Yellowtail

Sorry, I'll rephase: I lived here for about twenty years and never had much to do with my visa, as my office manager took care of it for me. Since I retired several years ago, I've had to take care of my visa myself, which I have found to be relatively easy and inexpensive. Not as easy and inexpensive as someone else handling it and the company paying for it, but not bad.

Not letting your wife pick her own car has little upside and years or potential downside...

Assuming the donut is used to get you slowly to the next place to buy a tire or to wait for one to be brought to you, most anything that fits the hub will work. Driving slowly (20-30kph) with one small diameter tire less that 100 km will not hurt anything. A decent shop can also cut the hub from one wheel and weld it into another. This used to be very common in the US with steel wheels, I would not try it with alloys.... The last time I had a flat my wife called B-Quick and I stated to change it, but they were there before I had the spare down. Two guys on a motorcycle, they changed it in a few minutes for free. Would not take a tip... I have never had a vehicle that did not come with a full-sized spare. I've seen people in the US drive on the donut for weeks.

I've had the 'tuna for 6-7 years and had forgotten it had the paddle-shifters until my boy started driving and asked what they were...

There is no real difference between the CX-30 and a Mazda 3, or between an Altis and the Cross. I think all the small SUVs have hatches and are just based on small sedans.

If that were the case, would they not be in negotiations with Afghanistan?

Many Americans think Europeans are sophisticated. Really

If she loves the Fortuner, you should look at the Cross, it's sort of a mini-tuna...

I traveled with a carnival for twelve years, you learn to drive anything most anywhere...

I lived here for about twenty years and never had much to do with my visa. Office manager took care of it.

Airbus has sales and assembly/manufacturing in the US so there is likely no reason Thailand could not deal directly with Airbus in the US to buy new or used aircraft.

The CX-30 is the same platform as the Gen 4 Mazda 3, yes?

I'm 188 and my boy is a bit taller. We'll have a look at the show. Not sure if I want to move him into the 'tuna and get something new for me or just get something for him. If the Gen 4 Swift is at the show and I fit in it okay, I might get that for me...

I have a Fortuna and the power and fuel consumption (~10km/l) was disappointing just coming from a 3L Highlander. The size did not bother me out in the province, but it bugs a little in Bangkok. I still like the interior and the way it looks, sits and drives. Wife loves it, but she quit driving when we moved to Bangkok....

I like the look of these, if you don't mind me asking, how tall are you, how is the headroom and how do you like getting in and out?

Depends on the church, but yeah.

Attractive young people playing it the water, oh the humanity!

Talk him into the depositing the 800k in the bank or tell him to spend the 15-30k a year on an agent. To be clear, the 800K is not "locked up", you can take it out any time you want, you just will not be able to use it to renew the visa.

Airbus has (or at least had) a final assembly plant in the US. As to why they would buy from the US likely has to do with trade deficits.

I'm a old man and I love Songkan, absolute best time to be in Bangkok. I doubt there will be any flight disruptions. In Bangkok it's April 13, 14 & 15 and the absolute best place to stay for the holiday is Novotel Siam Square.

Well we'll know by the end of the month. If there going to market them here, they'll have one at the Motor Show. A "new" GWM dealership going up in a shuttered Mitsubishi dealership a few blocks from the house.

I believe a majority of Thais oppose liberalization of alcohol, e-cigarettes, cannabis and gambling.

What we do know is that his family is left begging for money to pay his not very large hospital bills, and his children will probably only have a few newspaper articles to remember him by. When I was 31 I was in a hospital with no insurance and ended up on disability for five years as a result of my running around the country getting hammered doing my best to impregnate all the women I could. I think that was pretty selfish, and I did not have a wife and children. That you do not see the guy's behavior as selfish leads me to understand a lot about the kind of man you are as well.

He did not even have it in the bank, or (again) his family would not have to be begging. He was also (apparently) unemployed. It seems selfish me, it doesn't to you, whatever.
