JAS21

Be careful putting a fully Synthetic enging oil into the two older cars ... good chance that it will cause the crankshaft oil seals to start leaking.. I wouldnt recommend anyhing other than Mobile 1 for the newer car. Yes,and as said above use a quality oi filter.

Can anyone recommend a reputable company please …Car is W221. … tks

You not only need to compare the model prices. Here both BMW and Merc come quite heavily loaded with extras, whereas in the UK,at least, the car comes basic and I can assure you the extras cost a lot ….but you do get to pick and choose what extras you want…here the car comes as is …little or no choice.

What a relief to see you… was worried that you may have committed suicide. Guess you also spent a little time dreaming up pointless topics to post…….

Types of car insurance in Thailand… https://www.roojai.com/en/car-insurance/compare/ unfortunately, the rest of your question cannot be answered with the information you gave. type of car, value of car, age of car, age of driver, etc. etc. is needed. As an example, we are paying 11,000 Baht for our Everest and nearly ฿50,000 for our E350e First insurance is a good idea as if you have an accident the rep from the insurance company who comes to the scene of the accident will deal with nearly everything for you….provided it is a reputable company

Worked for me now for a couple of years … you are talking out of your arse …

I have registered several car at Nonthaburi LTO …always used my Yellow Book …you have been here many years so will no doubt have one …use it

Look at getting the best and secure savings rates available. Also you might find that your wife can get better interest rates than you can. Interest rates are getting better, so have a good look around Also, how old is your daughter … she could help her Mother in years to come

And there was me thinking only half of your post was about Pattaya …. I’m a terrible person…. How many posts are you up to now … today.

Well I have first registered and sold cars both in Bangkok and Nonthaburi using my Yellow Book, so above is not quite true.

Go for it ...

Yep… you always have your little friend….

I agree with all that ...been married to my Aging Asian Babe for 21 years now ... every day is a good day ...even the ones when she is being just a little difficult ....phew

I think those videos could very well be produced more due to a financial incentive… Anyway when he disposes of his interest in AN he might very well be drowning in cash and cease production…. Thinking about AN I do wonder which ‘Marketing Genius’ decided to change the name from Thaivisa and also its content…….still it remains a happy playground for many and a useful forum for some….

A very searching question, you must’ve searched a long time for that. Keep it up Dan will love you….

I had a secured CC (100k) with Bangkok Bank for many years … but it was a real pain if I needed to query something. Two plus years ago now I got an unsecured CC with Citi … 160,000Baht …I just have to pay it off every month. It’s automatically taken from my Bangkok Bank account. They are so easy to talk to and so helpful. They have allowed me a couple of times to temp up the limit. After I’d completed the purchase I just payed it off … got me a load of points though. I’m retired, no work permit and 77 years old……But seems things are tightening up. I’ve had an account with CIMB for many years …wanted to open another higher interest account … no can do!

We’re those the ones in a tin, or nice freshly smoked ones …I am looking to buy the latter

Is that you GG …..

You will have to pay all the back years at full price.

My wife is a Thai National but also has British nationality. When we lived in the UK she never worked so was never issued an NI number. Neither does she work here in Thailand but does fill a tax form in every year. When I am no longer above ground she will receive a quite substantial (UK £32k) widows pension…wonder what will happen in her case. There must be many other expats living here in similar circumstances also a little concerned.

Hell …where have all the posts gone telling this guy that he could be off his rock ….

Our Benz came without any film … we asked for what they allowed to be put against the price of the car … then chose our own film … but have to admit the car was a bit hot for a few days ………lol

MrsJ and myself spend far more on golf than in the UK. We have ‘membership’ well actually it’s a share which we can sell. Up to this year we only had to pay for the caddie but now we also have to pay 100baht as well. There are several brokers …just google ‘buy golf club membership in Thailand’…. who will buy and sell golf club memberships. About 15/16 years ago we each paid 370,000baht for the share and now I see brokers buy/sell at 350k/400k. We try to play three times a week. Nearly all golf courses require you to have a caddie.

We settled on Daikin FTKM18SV2S units for our bedroom and the downstairs L-Shaped living room. Quite expensive but they advertised what I thought was a good SEER and as we intended to run them a lot considered that to be quite important. As it turned out we are running air con almost continually. They do wind down a lot and then use very little electric. It’s more than likely that other brands will perform basically the same of course. For the L-shaped room we did consider a central unit but in the end decided against due to supporting problems and the fact that it had a much lower SEER. We have found that less electric is used if we run both air con units togeher, rather than just one. And the one situated near the ‘L’ set half a degree below the other. Below is some Daikin information. Also electrical usage earlier this morning … set at 25C. The bedroom is about 6M*5M with an attached bathroom which has a slotted door. Also running a fridge/freezer and one fan in another room and of course the inverter.
