I'd suggest running a minimum of 3 tanks or each fuel and compare the consumption. Then calculate the total cost for running on each type of fuel. E20 could still be cheaper overall, even if fuel economy is worse than on gasohol 91. I think 95 isn't necessary. Take note of the performance on each kind of fuel. I suggest 3 tanks, as I noted that it takes a while for the fuel economy to 'normalise'; maybe the ecu is adjusting it's self ??

This is how it is done

After research, I would say that it isn't about the age of the vehicle, but the feed system. E20 is suitable to all injection systems (FI). Carbureted engines should not use this fuel because it will corrode parts. I made 60k kilometers on my FI 2013 bike on E20 and it isn't just cheaper, when I tried higher octane fuels like 95, I didn't feel any difference. Gasohol 91 feels weaker than E20 and it makes less kilometers too.

In summary: FI? = E20

Don't give a flying one what Agoda says, I've been there, you haven't.

Accommodation that costs 500bht in Thailand, costs 800-1,000bht in Vietnam/Cambodia/Philippines/China.

Thailand has the cheapest hotels/guesthouses in SEA, and I've been all over.

How do you know I haven't? It seems your ego issues checks you can't back up.

When you see a yellow halo around someone you know...

According to some agreement from 9 Jul 1985, ASEAN licences are recognized among the suscribing members of the agreement. Vietnam might be an exception, as it joined ASEAN 10 years after this. Has hanybody got experience with driving in Vietnam with Thai, Cambodian, etc... licences? Allowed?

Accommodation is way more expensive in Vietnam than Thailand.

How do you expect to stay in Vietnam with no long term VISA on offer?

Agoda says otherwise, Saigon and Hanoi being the exception. Every other accomodation around Vietnam seems dead cheap compared to Thailand.

Riviera condos seem to have a good reputation and are expensive.  Expect very small rooms but high quality amenities.  I think you are talking about Ocean Drive here on second road, which is pretty much brand new.  There are very few lights on in there at night.  If you rent a room in there then there is a good chance it will never have been lived in

That's a constant in Pattaya, not just Riviera. Tiny but overpriced shoeboxes with awful ventilation. Case of Siam Oriental Tropical Garden for instance (Boasting beautiful glass with no windows, making it perfect glasshouses to die inside unless you run aircon). No wonder long time residents on those places live with their front door and little windows open.

Besides, electricity prices have doubled in a year, so keeping a room cool on aircon these days can result into a steep bill. Those kind of rooms are shiny and in tune to what the western tourist demand, but stay a month in there and you'll develop some form of claustrophobia. Not to mention how much you 'll sweat.

Oh well! Facilities are usually awesome, that's true. Especially when you do not cross savages peeing in the pool, playing their annoying bluetooth ghetto blasters or shouting on the phone as if they were alone hunting bears on some remote steppe beyond the Urals.

Give me a fancyless and old place, better adapted to the climate and quieter too. Needless to say cheaper.

I have recently contacted a couple of dentists in Da Nang. They offered me to solve my problem in 10 days. What they didi not know is that I am well aware of what my problem is, and this is something that must be done in many stages through a few different procedures that need months of healing time in between to get everything done in perhaps a year or longer. In other words, I might had contacted "professionals" with no regard of my problem, but an obvious interest in my money, or I might have failed to convey my problem with clarity as well, however I discard this option, as they were given a full and recent cone beam scan of my whole mouth.

Anyway, has anyboy had good experiences with dentists in this city? Any other city perhaps? Mind to share your experience and recommend a honest dentist? One of those who rather give you bad news detrimental of losing a potential costumer/income? 

Btw, this problem requires a few different surgery techniques before implanting.

Thanks in advance

I agree. Absolutely allow visa free travel to Thais and at the same time restrict them from

 

1 buying a  property

 

2 getting citizenship even if they have a family

 

3. Limit ownership of a business to 49%

 

etc, etc....

Classic EU. It's always take, take, take. What yours is mine, what's mine is my own. You cut, I choose etc. etc.

 

Never show any good will or reciprocity even when they claim that is it's policy. Projecting an image of virtue while (at least) one of their vice presidents does shady deals involving suitcases of cash. Don't hold your breath for any benevolence from the EU, Thailand... 

Yeah, true. We have already paid our sins by allowing all Africa to come over. Extending it to Asia would be too much. Selfish Europeans!

The reason Thais wear masks and not helmets, is simple. 

The wearing of one was based on a marketing campaign of terror. 

The other has never even been addressed by the government, who are too busy spending time and money putting up birthday bunting. 

You should always wear a helmet to protect the others ????

always pay on delivery, problem solved

It was Pay on Delivery

The headline says it all.

I have just purchased an article from Shopee Thailand. I received a totally different product. When I contacted Shope to send back this article and get a refund, they came up with loads of BS and petty excuses. They basically turned all responsibility on the customer (me) and suggested me to fill out a search warrant for the seller at the police station (which comes with a cost), in order for them to do some investigation into this issue. Apparently, they can't find the link between the sender and the seller, which is total BS because nobody can send a product that matches my address and exact price without having the information the company has about my order. Therefore, they have a mole, a hacker, or some m-phuker working at the company who is conveniently sharing the loot with who knows. Otherwise, it is hard to understand how this mishap could have ever happened.

I never had a problem with online shopping in Thailand before. Every time I had a problem, either Shopee or Lazada solved it in no time. However, it seems that they have changed their policies, or that some untruthful employees there are playing their little games, having some henchman at the customer's service department and working along with scammers to get away with their goals.

Just be warned that Shopee Thailand has changed the rules of the game, and every victim of a scam through their platform seems to be abandoned to their luck now, and now we have to deal with the delivery company, the police, and some corrupted but sweet mouthed customer's service scampresentative at Shopee ourselves.

I have just lost 300 baht. Let's call it a nuisance. But the trust I have lost, they will never get back. 

Fortunately, we still have Lazada.

One can't deny the name is intimidating. Regardless of what it contains, the marketing is done.

Nah, they do know. They are not telling the truth to keep their well cushioned jobs. Science is not independent, it is serving politics and big pharma. That’s why i prefer my naturally acquired antibodies. Not because i believe the vaccine does not work but because i don’t like being told lies. Some people are fine with being kept fools. Especially after they’d been brainwashed to fear.

Fear hampers judgement and it triggers survival mode. Then it starts a neverending runaway from peril to safety, always according to the protocols and guidelines you are told to follow. It is sad in all imaginable ways.

lol, when people die within 14 days of being vaxxed, pretty sure it was the vax that killed them, not the covid

Exactly. Plus providing that Covid's survival rate is 99.7%.... white in a bottle will most probably be milk.

In short a lot of deflections and half truths like expected from anti vaxers. Damm you guys really are lost

 

Of course you are unvaccinated after your first shot it takes 14 days to build up resistance. Damm are you really that thick or are you just acting. They don't use that unvaccinated term to get away from deaths from vaccination. They use it to show the difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated people who get the disease. Because the vaccines need time to work. Otherwise the antivaxers would use this to say vaccines are not working. 

 

So they just put the 14 days there and after that your protected and counted vaccinated but only for registration of people getting infected to see the difference vaccinated / not vaccinated. This has nothing to do with not wanting to register deaths because of vaccines.

When i got my vaccine this was clearly stated that the vaccine needs time to work (as do many other vaccines) so its logical to count someone as fully vaccinated 14 days after the second jab. 

 

Anyway you did not even reply to the question because you can't find credible sites because they don't show the misinformation your kind wants to spread.

I stopped reading with your first insult. That's everything people without arguments to defend the indefendible can do.
