Thing you could have done next is stand up and walk into the Isuzu, Mazda, Mitsubishi, whatsover dealer next door.

I hope, everybody spread the word to the world. So, they lose all the tourist.

 

Double pricing. 

And what do you think they charge 10 times now....the tourists stay away already. Less customers, higher price, a typical example of Thai "logic". And that was the reason that the boat guys in Krabi went on the barricades. It will get worse, trust me.

Expect this to get worse. Only a small piece in the puzzle, the depleted national reserves, the recent discussion about alcohol and petrol tax increases, the double pricing sanctioned by the government, the so called cleanup of corrupt officials to get more of the money....they run out of it and further screw ups will only be a question of time. They are world champions in foot shooting, 2 at the same time, after all.

Your point is what?

People go to Sizzler for the salad, <deleted>?

Thanks., I was not aware of that. Which is a good thing :)

Don't think it is worth the import price. Go to the next "Krauter" workshop and they will fix it for you.

What's a BMT?

After looking at the photo, it got me thinking...Is that a re-con cucumber?  Only a billion Kg of cucumber grown every year in LOS, and a supertanker full of vinegar.....yet, pickles are more scarce than dog meat, and mustard much more scarce than skin-whitening cream.

Why would they have Cucumbers in Supertankers if they have no Harriers on Supercarriers? Just thinking... :)

That piece of cucumber is cute :)

The spread between renting and buying is in the moment crazy in CM. meaning you pay a fraction of rent on what you would have to invest to buy. Something like a whole house to rent for 20k/month whereas they want to sell it for 10m. It's not realistic, nobody would buy it, but these are prices being asked. 1 Rai of land goes for 3mTHB alone which is completely crazy. You figure.

Edit: sorry MadMac: not trying to be harsh to you, you actual contribution has been positive on the whole vs some others. Yeah, the back carpark exists. I've been parking there for 4 years but it's now too hard to get into. 

nah...it's ok, was just making some fun out of it, Pantip parking is actually only in the basement but there are plenty of other options around. A good place to park :D

... and no car parks upstairs.

That may be because parking is in the basement :)

I got pulled on canal road about a week ago for an illegal turn...

Shame on you, you probably blocked the bloke coming from the other side :D

Pantip was a sleepy warehouse, maybe it's a good move. Existing businesses are moved up the floors and the fastfood chains and BigC may drive more people coming there, good for everybody. Parking wise it's a gem in the city anyway, just nobody knows.

Of course it could not have been a Thai! :D

The funny thing about the IDP is it is only a translation of your license, and it's not even in Thai. No one tests for it.

Yes, that is exactly what it is supposed to be. Why would you need a test for it?

I mean that cough masks every other clown has in their face. N95 is too sophisticated for Somchai :)

Main thing, buy some of these stupid masks and wear them wherever you go. Even though they are completely useless :)

There are also some car accessory shops in the BigC Hang Dong Rd (not the one further south) if you park inside, parking area, not inside the mall. They may have or may get the color for you. But as I wrote before, I'd just look out for a workshop that deals with Mazda repairs.

Have you just recommended a service you have no idea or experience with?

Something like that, wife usually crashes the cars, we have 2 Chevies, Sonic and Optra, the latter is somewhere in Nakhon Sawan ready for pickup after repair. My BT50 still untouched, knocking on wood.

You can always take a bus, Nakhornchaiair even has "air" in its name :)

There is a pet shop on Canal Rd, if you drive south after Mae Hia on the left, besides 7/11, before the Royal Flora junction. They stock some anti flea and tick stuff like Frontline, but not sure about that specific brand. There is another branch on Hang Dong Rd, after Kad Farang, same side.

Probably that color stick would cost more than the paint job from the local Somchai :)

They are already doing that, lots of cameras around.

 

 

Yes, and the bill arrives in your mailbox.
