I was just asking about the other car in the picture.

The American Car Club in Bangkok has a Facebook page and sometimes members put their cars up for sale.

That is definitely an unusual CAR. 

The question I have is does he have a blue book for the car and can he get it registered so he can get a license plate?

Here’s unusual for yer !!

Looks like an old M37 3/4 ton US Army truck. Made from 1958 - 1968.

A 1960 Chevey ,on a farm near me ,he said it has a 6 pot 2500 cc engine ,the original?  

Nice looking truck. I think I have seen that truck at a car show in Bangkok. Probably not the original engine as most of the guys put in a Toyota 1JZ as they are cheap used and easily modified.

Thanks for the update Ryan. If you are a military veteran there are 6 VFW Post throughout Thailand. Good place to meet other vets.

How did you come to that conclusion ?  You may well be right , my guess ..old Opel . Wonder if it's legal.

The hood or bonnet as some say looks early Fiat.

Do people not read? The OP says “the notaries cannot read Thai.”  

Why is it in Thai? When I went to the Thai Embassy in LA. The guy behind the counter was not Thai and could not even speak Thai.

No. Didn't even know there was a golf course in Chayaphum.

Yes a Jurat might help. I got my O-A in the Thai LA Embassy but that was 13 years ago and don't remember it my medical certificate needed to be notarized. Nothing needed to be in Thai. I was a walk-in. Dropped the documents and my passport off one day and picked it up the next day with the visa stamp. Good luck.

That is definately not a realistic calculation. All those numbers are totally wrong.

And that is your expert? opinion. All I can tell you 40 ducks in a 1/2 rai pond doesn't work very well.

Seems like you are missing the aquatic vegetation to keep your water clean. 

They ate the plants. My problem was I had too any ducks for that size pond. Experts recommend 8-15 ducks per .5 hectare pond. Now to convert that to rai, left me think and get out a calculator. 1 hectace is 10,000 sq/mt so .5 would be 5,000 sq/mt. Now one rai is 1600 sq/mt so you would need a 3.125 rai. pond for 8-15 ducks. My pond was half a rai and I had about 40 ducks.   

Obviously I did not do my homework before I bought the ducks. Don't fall into the same trap.

Here's a start.

My advice from someone who has had ducks, buy chickens. Ducks will ruin your pond. Their poop is bad news. Chicken poop can be used a fertilizer.

Since when is Part B automatic? It wasn't automatic for me but I am 72 now. Since it cost you money I though you had to sign up.

From the Malay website it seems to be 2.5L in the CX5 is not turbo; rated at 192 HP.

 

Thailand make the Maz3 2.5L version for Australia, i think it is normally aspirated but at least puts out 139 Kw (188 HP) compared to the 2L 121 Kw (162 HP) Thai version. No 2.5L in the Aust CX5 but the Aust Maz6 has the 2.5L Turbo rated at 170 Kw (228 HP).

 

The new Skyactiv-X 2L puts out 177 HP with a lot better efficiency and emissions; available in the UK but not Aust. yet.

 

Interestingly the Malays give 5 year Warranty and 5 year service (labour and parts) on the Maz3 as standard, while Thailand it is 5 year Warranty and 5 year labour only as a special offer; normally 3 year Warranty. Also interesting that the MX5 is running the 2L Skyactive-G and is putting out 180 HP, so obviously some tweaking can be done on the Maz3 engine.

Check out the latest news.

So why doesn't Mazda offer 2.5 turbo? Fuel consumption?

It's offered in Malaysia. I think they have the same concern about fuel consumption.

I just can't understand why Thailand limits engine size and horsepower. The CX5 is assembled in Malaysia and brought to Thailand tax free under the ASEAN Treaty. Now in Malaysia this year you can get a CX5 with the 2.5 liter turbo engine but it is not available in Thailand. Why?
