Been looking for a car (our first in Thailand having arrived 6 weeks ago) and am torn between a ISUZU D-Max Hi-Lander and a Ford Fiesta.

It's for me, my wife and our 18mon old son. We have a fairly low budget but can get a 2011 Fiesta (90,000km) for the same price as a 2005 Hi-Lander (140,000km).

My maths seems to say that the ISUZU is cheaper to fuel, less likely to break over Phuket's potholes, bumps etc, safer for my son in the back, great for carrying our mountain bikes (and anything else - it has a canopy), better in deep puddles.

Having said that, the Fiesta's much newer, more refined inside and easier to drive simply because it's smaller.

Trucks must be popular here for a reason. Can the majority of people be wrong?

Thoughts / opinions / advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks again. I found them this morning. I'm a graphic designer so can't comment on their helping with a design but the guy in there was very helpful, charged 300 baht for 150 and they were ready 30 mins later.

Cheers,

Thanks N47HAN. Is the 'main' Tescos, the one on Thep or on the bypass road towards Bangkok Hospital Phuket?

Thanks a lot

I'm pretty new to Phuket (less than a month) and am still finding my feet.

I live in Chuan Chuen Lagoon and need to get some business cards printed. Someone suggested a small 'shop' in the basement of Big C, but the space is now something else.

I'm only after 100 or so.

Can anyone recommend where I can find somewhere to have them done? Are there any malls that may have a concession stand type printers?

I've found one place in Phuket town but they charge 7 baht each for a minimum of 1,000!

Thanks a lot,

Mike
