Depends how large the body of water is... 

 

If they are 'lotus plant pots' etc (without Fish in them to eat the larvae) then they are breeding grounds.

 

The issue then of course is convincing the locals of an unseen danger....   they don't wear helmets, how are you going to get them to add some chlorine to standing water or get rid of the lotus plant pots, and other area's of pooled water ?

 

This is the issue with living in a poor under educated community - these issue's are not a primary concern for people trying to make ends meet so they can eat.

Another point - as its hot most of the year, our doors / windows are always closed and the AC is always on when we are inside - this perhaps helps avoid getting bitten by these nasty creatures... 

 

And I use the word creatures not insects, as when I was on Koh Samet, we went down to one of the beaches and were attacked by 100's of these mini-dinosaurs ... (exaggeration, yes, but it felt like death by a 1000's bites at the time regardless of how much mozzie repellant we had on us).

I heard Samet has a Giant Species

The greatest success of the Von Der Leydens of the western world has been to fool most of the people that "democracy" actually exists, when IMO it's blindingly obvious that it doesn't.

I think many (most, all) new bikes have the lights on all the time, or automatically switched on.

The police could enforce this - if they would want to do it.

It’s not the electronics it’s the laziness and cheapness , plus they don’t want ghost following them lol

I don’t have any words…

Honda Jazz or Toyota Yaris would be far better options for many service centers. MG doesn't have many outside larger cities, and independent garages aren't very good at fixing them. A former colleague had MG3 which was more at service center than he used it, so that would certainly not be the model to recommend.

 

But Jazz or Yaris are cheap, generally reliable and easy to fix. Unless they've been smashed and glued back together before being sold. So be very careful with what you're buying.

Toyota and Honda are the cars and trucks of Thailand, Reliability is Key
