Thanks, they had this vacuum cleaner thing, I thought thats strange they don't usually hover the inside of my truck when they service it. ????

 

They certainly done something the cooler dial was at 9 o/c on low fan and it was very cold. 

I turned it lower to half way between 9 and off. 

Before the dial was always on 2 or 3rd fan position with cooler dial at 12 or 3 o/c.

The engine filter was a right mess too. 

I will change that a bit more often in the future.

Glad! same with my Yaris after it was cold after years starting to get the same now I take it to independent recently to charge it is a bit better but guy told me if not time to clean again. 

From my experience you can't just take it and get it recharged.  After a few years depending on usage especially here outside of Bangkok lots of dirt roads you got to have it cleaned. 

My 2006 Yaris was such a case,  I went to a number of independent shop at one shop they were cleaning a Vios basically the same to get to unit they removed the entire dash it was crazy the parts the number of screws laying everywhere to clean what look like a small radiator. My concern was   even when they put it back would it be the same I had nightmares about rattles and shaking.

One day at the Toyota dealer guy said your A/C needs service for sure it wasn't as cold been delaying while doing more research.  I ask the guy how do they do the service takecit all apart?   Guy said no walk me over to a location dealers have a special vacuum that flushes the unit with a cleaner solvent replace filter if needed if do they bag it for you to see it was replaced and condition same always with the other filters. I was sold although years back thatcessctge around the cost pretty much what the independent shop wanted difference the whole dash comes off.

You come on a public forum and boast about acting like an irresponsible idiot, endangering life to 'get your own back' like a kid challenged in the school yard. I can see why you've been jumped by Latins and Irish. I've never had an altercation in my 74 years. Ever thought you might be the problem?

KY

What it comes down to is that you're a thug ready to run into rather than away from a fight. That can get you killed in Thailand, as I'm sure you know. Which is why you ran away scared from the other motorbike taxi drivers.

Barry, this is the second time I've had a run in with you. 

Think about this ever think you might have a stick up you rear? 

You might think about pulling it out so you not so uptight.  I can see you at 74 why you have never been in an altercation you might be pretty fast on you feet even at your age. 

If you weren't so hot all the time might have noticed I said young! 

See not everyone can come from the perfect environment stuff shirt like yourself you don't just turn off the switch and run all the time or be the better man like yourself.  

I came here like you in peace growing up in an environment family resources as your have been reading lately Chinese Grey business in spite of resources I've not gone out of my way looking for trouble in another country but when corner I don't shy away from it. Prior to the triad stories many Chinese like myself have been here a long time that includes many of my family from abroad like my brother our philosophy we live in peace but we don't run from trouble and when the time comes those who come looking better come prepare.

As for being jump when I was young prior to all the knives and guns I was representing my school in a Basketball game the Latin team  was loosing bad Guess they didn't like a bunch of Chinamen coming into their house showing them up.  As for the Irish/ItalIan's 

that jump me they waited each morning waiting to take our lunch money to go through the park it was the shortest and quickness way to school on time I got tired of walking extra 2 miles each day.

I gave you a few story because not everyone grow up like you in your Lilly white world so get the stick out your rear and don't lecture me here because you too Y stand up for yourself.

You have to wonder if they would have acted the same way against a fellow Thai. Actually, we can guess the answer to that, can't we.

Not sure?  Years ago I was leaving Walking Street and got on my bike parked on 2nd road around 2 am traveling down like 30 K/H just before Tha6i a motorbike Taxis comes out of the Soi straight at me I didn't have a clue how to say in Thai " look out " I was able to avoid him our mirror clashed. At the intersection he stopped starting saying " what what " words exchanged next thing I know he stomps on leg Muay Thai style not once but twice I start to get off my bike he takes off.  I catch up to him without stopping I take my bike basically popping a wheelie On top of his bike and knock him over.  I get off my bike walk over to him while he gets up with my full helmet still on I head butt him right in the face broke his nose wide opened he was in a dazed. I came to my senses looked around at the corner a few motorbike taxis just standing and stirring I slowly got back on my bike and got the hell out of there before they find out I'm not one of them. 

Not a Asian thing a thought in big fights outside my own race growing up I admit getting a few extra kicks in for good measure. I've been in situations I've been jumped by Latins and Italians Irish.   You just never know?

Well, that is the form I used to renew my passport at travel.state.gov website and forgot to check the extra Large box. The default is a skinny one. 

No problem I missed the part you Renewed in the States and not at the Embassy in Bangkok, at the Embassy there is no such choice.

Is that the Big Joke? ????

