terdsak_12 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 It all depends on how much you want to spend, a Toyota is always a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isuzu is the biggest seller in Thailand, and they have, by far, many more service centers in Thailand than any other manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Toyota or Isuzu 4x4 pickups are probably your two best options for service and resell value! Both come from the most simple configuration with two seats and a large bed, no air, plastic seats, no power anything up to 4 doors, leather, air, automatic everything... prices range I think from around 500,000-850,000 baht. Curiously though Isuzu is owned by Ford, Ford Rangers are not very popular here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 Thanks guys,I think Isuzu is owned by GM & not Ford.Ranger is a Mazda, which in tiurn is owned by Ford.I think I will settle for a Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigrrl Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 We ride good quality mountain bicycles on Samui exclusively --- no diesel, no hassels, better time than cars, and safer. Plus the ultimate workout! It really is possible and fun. It takes less than 2 hours to ride round the island and for trips around your local area it can't be beat. The trick is to get a decent bicycle -- a cheap one is not worth the trouble. Imagine beating pollution while getting fit! And no noise! You can do it!
