  1. I raised this same topic a few weeks ago, basically ignore the shopkeeper at your own risk.

    I know a guy that repeatedly parks his car where he should not. He does not understand why he get sooo many flat tyres that all seem to suffer from a sliced sidewall.

  2. ahhh see when you said lecturer I assumed (incorrectly) in a university or similar, bring mining into the equation and I can now understand the coin involved.

  3. The Thais i know don't bother about it, they say its to small , so they just have all the Bodywork and Widow Chips done yearly.

    Got a mate who has gone this way,

    Speaking to him yesterday and he said he is paying 15K Baht each year.

    That price is acceptable but ......... its a 9 year old Chevrolet pickup.

    I thought 1st class insurance was not available after 5 or 7 years (??????????)

    Ask you mate if he finds it acceptable after he damages someone elses property and they came after him with baseball bats to extract the money from him.

    I am the first to admit that I am an insurance novice here.

    I normally leave all of that kind of thing to the wife, but am now taking more of an interest.

    I am having trouble correlating your answer to my above post.

    Old mate pays 15K Baht per year for vehicle insurance, he has decided on no deductible, and gets the vehicle "cleaned up" each year.

    If he damages someones property I believe he would be covered under the Liability for Property Damage clause of the policy.

    What am I missing ???????

    I read you post as saying he has chosen to have no insurance at all, hence my reply.

  5. The Cummings would whack the price up, plus Nissan and Renault are linked.coffee1.gif

    Well maybe they will produce it here as the story says and only export the cummins to the usa? I can't see them having two separate engine lines for the same truck here though?

    My guess is both the Renault and Cumins engines will be imported and fitted to the vehicle depending on end user market.

  6. The "burning" would have been the thermal lance* they would have needed to cut into the reinforced cash box holder secured in the rear of the machine so they can pull out the various boxes : ie. the 1,000 Baht box the 500 Baht box the 100 Baht Box The 50Baht and the 20 Baht box.

    The option is to hook up a big chain to your truck and around the atm and pull out the unit from the front but as all machines are well fixed to the location its a messy afair and you still have the whole atm machine in the back of your truck.!!!... the back is the way to go.

    *Oxygen is continuously fed through the length of steel tube, usually 3/8” or ½” NB, and the burning end of the lance is aimed at the spot on the material where it has to be cut. At the burning end, the oxygen combines with the iron to from a slag rich in iron

    oxides.

    The slag produced is very fluid which enables cutting and boring to take place. The flow of slag is

    assisted by the velocity of the gas and vapours expelled within it. The cutting is a manual process. Thus it depends a lot on personal skill to be able to cut the boxes out and not burn the MONEY !!!

    The thieves knew what they were doing... Thai or farang? Think about it!

    Q: how come I know all this!

    A: I am a Farang.

    No. The burning would have been an oxy cutting set which is sold at every single mom and pop hardware store.
