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.

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. -
Where to meet 50 something like-minded individuals?

Maybe a prostate clinic. -

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. -
Ford Fiesta occasionally losing power
In the jungle replied to Guderian's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
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.

Asylum Seekers returning home for Christmas !!
In the jungle replied to CharlieH's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
This guy is not a "Border Force Chief". More likely a Chief Immigration Officer which is junior management level. I cannot envisage why he, or anyone else in Border Force, would wish to stop an asylum claimant returning to their home country. Such a trip to their home country would surely be grounds for refusing entry if they were to return by legal means. If they were to return by illegal means such as on a small boat or by clandestine entry the fact they made a trip back to their home country would undermine any renewed claim for asylum. -
That does not demonstrate it is a good idea. It simply means Nio have implemented it at some scale. Have you looked at Nio's financial position?

Thai insurance companies have a track record for huge mistakes in judging the risks they are assuming. I suspect that is why EV insurance is so much cheaper here than in Europe and the USA.

I am pretty sceptical about the idea of battery swapping. EV batteries can weigh hundreds of kilos but, as well as the complications that are inherent in that, battery swapping means repeatedly making and breaking electrical contacts that carry a lot of electrical current. That latter point is IMO a bad idea. EVs seem to be moving to a form where the battery is a major structural component of the car. I think there are good reasons for that but repeatedly removing such a structural element on anything other than a dimensionally accurate jig would make no sense.

In the jungle replied to Rhys's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
I wouldn't bother with Carbon Fibre. Fine if you are Marc Marquez or Lewis Hamilton but they get theirs for free. I use an Arai mostly because I find them very comfortable. Construction is mostly fibreglass with some kevlar. -
The 100 kWh battery monthly rental charge in China is more than five times what I spend on petrol in a month. Then you have to pay more to charge it.

Suggested price for new-ish MG HS PHAV I-smart
In the jungle replied to VinnieK's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
One2car is a useful yardstick but they are probably all Bangkok dealer prices. On a private sale I would say ask at the bottom of the One2car range and be happy if you get 50K less. So advertise at 700K, or rather 699K, 695K or whatever and be happy if you get 50K less. Of course location matters and if the car is Hat Yai or Mukdahan there will be a smaller pool of potential buyers than Bangkok so it may take time.
