30 Cars Stolen in UK Traced to Thailand, Returned to Owners
G Rex replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I bought a 2015 911 here a few years ago. The GPS system did not work , because it was not an active feature in Thailand (in the 991.1 model), but when turned on ithad a UK address as the home point. Maybe the car was a grey import, maybe not.... anyway - I am very glad I have sold it now -

G Rex replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Deport him! This type of reckless behaviour cuts at the very fabric of Thai society. It is little wonder that Netizens are outraged. I, myself, am flabbergasted by such a brazen act. -

The 'importers' aka smugglers, would have to know the right officials to get the paperwork completed. Money talks! -

Bringing dog to Thailand for 3-6 months
G Rex replied to Travel2000's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
in all seriousness - is this just a wind-up? depending on your country of origin , there are many issues regarding vaccinations, health checks and quarantine - both on the way in, and again on returning home. definitely not worth doing for such a short trip -

My wife had nice natural boobs - but wanted more. I said no, but after thinking more about it I realised it was a self-esteem thing - so i changed track and agreed. The job was done by a good surgeon from a reputable clinic in BKK - the operation requiring an overnight hospital stay. I think it was about 160k. She is very happy with the results - (as am I!!) She also had a minor nose job - which simply involved the placement of a small piece of 'silicon' type implant on the bridge of her nose. This surgery was not very invasive, and has left no scarring - and looks quite natural. I agree that many Thai women (& LBs) have surgery that makes them look ridiculous, and unnatural. That is more 'hey look at me' surgery.

I had braces as a teenager, because that was the norm then - ie wait until your facial bones stop growing, and then correct the misaligned or overcrowded teeth. I had them from the age of 14 until I was 17. No problems , 63 now, and they still look the same. (ok, maybe a bit more worn out!). My Thai wife had a minor issue with protruding upper teeth and was quite self conscious about it. She had braces for 3 years to correct this, in her early 30s. The end result was very good, but she was still required to wear a 'retainer plate' at night after the braces were removed. She lost the plate and we had another made (5K!) - and after 5 days (the time to order and receive retainer)- her teeth had moved so much that it no longer fit! - as WBG mentioned above. She now has a different retainer that she wears most nights, is comfortable for her, and her teeth still look great!

When outdoors we just use normal pedestal fans - moving air is better than nothing! - and it reduces mosquito worry as well.

don't forget the dogs....lol

You are right on the money there! The Ford IS like a car , the Toyota is a light truck. But - I bought my Father in law an XLT Supercab Ranger in 2019, we sold it after 4 years, because he hardly used it (he thought it was too special to drive as his normal car!) - only 7000ks on it. We lost 50% on it... However , I buy cars to enjoy now - not to make or save money later!
-
Yep. The old slow one! Same donk as the wildtrak. I get my speed thrills from my big bikes now , and memories of my Shelby Super snake I had in Oz before I moved here.
-
I had a Raptor - but changed it for another Wildtrak. The added comfort , and the fact that I don't do a lot of Baja racing were the main reasons. If I want to drive fast - I prefer to drive a fast car or motorbike - rather than a light truck.
-
When I do more than 100,000 k per year , I need to change my vehicles - for reliability & 'modernisation' - and because I can. BTW. 'fourth' not 'forth'. Also I am not - and never have been - a Toyota fanboy.
-
The Toyota will definitely give you better resale value - if that is a concern. The Toyota drives and feels like a truck - because it is. The Ford is a more comfortable and civilised vehicle - much easier to live with. I have driven both. Spoiler alert… I am currently driving my fourth Ranger variant..
-
Some of the FB stock may be old stock. If you buy online , you will still need to pay for fitting and balancing - @ about 2-300 baht per wheel. B Quik etc are convenient - but definitely not cheap. good deals can be found from reputable sellers on Lazada or Shopee - just make sure to check the sellers ratings…

I bought my genuine Rolex Date just at MBK last week. 2000 Baht. So probably no real problem wearing it around Bangkok... -
