  1. Car Manufacturers offer dealers various incentive options through out the year From a Manufacturers point of in a perfect world every vehicle that rolls off the production line is sold but Manufacturers know there is going to various months of the year where that not possible so there will be times where the Manufacturers will offer additional discounts to the dealer to buy those vehicles. I have seen Dealers where In January, February,March they have leftover stock from the previous year often vehicles with no mileage and warranty has not been started. In a ideally world the dealer will try and sell those vehicles at the same price as a vehicle that hasn't come off the production line yet I have seen some major Brands not all of them but for example on vehicles that have a retail price of 1.2-1.3 million baht offer discount's upto 250,000 baht to sell their old stock and it can be a cash only deal or finance deal. Will they offer you such a deal when you walk into the showroom simple answer is No and will every dealer offer you similar deals simple answer No some dealers would have bought the unused stock and some wouldn't
  2. For the op there is a motor show in Bangkok next month best days to go for a deal is the last day as the major Brands all want that number 1 slot of orders https://www.motorexpo.co.th/ Establish delivery dates and manufacturing date as a 2022 model Civic RS built in December 2021 will be worth less than a 2022 model Civic RS built in January 2022 Register with some Thai facebook groups for Civic and post a listing in Thai that you are looking for a 2022 Civic RS cash discount only. I would also register with alternative Brand group facebook groups and post a listing that your looking for model x You can do a degree play the dealers off in Facebook but I would suggest that you say to the Honda dealers that the civic RS is your preferred choice but you are considering Brand X it all depends on who gives the best deal Make sure the 1 year free iinsurance is in the cash only deal as you can see here the free insurance offer if provided by Honda not the dealer and its linked to Only customers who have entered into a hire purchase contract with a participating financial institution https://www.honda.co.th/promotions/detail/promotion-civic-nov2021
  3. Bereaved people do NOT have to return state pension wrongly paid to the deceased - but government will request it on behalf of taxpayers https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions/article-6830067/Bereaved-people-NOT-return-state-pension-wrongly-paid-deceased.html
  4. Repayments when someone has died If there has been an overpayment DWP will write to you asking for the money back from the estate. They will tell you how any overpayment has been worked out and explain why it happened. They will also tell you how to pay. https://www.gov.uk/benefit-overpayments/repayments-when-someone-has-died dear sorry for your loss letter followed 2-3 days later by repayment within 14 days letter or the person dealing with your estate has to provide reasons why they are unable to make the repayment. For UK bank accounts the DWP can access those accounts if required
  5. Family will received a Dear sorry for your loss later and if an overpayment has been made a further letter 2-3 days demanding the repayment of the overpayment within 14 days
  6. I think they normally state it should be something that is not associated with you
  7. I suspect they are sending you the one that they currently have for your account
  8. Its a 6-10 digit number that you would have created I suspect most people use a old telephone number that is easy for them to remember as anyone would be daft if they used their pin code twice
  9. Your telephone banking security number is a 6 to 10 digit number that only you will know. It is what we use to verify you if you call us. You may have been asked to set this up at the time you opened your account I assume people use old telephone numbers that are only known to them
  10. Are you talking about First Direct which is part of HSBC and based in Leeds but is seperate from HSBC as HSBC's UK contact centres are based in Swansea, Leicester, Leeds, Hamilton and Edinburgh none in Coventry
  11. you might want to stay in turkey for at least 14 days to avoid 10 days quarantine in Northern Cyprus if you are coming from a Dark Red country https://saglik.gov.ct.tr/TRAVEL-RULES
  12. Pricing in Sterling should be a warning sign to anyone, More than likely in the middle of nowhere with no public transport, unfurnished and no mention of heating After September gets very cold from around 16;00 onwards and can rain for 7 days or more without a break if near a mountain possible poor or limited internet access speeds. make sure you disable roaming on your mobile phone as one minute your connecting to a Northern Kibris radio mast and the next minute you connecting to a Southern Cyprus radio mast which will cost a fortune in roaming fees. Turkish customs will love rummaging through your radio equipment anything unusual sends them into a tizzy
  13. I am sure that your Bank advised you Protected Deposits Thai Baht Deposits only i.e. Current Deposits, Savings Deposits, Fixed Deposits, Certificates of Deposit, and Deposit Receipts https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Tips-and-Insights/Save-and-Invest/Practical-advice-on-deposit-protection FCD accounts = no protection
  14. The owner is banking on that the op will move well before the 2 months period, I don't know of anyone that would want to spend New Years Eve house moving. Back in August owner wasn't sure if Thailand would reopen or not, so was quite happy to enter into a 6 month contract with a option for a further 6 months you have to figure owner really wants op out by December 15th to allow couple of days clean and ready for new renter for the Xmas and New Year period and then onwards
  15. 4 months earlier than his contract finishes, moved in 1st September a 6 month contract would finish 1st March 2022
  16. I see the cheapest OLED online at homepro is the OLED48A1PTA at 42,490 and a 1 year warranty the same set with a 3 year warranty can be purchased online here at a LG offical store 28,990 that is a difference of 13,500 l Product Warranty 1 year (3 years register) https://www.lg.com/th/support/warranty https://shopee.co.th/-โค้ดLGXTA1200ลด1200-LG-48-OLED-4K-Smart-TV-รุ่น-OLED48A1-Self-Lighting-Dolby-Vision-Atmos-LG-ThinQ-AI-i.282578111.10955862108?sp_atk=45a35d81-229f-4b57-add3-9b3279f1ebaf what that means if you don't register online you get 1 yr warranty if you register you get 3 years If there was a small difference I would buy in store but when its a 32% in favor of the in store difference no thanks Only times I have bought in store is John Lewis and Richer sounds as they both offered a 5 year warranty even if the manufacturer, In Store is fine for looking but for me they need to reduce their margins and complete with online stores to get my business Out of Interest what did you think of the picture quality of the OLED compared to the non-oled's did you see a difference in the inky blacks
