  1. thank you for the great advice - much appreciated, not to sure what filter you are referring too though
  2. Interesting post as I was going to ask what system would people recommend. The website you posted is in Thai but Im not to sure if they can help with my Toyota being 2009 model. I also couldnt see any info about price so I will let my gf take a look at it as she is thai. The only other place I have come across so far that offers this service is this place:- https://www.facebook.com/bigasth/ It looks like a quality installation place and the price isnt too bad approx 40,000 baht, the local thai mechanic quoted a price of around 30,000 baht but I dont know what equipment they would use. I will welcome any views, opinioons or insights Cheers JAF
  3. I settled for a Toyota Camry 2.4v with 130,000 kilometres for 220,000 and will keep it as stock for now. Thanks to all for the info, much appreciated JAF
  4. if only you were selling one of them. I prefer the 2014 model 😉 You are right, the kilometres are very high and the motors ive looked at with low kilometres often have several owners which suggests somethings amiss but we have a mechanic helping us so we think we will be okay
  5. My vigo is a diesel, my lady doesnt like it anymore and it would be nice to drive something much more comfortable.
  6. Im interested in purchasing a Toyota Camry or a nice Honda Sedan with the intention of converting it to lpg to save on fuel consumption. The models Ive been looking at are around 2009 - 2011 and they all have 2.4 engines with relatively low mileage (130 to 195,000 km on the clock). I dont change cars often - my Vigo, which I will sell, has been with me for over 15 years. At the moment I dont drive too far - maybe 10-20 km per day but every 2 weeks I like to visit the coastline around 300 km there and back but I do intend to travel more. Does it make economical sense to add a lpg system to one of these older cars or am I inviting trouble by messing with things I dont quite comprehend. Can someone point out the perils and the pitfalls Appreciate your advice JAF
  7. many thanks to the posters who offered advice that I needed, much appreciated
  8. thank you for that informative reply and you are probably right, Im better sticking with the devil I know than the devil I dont know residing in Pattaya ????
  9. cheers for your reply - much appreciated and I agree, its simply a case of better the devil I know than the devil I dont. The agency has been reputable and well known for offering Thai Visa (.com) and they told me that the costs have increased due to shennanigans of the chinese who have arrived on illegal visas and that they must charge more to ensure my visa. As you said, they are now holding me hostage but at least others will learn a lesson from my tale.
  10. I have been living here for umpteen years, was married and i do have the money but not in the bank. Im in the south but the visa is stamped in Chainat
  11. I have been using the same company for 3 years to do my retirement visa. The initial cost was around 18000 baht and the following year I was told it would cost 14,000 but when it came up for renewal they asked for 16,000 baht. I bit the bullet then but this year they are now asking 18,000 baht for the renewal. I also have to pay another 500 baht every 3 months for a 90 days notification renewal to be sent to me What are the going prices for these services nowaday? Are their prices reasonable or am I being held hostage?? Feel free to message me with any personal recommendations Thanks guys
  12. to be perfectly honest, not enough to justify the drama. As a previous poster said he should just let it go and move on. I buy from Bangyabong, he is a decent guy and thats good enough for me
  13. knowing the care and attention that goes into cultivating and finally harvesting I think 150-200 baht per gram for top quality kraft is fair
  14. its like with farmers, if you buy direct from the source its cheaper but once "big" business gets involved those prices jump astonishly high but they surely cannot stay at those prices for long if we all keep buying from the farmers instead.
  15. Thais rely on the hive mind and when it buzzes they all think they know something you dont, instilling their lack of knowledge and paranoia into anyone who cares to listen. Dismiss it and carry on
  16. much is made of veterans and upto the 2nd world war I would agree that their cause was just and honourable. But once we enter the realms of Vietnam, Iraqi and Afghanistan, my sympathies quickly evaporate because so much unwarranted sympathy is given to the imperialistic invaders and their "ptsd" and not to those that had their homeland attacked. If said "soldier" was an active combatant in Asia then why would he return to the scene of the crime and expect anything less? I have more respect for those who patrolled the streets of Belfast and made it home without ever killing innocents and theres not a single British soldier worth his salt who would lose the plot over multicoloured water pistols on a hot summers day
  17. I stand by what I said - no soldier would ever be triggered by plastic water pistols squirting water, the mere notion is ridiculous. A snowflake would fare better at Songkran but it knows not to visit as its going to melt.
