Even on an extension for work, I have never been asked to show my work permit when re-entering the country and this was just a few months ago. Most people don't travel with their work permits as they could get lost and are useless and meaningless outside of Thailand anyway.

I always carry my workpermit as it is handy to use the Thai Immigration lines when the airport is rammed with tourists.

Neither is anyone else with half a Brain, they buy a Mazda 3.

Ahhh so we have reduced ourselves to flaming other members again have we.... funny that you get away with but as soon as I do I get a 7 day ban.

As much as your post. .Whats it matter its only fun here anyway.

Some actually come for information. Not idiocy, You should find the "Pub" part of the forum and post your dribble there.

 

You should be doing oil every 5k.

German fellow I know sez he used to work for Audi. Reckons 50,000 km oil change interval. No problem ... :-D

Yeah I reckon the Audi might be using a bit better oil than an old clunker Vigo.... but I'll call bullcrap on the 50k oil change though.

A goon is not a hoon, The term hoon is used to refer to one who drives a vehicle in an anti-social manner.

what does a pissed up "goon" have to do with this thread ?

Woolworths is a supermarket, not a department store.  I hope they are prepared to hand over 51% of their company to Somchia free of charge along with the management.

Woolworths LTD is much more than just a supermarket.

They are also BigW and Masters Hardware and it would be my guess they will be setting up to source more than just tins of pineapple.

Hoones, What is that ?

Aussie slang for a guy who wears a checked flannel shirt, ripple sole desert boots, and drives a loud car with fat wheels.

Oh a Hoon. I shoulda known the spelling error was probably some sort of childish AOP humour.

 

Like all manufacturers here Toyota are content with selling the most basic cars possible with the least amount of options possible and the least colour choices to a nation of people with a herd mentality. See the massive advertising campaigns about a ten year old car new for this year with........a sticker down the side! And the populace swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Who would dare question it?

Actually this was my premise regarding the Harrier, it may be an old model to the rest of the west but here I think it was a new offer, it was an brand new vehicle I saw and if you think about it from Toyota's view point, better to get a few more miles out of an older model design in a new market then to redesign for a smaller markets purposes.

Conversely, the Jazz for example was released and market tested in the east for years before coming to the states..

 

But getting miles out of an older model in a new market only works if they have excessive stock of them. It doe not make financial sense to keep the production line running for the small volume output.

Hoones, What is that ?

A couple of large paving slabs in the back will provide some relief by preloading the springs a bit and are mostly unobrusive but there is no getting away from the fact that pickups have leaf springs, just like horse drawn wagons.......

The new model Vigo will have a much better ride apparently. The VW Amorak is very good apparently and you can spec a lighter suspension package in the back down from the one tonne carrying capacity of standard. Maybe that is the go for these pickups here! Who ever needs to carry a tonne around? In effect, doing the opposite of the beefed up heavy transport versions you always see in ditches smashed on the side of the road.

Don't forget, the brakes are also quite marginal on these things as well.

How are the brakes marginal on a newish truck - disc front, drum rear, abs, ebd etc etc?

Had a 2005 Vigo, the brakes were terrible. Small front discs drum rear on a large pickup. Don't think they have upped the size or put discs on the rear since then? My subaru xv has larger front discs than that Vigo.

The 2014 Vigo is the same as the 2005 one... just a bit of extra lipstick to try any make it look pretty.

no licence plate on any of them ...what does this mean ?

thanks

It means they are possibly not legal to ride on the road.

Cross brace unit ?

When You live in the Mountains half the year James, every time you look over a drop there's a Hi Racer or an SUV...sorry if that upsets a few neurotics.Facts can be unpleasant.

Reading between the lines then one should buy a 4X4 pickup, not the Hi-Rider.

Ive a Toy Poodle. Often when I call him he will come in walking upright on his hind legs.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I don't think you can. You can extend a visa, but you have no visa.

You cannot extend a visa ... ever.

You can, under certain circumstances, extend your permission to stay in the country.

If you apply for an extension, it would be refused and you would be given 7 days to leave, which amounts to a 7 day extension.

So how are people getting a 30 day extension on a 60 day tourist visa ?

Malaysia Airlines has killed 537 people in the past 6 months, how the <deleted> are they not on the bottom of that list ?

I asssume the 2 bikes in question are those on face book in pattaya buy and sell.

The Steed is 600cc.

For some countryside touring I reckon the steed is the better of the 2. The Intruder is a great looking bike though.

A box of 100 pairs of latex gloves is Bt.200.

@ 5 fingers per glove thats pretty damn good bang for buck to cover the end with some rubber.

Drop the tyre pressure to 29psi.

For Toyota to sell it they would have to provide full after sales service/maintenance and support for it. I doubt they will sell in enough volume to warrant the expenditure.

Here is the convo.

Dear K.Au,

Can you confirm, for each 90 day report we do we need to fill out the TM.47 form AND the Acknowledgement of overstay form ?

Thanks,

Sir Spoonman Esquire III

The reply

Dear Sir Spoonman Esquire III,

Yes, confirmed that both forms are required now.

Thanks.

Au.

Yeah I question why for every time I do a 90 day report and the reply was a very blunt" because thats what immigration have said".
