  1. Nirun Grand Condo in Pattaya is definitely a ghetto, but there's lots of contact often paid, with the locals so by your criteria of no contact with locals, Nichada Thani in Bangkok is definitely more of a Ghetto than Nirun
  2. if the internet is down there is nothing that can be done, but unlikely, even ATMs would have mobile data backup
  3. 12 would need to include the Orange which is built but without no rolling stock of signaling equipment until the west extension is built and maybe the grey line which is not even open to tender yet
  4. so those onward flight ticket booking company is not only useful to get through immigration.... hmmm.....

    Go Wholesale

    previously when they were 'Tops Club' that failed in Bangkok they had lots of American Costco stuff like Kirkland, would be interesting to see if they can still get American stuff
  6. unless the dealership is quick in getting their papers, which is unlikely, if you take delivery now registration date will be 2024, but the model year is most likely 2023,
  7. Here's the wiring kit and the box with price shipped from Japan on Webike.net, should work for all models from PCX/ADV160, 350 and the 750 rack is another around 15,000 baht, depending on model
  8. If the ethanol are plant based, would the co2 released be more recently 'captured' by the plants used vs petroleum's which was captured long ago
  9. I've looked into getting the smart topbox that unlocks with the bike's fob, you have to order the wiring loom as well as the box and honda's own rack, to the tune of around 20-30,000 Baht not sure if big wing dealers for the proper big bike can order them for the ADV750 and such, but the smaller shophouse selling PCX and ADV350/Forza won't have a clue, but look around webike.com and you can find the whole kit With the price and uncertainty whether the Thai version ECU has the necessary port to plug into or not, I can put up with the inconvenience of another key
  10. new cars next year are Euro 5 compliant only now who knows how the lower grade diesel will play with the particulate filter fitted in these newer diesels I used to get lots of soots from cheapest Bangchak and PTTs in the B5-ฺฺB10 only days, Shells and Essos were noticably better so I switched to Esso and Esso premium, now that Esso's gone it's Bangchak Premium B7
  11. few years back when all the charger were free were really great for the early adopters though but the selection of vehicles available now is great too
  12. I forgot about the Bangkok-Pattaya leg of the train, which is not recommendable yet, takes three hours whereas most coach and minibus can do it in under two, usually an hour and a half to the skytrains at Bangna The weekends one are just airconditioned - similar schedule one service a day each way is also too limiting the improved service is Bangkok-Huahin which the new improved times is about three - three and a half hours over the almost four hours plus delays previously, will definitely beat the rush hour traffic on Rama 2 road
  13. with the dual track project completed, which includes removals of many level crossings, the trains times is much improved, definitely beats the roads at peak times
  14. saw it, was actually a bentley or maybe the guy has multiple cars, same cat in the front seat you can get licence to keep the animals in Thailand, if you're rich enough you can make your house a 'zoo' and keep whatever
  15. It's not reverse assimilation but rather keeping up with the jones, happens with all thais in gated moobans also
  16. they still have a chance of building a whole new neighbourhood, the whole of Klongtoei area could be developed into decent riverfront area if they moved out the port and the refineries,
  17. He need to log in again as he's got a new phone without debit card and PIN, or access to the bank's own ATM other methods to log in to internet / banking app is to use username and password that you have set up for online access, many never set this up as they only need the app,
  18. the young doctor that died from lung cancer for just being in Chiang Mai probably raise awareness of the danger from the dust and you'd have to really be blind to be oblivious to the air quality in the past couple of days
  19. The Thai wording specify that copper rod, copper clad iron/steel rod or zinc plated steel rods are acceptable, but in the end they say they don't allow iron sheathed steel rods due to the possibility of the copper riding up against the dirt exposing the core resulting in corrosion. What exactly is the difference between copper clad or sheathed are they talking about? most of the ground rods I see in homepros has exposed steel heads you can drive in the ground, but I have seen case when hammering the rod down and the side were against some concrete in the ground that tore the copper and bunch up the copper up the rod which is why the regulation is trying to guard against here...
  20. if the money were transferred recently it is pretty routine to get one for purchase of Condos and such... no need to 'buy' the service to get one except for small bank's fee but the original poster's situation is that he has transferred in the money long ago, and banks would not normally issue the FET hence the higher fee to 'facilitates' issuance of such paper
  21. what most installers do is connect via a 'fuse tap' where you replace one of your car's fuse with a , or if you have an empty fuse position with this fuse tap which will will have wire coming out of your fuse box you can splice into, if you choose the correct fuse position to 'tap' into, it should turn off with the car's ignition and not drain the battery
  22. Protective covers or not, The EV version of Honda HR-V has badly positioned battery packs you can see even in case of hidden packs, earlier this year Ora Good Cat here in Thailand rode a kerb, damaged the battery cover and insurance company deemed total loss as the cost to replace the whole battery was over 70% of the insured value
  23. how would they know which purchases are from genuine tourists and which are from tax resident using foreign cards, there are around 800 million card transactions in Thailand each year,
  24. so if you use your foreign credit card to buy gold in Thailand and sell the gold for cash, without ever depositing that into Thai bank accounts, I guess you can survive on that threshold for gold shops to start reporting big purchases for money laundering is 2 million, so make smaller purchases like you're helping bargirls with sick buffaloes you should be fine
