Check the Ethanol vs. Gasoline Differences section..

 

Cheers, will stick with 95 for sure.

Has a 2021 Mazda 3, and according to the sticker when refilling, it is marked with 4 different fuel options, including E85 and E20.
Since E85 is about 5 thb cheaper than 95, I am considering switching to E85.
BUT what will be positive or negative about doing this?
Will you lose power in the engine, less Km per liter with E85?
Hope you can help me make the choice as I am not a car expert hahaha.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

People are right when they say dont take sleeping tablets,you dont get natural sleep and feel like <deleted> the next day .

About 5 months ago i complained to my heart specialist about having foot problems ( can be a by product of heart trouble) anyway he gave me gabapentin, it is used for many problems,but did not work ,however it has a side effect it makes you sleep,and its natural sleep,google it i take a 300mg tab 3 hrs before bedtime and sleep so well ,you can buy them at a pharmacist and they are not expensive,check out sleep and Gabapentin in google ,believe me they have been a lifesaver .

Natural sleep? When you use medication to sleep, it is not a natural sleep, or what do you mean?
What about addiction? Side effects?

Can someone slowly explain to me what papers I need and the procedure for registering a car / motorcycle in my own name?
Only answer if you know the steps, do not answer if you partially know or think you know.
I now only have a 90-day visa, but will apply for a pension when I return to my home country for a shorter period.
I rent an apartment if it matters. Thank you.

I am in the unfortunate situation where my wife unfortunately suffers from gambling, she is not completely out of control, but enough that I no longer trust her when it comes to money for gambling.
Gambling is supposedly as addictive as alcohol, can be cured but will take time. She is on the road to recovery, she has a regular appointment once a week with a reputable psychologist.
 

I recently bought a 2018 Vios in her name, but I have to go home to my home country for about 2 months. For the very last time when I settle permanently in Thailand when I return.
I'm worried that if she's had a relapse with gambling, she's selling the car while I'm gone.
Will she be able to sell the car here in Thailand if I bring the car's Bluebook and the keys to the car to my home country?
Or do you have any other suggestions? I do not get time to transfer the car in my own name when I travel in 3 days.

Many, including myself, complain about the instability of a pickup, they are a little too light in the "butt".
Have heard that some people put bags in the back of the load compartment, but how many kg are enough to improve stability? Where is the perfect weight to get maximum stability / performance / consumption?
100kg? 200kg? 300kg? Anyone know? Sweetspot?

About time....

I consider an older MB 350 CDI S-Class W221 (2012-13) which are the very latest of this model. I buy to keep the car for as long as I live, a kind of expensive hobby, not to be sold, but used as a number 2 car.
I have owned MB for the last 30 years in Norway, so I know MB well.
 

I have a 2013 E-Class 220 CDi in Norway with over 300,000 km that can easily handle 300,000 more with good maintenance.
After 14 years in Thailand with Toyota and Isuzu, I miss an MB.
 

But what I want to know is the general price of parts, repair and maintenance. Do you buy parts in Thailand yourself, or do you order them from abroad yourself?

Regular service such as oil changes / filters or brakes I get a local workshop to do here in Chonburi, which I know has many MB and BMW customers.
 

So, if you as an owner have any tips or advice regarding buying an 8--10 year old MB, I would love to hear from you as long as you have serious answers ...

Buy the new Isuzu, 5 Star safety in crash test, also a very nice ride. Search on Youtube.

More and more spirits gathering on that road, so yes, build more spirit houses...

Does anyone have an idea of how much value loss you have per year on a new car in Thailand?

Where is the "sweet spot" of buying a used car? 1-2-3-4-5 years old?
And how long should you keep the car, to minimize value loss? 1-2-3-4-5 years?

Anyone own both, or who has switched between these two alternative engines?
I register that the 3.0 (175 HP) version is approx. 100,000 thb more expensive than a 1.9 (148 HP) version in the used market (2 year old cars).
 

So is it worth paying 100,000 more for a 3.0 liter for normal driving, or does a 1.9 liter do just fine? What is your experience?

Anyone bought one yet? Would love to hear from ya-)

Found it-) https://www.thomsongarage.com/

Cheers mate-)

PS... the link  www.thompsongarage.com dont work...

I want to buy a MB W124 series (1993-1995), and was wondring about normal spare parts in Thailand? Is it a big problem, or do I need to order it from Europe?
Anyone know about a shop in Thailand where I can order? Price compared to Europe?

What new pickup still has a 3 litre diesel? Mostly about 2.0 now I think.

Izusu D-Max

Yes, from English to Thai.
 

Translate and publish book in Thailand

I am considering translating and publishing a book in Thailand (my book with rights).

Does anyone know what it will cost per page to translate, print and publish a book?

The book has 122 pages, each page is approx. 50% of an A-4 page.

The all new Isuzu looks very nice. I have own a Isuzu MU7 and the MU-X, never ever had any problems with them.
So I might just go for the top spec Izusu.
