I bought a 1 year old Swift in 2014 for 395k (GA model with a nice body kit and wide wheels!) from a family member. I recently sold it for 220k with 125000km on the clock, never missed a heartbeat in 10 years. Apart from regular dealership maintenance, new front shocks fitted. The dealership was excellent in all aspects, including price of servicing. I highly recommend the Suzuki Swift and the recent new model looks even better, I'm tempted to replace it with a limited edition Swift model but ................. Having a test-drive in the New 2023 Toyota Yaris Ativ Premium Luxury with a Presto body kit fitted is tempting me away. A far superior car for the money, even though it's a little sluggish but a good looker. My days of pedal to the metal passed many moons ago and I rarely do any trips above 50 km so it will suit my needs, just that little bit bigger wheelbase than the Yaris . The new Swift is a stunner with a body kit fitted!

Oh for the good old days when there was none of this social media nonsense!

Recently went to a bar where cigarette smokers had tables set outside with ashtrays, a few metres away from the main bar. Vapors were allowed to chimney within the main area, impossible to see clearly from one side from the other! I detest the smell of cigarettes and think they should be banned from anywhere public, even outside, if people have to smoke then do it in private. I also believe that vaping should have similar rules, maybe allowed in open areas but certainly not in places where they'll be crowds of people or inside. I'm not totally against vaping or any type of smoking, it's an individuals choice but not in my face thank you.

I recently bought my missus the Xiaomi redmi note 11 pro 5g from Banana IT in a local mall. A young sales assistant asked the missus if she needed any help uninstalling unwanted apps and transferring data from her old iPhone 6. She then asked me (in extremely good English) if it was ok for her to go ahead and sort it all out. There's not too many apps pre-installed, some can only be de-activated while many can be uninstalled. It took the young girl about 15 mins to complete and the missus was well happy! I could've done it with the language changed but it was easier for the girl to do it then I wouldn't get the blame if something went amiss! A very competent young lady, well impressed. Oh, the phone is superb for the price. In fact, I'm seriously looking at it to replace my Huawei Y9 that's getting a little old now.

My front yard is Malay grass. It's in full sun and thrives, providing it get a water every few days. The only dead patches are where there is full shade (under the mango tree) and where my female dog decides to have a pee! (not the missus) Malay grass is easy to maintain as it 'creeps' so the runners soon cover dead patches or destroyed ant nests. A light trim in the wet season once a fortnight and rarely touched during the dry season.

If you really must use a pc instead of a mobile device then download Bluestacks 5. It's an android emulator for a pc. Download your apps from Google Play that you want and view / use them exactly the same as you would using a mobile. I mainly use it for Lazada as the mobile app has advantages over the pc app so I can view it on a larger screen! Also many messages on the Lazada chat can only be read using the mobile app. By using Bluestacks 5 I can read them on my pc.

And the dumbest idiots are still not wearing them!! That said, it's a personal choice and we're all idiots anyway depending on what side of the fence mask you're on! Oh well, life goes on ... or does it?

Please correct me if I'm wrong about this: You must have a UK bank account to open a Skipton International a/c. They will only deal with U.K. banks ...payments in/out if you are in Thailand.

I agree it's worthwhile if needed. Add the cost of £1.20 for every letter received + £1.20 per page if scanned across to you.

Hi guys, hoping for some factual info for this! I've got a UK friend who wants to re-marry his Thai ex-wife (Why I don't know but somehow, I think it's got to do with her money). She's in agreement with the idea but she's presently dealing with a family situation 500km away so he wants to be prepared for when she returns. Anyways, he thinks he can go back to the Amphur he got married and divorced in with their divorce certificates and re-marry? Somehow, I don't think it's going to be that easy. I reckon, he's got to re-do the whole marriage procedure from scratch. Your knowledge would be appreciated.

It seems to me that the majority of those that have successfully obtained a 'yellow book' and 'pink' Thailand I.D. card find them useful. Those that haven't or have been unsuccessful find it a waste of time and effort. Different offices have different stipulations. TiT. Sometimes it's just luck on who you are dealing with. IMHO, both documents are useful to have but not a life breaker if you haven't.

This morning done a 2k transfer at 6.30 am. UK bank - to Bangkok Bank. Reason for transfer: Monthly living expenses. Estimated delivery date: 2.13 pm Thai time. Last month I done a transfer in the afternoon ... Hit my account 3 mins later.

If you're lucky it's a blown head gasket and not a cracked casing. It's definitely coolant mixing with oil. As others have said 'get it checked' and fixed asap.
