The math checks out. ???? The OG Soi Cowboy was a Brother who was an American GI "castaway" from the war in Nam. Legend has it he rode a horse around. In Bangkok?!??!?

Don't be silly. What will all the government ASEAN officials have to TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK about at their VIP meetings? ????‍????

My wife from CR province claims this much burning didn't happen in the past and is a relatively recent thing. She claims there was more rain, earlier. I'm guessing that's FALSE because: 1) You don't notice things like that when you're a child unless your parents are reacting to it. Saw her parents last weekend, they weren't wearing their masks indoors with the screen doors open to the 300-400 AQI dirty air outside that looks like snow. Like the air inside your house doesn't come from outside and is cleaner because MAGIC, 555. 2) Your brain tends to forget the bad things and remember and enhance the good things from your past. For example, I remember this one porn scene that I hadn't seen for maybe 15 years and I saw it again last year and it turns out my mind "edited" it and took out the boring parts and made the "good parts" better. ????

Kebabs? Don't think that's what Thais call meat on a stick. Of course it fits with the arrogant Whiteman telling the locals what they're calling something is all wrong and they know better because they've been to Morroco once on a holiday. ????

Do the Han Chinese even know that the Chinese Tai people are the largest minority group in China? And that this minority left China to settle in an area now named after them? And that wealthy Chinese people basically took over commerce in Thailand and integrated themselves into government of Thailand and now basically are the wealthy and most powerful 5 families in Thailand? ???? Read a book sometime, Chins*! *The Chins are a group of people who invented the mass produced cross bow technology that enabled simple peasant rice farmers to be deadly accurate and surprise surprise surprise the rest of China adopted their language and even named their country after them. Same same, but different. ????

And a few really don't want to understand you. At [South American Jungle] Coffeeshop... Me: Ao expesso yen wan noi krap Worker: Ao Latte mai Me: Mai chai Ao expesso yen wan noi krap Worker: Ao Cappuccino mai Me: Mai chai. Khun put passa Thai dai mai Weirdly enough, I got severe diarrhea and joot joot'd 11 times after I drank that espresso yen and had to go to the emergency room and get antibiotics. I'm sure it was just a coincidence. ????

Are you British? You ever read that hot mess called "Shakespeare"? Using his/her is a relatively recent innovation in the English language according to a Cunning Linguist. ????

My wife told me essentially the same thing. "Our cultural tradition the big vehicle takes care of the small vehicle". Amazing you got actual work renumeration. ????

So, you're not allowed to give your wife the phone number of the zoo and tell them Mr. Lyon called? Asking for a friend. ????

Are they ticketing Russian trollops for riding on motorcycles in thong bikinis yet? That really annoys my wife when I look at that. ????

Yesterday, a 14 year old on a motorcycle hit my car. I was turning right, had the turn signal on well in advance and the motorcycle decided to pass me on the right. Their excuse was "why were you driving on the correct side of the road if you wanted to turn right? There was no room to pass you on the left" Slow down and wait? What the hell are 14 year olds in such a hurry to die for?!??!? ???? No helmet and no drivers license for the motorcycle driver and passenger, another child. I on the other hand, had an International Drivers Permit (the cop wasn't even interested in seeing it), and insurance and my seat belt on. Lucky for them, only minor road rash and concussions. Well, no ticket for the 14 year old. No ticket for the adult owner of the motorcycle who gave them the keys. The cops did confiscate the memory card of our car's dashcam for their "investigation". Well, looks like they learned their lesson.... "You can get away with almost anything here". ????

So, how's the swimming at Patong Beach? ????

Sometimes late at night I wish my head was smaller. ????

I'd advise you to see an Optometrist and get your eye prescription updated.

Hey, maybe they're saving money by not including heat vents and just using freezing cold air at high altitudes. ????

Amazing how many International Banking experts there are here. ????

Hmmm. I wonder where they got that fashion idea from?!? ????

Yes! If I was wealthy ????

Thai rain dance? Could work. ????

If you read the link there's oil dilution on every single engine in every single car available including non Turbo engines. It's only an issue if you don't warm up the engine enough. The 1.5liter engine does have issues under those conditions. You're saying you're 100% sure the 1.0l engine isn't based on the design of the 1.5?

