That is completely cooked and looking at the water galleries its never had the correct coolant in it as its all rusty. Even though antifreeze is not a requirement here it should still have it in the coolant to protect from corrosion which obviously this one hasn't. Poor maintenance has caused this engine to blow. 
 

Get a 2nd hand engine from a breakers and have the radiator and coolant hoses all cleaned out. Possibly a new radiator is required. 
 

Maybe 10k from a breaker and 5k to fit it. 

How is it a scam? 
 

COD means Cash On Delivery. 
 

So you pay when goods are delivered to you and don't pay when they are not. 

We don't live in a farm house and if any unwanted visitors showed up they have to get past the electric fence CCTV, and Dobermans. If that doesn't stop them il set the wife on them. ????

Looks like a pretty good flick, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion as I've never heard of it before.

Its a true story and he has a YT channel and sometimes talks about his time in a Thai prison. Says things like when he was transferred to a UK prison from Thailand, UK prisoners were complaining about cold chips and Billy had been eating fish heads, chickens feet and these complain about cold chips  lol

Says he used to sleep next to dead bodies and witness rapes by knife point never mind cold chips. Lol

Idiots like this should watch the Billy Moore movie A Prayer Before Dawn. 
 

That movie will put off anyone thinking about robbing anyone here.

The Thai dog breed Bang Kaew is probably the best domestic guard dog for you.  They are both loving [BUT - only have one master] and exceedingly territorial.

 

A pure bred [with pedigree and Bang Kaew Kennel Club registration] is going to set you back about 10,000 baht and they need looking after.  My Bang Kaew is excellent but has to have top quality food and is regularly checked by the vet.  Expensive - yes, but Thais are very, very wary of Bang Kaews and will not go near where they are.   

 

If you have one they will be a great deterrent but be aware that you do not let them loose outside your property.  Anyone attempting to access your property could be subject to attack - and they do not let go!

 

We thought about a Bang Kaew after years of Dobermans and losing our latest one last year, but we decided to get another Doberman. 
 

We've only had Dobermans here and they protect our home just as we expect them too. If you want a Doberman PM me and il put you on to the best breeder in Thailand that breeds the best imported European bloodlines. Maybe too expensive for you though. 
 

If cost is an issue then how about a Thai Bangkeaw? These are available from 5,000 to 20,000. 
 

Lets just hope a friend of a friend is not an immigration officer.

Depends on pre/post paid, type of SIM, level of credit and most importantly the validity.

What I presume he meant was that 20 baht would extend its life for a further month if you had less than 12 months validity. That's generally how pre paid works - at least for AIS. 

 

However if I want to top up via SCB online banking the minimum top up is 50 baht which AFAIK will still only give you one month.

Wrong. Havent used my AIS number for 4 months while at work and Im -4.95 yes thats negative credit and still valid until 13 Nov 2023.

Yes, ensure you activate roaming in Thailand.

You dont need to activate it in Thailand. You can activate it anytime while your abroad, but you dont need data roaming for OTP.

AIS only requires 20 Baht/Month top up.

No they dont. Been away at work for 4 months and mines still working. 

Been doing this for many years with no problem. 
 

AIS is an e-SIM and work working abroad SIM is in my phone. 
 

Top up my Thai AIS number with my Kasikorn with data roaming turned off. Can receive OTP like this too.

That kind of thing seems normal. Sometimes I get annoyed when I ask a question in Thai and they ignore me and start talking to me wife. Sometimes she tells them to talk to me because i am the one who asked the question and she doesn't know what I want.

The same here. They look at my wife and give it the old "arai na" ????

This is normal for us too as I cant be bothered with carrying coins and 20THB notes about. I only carry 1,000 and 500THB notes, anything less goes in the wife's pocket.

please educate me for the reason for this?

I have 2 British passports too. Its for visa reasons as I work in many different countries. 1 passport can be away getting a visa for the next country il be working in. 

Quality tourists.  

Has everyone on here been getting these calls and messages since they used their number for a Thailand Pass as it all started for me recently after I used my number for TP and I never give out my number to anyone. 

Where are you planning to keep all this cash?

Why not take it to a bank and open an account here with it? Then withdraw as and when needed. 
 

I hope you don't plan on carrying it around with you or leaving it a hotel safe. 

Ive been using Fedex or DHL lately. Its 500THB more than Thailand Post and gets there in 4 days.
