Now then, it is classified as a truck, so it should drive like a truck, feel like a truck.

On the other hand, 200-300 kilo in the back will work wonders.

Yes. Heard that before but wanted to try it out. Pickups aren't good for anything if you're not a farmer or a construction worker.

Iam neither a farmer or a construction worker and my pickup suits my needs perfectly

Bouncing?

Think you have never driven a ''late'' top of the range auto truck, excluding Isuzu.

So you canceled your new Dmax that we have heard all about with the piss resistant leather. ?

Never ordered it. You have to test first.

STILL nothing better than our Cruze.

So what was all that crap on the other thread about your new Dmax order ?

Will have to change plans now. It's not all that is cracked up to be.

I did try to tell you. Glad it sunk in.

Do they have to be alive or can we have resurrections?

Elvis, Orbison and zillions more are gone but NEVER forgotten by the living.

Moving to Pub as the more appropriate forum

Nooooooooooooooooooo pub, this is music from era's not to be replaced.

Those that can afford it leave the country. Perfect opportunity with a string of public holidays, weekend and a dash of annual leave to string it all together.

The airport is packed with thai ppl bugging out

Ohhhh, they don't have their own lounge with TV eh.

Are we all the same age here. ? Yardbirds would bring back some fond memories. .......

I always lend money to people I don't want to see again.

Give me your phone number. ........................

How long does Loy Krathong last?

As long as YOU want.

As the topic was not WD40 I may say you should never spray a mobile phone with it after giving the phone a one hour bath in a washing machine. The phone works OK but the big bubble of wd40 really makes the display hard to read.

Aaaaaaaah, but, if he had a snort measure of Coka Cola the story could be a wee bit different eh.

Why does a dog lick its balls?

Cos they can.

The need for an IDP to accompany the UK license has been discussed on here before and I believe more people think an IDP is not required. However you can only drive on the UK license for a period of 6 months (again some people disagree and say up to 3 months) then a Thai license is required.

It is normal here for the car to be insured, not the driver, either for any valid driver or named drivers, when a discount is given, but please read the small print on the policy as some insurance companies state that a Thai driving license is required to be covered.

Not a problem for day to day driving but if you are unlucky enough to have a major accident insurance companies have been known to use any loophole to avoid paying out.

Looking forward to the fine print in which an insurance company states a Thai driving license is required.

DO NOT assume anything in LOS. OP, contact insurance company.

Cruise control should be banned. All it does is allow drivers to hog the centre lane going, usually, slower than the rest of the traffic.

No. Stupid drivers should be banned. Cruise control is great.

Stupid drivers in LOS WITH cruise control.

Never lend money, full stop. She probably lost it gambling again. Same up here in the NE, heard it all before.

Farangs, do not lend money.

I never lift the hood but have seen taxi drivers tend to do it a lot. I think they lift the hood to cool the engine and also extend the life of the rubber hoses and other parts of the car engine. I don't think there is any benefit in cooling the engine block itself.

Surely it goes a bit further than there being no benefit in cooling the engine block itself. Surely it is of a detriment to cool the engine block. Engine block runs most efficiently when they are hot. Cooling them down so as to help save rubber hoses and other auxiliary components seems a bit daft.

Exception of course is if the car has a problem with over-heating. But as i say, in my neighbourhood the people that do this hood raising thing aren't the people running ten year old ragged taxis, they are people with brand new cars who don't travel very far. Seems silly to me.

I do it when home as ''perhaps'' a battery longevity exercise.

I tried to understand what you were saying OP, but had to give up. If you care to explain in more detail, I'll give it another go.

Me too, and l am sober.

if you want a girl half your age why would you do anything other than pay her salary monthly like you would the maid?

indeed

even bigger question to ask, if you have girl half your age how can even you fool yourself that it be true love!??

Think thats another topic.

Get an IDP and get the lass to phone her insurance company to confirm you can drive with her cover, best safe than sorry eh,

Sounds fair to me, apart from the weird rules on sick leave.

Basically 15 two-day paid sick leaves can be taken per year, without the need for any piece of paper.

No paper needed means it's just paid holidays.

Where is the employer protected here? Can he send over a control doctor?

I'd rather see them get a 5 day working week, and get rid if a sick leave system wide open to abuse.

Sent from my GT-I9001 using Thaivisa Connect App

More or less the same rules as UK.

OK so the guy knifed it, which is not pretty, but we do not know what led up to the story here. If me and a problem then a whack with a baseball bat would have sorted it, no blood and no crying from some here.

PS, thats not a Golden Retriever. it's a cross of oooodles of dogs.

Bugs will eat the plaster board on walls and the wood. Thai folk are not interested in ''cosmetics'' so everything is visible to take care of if an infestation.

Was aiming for the deep end of the pool.

If your happy like we are then noooooooo worries.

If you can't keep yourself busy, bluie, you have no business living in Isan. Simple as that.

I'm not busy.

At last a sound reply. I never understood why people would come to live here and be so busy all the time that they don't even have time for a walk. Surely stress is not good but stress in 32C temperature is really bad.

Yes, indeed, Tanaka, a walk is a necessity for most people to keep themselves reasonably fit. I walk for two hours or more a day.... and call that part of keeping busy. Being busy doesn't have to be stressful.

Wow, you walk 2 hours a day, every day on or near Thai roads, hmmmmm, think your life expectancy really has taken a dive unless you walk around with a flashing light on your head or walk in front of an elephant. ...............................
