What cars does the USA import to Thailand?

There are a couple of Mustangs running around town here. But you can import any car you want @ 300%.

Our Embassy in Bangkok has been reporting that for dozens of years, so far has fell on deaf ears, maybe not now.  But the US doesn't import cars from Thailand, as far as I know, only car parts.

I'm not sure it's item for item.. I'm sure Trump can put a tariff on all items that come into the US.

Last week I went for my 3 month Cardiology checkup. My bill is paid by the Government. I was told that I now need the Pink ID Card or will have to pay full rate next time.

My bill is B22,000 and I pay B280.  Guess I need to get the card.

Thank you for always posting the information.

I am registered in the STEP program, but they never send me emails.

I get no replies when I sent an email about my problem.

Try going to STEP and check to see that email updates are checked..

I have owned Macs for more years then I can remember. Buying the extended warranty is simply insurance. If it makes you comfortable, buy it. If you are an average user, you may want to consider the Mac Air.

Been a MAC user for more years I can remember..  Like @Unsane said, once you get the MAC basics you will never regret your decision.  A 27" screen is nice, but a college student may be better off with a MacAir.

Apple is due to release a new lower priced MacAir in June or July..

Where on earth did you get that idea??!?!?! Diesel engines are definitely subject to greater emissions requirements year-by-year in the USA, but they're not slated for the chopping block in any way, shape or form, in fact, the availability of diesel options in light duty trucks is better now than it has ever been, with options available from numerous manufacturers.

But then America is kind of backwards when it comes to diesel engines. Most car companies in America don't even offer a diesel option. But that Ford diesel SUV has every conceivable bell and whistle one could imagine. And it drives like a dream. A bit pricey but then you have to pay for what you get.

Thats because diesel engines are being outlawed in America due to emission issues. I think 2018 is the last year a manufacture can sell them.

Reading up a little  on the current state of GM Chevrolet in Thailand, they are going to drop saloon cars  Captiva and Cruze and concentrate solely on Colorado and Trailblazer much like Isuzu  do now selling only trucks.

They had sales of 10  million worldwide in 2017 buoyed up by China making them worldwide No.3 with VW 1st Toyota 2nd GM 3rd.

Ford US announced the same. They said SUV's and pickups are the majority of their sales and will cease production of most traditional cars with the exception of the Mustang. 

OP It's for your own benefit.  and Big C does accept it.

That said I'm contemplating switching from an Android box to an Intel NUC. I can put a basic model together with Celeron J3455 processor, 8Gb Ram and a 120Gb SSD drive running Linux for a bit over Bht10k. Will run Kodi just the same, but a bit more future proofed.

Good choice.. But the average user may not have this capability. Exactly why I recommend a reputable manufacture that provides a quality product like the Nvidia Shield. I paid B7285 delivered from Amazon. A bit pricey but worth the investment.

Bump!

 

Any new suggestions for best streaming media Android boxes currently on the market?

 

Pros/cons?

 

Essential accessories?

I just ordered the Nvidia Shield from Amazon. A bit pricey but rated the best for streaming. Amazon has it on sale with the gaming controller. Just $10 more so my kids should have some fun wit it as well.

The problem with the cheap Chinese boxes is they never update the OS and most run Android for mobile phones not Android TV. The Shield is currently running Android TV 7.1 and should be going to 8.0 very soon.

Parking in front of your house is legal, but they can not block your driveway/gate. Take pictures.

You need to file a police report. They will contact your neighbor and if they continue to do so will prosecute them.

CRV for sure.. 

If you earn money here in Thailand you will need to pay Thai Tax. Tax on your pension is payable in your home country.

The Gov allocates each internet provider a specific amount of bandwidth outside of Thailand.

Providers automatically cut back depending on traffic. That is why you will never get decent speeds to sites outside of Thailand.

Install P Traps on every drain pipe including the grey water ones as well. Don't for get the washing machine drain.

I would think you would have too go to a clinic or hospital to get those meds.

Some of the phones under B3000 may work on the 3G band in the US. 4G most likely will not.

Why not use his US phone? If the SIM is locked he can call the carrier for the unlock code.

All Thais, included my wife says  15/ 30 is adequate. 30/100 is available and only  $300 more  so IMO a no brainer.  I asked for 30/100

What exactly does 15./30 and 30/100 mean ?

Any other advise on the subject would be highly appreciated.

 

 

 

Check this thread. It may help..

From what I recall, Apple does not recommend MacKeeper. I also feel their marketing is underhanded.  JMO

OP, you are aware that in the last few weeks many builds have been 

taken down by developers who have received cease & desist letters.

 

Those same developers are now no longer involved with their work.

Right now it's prob best to wait it out until new developers start making

some new builds.

Alternatively try using addons from repositories that are still working

and create your own build.

 

I am well aware of those who stopped development. I am currently using the 1A build. I don't think these guys are going anywhere. The just released a lite version and a touch screen version.

Thanks for your input. I do appreciate it.