The form shown is foreign I don't remember ever being ask or check off. You can go to the website and get contact and ask yourself.  Embassy you can't get extra pages any longer as noted all renew PP comes with the extra pages.  

As noted I made an appointment in September for a renewal of my passport at US Embassy in Bangkok. 

It had to be mailed back I purchased an envelope for 100 baht just outside the citizen service went back in handed it back given receipt noted 3 weeks, less than two I got an email notifying it is being sent out that's a me day it arrived.  Unless there is a backlog reason 11 weeks? 

I also noted need letter for transfer of stamps to new passport told standard.

I went to the US and got a new passport. Of course, my mistake I did not check the number of pages (for a thick passport with more pages) and got a skinny one. I will get a new one in the near future. I don't travel as much as I used to. So not in big hurry. 

You must be mistaken just got mines renewal in October same with the one before which was ten years they only issue one book there is no such thing as thin!  Passport being issue ALL have the extra pages reason it is standard.

This is what I've done over Five years now for Jomtien just Renewed end of January. 

I go to Bangkok Bank at 3pm,  make a deposit once recorded I ask for the letter 100baht,  I get a receipt for that hundred baht had a date and time but I've never had to use it. 

My theory is 24 hours from the time I obtain the letter and time applying for the extension which is always the next morning. I'm usually the first 3, I've never been questioned about the letter Based on the time I'm applying. 

Time will tell!   It will most likely go the waste side of the same No Parking on Soi Buakhao in front of Tree Town.????

I doubt that it is illegal to be no more than the owner of an establishment that is being operated illegally after hours by others such as the management of the club who were arrested.

 

If the owner wasn't physically present, illegally operating the club, what do you think that he could be charged with?

If that Is the case all the grey business, closed down,  share holders arrested property and money taken from the Chinese triads their case should be throw out and everything returned. 

I wonder these thoughts their orgin?????????

Take it to another they are dime a dozen!  A buddy years back took his vehicle they said his tires stuck out a bit too much that prior will need to get a whole new set of rims and tires. I went outside took a look said I'll be back in half hour have my coffee and breakfast ready ordered off the menu.

Half hour later back pick up tomorrow after 4:00pm.

One year ago I had both eyes done in Chiang Mai at a private hospital. 45,000 baht each eye (everything included, only have to wait one hour  before being allowed home) you have to wait a minimum of one week between each eye. The doctor was really honest with me, she said I could get it cheaper elsewhere but the quality of the lenses are not all the same. Post op, for 24 hours you have to wear a patch over your eye, after this, wear a shield at night time for one month. Sunglasses recommended in daytime (in fact she said everyone living in Thailand should wear sunglasses) Hope this helps

what hospital and Dr.  Name would be great

They are Buddhists and believe in Karma and Reincarnation. No need to be upset.

Not sure how correct that is?  

My parents are Buddhists although not Thai,  Chinese all show emotions and they believe in Karma and Reincarnation. ????

Several years ago in the Bangkok Post one of the heads of DLT,  stated there is nothing wrong with the designs of their roads. 

Then you got head of police with this type of thinking which actually exist throughout their leadership. There was an accident 10 years ago a Porsche driver 120 km/h went down a Soi, tops 50 would have been unsafe a girl 16 step off the curb struck cut in half there were question of course about the speed the head of police had no problem with it because the technology of vehicle today are better. 

You look at some of these accident in Thailand not in my live time can a car be build here or anywhere that would prevent such negligence driving habits. 

Look at the damage here,  truck crosses the center,  most likely we'll above any speed limits the truck following assume pedal to the metal not looking ahead enough. 

I've driven nearly all corners of Thailand roads regardless of the poor designs if taught the basics one can still navigate safely.

The best thing for this country is to scrape the whole system and start new with an outsider in charge.

On another note a friend of mine having trouble with 90 report on line with a new passport. What passport number do you put in if you entered Thailand on the old passport? With the tm6 

 

New Passport need to go down report in person thereafter it will start working online again at least this was my case.

Maybe the Totoya has some special features?

Guess she thought she do a reverse Red Bull?

No, not really. I just read "hearsay" in what I've read. Most of the article is poorly written. 

 

For the sake of clarity, besides the author of the article (and nobody else directly involved... apparently), what convinces you that somebody else is responsible for this crash?

What convince for the sake of clarity article are always written poorly. Who else involve? The motorbike rider going the wrong way took off lift her for dead.

We can always say it wasnt written well things were left reason so we assume no clarity so how is it so clear and convincing to you but to other it isn't?
