  1. They may have come in infected, and holidayed and then recovered. Then tested negative on departure. Covid ripped through China where most people in large cities became infected ina short period of time. I would wager a large number have been infected and recovered before they travelled. As it is, we really don't know as they are not testing all arrivals.
  2. Most youtubers living here would be Thai. Why do you think this is just about foreigners?
  3. The rest may have drums or the rear if they are oldder models. This must be the only regular pickup in Thailand that has rear discs.
  4. I've never seen or heard of a farang arrested and deported for workign on their private (residential) property. That is not what the law intends. It intends stopping people working on other people's properties, hence taking away work from Thais who would normally be paid to do that work.
  5. Do you have any health conditions? Have a compete health check first, including a blood workup and heart checkup. If everything is fine, just eat healthful foods and get some exercise every day (or 5 days a week at least). 30 mins a day. I would start here first, before going of a diet. And if you go on a diet, can you maintain it over a long time span?
  6. It should be no problem getting another motor for it. How aaabout getting a quote for rebuilding the current engine?
  7. Is it the k20 engine model, or the first generation 1.8? The engine swap is quite cheap actually. It will be a second hand motor but should be OK. They should give some kind of warranty with it. You won't get much for a non-functional car, so it probably needs fixing anyway. If its a k20, how about get a k24 from an accord and put it in? It would cost more but it would have more grunt.
  8. The part you quote is for the civic 1.0 turbo. It has a different engine. Code. But is the timing belt different? I can't seem to find the part code for the P10A6. The prices I quoted are from the service schedule on the Honda website. I would be shocked if you use non genuine parts from China.
  9. I've seen these ridiculous prices. Most of it is labour charges. In Thailand the timing belt should be replaced every 100K kms (so cetrainly Honda TH recognises it should be replaced). The belt is 1040 baht. Total service charge at 200K kms is 11153 baht and 8961 baht at 100k kms. Nearly 5K is for labour so its a faily big job to do.
  10. I suspect the queue (for delievery) may be quite long for the yaris. Normally you will need to make a booking for a test drive. Fortunately, we got a test drive when we took our crv for a service. There was a queue, but the first customer hadn't arrived at that time. Aside from delivery time, also consider what discounts there are, interest rates, and freebies. I also recommend getting a cermaic coating and also under coating, whatever you get. Our dealer does both of them when we get the service (same for the crv).
  11. Perhaps tourists leaving stuff in a taxi is a rare event in itself.
  12. My wife has a city turbo. It's quite fast and could do with a brake/pad upgrade. Hard acceleration and you will ehar the 3 cylinder thrum. But its not that annoying. But higher speeds its fairly quiet. It could do with more insulation though, as sound creeps into the cabin. That could be done at an audio shop. We got the city in 10 days from booking to delivery. It was the only honda that could be delivered quickly...the others were waiting due to chip shortages. I've not seen any reports in city facebook pages about problems with the turbo/gearbox. The main complaint I've seen is the paint chippign easily from stones. Early cars had small rust problems here and there. I haven't seen that on my car. I've not driven the ativ so can't comment on it. By reports, it has more gadets so ma represent better value for money for some people. But the acceleration, as one would expect, lags behind the city. The brakes are btter on the ativ, as it has rear disc (unless one gets the city hev)
  13. How about you wait for this video evidence to be produced. She has already lied about the vaping...
  14. She has already lied about knowing how to use a vape. This video has already been shown in the press. So hy not lie about evrythign else? I try the Police chief as much as her though, so hopefully the RTP will also show these videos at the checkpoint.
  15. Never heard of liver flukes? They are common in raw and undercooked crabs, fish, shellfish. Perhaps it explins why Thailand had one of th highest rates of liver cancer in the world....it not just thelao khao!
  16. Undiagnosed heart disease can take lives of sports men and women. So it can't be ruled out, unless he has regular heart checks.
  17. Has there been any change in performance? Do you often drive in the city or on long runs on the highway? Perhaps the dpf is starting to clog up a bit. The "best" b7 is "premium b7", but you don't need that for your car. I assume you are not using premium b7 though. You could try solething like HKS direct deposit remover, or somethign similar. I've seen some companies actually removing the dpf and cleaning it. But of course, there could be other reasons for poor consumption. What does the dealer say?
  18. You have a ptoblem with holidays? Ask government school teachers how long their holidays are (10 days + publicholidays). Private schools are different (about 8-9 weeks + publich holidays...chillin lol)
  19. Connections with immigration smooths her work, surely. You want a retirement visa easy? No problems!
  20. The wont...and don't, have natural immunity though. Immunity in the population builds up over time. The xbb.1.5 variant has been detected in China, which largely escapes vaccines and past infections. So don't expect their waves of infection to be over anytime soon.
  21. Ask the dealer and a few tents to make an offer. You will then want to sell it privately. My wife rcently got a new honda city. The dealer offered 140-150K for our suzuki swift. Sold it privately to one of her colleagues for 280K. Dealers and tents will shaft you. It's easy to sell to a dealer/tent, but how much of a loss are you willing to accept?
  22. The standard masks do little to nothing for the current variants. Just look at China, Japan and South Korea.
