Why didn't the neighbours call the plod when they heard screams?
Why did it take the plod 13 hours to check on her after her friend raised concerns?
R.I.P
Because UK plod are now almost as useless as Thai plod.

He has quite an apt name I guess, as the RTP are a big joke.

Does the 1684 number have English speakers available to take complaints? If not, those 10,000+ complaints were likely from Thais only. I’m guessing it would be much more than that if non-Thais could complain.

There has to be a better way. For example on exit from the UK no one passes through an immigration desk. Whilst I have always wondered how overstayed are checked, it must satisfy the requirements of the UK immigration.
I think it’s done at check-in. I noticed last time that my passport was scanned at the desk. Any overstayers then referred to Border Force maybe?

Try taking it to a good detailing shop. They can do alot to correct the paint finish, which will make the car easier to sell. Good luck with your RS, I'm in the process of moving money so it will be a couple weeks for me. Best car on the market in that price range.
Agreed on the best car for the price, imo.
I did take the old one to a detailers in Bangkok and got a 'full colour restoration' done on it. It's better than before, but they said it couldn't be fully restored, as it would need a respray to do that. I then advised they should rename their product in that case. It cost 6,000 baht.

No coating will help with the paint color on bumpers/plastics aging differently than the paint color on the steel.
Thanks. This is one question I had before. Am I right in assuming though that this applies more to lighter colours?

I just bought a Civic RS and they included that and extended service policy also a bunch of other accessories for free. They said ceramic coating can be done every 6 mo for 3 years after the initial application for 1000B. Ceramic lasts about twice as long as a good wax. The work is in the prep before coating, the application is a wipe on and hand buff with a microfiber towel. 1000b is cheap if they do a good job. I intend to go for the extra applications if the do a good job. It is easy to check just take a bottle of water and splash it on a couple places,if the water runs off they did a good job, as the finish wears off more of the water will bead up and eventually it will pool when it needs to be done again. Key to keeping the finish up is washing the car with a good quality mild car soap. If your buying a white car no matter how well you keep it up it does not have the same luster as a dark color. The idea is to protect the finish and keep it looking good for as long as possible. It's up to you whether you think it's worth it.
Thanks for the details. This is pretty much what I’m hoping for. Mine is a Civic RS as well, in red. I was surprised at the amount of extras they threw in without even asking (rear sensors, dash cam, mats, boot liner, plus the usuals) and 130,000 baht discount. I pick it up tomorrow.
I think you’re right about the colour. My current Civic is white and it has faded, even though I’ve taken great care of it. This is causing a problem as potential buyers assume it’s been in an accident as both bumpers and other plastic panels are whiter than the rest. -
I’m not sure what the guarantee entails, but the price includes 8 re-applications over the two year period. I’m not sure if those are free or not. I realise it won’t stop stone chips, but most of my driving is in Bangkok, so hopefully that won’t be too much of a problem. I’m just hoping it’ll keep it nice and shiny for the time it’s on there.

Thanks everyone. I’ve decided to go for the two-year package and see what it’s like. I can always continue after if it’s really good. Thank you all again, much appreciated.

Depends a bit too on colour of the car. Dark colours tend to show chips and scratches more than Thailand's favourite colour, white.
My current car (7 years old) is white, and the paint has faded slightly, which is one reason why I’m considering the ceramic coating. I had a full colour restoration done, but it’s still not as the original. The new car is red.

A ceramic coating will make the car shine beautifully and will make it easier to clean that is all, it will not protect against stone chips heavy scratches etc, for that you need the car wrapped, if the car is left out in the sun then it might last a year,
Thanks, all good to know. Fortunately the car will be parked undercover while it’s not being used.

Mr Kleane 03 Crystal Coat
R28C+Q6 San Sai Noi, San Sai District, Chiang Mai
On the middle ring road between the 1001 and 118.
I have had 2 cars and a pick up ceramic coated here. Although the name has changed over the years, I last used them a year ago. They do a great job even detailing the engine and interior. The initial cost isn't cheap, about 20,000 baht depending on vehicle size. No idea how this compares to the Honda dealers price.
They let you bring the car back about every 6 months (check w/them) and will do a "refresh" and detail if you like for 500baht. No problem with it lasting for years.
I only wash the car myself using a automotive shampoo and mitten first. I rinse the car completely and then use a leaf blower to dry as the water just bubbles up and blows away. Avoids scratches and swirl marks on a blk car.
Thanks. They look very nice indeed. I’m being quoted 24,000 baht with 24 follow-up treatments and ‘guaranteed’ for five years. They also do a two-year deal for 18,000 with 8 follow-ups. I’ve never had it done before so I don’t have anything to compare it to. I’m in Bangkok.

If it's free, take it. If it's going to cost THB 20K, leave it. Or just do the front of the car to protect against chips.
The coating doesn't last that long, though. Couple of years. Speaking from experience.
If you don't do it, just get the car professionally polished and waxed (kat - kleuap) once a year - I had a CRV and local Honda dealer would do that when it was serviced, cost a thousand or so I think. They always did a really good job and the polishing got rid of all the little scratches etc.
Thank you. Good to know.

I’m getting new car soon, and the Honda dealership are asking if I want ceramic coating. It looks nice, but does anyone have any experience with it? Thanks.

I’d be surprised if any lessors would be interested in doing a deal until TG are officially out of their financial rehabilitation negotiations. Plus, four of their A380s (plus other types I’m sure) are leased, and haven’t been returned.

Police investigate themselves and find nothing wrong. Shock horror.
