An Indian pal of mine told me a couple of years back about the exact same thing,his words were "they look for gormless/unintelligent looking westerners in order to try and scam them".....
Just now, JimTripper said:How would that scam work? They are in a foreign country. Do they force me to buy a watch in a back alley somewhere.
As another poster has earlier replied.....ask them

Possibly because a MG won't make it past 4 years. And their values will be next to nothing by than. Those that know , know I'm not exaggerating.

Last September, I sold an MG ZS EV which was just over 4 years old. Got a fair price for it.
It drove like new and looked like new the day I sold it.
Lots of knowledgeable folk come on here LOL....

BS Nissan wanted 1,200b for a cabin filter. Nissan Juke.
They try everything on, before it goes in the workshop they give you a bill to sign, I have to cross out all the items I haven't asked for.
I had a Nissan Sylphy....same engine and many other parts as the Duke....240 baht fitted for the cabin filter....after warranty expired I fitted it myself around 160 baht incl post from Lazada/Shoppee drop the glovebox 4 screws and its there,30 minutes max.....someone was taking the urine out of you.

They call it a Guarantee, but it aint free, Air filters, cabin filters both 1,000+ each Lazada 198b delivered, inspection 500b ? I always thought that was part of a service not an added charge, Go in for just an oil/filter change cost around 2k, presented with a bill for 4.5 K ........ Oh but we flushed it, and put some additive in the fuel tank, was not what I asked for. Ripoff is the only guarantee you get.
I`ve owned Nissan and MG cars here....4 in total....and your comments are ridiculous cabin and air filters for both come in at 240 baht or less and fitted.....500 baht inspection,you`re in cloud cuckoo land.

My tank will last a week normally....I don`t shower often as it helps in keeping the neighbours at bay

The Red King, entire season just out.
Remake of The Wicker Man with a female police sergeant of Indian descent in the lead role.
Not to mention the lady of the manor is black and the retired policeman has a mail order Thai bride.
Surprisingly good with a bit of tongue in cheek wokeness, decent acting, and well written.
Beautiful scenery and photography.
Well worth a watch.
Subtitles wanted please....cannot find any?

Why?
I rent a couple of one bedroom Thai houses for 3,000 baht a month each. Price went up this year from 2,500 baht per month.
Personally I would not want to live in one but staff are quite happy to stay there.
There are village houses nearby to me going for 1,000 baht per month...but we are not talking about village houses it`s about a Holiday Rental in a Tourist Island......
