Boksida Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 dam_n, left the lights on when I parked my car at the Ram Hospital this morning. Does anyone know where I can get a jump start? Any services in town??? I would probably walk over to Central, buy a set of jumper cables, catch a songtao back and get a jump start from him.

Cuban Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Flat battery after a few hours - sounds like you need a new battery rather than just a stop-gap get you going jump. Get a battery place to drive over with a replacement or probably - jump you - then back to the shop for a replacement. About 5,000 Baht ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbeer Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 being in the city and battery being flat, no problem. lots of help around. just ask. glad you sorted that out. lucky you were in chiang mai and not some other city in the world. i was driving this old truck somewhere in san kampheng once, tyre blew out and there happened to be a small tyre shop around 200 metres away. drove the truck there and he replaced the spare tyre (which didn't have any air in it) with the broken one. Put some air into it the tyre and off i was. he asked me 20 Baht for it. i gave him 100. that is what i thought the effort was worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinHunt Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) no problem. lots of help around. just ask. It is very easy to find a helping hand in Thailand. But this is the guy that said Thailand is, a non-developed 2nd class Asian country. My god, if Thailand was to rise above that and become a developed asian nation like Malaysia or Singapore, do you think we would have it so easy here? Of course not. Nah, I am happy just the way it is. what goes around comes around. Edited August 15, 2008 by KevinHUNT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is the sucker, certainly not me Maybe we could have a vote? Niloc's probably with you. I think he may be Australian too. Rich as well by the sound of it. (he just bought a house from a brochure - didn't need to see it). Don't tell everyone though because I think he's getting a bit sensitive about it. He already called me a prick (quite right but a little bit rude). I forgive him. Edited August 16, 2008 by KevinHUNT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
