Re: Where to buy a car battery charger?

Actually that was the one I meant, sorry for the confusion! I have a similar charger and it does my truck battery from flat to being able to start in 20 mins, is I don't think you would have needed the bigger ones. My car batt is 60Ah so this little 3A charger will fully charge that in 20 hours but...

Re: Where to buy a car battery charger?

Forgot I took a pic of the store front. Its not the big hardware store directly opposite Big C (they no hab) but a little down towards the railway line. There is at least 1 guy in there who speaks quite passable english. I also should mention I bought a 150B multimeter there as well. (the only one t...

Re: Mothballing a motocycle

Depending how long you were talking about - months? I would probably disconnect the battery, drain all the fuel, up on the center stand and thats about it. Possibly an oil change on your return as oil breaks down over time. I'm thinking a bike cover would be a bad idea as a rat or similar could set ...

Re: Where to buy a car battery charger?

Bought one opposite Big C in one of the small hardware shops. They had 3 or 4 different sizes.

I got the smallest 3amp model for 300B.

Now I need some help from someone with Thai language skills (or a helpful wife or GF)

Can anyone explain what the switch on the left does?

Thanks a lot.

Re: Testing center Cha Am open/closed over New Year?

Thanks both for the directions. I went wrong lost time by turning left after the canal. Something we started doing on another Thailand forum is logging the GPS coordinates on Google maps. Its real easy - Locate the place your looking for, right click and save the 'whats here' coordinates that appear...

Re: Testing center Cha Am open/closed over New Year?

I want to look again for a shooting range a friend told me was on Hua Hin soi 6. Couldn't find it last time. That may be because it is not on Soi 6, despite what some insist is Soi 6. Cross over the bridge from the Klong Rd in Soi 6 and immediately turn right into Soi 4. Follow that Soi that goes p...

Re: Testing center Cha Am open/closed over New Year?

Thanks all. I'll take a look tomorrow or if not Fri.

Testing center Cha Am open/closed over New Year?

Hi all, Just a quick one.

Got to renew my licences in Cha Am and wondering if anyone knows if the testing center is closed or open during New Year? I heard some banks are/were closed.

Was hoping to get this little job knocked over this week.

Re: buying a car used

I bought a 15yo Jap sedan for 130.000 baht. Done 3000 clicks so far and it's running like a clock. The only problem so far is a broken ac belt due to a seized idler . Just took it in to have checked for tax renewal and it passed all the tests. I dare say if I sold it a year or 2 I would lose very li...

Re: What Age car for Vehicle Inspection

Ok job done for a total of 1770 baht. Pick up in 1 week. Just out of interest I couldnt find KS to begin with and checked my GPS - it showed up as KSC garage. Easy then. They gave my 15 year old Jap car the full check over - underneath, emmisions, brakes, hand brake etc. All monitored by computer. A...
