  1. Chinese brands drop more in used price than others because there is uncertainty about their reliability, and also the reliability of after-sales service. Both the Japanese and Koreans went through this phase, until the durability of their vehicles became evident.
  2. The older Nissan 4 -cylinder engines had an enviable reputation for longevity. I've seen a couple rack up 400,000 km. Be careful with the March, the record on Nissan's CVT gearboxes is unenviable. They require strict adherence to maintenance schedules, and are quite expensive to replace. IMO the older torque converter gearboxes are better.
  3. Your spelling of the word drivel is an indicator of your education level. I'll think of you as cake, in preference to pudding.
  4. White people should support Biden ( they did ) because he has restored rationality to the Presidency. He has surrounded himself with well-qualified advisors. Trump surrounded himself with cronies and toadies because he is a narcissist. Brain farts - COVID. A trade war with China - he lost. A beautiful wall - unfinished, with some corruption mixed in. Pardoning convicted felons. Inciting an insurrection. Illegally appropriating top secret files to show off to any visitor. Trump patriotic? You obviously have not heard of Dr. Samuel Johnson's aphorism " Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel".
  5. I did not have to eat less in losing 15 kg. I did it by reducing sugar and carbohydrate in my diet, and bulking up on protein. It's a common myth fat is bad for you. It's not. I eat lashings of cheese, 35 - 40% fat. True, eating less is one way. IMO eating right is more enjoyable.
  6. Trump is a white supremacist. I have to wonder at the gullibility of minority groups or individuals that support him.
  7. I like to choose an aisle seat, and always have hold baggage. I agree it's a lottery which is cheaper. IMO anyone ordering a meal on a one-hour flight is a masochist, or has tapeworms.
  8. If you want to go to Suvarnabhumi or vice versa, there is a free shuttle bus. I only have to show ongoing ticketing.
  9. I seem to have no problem on Nok Air pulling up prices for flights a month ahead on the DMK - CEI route.
  10. FAIK the woman sitting next to you in the car is not your wife. She could be anyone. I am creative, and have a world patent to prove it. You'll have to take my word for it, as I am not posting the number. You only seem to be creative in making mean-spirited posts.
  11. It is if one is getting on a scooter or driving a car afterwards. Air Asia has always stung customers with add-ons, I just compare with Nok airfares and go from there.
  12. 20 minutes of stretching exercises first thing in the morning. I test balance by standing on one foot for 30 seconds. 20 minutes of cardio before dinner. Walking 2 km, climbing 10 flights of stairs, playing golf, and swimming in between. My blood pressure is normal, no medication. My resting pulse rate is usually below 60 bpm. I consider mental exercise to be equally important. I am 80 yo.
  13. "Sot" is a person defined as a perpetual drunkard. When I created this thread, I did not realize it would attract puritanical stuffed shirts.
  14. I created the thread as a reaction to the haters who flocked to bignok's thread. Certainly Thailand has its faults. On balance, I would say the good outweighs the bad by a good margin.
  15. For the money and the kilometres, IMO a good buy.
  16. Exactly. I cringe when I see any of us talking loudly or shouting at a Thai, as if that helps the Thai person comprehend what they are saying.
  17. She also does a very good mussuman curry, and a mean omelet. My main problem is getting her to cut back on quantity, she does not do small portions.
  18. The half-life of THC is 25 - 36 hours. YMMV. You have measured your reaction times before and after smoking, to verify your claim you are not impaired?
  19. I was talking about the gold sold in every shopping mall and gold shop. While you are correct, most people would prefer dealing with a bricks and mortar establishment.
  20. Alcohol impairs reaction time even when imbibed below the legal limit. If you are driving with cannabis in your system, IMO you forfeit any moral high ground you may think you have. I do agree driving is quite relaxing, strange as it may seem on some of the most dangerous roads in the world.
  21. Are you sure it's a Leaf, and not another model from the Nissan stable? Because everything I read online says the Leaf is full EV only.
  22. I use the scooter for short trips, the car for longer trips, such as visiting friends in CM from CR. I've done multiple loops around northern Thailand. I would never get on a big bike, I know my limitations. IMO those who do have latent suicidal tendencies. I've driven through Bangkok once, that was enough.
  23. Post intended to provoke, troll. Goodbye.
  24. Two traffic fines in ten years, and you want to tar and feather me? Lay off the booze and pot, you've lost all sense of proportion.
  25. Quite a few of them were on the company dime, working as a consultant for a month or two in each place. The rest, on my own dime for a minimum of two weeks. Don't you get tired of bruising yourself, jumping to fatuous conclusions? Troll someone else.
