  1. Well this is good news for me as all the money I intend to bring to Thailand over the next few years has been earned before 1 Jan 2024.
  2. The white ones are hard to find and get snapped up quickly and they are more expensive. I get the impression that Thais dont want black either when it comes to used cars
  3. Its a Mercedes and they offer only two colours, black and white. And most Thais choose black.
  4. Yes a respray would be a better solution so long as you can find a good garage to do the job
  5. All the models of a SUV I am looking at are black. Hate the idea of owning a black car. Reminds me of a hearse. Is a wrap a good solution. They always look good when new but after three years? I was quoted 65,000 for a metallic full wrap using Inozetek on a mid size SUV.
  6. Is it possible to grow it in a large pot? We irrigate all of the garden so Im thinking of a way to keep it dry.
  7. Noted. And the rule about online check in not available for agency bookings.
  8. Brianthainess is correct. The finance company has the Blue book.
  9. I am looking at a used car that the owner has under finance. My understanding is that they would use my money to pay off the finance contract in order to get the Blue Book to transfer ownership. Has anyone gone through this process?
  10. Thank you. We do water the lawn that surrounds the tree twice a day so it is getting a lot of water.
  11. Our Pomelo was planted about a year ago alongside a number of other trees that have grown well in our rather poor soil here in Nakhon Nayok. The Pomelo is our only fruit tree and is not doing well. Fed it with chicken manure six weeks ago. Maybe we need to feed it with something more nutritious. Any suggestions? Watered twice a day.
  12. Planning trip to Shanghai in April but TG all full. Airasia flight times inconvenient. Next direct option is China Eastern or via Taipei with my favourite airline Eva. Anyone care to share their experience with China Eastern. I understand BKK-Pudong is operated by Shanghai Airways.
  13. Looking at family coming to visit from the UK in Christmas 2024 and taken aback by the prices for economy seats, LHR/BKK Cheapest option using flexible dates EVA £1,448, TG £1,415. And this is returning 14 January.
  14. From a very wealthy well connected family (Muang Thai Insurance & Democrat Party) but thats just a coincidence, surely?
  15. Driving to Trat tomorrow. Google maps offers two routes, same distance and time. 1. Routes 33 and 317 2. Routes 3245, 344 and 3 Which is the most comfortable/best maintained route?
  16. We moved into our house last year and have had constant problems with smelly drains. On investigation we found none of the showers have P traps. So in the process of digging under the house to install these. But one thing i discovered talking to a number of plumbers is that no one understands the need to vent a drain. Our house has no vents. I may get the plumbers to install air admittance valves as impossible to install vents. I'm interested to hear from people who self build whether this is something they specified in their build.
  17. Have a look at Globality, Luxembourg based insurance company for expats. I've been with them for about 7 years but no claims to report. Prices are better than April and you have the advantage of EU insurance regulations not Asian. https://www.globality-health.com/yougenio/world/. Our policies increased by about 10% this year which is the largest increase we have had over the past 7 years. Normally, excluding increases for age group, increases for inflation were about 2% per annum.
  18. Looking for advice on a combating mosquitos with chemicals. I am considering a combination of Pyriproxyfen and Bifenthrin for a half rai garden using a backpack agricultural sprayer. Plus mosquito dunks. Not interested in organic, home remedies. In Nakhon Nayok with no neighbours.
  19. What about the Volvo D5 rather than T8. Slower but a less complicated drive train.
  20. In the install manual there is no reference or drawing showing ventilation emd_series_filter_system_usual_manual_english.pdf
  21. Yes, you would expect all the components to generate a lot of heat inside that watertight box. But does include a pump in the base for water ingress/leaks.
  22. Emaux have a full filter/pump system that is supplied with a fibreglass enclosure that can be buried. Anyone with experience of these systems?
