1. Clean pigeon droppings on balcony

2.Buy a cap gun and shoot when pigeons are nearby.

Repeat.

This worked for me.

I've read the NST article. It refers to the rural Siamese community in Northern Malaysia who have not registered their marriages in Malaysia.

I think it would be beneficial for these people to register their marriages as the Siamese people in Malaysia enjoy bumiputra status.

Very lucky it hit just at the reinforced part of the door near the handle or it would have penetrated, they reinforce that part to keep it from being broken into & stolen too easily. As for the damage the best way to do it though likely here no one will, is to leave the dent drill a small hole in the center to allow the plastic to penetrate and give it grip strength and fill it with plastic (bondo or other) and then smooth and repaint, very unlikely a new door will be provided. Knocking it out from the inside or welding of any kind will surely leave much more distortion due to the size of the dent it will push the surrounding metal outwards and never look right as the metal is now stretched..

My question is though, does the door operate ok? Lock, unlock, open and close as this may have damaged the mechanism or interfere with it now..

Like T/A says though on a flat surface like that it's very hard to match silver.. One thing that will help though is that they don't paint the entire door, have them just paint down to the edge just below the handle and all the way to the door frames and the cars lines will mask the color difference, they can sand with a fine grit emory cloth & buff out the edge so it blends and doesn't show (a good body shop can at least) .. The smaller the surface area painted the less it will catch your eye and painting the whole door it would then be framed in a different color and mostly on a flat surface so it will stand out pretty obviously.

Door operates normally. The car colour is gold. Thanks for all the useful info.

They're "speed holes"

actually no, you don't need to change the door. A new factory door from Honda is a really pricey item, so I doubt your insurance would cover it.

I think I saw a close up picture of the damage from the news forum thread (I think that was you but it could have been made by someone else that was hit).

It appeared that the bullet did not penetrate the door skin but just left a dent. (It also appears that it was a home made bullet or else it would have pierced the passenger compartment). It can be fixed by removing the inner door panel and pushing out the dent from the inside. Probably a little body filler (not much) and a spot painting and you are done.

Is there any other damage besides a dent (or did the bullet actually penetrate the passenger compartment)?

P.S. Glad you are OK.

Thanks. That was my car in the news forum. The bullet did not penetrate the passenger compartment.

My car was hit in the gang battle in Ekamai on Friday. Do I need to change the door? I am insured.

My car was hit while I was driving past Ekamai.

Vietnam tv and knowledge package.

In March 2012 Mercedes was selling the E200, 5 speed auto at THB 3.69 million. I waited for the 'new' 7 speed model with comand online at THB 3.79 million. Those were the only options available at that time for E200 CGI.

It's an E200 not a C200

I called the dealer and insisted on a car with the comand online system. The car will arrive soon.

I ordered a new E200 with comand online system from the authorized dealer in March. The sales lady called yesterday to say the car has arrived without the command online system. They would like to offer a discount of THB 50,000 instead.

Should I accept the car? What should I do? Thee dealer claims the newest model does not come with this system.

Try Soi Sun Wichai 14, off Ekamai. There is a Audi, Seat, VW workshop there.

Ok. I will get the car from MB Thailand.

After much consideration, I have decided to purchase the Mercedes E200 CGI.

In your opinion, would you buy the E200 in Elegance trim through the official dealer at THB 3.79 million or would you buy via the grey market an E200 in the higher spec Avantgarde trim at THB 3.5 million? An example of the grey market import I have in mind is attached.

I know that the official Mercedes dealer gives a 3 year warranty and a discount of about 3%.

I would appreciate any comments especially from people who have bought grey market imports. Thanks.

Is this dog breed available in Thailand? I would like to buy one.

I am considering the C200, but have will go for the Elegance trim. I called 7 dealers yesterday, and the best I got was a discount of THB 50,000 or free car insurance of THB 55,000.

How would the S60 compare against the Merc C200 which starts at THB 2.15 million?

The Mercedes should hold its value better.

I've been there twice in 2 weeks.

The meatballs taste different to those in Ikea, Malaysia.

I spend THB10,000 on petrol a month so the price cut on unleaded 91 is great.

I may even 'upgrade' to unleaded 95.

I know this is an old thread.

My family and I use Samitevej quite a lot. I'm not farang. I saw Dr. Wichian recently who prescribed Zyloric to reduce my uric acid levels (which he said was 99% safe) after 1 month of 'no eating chicken' diet did not work. Zyloric caused gastrics problem which the Dr. Wichian did not warn me. I should have 'googled' it instead of trusting him. I then visited Dr. Prasert who in my opinion has poor patient communication skills. He scared me saying I may have liver damage as my liver enzymes were elevated. He could not explain to me clearly in English and left me really worried after seeing him.

I changed doctors the next day.

Samitevej Sukhumvit has dual pricing policy for foreigners and Thais. MY GP in Samitevej charges THB 800 while my wife is charged THB 600 for consultations.

Generally, I find doctors in Bumrungrad better than Samitevej. I will also research my doctors qualifications in the future.

Can anyone advise how I can buy gold options in LOS. Do I need to trade through banks which are members of the LBMA, i.e. HSBC, Nova Scotia, Deutsche etc?

Thanks.

2004 Accord 2.4

1999 Civic

Had both since new. The Civic has been regularly visiting Honda workshop this year. Replaced shock adsorbers, repaired oil leak, brake pads, changed timing belt etc etc etc.

Not impressed with Honda Ekamai & have switched to Honda Si Ayutthaya which I feel is better.

But the then the authorities in this country are too stupid to understand the advantages of good quality European cars, especially German ones.

It's not Thai authorities, it's Germans. All they need to do is to invest in local production and supporting industries, like Japanese did. They prefer to import all their parts instead, pay shitloads in taxes, and milk rich Thais with their ridiculous prices.

VW is a complete screw up here, management wise, but at least they are still present. What if something goes wrong with Seat? Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters?

Sorry ...was laughing too much.

I used a 'fair bit' of thermal compound. I've removed the x-clamps, polished the chips, etc etc. Its been working ok for 3 days now.

I had a wireless problem with my X-Box 360. The console was previously repaired for '3RLOD' in Bangkok.

Decided to DIY this time.

Here is a picture of the Thai technician's work. I like the use of tooth picks.
