike is still available despite what you've been told. When I bought my Click 160 in August, they had about 8 or 9 125s in stock, but had to wait for the 160.

What visa options do veterans have for retiring in Thailand and how can they ensure a stress-free experience?

Brian ********

so what's stopping you from going? (The only thing you mentioned that concerns me a little is the health insurance, but I have a sizeable savings so I shouldn't have to worry).
