perhaps i should ask at the street stalls, thai style open air come-as-you are restaurants where i eat if they can do delivery after sms order. language may be an issue initially
Most of your groceries you can do on Tesco Lotus online so that would take away grocery shopping. Other items can be bought from Lazada. Ready-made-meals, I can't really help, but I am sure that in either one of the cities you named there are restaurants who deliver to your house. You can go to such place once, tell them your situation and come up with a number ordering option. Beu 1 = .... Beu 2 = ... or you could order up front for the whole week.

Even if you would happen to contact a GM at Ford Thailand, it's still only a GM. According to some very believable sources, Ford is going to stop selling sedans in Thailand for a while. The dealer not wanting to order a new car, might be because of the fact that there are no new cars. Check the date at the bottom of your seat belt. You can see when the car was made. I bet you it's made before July 2017.

It's interesting that noone ever mentions the need for QUALIFICATIONS [ie TRAINING] to do TESL. It's just assumed that, because I speak some or other variant of English as my first and only language, therefore I can teach it successfully to a bunch of dumb foreigners ...
Well, what an awakening awaits!
True actually totally slipped my mind. I hold a master degree in Japanese language and a BA in education. Your advice is probably the best ;-)

1)How did teachers on here find the transition from a normal job in the UK to teaching English in thailand (How hard was the beginning)
-> Teaching English in Thailand, is pretty much the same as teaching in any other country imho. You need to have the passion to be a teacher or you won't last. If you really think about it, you're preparing the Thai youth for their venture into the real world. Only teachers with passion for their job are able to inspire Thai kids to put in the work.
2) How hard is it now you've done it for a while?
-> I have been doing it now for 2 years. I do teach English and Japanese.
3) How do you find the working hours and the outside of class workload (Are you inundated with marking etc and have to take home?) .....(The 7.30 am start turns me off because I like to gym in the morning)
-> What time do you wake up and start working in the UK? Is it that difficult to go to the gym in the evening? If you have a decent planning and are used to working according to a schedule you should be able to find time to go to the gym. Especially since gyms are open until 11 PM. Nothing keeps you from going to the gym late in the evening.
4) Do you find yourself thinking about tomorrows classes a lot during the evening?
If you have a decent planning and lesson plan, there is nothing much to worry about.

I will be asking when I get back, I don't live in Thailand. Just thought a member would have a rough idea how much. And some kind member has supplied the info I need. Thanks for your reply though, I would never think of going out and asking in a wheel shop!
Technically you could come over to my shop near Kalasin ;-) We'll fit them for you.

Just assumed that only 25th it was newish. But I still recommend Toyo as that way you will get the correct parts and not some sort of copy.
Cockpit doesn't sell copies though...they stock both KYB and Tokico which are the OEM suppliers to Toyota.

We have imported a number of cars from Japan over the years: Toyota Supra, Celica GT-FOUR, Nissan 350Z, Nissan Cube, Toyota Crown, etc. It can be done, but you need a good agent.

I guess Toyota is 5 years or 100,000 km whatever comes first

All up to you, but in order to maintain some kind of warranty with Toyota you will need to service it every 10,000 km.

He sells good stuff at a reasonable price. Speaks a bit of English so quite helpful if you want some information

For safety go for a dual action polisher...difficult to make any mistakes.

Honda Leasing = loan company owned by Honda...not similar to leasing a car in Europe where you need to return it. The name is indeed a bit confusing.
The OP has a 5 year loan for his car. After 5 years he will own it. Therefore, better to forget about the leasing in Honda Leasing.
You can refuse anything you want, but you do need to follow the regular maintenance schedule from Honda. Normally their maintenance isn't expensive to begin with. Other parts such as tires, wipers and even brakes you can do somewhere else if you feel like it.

Looks more like the liquid from an air freshener...had it before on my old care too. The car wash people attached it after it had fallen off. Unfortunately they attached it on wrongly so it spilled and it stripped the paint straight off the dashboard.

Speed is the main cause of accidents, while we all know it's not merely speed, but more the DIFFERENCE in speed of vehicles. Everyone travelling along at 80 or 90 km/h isn't dangerous, but when a random driver decided to start driving 50 or 60 km/h on either lanes then people need to make a maneuver and then accidents happen. Would be great if the government could restrict usage of the highways to cars only during these holidays as large lorries, motorcycles, tricycles, etc tend to create more problems with making other drivers maneuver.

Finally now there is an easy way to hack your Honda and install any apps you want.
It also pay-passes your break, so you can play videos even when you driving.I have done it to my honda and it does not have any negative side effects.
Happy to help someone in Chiang Mai.
You mean root the system right?

Including that there quite a few PhEV in Bangkok...Didn't think SUSCO would be a forerunner on this though...would have though PTT as they are a major player in new energy technologies.

Obviously people saying the ladies are wrong don't even know about the situation. Every Saturday, Sunday it's impossible for them to even get out of their house from 3.00 in the morning until well past 2 PM. The noise, the pollution etc, is absolutely horrible. I get their point and I hope they win their battle.

Campaign seems over. It's 5,900 THB now.

Do you have a special coating on your car or do you regularly wax your car? If yes, I recommend a pH neutral shampoo (chemical guys, Gyeon, etc are all pH neutral). If you don't really care, then Makro, BigC, etc are good enough.
