2014 Ford Focus 1.6 Auto petrol, E20 fuel, 7lts per 100 kms = 14.28kms per litre at 40 kms per hour on average, currently paying around 34.00 baht per litre, so 2.38 baht per km on fuel. Local Ford Main dealer maintains car, on average around 6k Baht per service, including parts, oil change every 7000 kms, had 3 services, one was a cambelt and water pump change. total cost for 3 oil changes/services 18k baht for 25k kms, around 1.39 baht per km. 6500 baht for a years insurance, top tier, in UK I would call it "Fully Comprehensive Insurance". 1650 baht for test for year. Servicing, insurance and test = around 850 baht for a weeks motoring. I do about 5k kms a month on average, which is around 12k baht in fuel. To me a total cost of under 4k baht a week is about right, all in, for the convenience alone its worth it, as I'm out in the sticks.

Looks good, have you got a link to the seller on Lazada, please.

I've found F/B Marketplace a good source of cheap used cars over here, okay if you know what you're looking at, and know a bit about cars.

I'm a 70 year old Englishman, now living happily in Phisanulok out in the sticks with my 55 year old girl friend, she is a devout Buddhist and I have no religion. She is a great believer in having massages on a regular basis and I decided to give it a go out of curiosity. To be honest I was a bit skeptical at first but now after 2 different hour long sessions with 2 different ladies she has put me in the hands of a blind man, from what I can gather he is ex-military and lost most if not all of his sight. I had an hours session on Monday which was completely different to the 2 Ladies both of which have great reputations locally. I have just finished a 2 hour session which while painful in places, I now feel fantastically calm and at peace with the world, is this normal? I suppose what I would like to know is this perhaps a way to a better life and has anyone else on here have any experience of something similar or any advice they would like to share.
