  1. Shop on Pattaya Klang just up from Big C Extra on the right hand side heading towards Sukhamvit sells printers and accessories.
  2. Makes me laugh when people say draught beer, it’s draught fizzy water called lager. At least when you buy bottled beer you know it hasn’t been tampered with or concern yourself when the lines were last cleaned.
  3. Ford dealer in Pattaya quoted ฿9000, shop called Big Key on Thressapit Road ฿3200 including programming.
  4. Why pay it when I can find one cheaper elsewhere, there is a shop on Thressapit Road, The Big Key ฿3200 and they programmes the key as well.
  5. Buy an Amazon Alexa Echo or Dot Alexa, works in Thailand, I have 2.
  6. Yes but all they do is send it to a key shop similar to the one in Big C Extra, they don’t have an in-house facility.
  7. I would like a spare key for my Ford Ecosport which has keyless, push button start, I have enquired at one outlet here in Pattaya in Big C Extra, ฿4500, he said it would take 1 hour, I am not a cheap charlie but the quote appears to be quite steep ?
  8. I have replaced the capacitors in my Hatari floor fans, spares readily available from Hatari, only a few baht each.
  9. Thanks I will have a look inside the unit and the remote.
  10. The system was fully serviced a few days ago, the problem has always existed and the units are newish.
  11. I have often wondered in a country where the majority of the the people are barely on a living wage.but still running around in gas guzzlers ?
  12. Just bought a car, cash, whilst looking for one every advert included finance whilst apparently cheap monthly repayments the interest rate was phenomenal. Looking at the cars history it looked like it had been a repossession from the previous owner by the bank.
  13. By no means expert but looking at the walkways there is an inspection plate at the end of the travelator which must have come loose for some reason and dragged the unfortunate lady down the gap.
  14. No we don’t turn it off to restart the condenser, it restarts itself, at 24c the room feels more cold than our bedroom which is also set at 24c I would find that uncomfortable if I was sleeping in his room.
  15. The external AC Condenser for my sons bedroom keeps cutting out and the internal unit only blow warm air after 10 minutes the condenser restarts and starts blowing cold air again, I have the temperature set at 24c. We only recently had it serviced, my partner said.it has always does that, she was sleeping in his bedroom when he was sick and noticed it going from cold air to hot air ?
  16. I was looking at cars, a fella foreigner mid 30s early 40s brought one to my house on Sunday, Full Service history, all the other paperwork all appeared ok, we would go to the Land Transport to change over on Tuesday. I then asked him how many keys, he said I lost the other one with a shrug of his shoulders, I thought about that then realised what happens if he still has the other key ? if a car is stolen insurance companies want to see 2 keys, I sent a message to say I was no longer interested, his partner Thai called me as well, I explained I require 2 keys not one.
  17. Looking at car adverts quite a few have a 100000 km on the clock, I wonder how many have had a new cam belt/timing chain replaced ?
  18. My point is some dealers are advertising cars but when you enquire the price doesn’t include tax. All dealers want you to credit no matter where in the world, it’s their bread and butter.
  19. I am thinking of buying car, I have been looking at car adverts, they sellers encourage credit, I am a cash buyer, when I enquired at one garage if I paid cash I would to pay 7% VAT. over and above the advertised price, are used cars prices normally advertised net of VAT ?
  20. Set one up on the interchange at Big C Extra on Pattaya Klang, they would rake in a fortune as people mostly motor bikes consistently run the lights. Then again how many of them are actually registered to a traceable address ?
  21. Scam, I have done a bit of research, IDP can only be obtained in your country of residence.
  22. This site no idea who they are issuing 1,2 and 3 year IDP, I think they are based in the States as the cost is in dollars but accept applicants world wide. They have acknowledged my email about an enquiry albeit it could be an computer generated reply. is it scam as IDP is only valid for 1 year ? https://internationaldrivingpermit.org/country/thailand/
  23. Having read all the replies it looks like I would have to do the test, what would an agent do to assist me in getting a licence. I also come across this company who can provide an International Driving Permit, $49, I thought you could only get one in your home country ? https://internationaldrivingpermit.org/country/thailand/
  24. The MG looks a very nice car, the only issue I read in a review was they leaked water through the door seals ?
  25. I only ever use 4 wheel transport thanks.
