I can't match Mr T. If he and his drivers can achieve a living from this, I wish him the very best.

how could you match it, why would I want to have a falang salary overhead in a simple operation like booking a taxi meter to airport.

Mmmh, not exactly correct.

I purchased a complete original electrical side mirror for a Toyota Vios from the Toyota dealer on Sukhumvit for 1030 Baht.This was the complete housing with the glass and the elctric motor, ready to mount.

Try to buy that in Europe for 25 Euro.

Why do people go Mmmm !! It sound ridiculous !!

Ok Labour may well be dirt cheap (albeit certainly rising) but parts cannot be that much cheaper if actually original. I could tell by looking at your unit whether it was truely original or not within 10 seconds......

I would go 50/50 without even looking at it. We have BMW and Merc dealers where I live in the Uk panicking like hell as have suddenly found they have been fitting Counterfeit Parts to their motors here having found out they were Chinese...!!

An Engine rebuild in Thailand yes would be cheaper. A complete original unit not so....
