I am a big lad and while traveling in taxis I have had difficulty as the seat belts are not as long as on EU or US cars even with the seat fully back and lowered. On my first hire car in Thailand I got a Toyota Fortuna SUV and the belt was OK but on my next trip I am considering to save and hire a smaller car eg Honda Jazz or equivalent. Any big guys or galls out there got any advice on makes or models which have an issue with short belts or you know have good length?

Any constructive advice appreciated. Dieting is not going to solve the problem quick enough 5555

Honda city barely long enough for a baby seat. Thai built.

Volvo V60 long enough for 2. Malaysian built.

Only ever thought about this when putting a baby seat in.

Basically Thai built cars are built on the cheap, money is saved as much as possible.

they could leave off indicators, both exterior mirrors and the interior mirror as they never use any of them

No way… how would the girlies do their makeup without an interior mirror ? (not restricted to Thailand!)…

Why not just buy a seat belt extender as below: (About US$5)

Or ask a car shop to make up one! Job done!
