I leave my car for maybe 8 weeks in total per year in Issan, the main problem I have found is rats chewing wire insulation. I don't cover the car as its under a shaded carport and feel its better than leaving a nylon cover in contact with bodywork for extended periods, I disconnect the battery and have lots of rat poison placed around area and spray with rat repellent, I leave the bonnet open as rats love dark places and have a solar powered led light in my engine bay. This time I bought a wrap around rat guard that goes around the full vehicle, its a large roll of thick felt with a wire mesh bottom hopefully this prevents rats getting in.

Your problem will be a faulty dash board (Instrument Cluster), very common on this model Ford Focus. The IC has its own chip that is linked by canbus with the PCM and BCM.

Google ford dash repair in your area or join a dedicated Ford Focus Facebook group as they will point you in the right direction. Thai mechanics are very afraid of anything different !

I did a bit of reading earlier this month on usafructs and Thai procedures following the death of a wife or girlfriend while living in her house and found out what I thought could be a problem for some people. If the girlfriend was childless and died without a will the assets would transfer to her parents, if the girlfriend had 1 child then the assets would be divided 50/50 between the child and parents, 2 or more children then divided equally between them only. Attached is a downloadable usafruct form, fill it in take it to your local land office and go from there would be my first step. usufruct_draft_contract.pdf

I had a similar issue last week when I tried to get a new ATM card from Krungsri (a Debit all ATMs card for 480b). I had to do all the paperwork to update my passport number on that visit then return for the new card this week. I asked for my photo to be taken at the same time just to get it out of the way. All in all about 20 documents to sign and add my telephone number to.
