If it is injected then the onboard ecu (COMPUTER) controls the mixture at different temperatures to start and run the motor. The problem is many sensors. One fails and your stuffed. Connection to a main agent computer diagnostic ''should'' reveal all.

does he wear cologne? If so, I would recommend that. 1000-1500 baht for a small bottle of name brand cologne, and it will be something that will last a long time and remind him of you everytime he uses it. I have 3 bottles from three different g/fs (over a period of 5 years) and I love them. If he doesn't wear cologne, go for a cool beer mug. You can get some funny/interesting beer glasses/mugs at "Betrend" and "Propaganda".

I lost mine cos she thought l had more interest in a BigMac or a Whopper with cheese. She was right. .....................................................................

Its a shame that many people on here have so many of their own issues they want to push instead of just answering the request.

I have known my girlfriend for many years and even though she is a bit crazy at times she is completely straight with me. She spent 4 months with me in Uk and only went back in september and that was her 6th visit here.In addition I visit thailand most years.We probably would be more involved but for my struggling business interests here in Uk.

She phoned saying she had been in Cambodia no signal.She buys at Cambodian markets on the Thai side of the border.For the first time she was invited by a trader she deals with to see some new stock that had just arrived from the USA at his godown.

Thanks for the few helpful comments.

, come on, we guys all have a fetish.

Well there is some truth in that. At my first jobs 40+ years ago, the in house macho handsome football hero / most elegible bachelor / man with a known track of dozens of 'victories', always insisted that he was entitled to the panties of the 'new conquest', and he always wore them to work the next day.

Whenever there was a suitable 'audience' present in the office (men and women) he would pull his shirt out of his trousers then pull the edge of the panties above the top line of his trousers for all to see / ensuring that all did see.

Did this action dimish his macho image? No!

But did he have some private cross dress fantasy / desire? Who knows.

BUT, might wager he had no conquests and liked shopping in Marks & Spencers.

I love Merc's, but alas no wonga. ...............................

They have to do this cos the paid cops are busy running their own businesses.

In conclusion.

Stay away from Internet Dating sites.

Ok, I admit it. I'm a masochist - I must be to keep returning to this thread to read the rants of the moral policemen - but they are so entertaining I can't resist. (And I do want to know if the OPs friend is ok).

Thank Allah that masochism is not illegal, otherwise the TV Morality Squad would criticize me too. But since its not illegal, I know they will just smile indulgently while I put on my rubber suit and handcuffs, and wait for Madam and more TV posts.....

Any numnut knows what happens if one is caught with stuff in LOS, BUT, numnuts think l will not be caught, will not happen to me.

END of STORY.

He was caught, so numnut must smile and see what happens eh.

If it were my friend l would tell him not to f---- around with stuff in LOS on your business trip.

Is it really so common to buy your way out of a situation like that or is this just expat hyperbole?

And whilst some eating/drinking places here certainly do charge Western prices there are plenty of others that dont, including some extremely good places that would not be at all out of place in Paris or London

ahem...

"i am bringing about 4000 cash, i do n ot use card in thailand"

Insanity, pure and simple.

Get a good, i.e. connected, lawyer asap.

#2 jeez, will you guys lay off a man and a bit of dope! If he is hurting anyone it is only himself. And when he is doping he is not doing a cartoon of jim bean or ciggies.

If a bearing had gone it will make a racket and Toyota would not clean it as a turbo bearing failure would be obvious to a mechanic.

My local big DIY store has zillions of staff standing around having a laugh doing nothing. BUT, they have an income. If it is raised, without a doubt half of them could be laid off with no affect on the running of the store.

Seems like the successful post are from gents with partners who did not sit around all day watching television or playing on the internet. If your girl has no interest in doing something like studying, working, starting a business or getting out of the house then it looks like trouble will happen very, very soon.

How true. I see a lot of the wives clinging to very Thai lifestyles - socialising with only other Thais, having their get togethers three times a week and gambling all their money away. That's fine, it's not for me to ssy or judge although I do sometimes wonder whether their husbands also prefer it this way, whether they don't care or whether they have no say in it.

In our situation, my wife chose her own path and did every one of those things you mention - undertook some study (language and other), got out and about to learn as much as she could take in, worked hard, raised kids and (we) started a business which she, more than I, made very successful.

Every couple of weeks we take the hour's drive down the highway to Brisbane's Chinatown. Every time we are there, the same group of middle-aged Thai women are sitting around gossiping in a shop owned by one of them and which sells/rents thousands of DVD's pirated from Thai soapies - a business that doesn't seem to do all that well but which they appear to cling to anyway. My wife has never shown an ounce of interest in what they're selling (she hates Thai soaps) and once said to me 'why did they come here to do that? They could do it in MBK'. I'm not judging them for living that sort of life - they are obviously content with it and my wife is content with the direction she has steered her life in. My point is simply that everybody's different and we can't really 'blame' someone for the way they choose to lead their life. Sometimes people we put in a box in the belief that they are 'all the same' don't even understand each other.

Very true Songhua.

Thai women come in all shapes and sizes of box and it seems pointless to make sweeping generalisations that encompass all of them.

Nowt wrong with people watching TV shows from their home country when abroad. I do it all the time.

While we think their soaps are of low value, they might also think the same of Benny Hill or Fawlty Towers.

A ''Business'' guy with dope in LOS.

Do not tell us his type of business, it might scare us. ...................................

Cheap Burmese labour, fire the Thais'

Thailand has an ATM virtually on every street corner. Noooooooooooooo need to carry bundles of cash, a couple of cards is enough.

The only person you should tip in Thailand is your girlfriend/wife , and possibly her Mother.

Why on earth would I tip my wife or her family? Should I tip my children as well?

Cause a problem, pay the guy.

Lots of cheap charlies here.

Don't care what Anybody says here, but Thai ladies do not like farang land.. They are there to not worry about financial stuff. They don't like the weather, the early darkness or the food. When the honey moon period is over then . You may be lucky but l know a few farang that are paying a price.

Anyone else keen on making wide generalizations about Thai women. I, personally, know two who've been in the UK for 10 years.

They didn't rock up to immigration at Heathrow with old men, they remain unmarried, are both gainfully employed in respectable jobs and have no desire whatsoever to return to Thailand beyond family visitations.
