I'll move this to motoring, this is a Thai based VW site before anyone asks if it's Thai related

Thanks Crossy! I saw that they open new forum in English!

Cheers!

My Thai friend spent over 1 million bht for the wedding 800 persons (BKK) not include Sin-sord and other things...what do u think?

Not the best in the world, and by no means the worst. As with most things.

LOL, comparing with China .. I almost die there

my opinion, if you buy with big garment company, you can order it CIF to your location. Depends on how big your order is, i guess

My car is taken care by K. Chanat, the manager of TS Motor Garage (in BKK). Went there a couple times and quite impress on his work, PLUS he can speak English fluently. There's the website (Thai/English) www.tsmotor.co.th

if you interested in APR tuning, it's APR Thailand that you can find them in google. I think you will get more hps.

hey people,

I used to be quite fat at my height (177cm) So I decided a month ago to control and reduce my weight. I consulted with doctor and he gave me fiber and some vitamins, not the dietary pills, to avoid yo yo effect (weight cycling). Difficult but worth to try.. I recorded quite a bit in details in what I ate in the beginning of the past days.. hope this would be your guideline..

Hey people, I wonder who use Volkswagen especially Golf MK6 and Scirocco?? just found the community website for VW users and wonder it would be great if we can get together sometimes to network with other Thais who use the same car as us.

Check this out! www.vwsociety.com

You may see me there sometimes.. and i can assist you to register the website if you have any problems. just mail me...

To my mind, whether or not it is a good product, Chevrolet needed to be aggressive about the way it marketed it. Japanese cars have such a stronghold that to stand any chance of success, it needed to be impressively packaged and impressively priced. I can't speak to the packaging, but the pricing doesn't look great, and that's disappointing because it does look good and the Japanese could certainly use some competition.

100% Agree - It has to be on of the most mishandled marketing campaigns in Thai Motoring history.

Chev have a target of 1,000 units/month - my guess is they'll be lucky to achieve 10-20% of that. Now I'm just waiting for the PR that tries to explain away the production stoppage

I actually know 2 people who work quite high up in the chevy hiarachy (get a discount ) and you will have no worries about them only achieving 10/20% sales are very very strong already. and as for the marketing the tv ads are on nightly far more than for any other car

Motor Expo bookings were just 1,700 units (I imagine 1/2 - 2/3 of what Chev marketing expected), which translates to ~1100-1200 actual sales - and outside of the March/April 2011 International Motor Show, that's the best month the model will have, ever I stand by my prediction of if failing to meet the forecast of 12,000 units/year in domestic sales.

you just go to www.cruzeclubthailand.com and check for further details about Cruze..there are plenty of info down there ( if you can read thai lol )
