Does your Thai partner know much about history outside of Thailand?
MeHere replied to sharksy's topic in General Topics
History schmistory... the victors write the books anyway, but the few tidbits we learned in school are useful as background topics for a myriad of subjects I was very good at geography back in school (70s), but these days there are so many new countries popping up, I'd be lucky to find some on a map. The only map my thai university educated mrs can read is a google map... and she can only read the blue line, the arrows, and meters remaining We're visiting Europe for a month, the mrs' first trip outside of Thailand and Australia... I'm sure she will be amazed! -
Mg ZS reliability: your experience please
MeHere replied to Mike Bg's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I cannot comment on the ZS, but I've been renting a new(ish) HS for a month and a half so far here in Australia and I can say it's very mediocre. It is not ergonomic or comfortable, it's loud and there's lots of sway on corners (as previously mentioned). I haven't actually measured the fuel economy, but it doesn't seem so great for such an underpowered vehicle. As for power, I can get up to speed on the highway, but the transmission does wind out often when accelerating. I find the console controls poorly designed and the display is slow and sluggish. Steering radius sucks bigtime for such a small car. The 'MG Pilot' is a total nightmare with false breaking and all kinds of unexpected surprises The cruise control is utter crap and has a mind of it's own. The car is loud and the aerodynamics have not been considered... The window controls are erratic and difficult to 'crack' the window to your liking When you are able to open the window just a bit, be prepared to not listen to music Speaking of music, the sound system sucks Oh, and the rear camera isn't protected well in the rain to the point of usefulness. It might be cheap, but in my opinion cheap is all you'd get buying an MG. Caveat emptor (BTW, I wouldn't own this junk for free) -

There's a *slight* difference between this very wealthy Indian guy and the hordes negotiating four for the price of one deals on Walking Street! -

PayPal is cancelling personal accounts in Thailand from next year
MeHere replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I use both Transferwise (now called Wise) and XE... Wise is much quicker (sometimes under 5 minutes), especially on weekends, and the credit card is a bonus. XE is good too, if you're not in a hurry. -
