I assume ‘tourists’ in the article refers to Thais as I can’t see many overseas tourists using ‘personal vehicles’. Oh, and the buses have, ‘complete safety features’. I guess that doesn’t include the driver.

You’ve only taken one taxi in 30 plus years?

It depends where you’re talking about. At Suvarnabhumi airport it only went above 38°C three times.

Why has the summer heat suddenly become an issue? It’s been this bloody hot in April since I’ve been here.

Source?

I brought Germany into it as you implied the reason UK pensioners get a bad deal is due to the amount of money being spent on immigrants. Germany spends far more on immigrants and can also pay a very healthy pension. Why can’t the UK? That’s not by my reasoning, but yours.

Germany took in 2.1m in 2022.

I just noticed that you have provided one already. Thanks.

Link?

Rubbish, and racist. Germany has far more immigrants and maintains one of the best pensions in the EU.

Germany accepts far more immigrants than the UK but maintains one of the best pensions in Europe. Try again, without the right wing undertones.

“…….and his urine test confirmed methamphetamine use.”

Probably due to the school holidays.

Because UK plod are now almost as useless as Thai plod.

“….at approximately 12:16am” 😂

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.

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?

Might have been one of the bodysnatcher vehicles. They often drive like complete lunatics.

They don’t look like bagpipe players to me.

From the linked article: ‘…..added that hee received a proposal document from the Joint Private Sector Committee….’ We’re using Chinese pronouns now?

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.

Thanks. This is one question I had before. Am I right in assuming though that this applies more to lighter colours?

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.
