Can only go by my wife's family's experience with Honda. Four purchased and no real issues. Using their insurance is great too, all in house repairs and courtesy car etc

Hi Cook. Can you elaborate on Honda's own insurance? I was thinking that if it's not free then I'd stay with my current insurer to retain the no claims. But if Honda cover in-house repairs and a courtesy car that would be a better deal. Thanks for any info.

I believe Honda doesn't have it's own insurance but works as a broker. From Honda website:

Another service is car insurance with Honda Automobile Insurance Brokers Co., Ltd. that offers great coverage from many of the leading insurance companies.

I did get my insurance through Honda and it was for Viriyah Insurance which I found excellent.

Cost seems to be about double that for the Astute class (hunter killer - Trafalgar class replacement) which is nuclear powered and has cruise missiles and the best underwater physics in the world! The French must be good salesmen!

Well thanks for all your views i am ordering the 1.5 version (not rs) in pearlesent white

Not sure how much extra in the colour will cost maybe 30k?

Going to leave a deposit Monday and told they can deliver by friday 20th earlier if i take standard white

More excited than the wife and its her car hahaha.

PS. Both their website and brochure say pearl white is an extra 10k.

And black for 6k extra. Disregard the 1.8 in the scan below, it is the same price difference for all variants. Not sure why black has to be a premium.

Thailand only gets the faster Exynos models.

U got it other way around it.

He's got it correct.

There are two variants of the Samsung Galaxy S7: a US version with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor and the International version with the Exynos 8890 octa-core processor.

Galaxy S7 Snapdragon 820 Vs. Galaxy S7 Exynos 8890: Speed Tests Show Samsung’s Chip Destroys Qualcomm’s

They did say it was the hottest season in 65 years.

Any reason why the SD 820 over the Exynos? The Exynos is 8 core vs the 820's quad and reviews show it to be faster performer.

If you are connected to a VPN but using a whoami check and it still sees your local (Thailand) IP then probably due to WebRTC. If running Firefox then you can use this plugin, Chrome has a similar plugin - Disable WebRTC

Or you can just do the below using about:config in Firefox. I use the about:config myself.

Mozilla Firefox users can actually turn off the default WebRTC functionality directly in Firefox settings by typing ‘about:config’ into the search bar and browsing to the ‘media.peerconnection.enabled’ option and setting it to FALSE.

"WebRTC leaks your actual IP addresses from behind your VPN, by default."

I previously had LG, I now buy Mitsubishi Mr Slim

Hmm, why that ? Not happy with LG or Mitsu just better (nowadays) ?

I had 2 new LGs put in by the house owner and they both failed in one fashion or another just over one year. If going for Mitsu, go for Mitsu Heavy not Mitsu Electric. Parts much easier with the Heavy brand. Had to wait several weeks for a replacement outside fan motor whereas the tech said he could got the motor for Mitsu Heavy within a day or two.

Daikin is probably one of the highest rated here and P.K. Air, they have several branches around CM, handle it. P.K. Air also handles most other brands though. The house I'm in now has 5 Saijo Denkis which have been doing fine and a common brand so parts should be no issue.

PS have the fees gone down? I thought the card renewal fee was 400 last time, so didn't even think it might be the case now.

From the Bangkok Bank site:

There is an annual 200 Baht fee for Be1st card so perhaps it came up now.

Look here http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/881743-public-holidays-2016/

But the answer to your question, they are closed May 2nd

.....although there seems some alternative opinions....http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/913361-immigration-closed-days/

Thanks for that, I always thought that when on the Thaivisa Calendar the days are RED then everything is closed.

Thanks again, I will edit my original post

Believe next time I will use a different color for observed days, which is what I put labor day under, and full government holidays.

But yes, immigration will be open on Monday. My May list of holidays posted in the Chiang Mai forum - May holidays

There are a few places online: May have to contact them regarding lava rocks.

Price seems reasonable. This is the total cost of components if purchased from J.I.B. including Corsair Case sans DVD/mouse/keyboard - 55370 Baht. J.I.B. usually has some of the best prices.

There's only one way to deal with an RTA here and that it to let your insurance company deal with everything. If you don't have proper insurance, bend over and open wide...

How many motorbike riders have insurance?

Everyone that has a current tax sticker. Can't get it without at least compulsory insurance. Though in this case the payout is a pittance compared to the quoted real expenses above.

It's not only below what the Thai government considers the safe point of 120, even meets the US standard of 50. Below 50 now for 14 hours. Around 43 hours under 120.

I now remember that flood control has been in effect for Thaivisa for many years. This is the first mention of it in a very long time so clearly it is your posting style that is causing it to trigger.

"The administrator has limited the number of new posts you can submit within a short time frame. Please wait 14 seconds before replying or posting a new topic." - I'd say I get this on between 50% and 75% of my replies to TV

I'm checking to see if this is a temporary flood prevention mechanism to reduce server loading.

The rain and winds have certainly brought the levels down significantly.

That's good to know, Cook, thanks. I also noticed that insurance of 28,000 is added onto the price of the car on the price list (the one with the finance terms). This indicates that insurance is not free for the first year. Can that be right?

I think Honda doesn't give out 1st year insurance. I didn't get it when I purchased my City ... I remember reading about this on the 'net that Honda doesn't give out 1st year insurance like many others.

Same here for my Civic, no free insurance. However they dropped the price by 26,000 Baht for me to do with as I will such as accessories, Insurance or just a straight reduction in the price.

Steady rain in the inner city!

And in Mae Rim.
