Have just received what appears to be a renewal advice for my wife’s Civic RS …but it’s not due until sometime next March when the car is a year old!

 

The 'quote' is 25,520thb and values the car at 930K … 

 

Also there appears to be this ‘Honda FINE’  thing which if I understand correctly could add another 3Kthb for Fine  3.

 

We normally insure our cars for just two drivers and as now we also have car cams so maybe able to get some reduction.

 

The initial cost seems high …is it?   Is this early advice normal with Honda Car Insurance? ... We normally use Bangkok Insurance …………… thanks

A friend has a Honda Civic. The first year's insurance is usually paid for by Honda. Get a broker and you will get better and cheaper insurance through a company like AXA. Same story when I bought my Toyotas, you will get the renewal notice early.

Most other insurance companies will offer you between 22,000 to 26,000 thb. Reason: many honda civics on the roads and top in their class for accidents (drivers' faults, not the car) in combination with expensive parts. This is coming from our rep at Bangkok Insurance who my wife's family been with for over 20 years. He offered me 24,000 THB (first class) and a value of 800,000 THB on a civic EL.

Thanks ... probably stuck at that price then ... I will ask Bangkok Insurance for a quote though ... as it's not our only car I don't think we need any of the FINE.

 

Yes it is extreemly quick...if I had realised just how quick I may have suggested something else for here ...anyway it's your fault ... you recommended it!!

I recommended it, because it's the best car in its class ;-) nothing comes near in Thailand. Anyone recommending a Ford 1.5 is crazy as they are all built before last year July and have been standing still at the dealers or the car pools.

You are exactly right ... streets ahead of the Ford and Mazda ... we 'fight' for who drives ....

FYI, I have gotten the final quote from him just now. Quite a surprise.

 

5,000 THB deductible (my request). 

30% discount for no claim in the past 4 years (including my old PJS).

Another 10% discount for family buying (all our cars are with Bangkok Insurance, +-10 cars at our house right now)

Another 5% discount (special)

 

New price 12,771 THB not including Por Or Bor. I think that's a good deal ;-)

      Renewed Calls to Phase Out Double-Decker Buses After Fatal Prachin Buri Crash

      Picture from responders. A fresh push to discontinue double-decker buses has emerged following a series of serious road crashes, including a devastating crash in Prachin Buri earlier this week that claimed 19 lives and injured 32 others. The renewed debate also comes in the wake of a bus fire in October last year that resulted in 23 fatalities. Surachai Liengboonlertchai, chairperson of the parliamentary road safety subcommittee, stated that a proposal to ban double-decker buses, first raised in 2016, was revisited in a recent meeting with relevant agencies. He explained that double-decker buses, which exceed four metres in height, pose significant safety risks due to their higher centre of gravity, making them more prone to accidents, especially on sloping or uneven roads. While laws introduced in 2016 prevent the registration of new double-decker buses, between 6,000 and 7,000 older models remain in service, meaning such incidents are likely to continue. Sorapong Paitoonphong, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transport, added that the Department of Land Transport has already banned double-decker buses from regular public transport. However, around 1,000 chartered buses are still under review for possible cancellation. He noted that any legal changes would take time to implement. Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit has pledged to review the issue and determine whether the recent accidents were caused by road conditions or the structural design of the buses. He emphasised that the ministry is committed to preventing further tragedies but acknowledged that regulatory changes will be necessary. Surachai also pointed out that road conditions play a crucial role in crashes. The committee noted that the stretch of road where the Prachin Buri crash occurred runs through a national park. If poor road conditions are found to have contributed to the incident, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will be involved in discussions to address infrastructure concerns. The Parliament will coordinate efforts across various agencies and provide recommendations to the government for further action. Experts have long warned of the dangers associated with double-decker buses on Thailand’s roads. Natakorn Phuksuksakul, a civil engineering lecturer at Thammasat University, explained that these vehicles are unsuitable for long-distance travel, particularly on winding and steep routes. Due to their higher centre of gravity, double-decker buses are up to seven times more likely to be involved in crashes compared to single-decker models. Additionally, in the event of a crash, the risk of passenger fatalities is ten times higher. Academics at Thammasat University suggest that double-decker buses should be limited to city tours, where they operate at lower speeds of 30-50 km/h on short, designated routes, as seen in many other countries. While phasing out Thailand’s fleet of over 7,000 double-decker buses would be a complex challenge, experts suggest an initial step could involve stricter safety regulations for non-regular buses, aligning them with those imposed on regular public transport. Potential measures could include reducing speed limits to below 90 km/h, enforcing mandatory rest stops, and restricting double-decker buses to shorter, safer routes. The issue remains under review, with authorities weighing the balance between public safety and the practicality of transitioning away from these high-risk vehicles.

      Doesn’t matter what he said or if he wound them up, the response was an utter embarrassment for the US regime. That Vance is a gobshiite. Boys playing a man’s game.

      Tourists Evacuated as Smoke Issues from Pattaya Hotel Room, Minor Damage Reported A fire scare at a Pattaya hotel caused panic among tourists on the night of February 27, but fortunately resulted in only minor damage. The incident, which took place in a hotel on Soi Buakhao in central Pattaya, was reportedly caused by an unattended incense stick left burning as part of a religious offering.
