  1. Many women who park in Lady Parking are afraid of the male security guards who have the benefit of:

     

    Knowing the layout e.g. blind spots from cameras, exits and escapes etc.

    Having the legitmate convenience of scoping out potential targets.

    Often being the only person around when women exit or enter their vehicles.

    Tempted everyday by watching unaccompanied women walking around pre-occupied with texting or chatting on cellphones entering/exiting their cars without observing their surroundings.

     

    Unless they employ female security guards its a possibility waiting to happen.

     

    Possibly that is why the article mentions the use of female security guards..... did you read the article ?

  2. Yep, they might have the speakers wired backwards as well. Cones will be pulling instead of pushing etc. Wiring up speakers isn't rocket science but when the person doing it doesn't give a damn there is lots of room for error. It will still produce sound. But will sound shit. I bet you have some wires crossed.

    If all speakers are wired out of phase it will not matter. If one is wired out of phase it will affect the bottom end rather than the top.... stranger things have happened though.

    Full time staff are paid for a 48 hour week, The 48 hour week takes place over a 6 day period. The law stipulates they must have 1 day off after every 6.
     
    How that interprets to "are paid 7 days per week" is something only a very special person could come up with.
     
    Anyway back on topic. An entry level vanilla car is definitely not considered a "luxury".


    You keep on spouting same nonsense over and over again. Post a link to labor law which states full time employees do not have to be paid for their day off?

    Also post a link to law which states they must have a day off. Law states they are entitled to day off, which is not the same as must, if you really want to get technical.

     

     

    Thank you for confirming by law they are entitled to 1 day off per week, that is consistent with the 48hour/6day week (that the law states).

     

    Have a read of the ministry of labour website.

    Read the Thai Labour Act.

     
    I did not ask for your advice on what i should read, i asked you to post a link to section of the labor law which supports your post, claiming to be a fact that full time employees do not need to be paid for their day off, the 7th day.
     
    Please post link to support your claim

     

     

    No. Iam not going to go through the whole ACT to find the page to prove my claim which is regarded as common knowledge, your are saying Iam wrong so you provide your proof.

    @ 300b per day minimum wage the monthly total would be Bt7800.00.

    300b x 6 days x 52 weeks / 12 months.


    Full time employees must have days off paid.

     


    Correct. those days off would fall under either annual(12 days)/sick (30 days) or personal (7 days) leave.

    The 7th day of the week is not paid as the working week is 48 hours made up of 6 x 8hour days.

     

     

    Disagree, the one day off per week is paid by the company and must be paid for all full time employees.

     

    Please show me labor law allowing company NOT to pay for 7th day.?

     

     

    Read the Thai Labour Act.

     

  7. News that the father of this child is a child molester and did time in prison for that will not help public sympathy for him. IMO he should not be allowed within a mile of any kiddie let alone having children of his own. Sad story in every respect.

    Can you point to where this allegation came from?

    It is the aussie news article.

  9. can an average office worker work hard...
    ...
    back in my country, a Corolla would cost about six months salary

    Income:
    Seven 11 about 9000 Baht/month.
    Skilled factory labourer up to 20000.
    Avarage office worker might earn up to 30000 (no managment position)
    School director/high level government officer might make 60000.
    (farang English teacher 25000 to 40000 and more tongue.png )
     
    A corolla type car in basic edition costs about 600000 Baht.
     
    600000/9000: 67 months, out of reach
    /20000: 30 months, very hard even with going deep into debt.
    /30000: 20 months, still hard
    /60000: 10 months, doable
     
    So even the 30000 Baht middle class income has to struggle hard.
    Different perspective if there is a couple with good double income.
     
    There were some statistics recently about private debt of Thai families.
    Thais are very high in debt.
    Some low earners pay 40% of their income just for car dept.
     
    Other way round: in Germany an avarage office worker could make 3500 EUR/month, about 150000 Baht/month.
    If he would invest 20 months of income for the car, that would make up for 70000 EUR.
    That would be much more than a Corolla biggrin.png
    An the truth is: some do!

    Who told you these figures? I think you are off. If you think Toyota is paying their factory workers 20,000B a month you are kidding yourself.
    They make minimum wage. I pay my factory workers above minimum wages and they still only average about 8000B a month without overtime.
    Office staff makes 10-12K per month. Accountant is getting 20,000B a month and I pay more than my Thai friends that own companies. My friend his wife was the assistant to the CEO of HUTCH, she speaks, Thai, English and French fluently and has a masters and she was only making 35K per month.
    7-11 I'm sure is only paying minimum wage so 6 days a week is 7,200B a month. I own a company at this time but have worked in Thailand for 20 years and been in several management positions over the years never seen any office staff getting paid more than 15K per month in a non-management position.


    Not sure what you own and how you claim to pay above minimum wage , when minimum wage is 9000 baht per month but your staff averages 8000.


    @ 300b per day minimum wage the monthly total would be Bt7800.00.

    300b x 6 days x 52 weeks / 12 months.

  10. The new circuit at Buriram is supposed to have a full 1/4 mile set-up.

    Here's the layout- the drag strip on the left is over 1/2 a mile long (which would offer enough room for dragsters to shut down after crossing the line)- they're already advertising dragster events.

    attachicon.gifimage.jpg

    People will die in dragsters if they run a 1/4 strip with only a 1/4 shut down area. needs a minimum 1/2 mile shut down area.

  11. i thought tein street advanced can be optimized for good comfort driving ?


    What, more sloppy/comfortable than fitted by the OEM ? one usually fits aftermarket adjustable coil over's for performance reasons, not to replicate the OEM stuff.

    But hey it is your money so up to you.
  12. i was thinking of doing:

     

    - Change to new tyres (mich. primacy 3 st)

    - Add insulation to the doors (dynamat or w/e those things are called)

    - optional: giving the wheel wells another layer of the rubber spray 

     

    Not sure if its is a good way but its sure not a cheap solution so im struggeling if its worth.

     

    Also been thinking of getting tein street advance shock absorbers.

     

    So you want a quiet car with teeth rattling suspension...... allrighty then.
     

  13. I heard Thai's can get finance over 7 years so 600,000 - 120,000(20% deposit)= 480,000 financed/84 months = 5714 per month repayment.

    I think you overlooked a tiny detail named interest smile.png
     
    And interest rates in Thailand are not fun stuff.
     
    An example which I know from experience:
    they buy a scooter in the 40000 Baht range with little deposit and finance for 4 years.
    They end up paying more than 60000 Baht effectively.
    Total interest over four years more than 50%.
    So you can do a guess what seven year finance will end up.


    Yep I did forget the interest. Most car interest seems to hover around the 2.4% mark (P.A) so over 7 years your repayments would = 6674 per month.
