    Engine "rattle" usually occurs at a higher RPM when using a low octane fuel..

    Fill it with 95 and add some quality injector cleaner..

    take it for a good run, push the revs/rpm through the gears  and see what happens.

    I don't think this car has knock sensors. I recall form the older hondas, it was th v6 model had a knock sensor. Th OP's car just needs a good service. There are many independent honda specialist garages to use for this. Avoid the main dealer.

    I thought most of the whole milk sold in Thailand was re-constituted to be spoil resistant and not fresh from cows.   

    Thai-denmark is real milk. Puse some imported brands.

    Had it as well, was mis-diagnosed....horric infection so it is...and if you get it a 2nd time you can lose limbs organ failure...is that right ?

     

     

    You can get dengue haemorrhagic fever from a second infection with a different serotype. Not good.

    Suzuki Celerio manual.  22.9 km/litre.  36 Baht per litre = 1.57 Baht per km.

     

    I could get better fuel economy than that if I tried.

     

     

    Where do you drive to get this economy? It sounds like mostly highway driving. Our swift used to get about 18km/l maninly around nonthaburi. Our city turbo get slightly less, but is better on the highway than the swift. 

  5. If the roar sounds something like a motorbike following you, its likely to be a wheel bearing (happened with my civic years ago). How many kms on the car? Over 100k? The vibration could be from th wheel bearing or possibly the wheels need balancing.

    Not true IMHO.

    My Thai woman is small, came from a rural family where all they had to eat was rice and what they could find in the fields. Her daughter, raised by me, is tall, same size as my western children, fridge full of meat and milk.

     

    If you look back to the middle ages, Europeans were small due to lack of nutrition.

    Plenty of tall Thai kids to be seen around these days.

    3-4 of my m3 students are close to 6 ft. Many are much shorter. Genetics will set the maximum height, but doet will dictate whether they can get to that max height. None of my students appear underfed or malnourished. How many drink milk, I don't know. My Thai son drinks loads of it, but his height, 179cm, was set by his mother, Im 189cm.

    Up to 250k Thai baht, tbh it will only be for a run about, I do not intend to be going on long journeys.

    Any honda jazz will be quite old for that kind of price. Mazda 2 may be better value for money.  secondhand. https://www.one2car.com/en/for-sale/mazda-2-sports-maxx-sports-bangkok-metropolitan-srinagarindra-thepharak/10896863

    With 70+ millions population who pays peanuts for admission, procedures, medicines and health care in general, Thailand hospitals are not bad at all considering the above, you want a better care? go private.

    Or back to the US with their wonderful free health care for everyone.....oh, wait a minute....

    Wonder how many people are pocketing money illegally and robbing children from being able to eat a healthy or at least decent lunch? It just goes to show how rampant corruption is in Thailand and how absolutely amoral lots of people are.

    You don't know how many people ar involved but go on to say corruption is rampant? What is your association with Thai schools? No point in tarring all schools with the same brush.

    When teaching it was amazing how many times the kids didn't show for a lesson. Asking why reasons were, Gone to Temple. Not finished scouting lesson. Have to visit nurse. Not back from swimming lesson. This was the whole class.

    We used to have a similar problem, mainly hungover farang teaches to turning up to work Monday morning. Interestingly, never had this problem with the non-native speakers. Our kids are almost always in class.
