In the jungle

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.

Because the original post says that she was in Selangor! I guess you didn't bother reading it.

I didn't read the article because I have driven to KL in a Thai registered vehicle. I filled it up more than once in Malaysia and paid the same price a Malaysian would pay.

The Malaysian 'netizen' is a fool. She is in Selangor which is hundreds of kilometres from the Malaysian border. Is she supposed to push her car back to Thailand?

I guess our experience is probably similar. Overall it has been positive. For the OP I think a budget of 500K for a small farm is plenty but my main advice would be to match the tractor to the scale and nature of the work. No point in buying some huge beast for, say, 20 Rai. Another way I look at tractors is measuring the purchase price against farm annual income. For my farm a 500K tractor would make no sense by that metric.

"Lane keeping assist can be useful if you need to take both hands off the steering wheel for a couple of seconds for whatever reason." If you really do that I suggest you go back to driving school.

Maybe a prostate clinic.

You really don't need all that crap.

It had leather seats, aluminium trim and a heads up display. Quite posh for an eco box.

Fair question. Better get the GR Yaris then.

It depends on intended usage but I quite liked the Mazda 2 I had a passenger ride in. Admittedly it was a fairly posh one. Not that I would buy it as it has an automatic gearbox.

I don't think it would show up. I have never seen a fuel pressure sensor on a standard production vehicle. Maybe more modern cars have such a thing but I cannot see there being one on a 2013 Fiesta.

I don't know how old your tractor is but parts may be more of an issue for my Kubota as it will be fifty two years old this year. I have struck lucky with some parts. For example when the rear axle seals needed replacing the part numbers cross referenced to those used on a Kubota produced in Thailand today. Other parts have had to be made by a machine shop or adapted from other models. We have a pretty good village tractor parts shop but most of what they have is for much bigger and younger tractors than mine. Thankfully it has not needed that much in parts as it is pretty well designed and robust.

I use an old Kubota import. Cost 80K in 2012 and it has given me 500 hours of very reliable service since then. Imports are not for everyone as there is no parts backup in Thailand.
