The 125 is meant to be the most popular Thai bike. The majority of ordinary folk have to buy on finance and an extra baht for a city run around may seem a price too high.

@Scotty ******

This bike is for his wife. I am sure he would like a 160 for himself over his 125. If he paid the baht extra, perhaps he could do a swap. He would certainly maintain and service the bike better than she did her last one. It's pretty frustrating trying to coordinate a scooter purchase from Australia, starting with the lying saleman today in the 'trusted dealership' then moving on to the Honda sites which won't open here.

@Jacob *******

I didn't misunderstand. My Thai mate phoned me from the dealer. Don't worry, I won't be taken to any cleaners!

For some weird reason I cannot open the Thai Honda site on the web or Facebook in Australia. I am also informed there are no price listings from Honda in Thailand. Totally different story with their page and information in the Philippines.

@Brian ********

That is what I thought.

@Jacob *******

?

@Gary ********

I don't get it. I'm 71 and bought the insurance online via a compare the market site. I paid even more last year. Somehow they must see me coming online and raise the price. No serious health issues.

@Gary ********

That's the one that cost me $260 for a month. And it is about the cheapest available in Australia. Travel insurance is now ridiculously expensive.

@George ******

If for a year, it's super cheap. I paid $A260 for a month in Thailand, and that was the cheapest comprehensive insurance available.

Yes, I have stuck to hotels since for long and short term stays. There are apartment buildings where you can legally stay and cut yourself a decent deal with the owner for longer term staus. I particularly like On Nut's KV Mansion in that regard. It's no fun staying somewhere that makes you feel like a pariah throughout your stay.
