From Swampy....

Highway 7 towards BKK for a couple of kms

Highway 9 (bangkok ring road) towards min buri / bangpa in (can't remember but NORTH!)

Highway 1/32 follow the signs to Nakhon Sawan, Chia Nat is approx 60kms before NS

Approx 2 1/2 - 3 hours drive

Lend me your dogs for a couple of days to rid my house of my FIL little buggers - just washed the car and the <snippers> have taken a dump on it in 10 minutes!

If you haven't got the 'brown book' then the plates are dodgy (have they got an embossed government stamp?), most dealers ask for a small deposit for the real red plates and brown book which is returned once your white plates are issued

upvc 'casement' windows is what you need - IF you really think the noise is coming through your windows

I've done a search and found some great info on income tax but I have a couple of questions still to be answered.........

1- Is there any way my step daughter can be counted as a child a I support (which I do!) in the eyes of the Thai tax man?

2 - I heard about tax deductions if you take out health / life insurance / pensions - any info on this?

TIA

Go to victory monument and get a mini bus - bag the front seat - if its gone the old girl at the counter likes a chocolate bar to bump someone - or book 3 seats and take a row and sleep for the journey

21 days for Chevrolet Colorado - get it this Friday

110+ views and NONE of the TV motor Mafia have ANYTHING to say

Chap that works at the same company as me who has been here 30 + years used to work for the Thai finance ministry and was asked to do the Thai road signs etc in English as an extra job so people could actually pronounce the Thai word correctly but as nobody offered ANY extra money he didn't..............

The only road signs I've seen in Thailand so far that actually reads in English how it should be said in Thai are 2!

Different banks will use different rates.................

Blue bartender is one i've seen and heard good reports about - google is your friend

a little off topic but I got replacement plate for my company car in 3 days (this week)..................... the boss called the transport dept, .........if you know the right people or pay for tea it doesn't take long

I don't find it a drama on the highway better than a others not as sure footed as a Jazz/city in the price range but close feels alot better than yaris/soluna and march that I test drove. Its the wife's car so mainly used for short trips around town. But I've done Nakhon Sawan down to Hua Hin/Bkk/Pattaya with out any dramas a few times.

Overall pretty happy with the car and the service from the local Mazda garage.

I have a company car and are hopefully going to get a new one in the very near future!

Work are just about to order my new 'company car' this week, which was chosen for me (not really worried as I'm not paying and it fits the bill of what i need and require!) - 4 door 2.8 Colorado LTZ

Anyone on here got one?

What's it like?

How long did it take from order to keys in hand?

What freebies are on offer?

Thanks

I too don't think the biz class seats on Emirates A380 are that good - I prefer the Etihad biz class. Emirates does win on the lounge at swampy though.

Tank and pump it will be............................ anyone seen/used/know how much one of these would be ?

At my house in the centre of Nakhon Sawan the mains water pressure has become increasing LOW..........................

All of the neighbours house's are the same.

The house / rooms are all at ground level.

My thoughts were to install a small 1000-2000 Litre tank with float switch on the water inlet, raised above ground level and let gravity do its job rather than install a pump.

Any thoughts...........

I'd only think about it if I lived near the sea

I got freebies 4 years ago when I got my 3.0G inc bed liner 3M film, mats, rear seat, chrome bling bits for the door sills, full tank of juice, window shades and 1st class ins.

About 220B ish taxi from Swampy to Victory Monument (century - Suzuki car garage is next to the mini bus station) then mini bus to NS about 200B ish is what I have done in the past, buses run every hour and you can book the seat - if your not Thai sized get the front seat next to the driver. approx 2 hours 45 mins journey but depends on what time you leave Bangkok and its traffic

MP3 - I don't think so!

This not so old cat CAN tell the difference !

Thanks for all the tips people!

As the title says where in Bkk can I get original CD's.

Otherwise I'm going to have to chance it will import mail order........

I guess 1500B might get you a case from PA&CASE - you could try having a look round 'Ban Moh' aka china town as well - depends how long you want it to last.
