PaulAllen Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I saw a Bentley on Samui yesterday. Driven by a farang. The very first thought in my mind is "Why?" What drive a 6 million baht or more car on roads that will take it apart in no time? Maybe just here for short time but I would have rented a jeep or something to get around in. Or, as the saying goes, maybe he has more money than brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuian Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Sorry, stop ask (silly) questions - Saw a white Rolls Royce with gold plated Emily and gold plated rims 1991-2 on Samui - courtesy of Sea Fan Bungalows and Mr. Fritz from Austria - Manager of some posh development going up in Lipa Noi...the simming pool had gold trimmings in the tiles, golden water spouts al over the place marble and expensive decortive items... Missed the yellow and the black Hummer, the Porsche Cayenne, the MB-Brabus Kompressor Convertible, the BMW X5, the MB xxx, the many Jeep Cherokee, the latest Range Rover, the Harley Davidsons ?

Chayaphum Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 (edited) maybe you saw this.....(i saw him in Bang Rak) i think, 560HP it's enough for Samui, also max. speed of 318km/h about 11 minutes and you will be around samui on the ringroad 555555 Chayaphum PS: have a look at the Co2 emissions...........just 396g per kilometer!

With 6 million thb you probably just buy the wheels and seats of that Bentley. In general you need to have brain to afford this type of toys, not the opposite.

sbk Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Thanks for clearing that up, Mike, got me confused since you didn't actually state that the guy lived in the same apt building as your sister in law in Pattaya I just assumed that you were talking about Samui since this is the Samui forum So, this guy drives his BENTLEY from Pattaya to Samui? I know the mainland roads are generally pretty good but I don't know if I'd trust them that much And, having just visited Samui today to do my visa, I have to say that after the floods there are some pretty horrific potholes on some of the roads (out to Big Buddha for one) . I'd hate to drop a Bentley in one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh please do not start with this... come on do not offend yourself, I WROTE "In general" if you read. You start like : All the rich people must be bad people because they have money. There are people who is rich from family as you said too, people who get rich tks to their ideas or because they risk their own money to open biz which give jobs to other people too. And there are the bad ones like everywhere in the world (not Samui only). The OP talk about a specific case, I know the person and I know he did use his brain, that's all. I'm not a rich guy I always worked and I'm working here too to buy my chicken, but I do respect the people who decide to take the risk with their own money.

PeaceBlondie Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I just gave up on those flashy cars. The upstairs maid drove the yellow Ferrari into the east swimming pool, and the butler wrecked the red Maybach into the green Carrera convertible....you just can't get good help nowadays. So I traded the gardner even, his 1988 Hyundai Excel for my new Hummer, and we're all much happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
