How hard is it to re-sell cars in Thailand?
G Rex replied to Startmeup's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I do exactly the same thing - but have still had little response. (In saying that, I have sold 4 cars & 3 drones over the last 2 years - but I price fairly for a quick sale) Yes - resellers are a pain - and generally try to beat you down drastically on price. All I can say is that buying and selling of vehicles was much easier in my home country (Australia) -
Advice sought on best small hatchbacks/cars
G Rex replied to Toolong's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
If I was looking for a small hatch now - Mazda 2 or 3 would be on the top of my list. I do not rate quality of Mitsubishi or Nissan - so agree with your wife there. Yaris is a bit tinny - and like you, I am no fan of CVT. We had a Honda HRV and the transmission was not impressive! I find Suzukis & MGs uninspiring and cheap feeling! -

Yes - especially the tail light delete - to make other road users more attentive - moreso at night -

G Rex replied to Startmeup's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I got no serious responses from FB marketplace or One2cars - eventually found a lucky buyer on Bahtsold. In my experience, private car sales by a non-Thai speaker can be more difficult here. -

We have 3BB & their streaming speeds are fine for youtube & Netflix - but we routinely have service interruptions once or twice weekly because of cable issues. When we move house we will change to AIS

Is it okay not to wear underwear for a man?

There are butterflies there - but many species are seasonal. However what you are seeing is a worldwide phenomenon - where insect numbers are rapidly declining, due to injudicious insecticide use and more importantly habitat destruction. As a kid in my native Australia, I remember driving holidays where we would have to stop every few hours and clean the dead bugs off of the windscreen - that has not happened for nearly 30 years there now. The insect biomass is reducing annually - and when they are gone - we will be too!

Crazy numbers! Surely if renters could check that customers have a motorcycle licence - and insurance, things could improve. Maybe even stronger plastic helmets ⛑️ - 555. But - this is Thailand. Motorcycle renters are after money , and people who come here on holiday know that they can do anything they want, and nothing bad will happen to them . Hell - they are on holidays…

I have had many orders like this. Often it is marked as packed, with no further shipping information. Then the order is delivered normally…. I have learnt to chill and be patient!

It’s the thought that counts! 555. Don’t think too much….

Unfortunately cases like this do, and will continue to happen here in Thailand. I love my own dogs. I worked for nearly 40 years as a veterinarian, treating dogs. Most forum members here know what needs to happen here with this dog, aside from a few crackpot pitbull apologists. The Thai people I know have a very non-Western viewpoint on dogs. It is not rational in my eyes. Case in point - after yet another unwanted/unplanned (call it what you will) litter of puppies at one of our farms - I (half) jokingly said I would take a few of the newborn pups & feed them to my snake. This comment was greeted with such derision & shock - I have dropped a few steps in my standing in my family here!!. No - the puppies will be raised, and then when old enough, my Father in Law will take them for a trip to the 'forest'. Here they will be abandoned/dumped/rehomed. Not sure of the correct terminology here. This is seen as acceptable to all of my Thai family....

Wild Boar On the Loose in Pattaya Draws Major Social Media Attention
G Rex replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
After they’ve been barfined? Lol -
I too equipped my home gym with good quality chinese made (an oxymoron?) gear - all purchased from Lazada. MUCH cheaper than anything I could source locally.
