Are you one of these fake teachers you speak of? Your English is horrendous! The VAST majority of Thai students study under Thai teachers and NOT foreign teachers. Poor O-Net results have nothing to do with foreign teachers.

off topic

No it doesn't.

This government may not see out the year....

Wrong about what? The price? I used the swiss implant material. You may see Khun Manop. He does the implant. He's Thai-Indian.

Correct. My dentist said he'd decide that once he opened up the gum. No expensive 3-d ct scan was done. I think the graft was something like 10-15K baht. As it turned out, I didn't need a bone graft (even though the tooth had been missing a few years.

Are you a teacher by any chance? You seem to know a heck of a lot about Thai schools if you are not.

Yep my phone was from 2017 lol

Go to the press if you are not satisfied with the school's repercussions. The school won't be named for obvious reasons, but word will spread as to which school it is. School's always want to stay out of the news for issues like this. Try Amarin tv.

My Bangkok Bank app stopped working last month, as the app now requires android 8 or higher. I had to get a new phone and go to the bank to reset it. But if your atm / debit card is not working, that's another issue.

He won't be going anywhere near a court. He's not in Thailand anymore.

k20type R motors are very expensive. you will be looking to 150-200K; upper price with a 6 speed manual. In your position Id got for a k24A2 from a Japanese accord/odyssey. The civic really lacked mid range torque, and this will more than fill the gap. It would be more driveable at normal speeds than type r engine that will like to be revved.

well our standard city turbo is quicker than out old k20a3, and 50% better fuel economy. The cvt in it is fine.

We sold ours in 2019 and got a crv diesel. Problem with this civic was the air cond compressor. And fuel economy was just 10 km/l, But the engine and gearbox were fine even at 250k kms. We serviced in at the dealer until 200k kms. The new owner still has it and drives it daily. Maybe just get a compression test done on your engine first. You can get a bit more hp from a full intake, exhaust and remap. This is if you are on a budget. If not, drop in a k24.

I have a rough idea of prices for engines...about 65K for the k20a3 (I assume you have the es civic 2004-06). I had the 04 car. The k24A2 + 5 speed from Japan has around 200hp or more and 95 to 115K baht. I think the engine should mate up to the standard 5 speed auto, but with manual it should be fun. I don't know anything about who can do that in Chiang Mai though.

We bought a suzuki swift in 2013..in 11 years i just had to fix the air conditioner evaporator. Most services are 1000-2000 baht. Its MUCH cheaper to maintain that than our honda city or crv. Fuel economy is 19-20 km/l even after remapping and modifications.

A lot....at the Mahidol University dental hospital, the queue is at least 3 months long for implants. I've had 2 done there, about 60K each. People with money do this kind or work. The queue is so long its not even practical to get root canals done there, as multiple visits are needed. Being toothless makes one look poor lol

we remapped our swift to run on e20. The standard engine is tuned for 91. we not get better performance (+ other mods) and and fuel economy on that. I managed 25kml in light traffic driving to work one day - never have seen that number. The average is now 19.3 km. Before mods it was about 18km/l average.

Gabapentin beats the heck out of melatonin for helping one sleep. I've have a few nerve issues since the pandemic, that come and go. Nerve conduction tests ok. Got some gabapentin for it 100 mg. The sleep it from it is deep and undisturbed. I have melatonin also, but think I don't feel so good in the morning after it. I went off gaba for a few months, had a couple of restless nights but soon adapted.

Only when you hold the throttle down and at 5krpm. maybe whine isn't the appropriate word. It just hangs there on 5k. I prefer to accelerate it up to a good speed then ease off. My son took the city from my wife. he prefers it as he like to drive fast (and its faster than the swift, no surprises there). No my wife drives the swift 😄

The cvt in out city turbo works fine. It has fake shifts to mimic a normal auto. So it wont whine at high rpm when you floor it. My wife also has a suzuki swift cvt that has that typical whine. Just push up to 4-5K and back off. Don't do that too much though. Don't do that often though as its modified - intake, exhaust, remap. and very loud at high rpm. But my son still prefers the city.

That isn't a like for like comparison. The vast majority of electric cars are new and must be compared to similar age petrol and diesel vehicles. Old ice vehicles have a higher risk of catching fire due to age (poor electrics), and lack of maintenance.

Just watched some mustangs racing at Goodwood on youtube. Good stuff! My dad has a 71 XYfalcon, sadly not a v8.

I looked at the wunderground.com records for April. I only went back 15 years, but April 2024 had an average temperature 2-3 degrees higher than any of those previous years - at around 33+C (this was for Don Muang area). I don't recall in my 24 years here of weeks on end of 38-40 highs.

I should add I have an old tm30 slip in my passport from 2018. My concern is that they will see this slip and it does not match my last entry.
