  1. Yes …carcamkorea are very good. Bought the BlackVue dual channel from them in 2019 and haven’t had any problems with it. Earlier this year for another car I bought a FineVu also from them …it’s a little bit cheaper but does tell you about speed cameras, and it is also front and rear. Whatever you buy I would get one that records your speed as all car cams in playback mode make it look like you are driving quite fast.
  2. Skype is what I always use.
  3. I found this yesterday on an MB Forum that I belong to … No idea if there will be much interest but it might pass the day for someone …
  4. Try beIN sport …I use it for F1 but I see uk football games
  5. It's on now until the end of September. But I don't think Banyan (Pineapple Valley) or Seapine are included. We played both of those courses last weekend with a group from the golf club where we are members. The greens at Pineapple Valley were really good as were the fairways. Its a nice course but I honestly don't understand why people rate it so high. Seapine was probably more interesting, but the greens were not in a good state at all, and the rough ...hell ...hard to dig the ball out. And towards the end of the day the wind really got up. TBH I wouldn't make much effort to play either again but YMMV.
  6. Buy the best S Class that you can afford. Enjoy everything about it except the depreciation and maintenance costs ……..
  7. Reading all the comments seems to me that everything has been covered. There is really only one way that you will know, so go for it. If you don’t like the new configuration then change it back. We have low profile 19” tyres on our car, the ride is hard. I know many have changed to 17” or 18” with a huge improvement. I changed from RFTs to conventional Pilot Sport4 and quite an improvement. I wanted Primacy but they were not available in the size I wanted unfortunately.
  8. Yes … so do many of us, but you have to feel for the poor and there a lot more of those than there are rich.
  9. Car Cams tend to make it look like you are driving much faster than you actually are. Good idea to buy one that has GPS so your speed is shown.
  10. My wife bought a Mazda Lantis new in 1997. I think basically forerunner of the 3. We only sold it last year. I found the design of the seat ..sort of sport like…not at all good for long journeys.I had the suspension changed a couple of times, but the ride was just too firm. The Everest was a better ride, but of course somewhat newer.
  11. Have a 3.2L Ford Everest. The ride is probably as good as any body on frame SUV in fact probably the softest. My back is not too good but driving long distance I find it hurting less at the end compared to our car. Have done BK to CM several times in it.Usually stop 2-3 times for coffee/pee/and a little leg stretch.
  12. Now this motor was more than fun ...it was exciting...and when MrsJ was driving it was frighteningly exciting .....in its day it really was a monster.....
  13. So my will was written in 2007 whilst my wife and I still lived in the UK. I want to delete one clause and as the will is quite old thought that I would write a new one ..same wording as before ...but without the clause that I want to delete. I see that it contains the phrase ... I GIVE all my property both movable and immovable whatsoever and wheresoever situated (except etc ........As I have a Will of Thailand was wondering if that will overrule the wheresoever situated or should I put a full stop after whatsoever and delete the next three words. Am aware that its always best consult a lawyer but I believe that there are several on this forum so maybe one could comment ...
  14. I don’t think that I need any favours from Trans. Well maybe a little advice now and again computer wise now that crossy is not my friend … he blamed another friend of mine for the level 7 attack or whatever it was that shut AN down for a week some while back… it wasn’t him but never mind… so he said he doesn’t want to be my friend anymore ….. So it seems that some of you Pattaya guys are monied … how fortunate you are. MrsJ and myself have to get by on my pension and a little bit of investment in the UK. We do try to play golf three times a week and get away every 2-3 weeks….never to Pattaya though…Our house is not as big as the one Trans has, but it’s okay and we also have to get by with just an old SUV, E-Class and S-Class, so not rich like many of you guys seem to be…… I don’t normally comment on this type of post,or even read them. But when I saw how childish, silly and even nasty some of your comments are I made an exception. And I have to say, and choose my words carefully, since Darren bought AN do we really need to let topics that have degenerated as this one has continue…… Enjoy you day guys …………
  15. When I did my Annual Extension a couple of months ago now ...Nonthaburi asked for a new TM30 and I haven't reentered Thailand since 2014. Seems that maybe they are updating.
  16. Mr G_money… wow reading this post makes me think that maybe you are not such a nice person or maybe a little short of a full set or maybe even both. You have made some quite unpleasant comment and untruths about Trans. My wife and I visited him and his wife Pook a few years ago when we were touring the Provinces playing golf. I can tell you now that his house is not small, it is built in a quite decent size plot and has a lovely outlook across a lake. I know that when he lived in the UK, that was many years ago now it was in the London area and you are way off in suggesting his occupation. So give up your childish comments and untruths or many more will adopt my opinion if they haven’t already.
  17. Thank you ...problem sorted.
  18. Hi guys Does anyone hgave a phone number to contact them please ...
  19. They argue that Srettha's actions undermine the integrity of the government …. I didn’t think it had an awful lot anyway.
  20. Nonthaburi …haven’t left the country since 2014. Renewed my extension of stay last month.Renewed my passport about 4 years ago…..hope this helps PS they always send an e-mail telling me it’s time to do my 90 days
  21. I believe that white plates cannot be issued until the dealer has paid the tax on the car…he wants to hang on to that money as long as possible. My wife always registers any new can we buy. Many dealers charge for this simple process, and sometimes quite a lot.
  22. Well, I sent my request in last Friday, received the confirmation that they had received it later that day. Received the approval e-mail a few minutes ago …so working for me.
  23. We did play a course in that area many many years ago but neither of us can remember anything about it. Usually, EGAT courses have accommodation but sometime it is a bit basic although the food is normally okay. Ubonrat Dam course might be worth a visit and try the accommodation in the villa.
  24. My experience is that it is now much harder for someone like myself…retired… to open a bank account. I have been with CIMB Thai for many years yet they won’t let me open another account. I actually have accounts with three different banks, I don’t really need them all but dare not close as in the future I may need and maybe cannot open again. If you have a work permit then usually no problem
  25. Our local Bangkok Bank will supply a 6 month printout on demand …a 12 month one takes about 1 week.
