Re: Police knock bars back to midnight-closing

Maybe this requires a new topic - similar, but not the police, We were in the bar last night when 5 guys in a sort of uniform (not police or military) came in, walked straight to the girl behind the bar and told her that ALL bars must close at midnight on orders from the governor in Prachuap. I tri...

Re: Health insurance for Thais

I think the guys will need a bit more info Andy. Does she mean insurance for travelling in Thailand? (I'm pretty sure their 30 baht health scheme only covers Thais in their home Province.) Or is it for travel abroad? If it's for visiting your own country with you I would say get the insurance on yo...

Re: Electric moped/motorbike

Not sure if you will find a true moped/motorbike with electric motor - hopefully others will know for sure. But those pedal cycles with electric motors are on sale. One place I've seen them is the bike shop on Petkasem just North of Bangkok Bank, and on the same side of the road. Yes, I think thats...
