I would expect the visual check would be part of a normal service, but until you ask them directly you'll never know. I did a 1600 Ford cambelt at the dealers for under 7,000 baht, all in, last year.

Burnout

Normally it is a visual check, but unless you go round the whole timing system and check pulleys, water pump, etc. I'd want an assurance from them it is ok, in writing, or if it goes you'll be left with the bill.

Full Kit (Including Tensioners/Water Pump): If replacing the tensioners and water pump as recommended, costs can exceed ฿7,000+ THB. versus Authorized Service Center (New Engine): A completely new factory 2.4L engine (4N15) can cost around 150,000–200,000+ THB, including labor and smaller parts (gaskets, fluids, etc.).

No idea why they haven't mentioned it, the only thing I can think of is that they have checked it and it was OK. I would definitely ask them the question, asap, as I said if it does go the engines toast.

Metal

You've had 12 years out of it, the mileage is irrelevant, the belts deteriorate with age, if it does go suddenly you'll need a new engine.
