  1. Do any members have reliable info as to when the Honda Civic 5 door hatchback will be released in Thailand?

    Apparently it is coming to Thailand as it has been approved for release in Australia and New Zealand in July this year.

    I would like to know more about its specifications. ie available engines, cargo space, do the rear seats fold down, price etc.

    I can't get any info from Honda agents here in CNX...big seclet sir !

    Maybe it will be held over for release at the Bangkok Motor Show in December !

    Any solid information greatly appreciated.

    Regards.

    "The Americans have elected a turkey as their president. He looks like a turkey, walks like a turkey, gobbles like a turkey — he is a turkey. There is nothing in Donald Trump’s record, in the appointments he has made or in his disgusting inaugural speech yesterday that prompts second thoughts. The new president is no evil genius, he’s just tiresome, rude and silly: one of those vexatious, loud and unpleasant people we do best to avoid."

     

    ...Trumple-stiltskin.

    'Action plan' to arrest the Abbot? It is anything but actionnon-action plan would be more accurate.

     

    I have heard on the grapevine that this new 'non-action plan' involves the police standing in a  circle around the temple, clapping their hands rhymthically and singing together with a Thai soap opera star: 'Oh please come out. Please, please, please! We love you - we really do!'

    The Pattaya bar busts have always claimed that  the presence of unused condoms is proof of prostitution taking place. I mean, what else are they going to be used for?

     

    Working in China, we had big issues with Chinese-made dynamite disintegrating when left too long in waterlogged shot holes. So we bought thousands of local condoms, wrapped the charges in them before loading the hole. They were good for at least 24-hours.

     

    Unfortunately, the Chief Driller forgot to empty his bag properly before flying back to Oz to see his wife on R&R. The fact that the condoms she found were cavernous enough for the average schlong made his claims'Honest Narelle, they're for me job' a real hard sell.

    I called TOT this morning due to the outage.  They told me that an undersea cable has been cut in the south of Thailand, resulting in the outage.  I can only get online using my AIS phone as a mobile Hotspot.   No idea when TOT service will resume.

     

    ...they might be splicing in the 'one gateway'.

    Exactly the same thing happened to me 5 Years ago, on the Expressway in Bangkok, except he cut straight in front of me to go down one of the slip roads. He came from nowhere & the 1st I realized what had happened, was when he came to a stop on the concrete barrier ?

    As he picked himself up & brushed himself down & started walking towards the car, I was preparing for a visit to the 'monkey house'. As he reached the car, he spoke to my partner, who told me to drive away. He had apologized to her for cutting in front of us & said it was all his fault ????

    Just wish I had bought the car camera a few Months earlier, because that is one video I would love to be able to share.

     

    ..no need...he apologized for his manner of driving...and you both went on your way!

    Yes another trough feeder. Do the job a couple years and get another fat pension. He worked for Bush years ago and no doubt is collecting a stipend for services rendered. One would need a calculator to add up the mini pensions these turkeys will get and most payments start immediately not like you and I at age 65. Its just one big Washington daisy chain by membership only. 

     

    ..you can always stand for parliament in your own country..do the hard work and then be rewarded as they are with the legislation they passed.

    And the same kamikaze drivers will move over to THOSE larger weapons of destruction?

    Would someone please explain what is the magic pill in adding five more seats?

    The drivers and their habits are the elephant in the room that the Transport Ministry seems to be totally blind about.

    Every government announcement dealing with this crisis pushes the "ridiculous meter" up to another incredibly higher notch. It's like the gov't "experts" are in a hermetically-sealed bubble that cannot be penetrated by logic.

    ...Song taews seem to have very fatalities..they travel constantly the same routes..maybe because the drivers are older, more experienced, travel slower and don't take the risks.

    Start regulating the drivers of these mini vans.

    Start regulating the drivers of pickups.

    After that...
