The problem with uturn is that most drivers are too stupid to understand that they must accelerate, being on the most right lane where people can come from behind at high speed.

In the past it was acceptable that people had no brain, but in 2017, it just means that they are too stupid to learn (for free on Internet, just like anything else).

NO ! The funniest thing about it is: "I felt that we had such a special connection between us"    hahahahaha... poor you.

100 pages of hammocks on the Lazada site ... http://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?spm=a2o4l.search.0.0.0u46Ok&q=hammock

 

You need to scroll through to find the one you like - but, from your description, this one seems ok. ... http://www.lazada.co.th/flyers-huaxian-army-green-nylon-mesh-net-single-leisure-hammockhangingbed-for-camping-backpacking-9456778.html?spm=a2o4l.search.0.0.MySuIs&ff=1

Most lazada hammocks seem to come from China ? They don't make them in Thailand ?

Smart money goes for front load, Miele, Siemens or Bosch.

If you can't stretch to those brands, then raise your budget and go as high as you can with Samsung, LG, Hitachi toploaders but do bear in mind that:-

1 Top loaders are guff.

2 Cheap top loaders are even worse.

3 Your brand new shirt will look a year old after 3 washes in one of those manglers.

Ridiculous. Electrolux are as good, but made in Thailand they are a lot cheaper, Parts too.

Try sourcing companies ?! http://www.personal-shopper-bangkok.com/

Taking a Thai car into Cambodia (Mon 5jun2017)

 

Farang friend FF owns and drives a car in Thailand, which we took into Cambodia. This was possible without much delay or bribes or documentation, but can only be done at two border crossings: Hat Lek (Trat province) / Cham Yeam and Kap Choeng (Surin province) / O’Smach (information from internet). Taking the car back to Thailand should be possible at any border crossing, however upon entering we learned that we have to come back to the same place (Hat Lek, our place of entry), recent regulation. If I had known that before, I would not have gone. In addition, you are only allowed to drive in the province of entry, but we kept the red number plate they gave us (to be displayed behind the windscreen?) in the glove compartment as to not draw attention, and drove all over Cambodia without being stopped.

I entered separately from FF as a pedestrian, and taking car in took about 30 min longer. Here what he told me: red number plate costs 1000 THB, an obscure fee 100 THB for stamps and documents, a tip 5 USD for a taxi driver who led FF to the various offices.

Going back into Thailand on Sat 10jun2017 we did together, and indeed from their pile of documents they (Cambodian customs?) picked out the one relating to FF’s car, for him to present elsewhere at the border.

 

Not true actually, you can go back to Thailand anywhere.

as above;

when i entered last July had to wake the customs guy up as he was passed out in his hammock behind the hut :-)

heading back this way in July.

Entering Laos has more paperwork involved PLUS u 100% have to buy insurance!!! For a thai car u need the purple registration book which is issued by the transport office ( where you get your license plates)

You can not take ur car into Vietnam

u drove from Bangkok to Surin and than SR?

last exit i made in Sept with car was SR-Poi Pet- Pattaya 7 1/2 hours

Any update ? 

Maybe some update there

As far as I recall you can take a car out of Cambodia at any international border crossing and in at most border crossings (but not in at Choam Sa-Ngam). I think you can check out current status by clicking on the Internetaional Border Crossings link of this excellent official Cambodia online guide to Cambodia:

 

http://www.canbypublications.com/

 

[It is possible that the Choam Sa-Ngam border crossing is open both ways to cars by now. Maybe worth calling Sisaket immigration in any event,]

Only 3 borders allow car crossing on the way to Cambodia. But from Cambodia Thai cars can come back anywhere.

It may work. It may not. Everything is individualized! One of the posters mentioned above that he was on a keto diet for years then switched to high carb and lost quite a bit of weight easily. That's about keto. I train every day and experimented with everything under the sun. They say high carb is a must if you train regularly. Not true. On a high fat diet I was equally strong and big. They say a lot of protein is a must. Not true. I was equally strong and big when I cut my protein intake in half instead of consuming obscene amounts of it. 

What you need to listen to is your body, not something that you read on the internet. 

These days everyone knows everything but most people are still out of shape, unhappy and broke. 

