Hello folks! Greetings from a Singapore rider! I've just arrived Chiang Mai after 5 days of riding from Singapore through Malaysia, then Thailand. I'm planning to stay for 2 nights here, although I've booked my accommodation for the first night only. I'd be doing the Mae Hong Son loop on my bike, but I've yet to plan the route.
Now, my bike is due for an oil change soon. As I'm rather particular about the oil I use, and coupled with the fact that I was unsure what to expect, I brought my own oil (and oil filter) along. I was wondering what the practice is here in Thailand - can I bring my oil and filter to a service shop and get them to do the oil change? I will pay for the labour charges of course. Is there a decent bike servicing shop that you'd recommend?
Actually, I have the necessary tools and can technically do my own oil change. Used oil disposal might be an issue though. But, if I could pay someone to do it for me for a reasonable cost, I'd rather not dirty my hotel's parking area.
Recommendations, anyone?
