Intending to buy a new Mitsubishi Pajero on finance.
DavisH replied to The Fugitive's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
This car is for sale 250-300K on one2car.com Don't accept 100k for it! If possible, get it fixed as cheaply as possible (not a dealer, don't go there). and sell it privately. The diesel version will certainly be more fuel efficient. -

The swift cvt is known to be good for 300K km+ with proper maintenance (info from an independent suzuki garage). Ours is at about 140k kms and nearly 12 years old. Only ever replaced the air cond evaporator and normal servicing done. It certainly cheaper to maintain than our hondas.

Do you know what your tyres are telling you ?
DavisH replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
we changed out our wheels on out swift at the start of the year and got 7x16 wheels with 205/50 16 michelin pilot sport 4. the tires were like 20K set but the grip is so good in wet and dry. Yes after about 40K on the swift, the tires get hard and more noisy. Its worth changing them at that point. -
Has anyone done a masters degree in Thailand?
DavisH replied to Chris Daley's topic in Higher Education in Thailand
The POINT is that is a Thai degree is useless, you couldn't use it for further study in a foreign university. MY wife did PhD in Australia based on her degree. Many Thai professors in international programs here also have their graduate degrees from overseas. -
Thailand Birth Rate Nosedives: 81% Drop Surpasses Japan
DavisH replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Not when 40 million are over 60! The current fertility rate is far below the optimal fertility rate of 2.1. This will cause major problems in the coming decades. -
Perhaps check out the earlier mazda 2 (around 2012-2014)- especially good in the manual version. There were gearbox issues with the fiesta resulting in a class action in Thailand (unless you get the 1.4 liter version. We have a 2013 suzuki swift that is very cheap and reliable to run. My son is drives it daily to go to his university. We've not had any significant problem with it, aside from having to change the air cond evaporator several years back. check out facebook market place. Plenty to choose from there.

Mine will do this too. Exercise will dilate the blood vessels, so BP may even dip below normal temporarily. Some may get a rise in BO, but I found for me, its would cause my normally high BP to lower for a while. But since that time, I started using BP meds.

When I got my crv, they also said the center of the wheel, but this is not in the user manual as far as I can tell. They said it can go deeper but should turn off the air cond. I've only been through "deep water" once, where many sedans were left stranded on the side of the road. For most ICE sedans I really cannot find any official information from manufacturers. It's mostly for pickups and PPV's and SUV's.

Thai Police Hunt 'Foreign Gang' Who Defied Law in Viral Video
DavisH replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They do look Asian, which means there is next no chance they will get caught. I assume the public outrage is that they show their tattooed shirtless torsos in public! They must be dealt with !!😄 -
Musk's support of Trump will jus reinforce tariffs on Chinese EV's in the USA. The biggest loser will be US citizens through lack of choice of EV's. Must doesn't care as he is making money out of his Chinses Tesla factories.

Bangkok Motor Expo shifts into high gear to rev up bookings
DavisH replied to webfact's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Sales are really slow at the moment, judging by the number of red plate cars on the road. I saw only 5 or 6 in 3 hours of heavy traffic from Ratchaburi back to Bangkok last weekend. I see maybe only 1-2 every morning going to and from work. Aside from changes to lean rules, people who want to get a new car are still wary about EV's and sudden changes to their prices. The are holding off until the market price is more stable. Fortunately, I won't be looking for a new car for another 8-10 years. -

Oil recommendations for Honda Accord 2003 V6 3.0L (Gen 7)
DavisH replied to tomster's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
You can do a search on https://www.b-quik.com/ Put your car in and the year, and the recommended oils come up. I just changed oil in our suzuki last week and put in the shell helix ultra. B-quik I think is a bit pricey. You can shop around and maybe get it cheaper. The accord v6 sounds great with a sports exhaust btw.. -
What's interesting is that I know someone that literally hasn't done the 90day report for years - yet the immigration office still grants them their non-b extension. Every year, year on year. I think they may have made one report many years ago, then just didn't do it after that. I wouldn't recommend that course of action to the OP though. Better just to go in and pay the fine, as getting caught will cause a higher fine.

You "fee' discrimination daily". Poor sod. Your nerves must be shot to bits. Thailand doesn't owe you or me anything! -
1240 pounds is only about half of the payload of current diesel "1 tonne" pickups. The people to buy EV pickups will mostly be 'lifestyle' drivers who usually just put their shopping or small items in the back. At the moment, I don't see them having a commercial use.
-
"Modified EV" sets lap record. Now they need to run a standard car around. This car had a gutted interior and race slicks. A standard car should be close the the tesla plaid with trackpack, that is 30 seconds slower. It's still a very impressive time though.

My implants were Straumann done 2-4 years ago. they were about 60-65k with the crowns. Mahidol University Dental Hospital. I don't know their current price.
-
Around 60-65K at Mahidol University Dental Hospital (Close to Victory Monument). This is using Swiss implant material. The professors did my work, and mostly in the evenings or the weekends. You may get it cheaper elsewhere and with cheaper materials. I should add I didn't need any bone graft or 3d ct scans.

Ya better talk to the transport department, not us ICE fan boys. I decatted a car, have ultra dark tint, installed leds and an insanely loud exhaust. Passed inspection with flying colors. Keep suckin on those fumes lol