  17. You can opt for the 1000Mbs download 100Mbs upload service for 590 baht per month or you can opt for just the Giga TV service using your existing internet service for 100 baht per month 3bb will supply you with an Android Box you will get HBO GO / MONOMAX / OKE ( I have no idea what Oke is https://ro5.3bb.co.th/00371/gigaTV.php Yes Disney has grown since the days of Walt Disney a number of takeovers over the years No I don't use Netflix I was always concerned about Picture quality in the early days and The amount of content on HBO GO monomax and Disney Plus/hotstar impossible to watch all the content even if you did 24/7 365 days of the year If you dig down on the monomax content i think they have 20 or so of the James Bond movies in English
  18. Tips if you go looking for TV's Never let salesperson know your budget, if you do they automatically know which 4 models they are going to show you and they know how much commission they will receive on each one. Ideally ditch the minder/salesperson ( I hate it when people follow me around) if you see a model that you like just make a note of brand model number and price and lenght of warranty. Go Home do your research on your selected models, check prices online also check warranty periods as some sellers import models in from China which might only come with 1 year warranty where the Thai version comes with 3 year warranty. Ideally you want 3 years onsite if possible always keep the box has you might need to send back to service centre if onsite warranty not available. Unless you go to a particular shop such as a sony store, LG store or Samsung store its a waste of time asking the salesperson what is the difference between Brand a and Brand B most of the time they wouldn't know You need to show the salesperson that you have more knowledge about a TV model than them otherwise they will steer you in the direction of which TV is offering the most comission. As a Rule I always walk away from any TV that doesn't come with a 3 year warranty 12 months warranty on TV is a joke Also take a tape measure with you I always measure the stand as I have a table that is 120cm wide so if the TV stand is wider than 120 cm not an option for me unless I replace the table my current tv is 152cm wide but its fine as the stand just requires a 120cm alternatively some stands where they point south east(right) and south west(left) the stands can be reversed to that they point inwardly rather than outwardly and then a larger table is not required you can get away with a smaller table.
  19. package I use is 3bb gigatainment 1 gbps / 500 download speed 1000 Mbps upload speed 500 Mbps monthly payment 790 baht including HBO GO Monomaxx and 49 baht per month for disney plus/hotstar My tv is a sony 2018 model came with Android 7 but Sony have provided Android updates to version 9 HBO GO, Monomaxx and disney plus/hotstar all run from the TV menu screen https://ro5.3bb.co.th/00371/fiber.php?gclid=CjwKCAjwoP6LBhBlEiwAvCcthDUAyr1aRbAtuHIlAf8pEjcVmRSHCWg0LUKe6-HzRQc3d0AZjDgndhoC17AQAvD_BwE You can see what is available content wise on HBO GO here https://www.hbogo.co.th/ and monomax from here https://www.monomax.me/ Disney Plus/hotstar here https://www.hotstar.com/th
  20. out of interest do you use 3BB as your internet provider as they do offer some good add-on Movie packages at a reasonable cost such as Monomaxx ( Mainly Thai language series and Movies) although some in English and HBO GO mix of Thai language and english language movies and series and they recently added disney plus/hotstar which does have 4k content
  21. It will be interesting if you wife can tell the difference between an oled TV versus a non oled tv some people can't. Formost people if there are imperfections on the TV screen their eyes always focus on the imperfections and it can causes distractions from actually watching the TV content. Some TV's that have a wider viewing angle such as the LG 55NANO80TPA.ATM result in poor contrast Black looks grey not inky black white is not a pure white more a off white Its like your sitting on a train and opposite you is sitting a young version of brigitte bardot naked and on her face there is a huge mole and its pussing and it looks like its about to exploded. You turn away but a few minutes later your eyes will switched back to the mole
  22. If your wife has decided on LG I suggest you think about increasing your budget by 3,000 and reducing screen size to 48" then you have a choice of 3 LG OLED C1 is 2021 model A1 is 2021 model CX is 2020 model https://www.lg.com/th/compare?bizType=B2C a1 is 28,990 from LG offical store here https://shopee.co.th/-โค้ดLGXTA1200ลด1200-LG-48-OLED-4K-Smart-TV-รุ่น-OLED48A1-Self-Lighting-Dolby-Vision-Atmos-LG-ThinQ-AI-i.282578111.10955862108?sp_atk=45a35d81-229f-4b57-add3-9b3279f1ebaf all lg oled prices here https://shopee.co.th/search?facet=11045452&keyword=lg oled&noCorrection=true&order=desc&page=0&sortBy=price US reviews here you see all OLED score green in all area's https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg
  23. Here is a review of the USA 55NANO80TPA not good and the review stats Value for price beaten by : Hisense U6G which is the entry level for hisense https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/nano80-2020 But if that is the model your wife wants good luck
  24. Westerners prefer websites Thais prefer facebook, line,lazada, shopee the majority of potential customers in Thailand are Thai's so most business's provide a shopping channel that suits the majority of their customers. if businesses were to have a pricing structure for their websites and a lower pricing structure for their facebook, line,lazada, shopee pages I am sure the majority of people would purchase through the lower price pages rather than through the website
  25. The website costs will largely depend on the type of business for example a website for solicitors only needs updating every time there are changes in the law where a business selling electronics may require daily updating
