rkidlad Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 How come there is not a news article about the Kia showrooms in some malls...maybe Kia's at well under a Bt1M is not as sexy? The Kia showroom at the The Mall in Bangkae (western Bangkok) is on the second floor between the AIS and DTAC shops directly above the foodcourt....yea, not as sexy. Because that would not create yet another "hate the rich" thread, with the usual suspects repeating their mantra over and over again!! I think I could handle being hated if I were rich. Better than being poor and abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai at Heart Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Do you get a tax break for the pick-up version? Maybe RR will start making an LPG version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Card Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 If I went into that showroom sweating and wearing a scruffy T-shirt and shorts and muddy old shoes, would I get to play on their design software to choose my favorite accessories? Would they ask me if I had the money to buy one, or just turn me politely away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMick Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) If I went into that showroom sweating and wearing a scruffy T-shirt and shorts and muddy old shoes, would I get to play on their design software to choose my favorite accessories? Would they ask me if I had the money to buy one, or just turn me politely away? Funny you should ask that. Some years back M-B had a display day at a winery in the Upper Hunter (NSW) with half a dozen cars, free chardonnay, cheese and crackers, salesmen in flash suits. They had exactly ONE visitor, scruffy guy in work clothes and muddy boots, who they completely ignored. Locals would have told them he owns a million odd dollar earth-moving business - about a month later he was driving a new Beemer.

Nickymaster Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Does RR come in pink? One of our politicians likes pink cars. Do they have a medicine cabinet, for ear medication? Perhaps the car could be sent in pieces to avoid the tax and those two fine items added to it. Save a lot in tax. Yes it would be cheaper to buy an assembled in Thailand Rolls. Any garage around the corner can assemble one of these low tech cars. It has been done around 9,000 times the last decade I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a set of Allen keys, but the guy said the knurled (and chromed) bolt heads are easy to turn with vice grips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Designed to aid customers in the creative process of commissioning a Rolls-Royce motor car, the two-car showroom is a smaller, intimate boutique which serves as a "brand touch-point" where customers are invited to use their imagination and mix and match wood and leather...

LuckyLew Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Does the price of the car includes transporting the cars to Sisaket for registration? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryMilton Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I only see 2 cars in the showroom. Are the others on the recently released DSI list ? That's because it's a two car showroom. The rest are in the main showroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuhnPaen Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) If you buy both cars, it they will throw in free Burmese slaves to drive them for you. You can also berate them and beat them as often as you like. Edited June 12, 2013 by KuhnPaen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 my previous landlord had an old rolls royce from like the early 80s and he told me that when he inquired about the price (this was like 2.5 years ago) of a new one, he was quoted 90 million baht... During my time in Hong Kong it was normal for a second hand Rolls to cost more than an new one since the second hand one was immediately available and a new one meant going on the waiting list. If you wanted face and had the money you paid as better to be seen in your Roller than say that one is on order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone ordered one that colour he/she would not be the first.I cannot remember his name but a rather flamboyant English comedian bought a pink one many years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlandy Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Strange I thought! RR dealerships are listed in the majority of countries worldwide. Some have three, four outlets. Maybe it's the Boutique attached to the name of the one in the 'big mango' that's the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubl Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Pink Rolls-Royces. "They're are so darling, everyone should have one", Lady Penelope said the other day. Around 1965 that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagwan Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I hate the word 'boutique'. It's a BS name to pull the flannel over the eyes of the hard of thinking. Same, same gel. As if being in gel form gave a crappy product magical properties. Does using such flowery nomenclature for a car showroom supposed to make people honoured to be allowed to enter? We're doing you a favour in looking a one of our cars. BTW the ones in the picture are the ugliest things Ive ever seen with an RR label. I hope that none of the lads back at Crewe see them. If you want style do it the UK way. In the RR showroom on Piccadilly in one corner were half a dozen Mini's. A sign said, "Please take one."
