  1. The 1million+ unlicenced (mostly riders) breathe a collective sigh of relief! Can't lose points if ya got no licence!
  2. Well its not a "major crime" but certainly any car will be pulled over immediaately and the driver fined in most western countries.
  3. I've seen police cars with no number plates...don't expect action anytime this century! This is the Wild West.
  4. Yes they sell a 3.0 v6 here If budget and fuel consumption is of no concern, it's a good choice. Otherwise the wildtrak will do just fine in most situations.
  5. Natural tone hair colour? One of my ex-students as a medical intern in a hospital had to dye her hair darker as the natural tone was not dark enough (but apparently ok for the doctors to have dyed hair). Seems we still live in the dark ages.
  6. Conveniently ignoring the fact that most of these unvaccinated are either elderly/immunocompromised. The vast majority of children are unvaccinated and should not be vaccinated. Also, continual mask wearing is not allowing the population to develop natural immunity through exposure to pthogens. Expect the flu and other infections to increase due to this, as we are seeing in the US at the moment.
  7. That's their problem then, and probably explains the number of pick-pocketers in London then. Thais are also supposed to carry their Thai national ID at all times.
  8. The actually drilling into the bone is quite painless and quite fast. I have had 2 done. There may be some discomfort after the operation, as the gum needs to be stiched and the stiches removed later. I'd much rather that this over a root canal (of which I'd had some also).
  9. Unrealistic sentences...no doubt copying the US system. Nothing strictly Thai about it.
  10. You speak like an antivaxxer....so what are the esteemed websites you reach out for your legit information? Post them here (no mainstream sites allowed). Let us decide.
  11. Try a suzuki swift if you just want to get around town with no fuss. Well maintained, the engine / drivetin lasts well over 250-300K kms. We jsut sold ours at 114k kms. We only changed the tires / battery / front brake pads / shocks (consumables) and air cond evaporator. Reliable and quite cheap to run. My wifes long term average fuel consumption (meter hadnt been reset for many 1000's kms) was 18.2km/l
  12. It's not 122NM actually. It's 173NM (about the same as the old 1.8 civic engine). My wife just got the city hatchback. It goes pretty well though I haven't pushed it at all. It surges forward suddenly it one is harsh with the accelerator. We had a swift 1.2 before and it destroys the swift in acceleration. Not too worried about longevity of the engine. It will barely do 7K kms between 6 month services anyway.
  13. Very few are dying from covid now. Those in hospital dying are dying "with covid". As a medical emergency, it is over. It should be allowed to run its course. Resistance is futile. Perhaps China is banking on omicron and its variants eventualyl disappearing.
  14. But they do need to get over it. And getting exposed to the virus is the only way to do it. Vaccination is only partially effective in this regard. They will eventually follow Taiwan.
  15. For shopping, perhaps just put it on the back seat. If put in the back of the truck, it will need to be put in serured box somehow. It may move around the bed of the truck otherwise.
  16. If its a"gooddeal" it's probably fake. e,g, China make both fake logitec mouses - there isa cheap version (bout 400 baht from a local come store), or a real one for double the price at a shop in central. They are close in appearance but there are tell tale signs one is fake - they 2 week battery life being one of them! Just buy razors at Tops or similar. Pay and get the real thing.
  17. Maybe they really mean"upcountry"....40M baht for 1 rai of flooded ricefield in Nakorn Nowhere.
  18. Still blowing that trumpet eh? lol As long as you think you are saving the planet, that all that matters right?
  19. Not in Thailand they haven't. Wanna compare resale with that in other countries? What use would that be? Most Japanese cars will destroy Chinese cars for resale hereover the next 10 years. No question about that. Buying a Chinese vacuum and throwing it out when its broken in 2 years is one thing...but a car? No thanks....
  20. Well, while warranty is still active, it should be. Personally I would sell a hybrid before 10 years or so. But in 10 years I would expect batteries/modules to be more affordable. I's avoid electric vehicles for a decade. I want t see more on long term reliability - a nissan leaf battery is 900K+ and good cat is 500K+.
  21. Just browse the second hand car websites to get an idea. Compare across brands that cost similar when new. Longterm reliability and resale of Chinese cars is an unknown at this time.
  22. There's no AWD in Thailand though. Acceleration is very average. Performace in better in the hond hrv or nissan kicks. If I was spending 1.2m or a car now I'd get the honda civic hybrid.
