junglechef Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Ok I only saw one but since there having been equally boring threads on Lambo sighting etc here I thought I'd better spruce up the title a bit. But a Rolls Royce Wraith cruising down Nimm is pretty awesome! Cost $300,000 ($470,000 for the drophead) in the US so can only imagine the sticker price here. I think the next time I win the lottery (the first two times I spent all the money at Soi Cowboy) that would be what I'd be driving. It had red plates and was painted black, as most often, and in my mind look better, they are two tone. Also usually the more flashy the better here so a bit surprising taking that into consideration too. It was very dirty, not carrying any cleaning staff in the boot for such times? Sorry no pic as I was driving myself but attached are a few stock photos. http://www.rolls-roycemotorcars.com/wraith/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Say $400k x 32 baht x 300% import tax, whaaaa, that's THB 38.5 mill.! I'll have two please. Two please. Many years back my Thai boss went home after work and at midnight in the pillow talk conversation he told his wife he had that day ordered the most expensive BMW available in Thailand. His wife's response "I want one too". Hubby found the business card of the salesman and at midnight called the guy and said 'change the order to two and stated the colours required'. I guess the salesman was not concerned about getting the late call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernjohn Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 This might have something to do with it: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Richest-0-1own-half-of-nations-assets-30243892.html The article states On the other side of the ledger, people with more than Bt10 million in bank accounts make up just 0.1 per cent of the population. But they own 46.5 per cent of national assets when assessed on overall value. I don't think that has much to do with a 38 million baht car. It takes cash to buy the car not an asset. Just goes to show you how rich some people are. It takes a lot of assets to allow one to have that kind of cash laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagabond48 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Were you all fooled? This is Thailand the land of counterfeit stuff. What you saw was a fake RR. Probably only cost 1 to 2 million at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