Your body already knows what it needs. Pay attention to how you feel after you eat the food. If it feels good it is beneficial. If it feels bad then it works against you. But very important, it's not about how it tastes! It's about how the body feels. 

 

Smartest reply of this thread ! Thank you !

For me reducing carb is just a way to eat less calories. Because most of my food was carb. So yes, what works is not to eat no carb, but just get less calories.

BMW has a head office in Bangkok, with several Europeans in manager positions. Its possible to contact the after sales manager. 

 

In every country BMW and other brands has a network of dealers. If you are not happy with your current one, just change. I don't see the problem. Sometimes Thai companies are struggling to deal with foreigners. My dealer has an American owner, and they always take my inquiries very seriously.  

 

Your dealer is at Chonburi ?

How did the story ended ?

In ten years of living here I have tried these

 

Bangkok Hospital Pattaya, female doctor that appeared to take delight in how much pain she could inflict

 

Pattaya Memorial Hospital, incomptent doctor, who barely knows how to use the equipment

 

Pattaya International Hospital,  same doctor as Memorial, a travelling side show I guess 

 

So far the best treatment I have received (yesterday) Dr. Jaraprapaporn at Pyathai Hospital in Siricha, 1,120 THB total and worth the trip out of town 

Do they use a machine ? It seems the cheapest around ?

Just highlights the level of corruption if so many thais (with an average income of 250,000 baht a year) can buy a car worth 3-4 million. Even in the west few people would spend $120,000 on a car.

Since when most people living in the west are rich ? Of course many only buy $10000 cars because they are not able to make any good money.

In the West, I would never pay more than 60K USD for a car that here would cost more than $120K.

This is why in the west a $60k car is considered crap.

I think the reason why so many thais drive european cars is that most are used

As many know, used price for european cars are very "low". especially bmw

Finance 84 months no problem.

and before the first major maintenance comes (swapping parts due wearing off) they realise how expenssive it is and sell it or dont swap parts at all

But ye back to the topic

I test drove the saloon model from a friend of mine 3 weeks ago (he bought it for 2.8M) and it is magnificent. Makes my 2013 accord feel like a plastic car. A big impressive step up from the last model

Looks like a s-class which makes it even more appealing

If you have the money for it, there is nothing wrong with buying what you want and mercedes is quality - just pick the right dealer that has a good reputation and where you can do future service

good luck

I agree that even the top accord model gives the feeling of a slow boat when driving it. Some people dare to think that we buy German cars only for a badge, but these people certainly have never driven one or really know and understand nothing.

The C-class is quite good for the price in my opinion ! A lot more reliable than any BMW.

In the meantime , despite their concern , they can't be bothered to spend a few baht themselves screening it off.

 

Not my job krap.

They are too busy robbing tourists who do not fall !

Car can only be taken into Cambodia at the Chong Chom Crossing.

And can go out at another border more in the south ?

Can I jump in here and ask if any of you guys know if you can take your Thai car into Cambodia from this crossing.

Other kind members have already written sound advice re paperwork required at Aranaypratet, just need to know if it's possible from Chon Chom.

 

Thanks 

Also wondering !

The biggest problem with these high protein diets is lack of fiber.

Sure, it may lower your sugar, but can create orher serious issues.

Lack of fiber if you eat a lot of veg ? Wrong again !

Just like all the other fad diets, it doesn't work (100% guaranteed) and it could actually do you a lot of harm. Total BS. To lose weight, you just need to eat a bit less (anything you want) and exercise more. Simple. All these fad diets are only trying to sell books or make money off you in some other way. Avoid them.

Clearly talking about what you do not know.

one meal a day does not seem to be a very smart idea...

Yes, I would like to be super rich.

I would buy a nice lot of one or two square kilometers in Khao Yai, build my house in the middle of it, so it will be quiet, grow fruits, vegetable, trees and flowers, keep cats, a dog or two, some geese, a pair of pigs,

make a small artificial lake and have my own fish.

Then I'd spoil my wife a little bit by travelling in good old Europe, South Africa, Namibia and New Zealand.

Pay for her daughters university and give her niece a well paid job in my garden.

 

The money left I would donate to the army so they could afford an aircraft carrier to fight whom ?

No need to be super rich to reach your dreams, anyone who is working should be able to do it !
