Might I suggest you go to http://mocyc.com/market.html . This is the largest 2nd hand motorcycle site in Thailand. You'll be able to compare your bike to others to get an idea of it's value, and also find a buyer if you choose to list it there.

I can get a breeze going through mine, so windows open is much cooler. Given current pollution levels though, it's doors and windows closed, with air purifiers and fans or aircon on.

Yes well aware of that which is why I was asking for a comparison between the Forester and the new mu-x, not between this year's and last year's mu-x

There is no Onyx with the new model. It was a limited edition version. The new version of the MU-X looks lovely, it is still however a truck (body on frame) and not a car.

How does the Forester compare with the news Isuzu Mux Onyx...Anyone with any views?  Also what is the price of the Forester?

 The MU-X Onyx is is the outgoing model, based on the previous D-Max. There is a brand new MU-X appearing on the market right now.

They are very different vehicles. One is a modified diesel truck based on the D-Max, the other is a passenger car.

The Forester pricing details can be found here:

I recently got a Forester, and quite like it - roomy and comfortable in the front and back, good visibility through the large windows, and some nice safety features. To me, the Cross feels more cramped, but as you say, it would be great to have a hybrid, and the Forester doesn't have a hybrid option.

The Forester is more comparable to a CX-5 of CRV than to the Corolla Cross, and in that regards offers excellent value in Thailand.

For space, safety, and actual 4wd  capabilities, the Forester can not be beaten in Thailand. For a Hybrid small family car mainly used in the city, the Corolla Cross is a good choice. For singles/couples who don't need quite as much space, but value a touch of luxury inside and ever so slight sporty feel (the only one without CVT too), go with the Mazda CX-30.

It is worth noting that the claimed weight of the Hybrid Cross is only 60kg more than the non-hybrid variant, at 1,380kg.... which is also similar in weight to the CX-30. The 90kw combined hybrid engine is a lot less powerful than the Mazda's however, which explains the sluggishness when over-taking.

Stir up the memories to return to the iconic backpacker haven of Khao San Rd from when they first visited.... oh wait.

People get themselves commercially inked with tattoos taken from "indigenous" cultures all over the world. Whether you think this is appropriation or something else, it's not going to change this.  People get tattoos for many reasons, some of which will just be to look cool or show off... although they will probably not admit as much. The way I see it, there is not much point in worrying about something you will not change, it will just do you more harm than good.

It's actually quite a funny clip. Not because of Ryan Reynolds, whose humour is like nails in a blackboard, but Betty..... she's hilarious.

Have you thought about starting a pillow stuffing business?

300 Baht charged to tourists. Deduct 290 baht 'administration fee', and then the remainder will cover all those pesky uninsured tourists who are bankrupting the country.

Business was bad, but many were in survival mode until some government officials allowed migrant workers to cross the borders in exchange for bribes. With the current closure most hotels and restaurants are now without any income and the gov isn't interested in helping out in any way at all. Wanting to build bridges, buy submarines and so much more things Thailand DOES NOT NEED NOW for billions of dollars... while claiming there is not enough money to help the people.

 

In the meantime these same officials and politicians get paid as usual and find more rules and regulation to squeeze out more money from normal citizen.

 

 

 Hey Hey Hey! It's not only the Government Officials who allowed the migrant workers in who are responsible. You are also forgetting the Government Officials who allow gambling to take place, and the Government Officials who turn a blind eye to prostitution. Credit where credit is due, please.

Was in Mae Sot over New Year. Almost no tourists, restaurants and shops closed down like in other parts of the country. At the new bridge they built recently, there was a huge line of trucks (easily over a kilometre long) waiting to cross the border however. Not sure how this was managed. Did they change drivers or even trucks when moving goods from one side to the other? The queue suggested that there was at least a Covid related management process in place causing the congestion. 

Small issue. He admittedly it was a mistake and apologised. It's not like he is one of the anti-mask nuts who go around tormenting service and retail workers. Move on.

I am not an anti-vaxxer. I'm fine taking the essential shots for example, but think an annual Flu shot ay my age and fitness level is unnecessary. This 50% efficacy thing from China is something else however. First it was ~90%, now they are saying 50%. So how we can we be sure that's even right? If things turn for the worse, there will be zero accountability, of that we can be sure.

I'm not a fan of big-pharma, but, yeah, nah, I'll be waiting for the UK/German one thanks. By far the lesser of the potential 2 evils here.

Didn't she used to work at Living Dolls A-Go-Go?

By clarified, he means made a complete u-turn, as is the norm for many of ill conceived policies and ideas that spew forth from the corrupt and incompetent. 

He's 48 at the moment, so it's now or never.

The nature of my job means that I may need to be available for calls outside of regular office hours. In exchange for this, I am afforded a degree of flexibility with regards to my working day. Working for a company that recognises those who are flexible or put in a little bit extra is a win-win for both employee and employer. If you are not afforded this kind of respect, then you should look at what needs to be changed to get it.
