Hehehehe. Like this one but front look a little weird. BTW, will choose the Lexus over the Merc. Why? that Merc you posted really look like an Ah Pek car. Not old also become old after driving. Lexus look very sporty.

Okay, is the 'beng' version good enough to change your mind ?

Hehehe. Still beyond my reach. Will be very happy if I can get this one. Unfortunately, :LOS Honda don't manufacture civic coupe. The closest I can get is a 2.0 Manual

Actually, well within your reach. Consider this: Camry + Civic + Vios .....+ Suzuki Fino

Is this the Sinkee version of Tua Tow (Big Head)? Have been trying to find Tua Tow in LOS but not successful. Any idea what Hoi is Tua Tow call in LOS?

Tua Tao = mussels = hoi maeng phu (หอยแมงภู่) they are all the same. Only difference is where its from determines the size and taste.

Anybody here Yaowarat expert? What do you think of these recommendations from The Nation?

I'm planning to pai teaw Yaowarat and Pahurat in 2 weeks time.
Still not sure where to stay - whether to stay in hotel or not - so I want to see if Yaowarat interesting enough to stay nearby or not.

I am not familiar with Yaowarat except 2 things = food and marketing.

I think you stay in ratchada more interesting la and if you like to go to Yaowarat you can simply take a taxi there.

Ummm.. what about those that found in SG zhi cha stall? It's totally different. The most common one if the green mussels but the flesh is orange color. Looking for the type sold in SG.

Its the same I assure you its just where its from, the place of origin. NZ ones are the bestest, not big but very sweet. Thai ones not bad but I only worry where its from sometimes I think its from the longkang so I worry.

Hehehe. Still not within my reach. Even if I sell all my cars and get a Merc, I cannot rent the Merc out rite? Still need to move around. Now, I can rent out the civic and vios and drive the hybrid. hehehe. Actually, still pending 1 isuzu dmax waiting to reclaim back. :*:

You machiam used car dealer, got 4 cars? I still driving my 20-year old car phaw leaw. Don't have to wash anymore - let the rain do its job
Nowadays I like small compact cars - was very impressed with recent drives of the Chevy Cruze and the Mazda3. Very tight handling. Big difference from a Corolla I drove recently - that one feels like a boat in comparison.

Ya good advice. Ratchada is maybe better. Problem is, it's sometimes boring staying in apartment. One thing I don't like (call me petty hor) is wet bathrooms - water everywhere on the floor, on the toilet seat after a shower.

hey guys i might be slow but google street view is now available in thailand or at least in BKK cos i didn't check all the other cities. Not bad since i know a fren that stays in city home in rachada soi 10 and another one that stays in soi 3 and i could check on street view how to walk there.

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

Google street view of BKK, chiang mai and phuket just became available this yr.

WTF I was in phuket last year

Very beautiful design I think.

Looks like a bloated old design Hyundai Sonata and one of those recent Hyundai SUVs.

A cool and sunny morning here in Sin City. Took this from the balcony. The 2 tallest building in the background are Central and View Talay Condominium. The lower buildings in the middle are mainly apartments/hotels and condominiums. Good thing is there are still many places with unblocked views so that you can even be naked in your own home without people complaining. :p
