Hi from Southern Thailand

Just to introduce myself, I go under the moniker recom273.

I live in Hat Yai, Songkhla province on the Malaysian border.

I hail from the UK, lived here on and off for 15 years now. I ride a Kwaka Versys 650.

Hat Yai is the 3rd biggest city in Thailand, if you are passing through or from Malaysia / Singapore you will come through Hat Yai, its an unavoidable city. We have pretty much everything you will need.

If bikers need a hand with the lingo or any questions, somewhere to crash or a friendly face .. then PM me.

Hi Recom273,

Welcome to the HUBB.
It is nice to know there are friendly people all over the world for a traveler.
Thailand is one of the places on my list of places I want to visit so maybe we'll meet some day.

Hi Recom 273,

Nice to know a fellow biker in Hatyai. I do occasionally ride to Hatyai and I normally stay there for transit whenever I ride from KL. Hope to catch up one of these days. Regards, Azuar

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