It depends. ???? How many minutes/km are you going to drive it each way on your typical day to day drive in it? If the answer is "not long" and "not far" then there's one reason to think twice about getting a Honda with a 1.5 liter turbo... "Oil dilution" in a car where the engine never warms up fully. https://vehiclefreak.com/did-honda-fix-the-turbo-engine-problems-of-2020-and-2021/ Like the article explains every car suffers from oil dilution if the engine isn't warmed up fully. My last job was only 13 km away and it only took 10-15 minutes each way. Driving a 6 cylinder Toyota 4WD FJ Cruiser got 6.3 km/l. But when I drove it on trips of 30-45 minutes and maybe 75-100km, I got 9.4 km/l, a big improvement. When the engine isn't warmed up, all cars get lower fuel economy. If you don't do longer drives, I'd recommend the Toyota Yaris Ativ. It still has a normal aspirated engine that can better handle oil dilution issues. I initially was attracted to the Honda City, but was concerned about the reliability of a turbo powerplant. Then I started considering used Citys, 2017-2018 that were before they started putting only turbos. But those cars hold their value in Thailand even though they have 50-100,000 kms on the car and I would only save about ฿100,000 and would have to take a chance the mileage wasn't altered or it was flooded in Bangkok or involved in an accident that was covered up with good quality body repair with well matched paint on any repairs. So, decided to get a new 2023 model with 0km in it. Already put down a ฿3000 deposit for one and it's anticipated to take 3-6 months for the dealer to get one, that's how popular they are. There's a simple reason for that... Cost. 2023 Honda City SV ฿665,000 2023 Toyota Yaris Ativ Smart ฿594,000 So, right off the start you're saving ฿70,000. And at the Toyota dealership I went to they offer a ฿15,000 discount if you pay cash. Maybe Honda will do the same...? I owned a Gen 2 Yaris Hatchback and it had a very basic look and feel. It also had a weird center console instrument cluster, which is different. But Thailand's Yaris ATIV is a Gen 4 Yaris that's a 2nd Gen ATIV that's undergone a major style and equipment refresh. The boot (trunk) is about 3 times bigger than Gen 2. Also it now has a "low to the ground" more sporty feel (only appearance, didn't test drive it). I'm sure the Turbo has a more peppy response when you step on it. I test drove a 2017 Mini which had a Turbo engine made by BMW and it was very peppy. But I don't need that. I'm not driving on a race track, 555. Where I drive there's so many traffic lights you don't need to go abovw 80km/hour because you're just going to have to stop at the next traffic light. The new Yaris ATIV is the leader in Eco cars in Thailand and they're planning on exporting it to 35 countries. https://www.bangkokpost.com/auto/review/2447852/toyota-eyes-top-thai-spot Top of the class. https://www.bangkokpost.com/auto/review/2368780/top-of-the-class

You're right in some vehicles it is stored in multiple places, including a BCM. The full name is BCM ECU. "BCM (Body Control Module) which is found in all production cars wherein it controls the immobiliser, indicator unit, power windows, ORVMs, steering mounted controls, and all other peripherals wherein the body of the vehicle is involved." Seems like a weird place to store the Odometer value, but OK. We never used that term before on the CAN bus at the automobile company I worked at. Each ECU was just called a "node". Each node sends out messages on the CAN bus with it's data that other ECUs need and also for diagnostics on the OBD port. And apparently even if it's stored in multiple places like on BMWs or Mercedes, it's still possible to change. I think this is highly unlikely this is a common practice here in Thailand. Sounds way too complicated. ???? https://youtu.be/VF62lZD3XPg

You're a consumer, not a SME engineer. By the way, engineers in the automobile industry test drive vehicles they design. And they have access to all the issues that come up during testing. Consumers don't. Engineers know what they are talking about. ✅ I'm sure you have a brain, but you don't know how it works like a SME brain surgeon does. That's the difference. ????

In America they have something similar but the guarantee doesn't mean that much. Read the contract, a lot is at the digression of the dealer whether or not it's covered. Every car manufacturer can make what's called a "lemon". How do you know in Thailand if that car isn't a lemon? I did see one "tent car" dealer claim you could drive one of their cars "free" for 60 days. If true, that time period would certainly help evaluate whether there were any major defects. And in America they have to tell you if the vehicle was a "fleet" car, which means it was leased or even worse--used as a rental car. Doubt they are required to do that in Thailand. And even if the previous owner was a private individual who purchased it new, what kind of person sells a new car after a year and takes that kind of financial loss? Someone who isn't very business savvy. People who are business savvy are focused on making money, saving money and investing money. Cars are not investments. People who are focused on spending money and showing you how rich they are tend not to be very financially smart, let's put it that way.

I'm a SME on EVs. You're not. Engineers don't make decisions based on opinions, they make decisions based on data. None of the cars in you bought were designed and built by people with "opinions", they were designed and built by Engineers. You already admit you don't care about the facts, only your opinion. I'm posting the following link for intelligent people who have an open mind and want to learn about the facts from educated SMEs who are Engineers working in the automobile industry: https://engineerine.com/why-are-chinese-cars-so-bad/
