  1. Euro 5 and 6? 55555. Unfortunately the average pickup driver has a Euro 0 mindset. Euro 5 requires DPF (diesel particulate filter) which I noticed the new Hilux Champ has. Euro 6 requires Adblue in a separate tank. I cannot imagine (actually I can) how those items will be dealt with here... As many writers above already mentioned, pointless actions without enforcement . They should start with the numerous incompetently modified ECUs in pickups belching out smoke. Annual vehicle tests should be done with the engine under load not at low idle when even the most f....ed up engine will not smoke. TIT
  2. Not Pattaya but if you can go and take a look in Fortune Town in bkk. (Corner Ratchada and Rama 9). Numerous shops sell tons of vinyl at reasonable prices. Definitely worth a trip.
  3. I just keep the 800k in a Term Deposit year round. No hassles and renewal is painless. Only problem is to get the bank letter from Bkk Bank in Hua Hin without errors. Last time it took 3 efforts and the aged lady tasked doing this not very difficult task got really annoyed with me despite of the incompetence being her own. Face I guess.. TIT.
  4. I got mine from Hua Hin about 15 years ago after obtaining the yellow tabian baan. I find it a very useful document and use it often as ID for example when checking into a hotel. No need to carry passport around within Thailand. Only place that did not accept and insisted on pp was BTS counter in Bkk when I purchased a Rabbit card. TIT. I can definitely recommend the pink card. Very useful and added benefit is that it does not expire.
  5. I have a Toyota mighty x since 28 years with Carryboy 602 canopy. No cracking or fading in that time. Only rear window needs to be realigned from time to time. This is no issue on my Toyota Tiger which has a 10 year old Carryboy so issue seems to be resolved. The Cityboy will have more wind resistance so fuel.consumption will be higher. Also looks more like a 'tradie' pickup. If you don't need the extra volume very often would definitely stick to the standard Carryboy 'roofline' canopy.
