    My neighbour swapped his 2010 Vios with 240k km,  for a 2011 Captiva with 110k km, which has turned out to be a lemon.
    Things keep breaking on it, the seat adjuster, tailgate lock mechanism, door mirror adjuster etc. Ordering parts has been a nightmare for him.
    10 weeks wait for an oil seal, something to do with a transmission rebuild following an oil leak. (It's still got a slight oil leak!)
    Now it's in for starter motor problems after a breakdown, 3 weeks and counting. All the work is being done by an authorised Chevvy garage. I picked him up last time it was towed there and the adjacent field was full of older Chevvies (many Captivas) apparently waiting for parts. 
    Just saying .......

     

    It's a Chevrolet. One of the worst American manufactures, ahead of Chrysler though. Don't waste your time. Buy a used Toyota instead.

  2. I went through this in Vietnam while my passport was waiting at the Chinese embassy for a visa. No problem getting rooms with photocopies.

     

    Some touts which we were ignoring killed a couple of hotels by saying we had no passports but when going to a hotel cold no issues at all. We were moving almost daily doing halong bay, etc while the passports were in Hanoi.

    Hi , I looked at the cost of a new battery and its around 2,000 Baht , and the Laptop is really old , so knowing my luck I would buy and install a new battery and the week after the mother board would pack up 😀

    Old laptops love Linux. If it was sufficient before the battery issues then just replace (or have replaced) the battery. If it was lacking then go for something new.

    More censorship of free speech, nothing more, nothing less :coffee1:

     

    Politicians can't take the truth being exposed about them.

    Hardly free speech. Try posting something on TikTok that is critical of the Chinese handling of the Uyghurs and see how long it takes for it to get removed.

    Also from the above source OP:

     

    Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement that, “While respecting the Court’s decision, we believe that the Court did not afford appropriate significance to the prosecutorial misconduct of Willis and Wade.”

     

    “We will use all legal options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place,” he added.

     

    Willis's office did not immediately comment on the ruling.

     

     

    Who cares what Trump's attorney says? You think that's important?

    Back in Phuket, an Italian neighbor has been operating an illegal bike rental biz without problems. In the nearby vicinity, there are Russians operating car rentals, the Russian employee sitting behind the counter and taking bookings while authorities don't give a sh$t.

    Report them, or have a Thai you know report them. There's probably a reward of some sort available.
