That's probably true, but the only problem is you have to drive a pickup truck. ????

That's because they only started to put exclusively Turbos in recent years. No one knows the long term reliability after only a few years data. For example, all 2018+ Honda Accords have 2.0L Turbo engines. Higher pressure, higher temperature, faster wear. It's basic physics, not my opinion or heresay. And you're right, I won't be taking a chance with a new car. There is a 100% chance the value of the new car will decrease 60-100K baht as soon as I drive the back wheels off the dealers lot. ????

Currently have a 2014 Suzuki Swift GLX "top of the line" Ecocar that I want to sell. Low mileage, 82K km and excellent condition. Want to sell or trade it in for hopefully 200-250K. Want to upgrade to something a little bigger. Price limit below 500K (not counting trade-in value of Swift). My wife says no to Toyota Yaris. I agree. Had a Gen 1 Yaris back in America in 2008 and it was built a little too cheap, same issue as Suzuki Swift. Also says no to Toyota Vios because discontinued. Is it really that bad buying a discontinued model here? Does that make parts hard to get or do the local Thais just not want something that's discontinued thinking they must have discontinued it for "a reason"? Also don't want a Turbo engine, Honda is putting those in all their new cars (City,Accord,etc) because unknown long term reliability. Ideas... 2014-2018 Honda City V+ Honda Civic sedan Toyota Corolla Altis Honda Accord (yeah right, dream on) There's a 2017 Honda City located about an hours drive from where I live in Chiang Rai for 469K with only 47K km "one owner", but the car is from Bangkok. My wife thinks cars from Bangkok aren't a good buy, maybe from driving in all the traffic or possible fender bender accidents, not sure. Opinions? And no, I'm not going to buy an old European car like a BMW or Volvo. Those are rolling money pits for maintenance. Honda is bad enough requiring periodic valve adjustments, 555. Also, can Farangs get credit for a used car if they only have proof of foreign income, not local income in Thailand? Or is there a bias against giving Farangs loans? Do they prefer giving loans to rice farmers with no income vs a Farang with only foreign income? Sure seems like a lot of people around Chiang Rai have expensive trucks and cars. All of these people pay cash or have good income streams? In America they give a car loan to almost anyone who has a job and can fog up a mirror. Thanks in advance.

They can see Moscow from Sarah Palins house up in Alaska if they squint. ????

Some students renting out a house near mine asked me one day when I was walking by, what kind of phone do I have? I just held up my Samsung and smiled and walked away in shame. ????

There's good people and bad people in every country. Saw a 20 something (probably) Russian woman riding a scooter in Krabi in a thong bikini with her ass exposed. She was one of the good ones. ????

As can many local workers. If you could really "do the work properly" (that's only your opinion not a fact) then why are you here asking for advice? ????

Why on earth would you "DIY" in a country where workers make $5-10 a day. Good grief, that's cheap Charlie. ????

I've seen a grand total of 2 homeless people this year. How on earth do these horndogs find each other? ????

OK, he's got the trendy Uncle Roger orange polo shirt like all the kids are wearing. But he forgets about one thing. ????

Suburban Pattaya sounds nice ????

I think you mean educated, hard working immigrants who know how to successfully run businesses unlike the uneducated locals. Who tend to be racist and jealous of the success of the immigrants. ????

Even Honda had problems with CVT transmissions. https://youtu.be/xMmUvfnZIJY My 2012 Toyota Prius C CVT was fine however, but I sold it a couple years ago when it had 161K on it and bought a used Honda CR-V without a CVT transmission, just to make sure. ????

Nope. You didn't understand what was in the link you posted. That's only for "death" or "permanent disability". Grab offers "up to" US$2,000 reimbursement for Accidental Medical Expenses. That's anywhere between B0 and B68,740.00 or only £1,660. Hope they don't take you to private hospital when you're unconcious ????

Rule #1 NEVER NEVER NEVER DRIVE A MOTORBIKE ON THE ROADS OF THAILAND Rule #2 Don't buy policy from <deleted> Insurance company. Which you wouldn't even need if you obey Rule #1. ???? Life is a risk "casino", you take your chances and "win" or "lose". If you can't afford to lose, don't take the risk.

Kiddie Wine. ????

In America pedophiles are usually "taken care of" by other prisoners in prison, because a lot of prisoners were abused as children and they're considered the lowest of all "ranks" in prison. ????

Sounds like uhhh quite an "operation" you have going there, pal.

Or protect them with biometrics, such as fingerprint scan. ????

Which bank is it? Why isn't it named? Seems like that's a fact, not an opinion. Hmmm. ????

People staying up all night dancing and drinking to "take the edge off" generally are "on something" a little stronger than soda pop. Shooting fish in a barrel. ????

In Krabi they seemed to think any change left on the table was a tip. That was at a Chinese owned "resort" around B1200 a night. In Chiang Mai at the B4000 a night hotel, they also took some 20s in addition to the change. I assume that was owned by a "higher class" of Chinese who probably paid the employees even less. They were honest. I had over $200USD hidden in my bag I forgot about that was untouched.????

58? Doesn't look a day over 88. ????

Maybe your country shouldn't start a war and murder and rape civilians if you like your jets to have working parts on it, comrades. ????

Nope. 97% agree while just 3% disagree. Tiny, tiny percentage. Probably as small as their tiny little shriveled up noodles, the old has been geezers. ????
