    Would be nice if folk with a Toyota Fortuner (Vigo) would come forward to say their ride started making noises after 10 or even 100,000km....Cos I have never heard this stuff...

    I have a Vigo Champ.  I bought the single cab off the showroom floor in Bangkok because I was building a house out in the sticks (few construction shops and no deliveries out here).  Ok it has not done a lot of kms in those 3 years...only 25,000 kms.  But most have been hard kms.  Many many full loads of construction materials, tiles etc from Udon 2 hours away.  I am heavy footed on the road as well.  Trips out to the farm on unsealed roads with full loads of bagged fertilizer or the other way with full loads of bagged rice or firewood.  If I blindfolded you and put you in this pickup today you would swear it was brand new...no squeeks or rattles at all.  The only time it does squeek or rattle is on shopping trips with the wife lol!

  2. Its pretty simple really.  If you want a good ,reliable, trouble free vehicle that you will be happy with for years..buy the Toyota.  If you are not concerned about the above qualities but instead looking for something that looks big, comes in bright colours and you can drive around yelling look at me, look at me, then you want the Ford (thats why the Thais like em).

    Vegemite our poor mans caviar 

     

    thanks, you really made my day, especially with the happy little vegemites.  However, I must say I am disappointed with Oprah liking it.  I much prefer the 'its disgusting' comments because that means there is more for us connoisseurs.  

     

    The poster promoting Ketchup???  There is a serious problem there.

     

    Coincidentally I am right now enjoying vegemite on a nice fresh french stick for lunch while catching up with the TV.com news.  I was really hoping they might have some more of those "Why do airplanes have wings?" type posts.  They really help my arvo nap!

    do not muck around with a shed buy an old 6 metre container, totalbly lockable, and you do can any thing with, even acts as a big safe !

     

    If you go this way put a second roof at least 60cm higher above it otherwise incredibly hot.  I worked in the NW of West Australia and thats the setup we used.  Still very hot but better than without the extra roof.

    The police are doing a good job in their campaign to change Pattaya's sleazy image. In Australian press described as "police raid orgy in Pattaya, often referred to as the sex and prostitution capital of the world" Great advertising for sex tourism. Expect even more Australian tourists.

    Yes I wonder if the cops will be charged with spoiling Thailands reputation lol!  They just seem to make things worse for themselves.

  7. First of all I am circumcised and I have a penchant for oral sex.  I have had a lot of sex partners and I can tell you I have had to train most of them because I get the feeling all men are different.  Many times I have had a sex partner who I felt has been useless to the point that I'm thinking "do you really think this is exciting me??"  "Did this really turn on your previous partner?"  I have come to the conclusion that all men are built different and therefore we dont all get turned on by the same method.  Try to instruct your partner in what feels good for you without making her feel inadequate.

     

    If your history portrayed by a few of the previous posts is correct I would  also suggest you dont go reading medical journals etc.  In the past I was one who was always worried about my health due to family history and would, in my mind, seem to have every symptom of every disease or ailment known to man after looking in those books or online.  I wont go near them now and live a happy healthy life.

    All I can say is, I had many tourist visits to Thailand as an American before moving here. And of all those, I can't ever remember one time where I ended up sitting at a mini-mart/grocery store drinking and socializing (?) with three Burmese construction workers, or any Burmese construction workers for that matter. I must have missed that part of the tourist routine.

     

    Not unusual for Thais drinking out front near roadside to invite you to join them, happened to me many many times when working in Bangkok and also in my village now.  Burmese construction workers I cant say but wouldnt imagine any different especially if they have been here a while.  Maybe I just have a friendly face.

    "Nuttapon stated that he was driving at a normal speed, and was avoiding a parked motorcycle on the side of the road when he crashed with Fon."

     

    Typical!  I see this every day!  Thai drivers don't understand that if something is blocking their way, they should slow-down or stop, if it's unsafe to overtake.

     

    A couple of weeks ago, I was travelling along a dual-carriageway.  A motorcyclist, oblivious to his surroundings, came-out from a side road.  The car in-front of me had time to slow-down, but just pulled-out to overtake, right into the side of an overtaking pickup.  The motorcyclist didn't even give them a glance, and carried-on, in his virtual dreamworld.

     

    I used to like driving, even in Thailand, but the roads are getting more dangerous by the day.  If it wasn't for the packs of soi dogs, I'd prefer to walk the short journeys.

    You stand a better chance with the rabid soi dogs I think.
