I agree a price with a taxi driver to take us 40 kilometers up country.

Two kilometers into the journey he stops for petrol(gas) and asks for half the fare so he can fill his car up and get us there.

Funny thing is you get to a stage where this type of thing becomes normal and you don't bat an eyelid.

Just reminded me. On the occasions when I'm sat so I can see the fuel gauge in a taxi in BKK it's often shows empty. Mind you the way some of them drive it's a blessing. A bit like an aircraft circling to use up fuel before an emergency landing in case it catches fire.

The gauges always show empty as they run on LPG, which has a separate gauge.

One thing that drives me mad...often I park up at my apartment and fancy a session in the steam room. So, I go in and tell the girl to turn it on and I'll be back in 15 minutes (the time it takes to warm up). So I go and dump my things in my room and get changed, go back down to the steam room to be greeted by an annoying grin and a 15 minute wait. Every time!!!

I've looked at their store in Siam Paragon a few times. It's in the department store either in the shoe section or opposite the Levi shop, can't quite remember.

Regarding the CPU update...

I'm not familiar with Isuzu, but most modern vehicles need connecting to the diagnostic equipment to reset the service indicator. The computer would then inform the technician of the required download.

The Thai ticket major website is pretty good.
