In the jungle

The truck is used for business and the fuel cost is of little consequence when weighed against near constant availability and utility.

"My car travels on fresh air and… sunshine lol." .....and the toxic mess that is its battery.

I think I got the 65 litre figure from either Toyota's website or a brochure but at least one time a fuel station recorded a higher figure when filling up. I assumed the fuel metering was suspect but maybe your 76 litre figure is right.

It's a 2015 Hilux Vigo 2.5. Fuel tank is 65 litres.

My Hilux 15 to 16 km/litre since it was new. Now 500,000 km on the odo. 1000 km range.

Is it your name in the blue book?

Just tell them nyet.

Thank you for mentioning that. I will look into TU Hospital as it would certainly be convenient.

Thank you. I will follow your advice.

The hospital in the south did an MRI specifically of the lumbar sacral region of my back and both hip joints. The radiologist who assessed the MRI noted no abnormalities. I have the MRI scan on DVD. I should perhaps have mentioned in my original post I am 64 years old and male.

I am seeking a recommendation for a hospital in Bangkok or the greater Bangkok area that has a good reputation for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions. Since January of this year I have been suffering from a condition that affects my right leg. I believe this condition to be neurological in nature. In January I was in rude health. I could walk long distances and I swam typically three kilometres a week. Since then I have developed a condition that affects control and power of the muscles in my upper right leg. I walk with a walking stick and walking much beyond 50 metres is a challenge. I cannot drive as I cannot control the accelerator and brake with precision. I cannot ride a motorcycle as my right leg lacks the strength to keep the bike upright. I have had a number of falls with one resulting in two broken bones in my right foot. I have constant pain which radiates down the inside of my right leg. The pain seems to be worst at night and it is rare that I sleep more than two hours at a time. I sought diagnosis and treatment from a local private hospital here in the south of Thailand but, despite considerable expense and the use of just about every diagnostic tool they have including MRI, I have not had a clear diagnosis. At best I have had opinions from the four doctors I saw. At times these opinions were contradictory and in one case the passage of time proved the opinion wrong. I think I have reached the limit of their knowledge and experience. I am therefore seeking a recommendation for a hospital in Bangkok or the greater Bangkok area that has a good reputation for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions. I will be staying in the Rangsit area. Any assistance you can give will be appreciated.

How right you are. The Isuzu D max gets through a lot of spark plugs.

Yes.

I guess an F1 race in Thailand might have the benefit that Christian Horn Dog Horner might leave his staff alone for at least one weekend.

Because F1 management demand huge sums of money to give a country hosting rights to an F1 race. It is the reason why you have F1 races in god awful places like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Azerbaijan.

Zero chance F1 is coming to Thailand.

I paid 315,000 for my MT celerio in 2023. 22 to 23 km per litre and it's a lot of fun to drive. Weighs 785 kg. If you don't like cars buy a BYD. Bing bong, bing bong, bing bong.

One reason for keeping the funds outside Thailand would be to do with their wills and the administration of their estates.

That gun might come in handy in Bangkok traffic.

I use Giffgaff. It has worked well for about two years. No charge for incoming SMS. Check account status and add credit online.

I have a GSB account and it works fine at a very basic level but you cannot use their phone app without a Thai ID number.

I have been through the apostille process with a document. As the document was UK issued it has to be done by the Legalisation Office of the FC&DO. It is a pain and the risk of loss of documents in transit is a concern but it is what you have to do.

It seems expensive to me and I would much rather have a genuine Honda part rather than a copy but I am not familiar with Bangkok prices.

I was watching a video that the Electric Viking put up today about the Evergrande bankruptcy. In that video Sam states that Evergrande's EV business lost US$17 million for every EV it sold.

Genuine ignition switch for Honda Wave 125R Part number: 35010-KPH-900 Price: 1028 Baht That price is from https://bikerzbits.co.th Usually the part will be cheaper from your local Honda dealer It can be a bit of a faff to change ignition switches as often they are secured to the frame with security screws with special heads that require a special tool to remove. I have a workaround for that but it involves tools that the average DIYer would not have.
