definitely no parts 10000 kms was free 20000 789 bt changed oil i watched last one 1300 on 35000 km wtf???

I bought a car on hp,a toyota yaris,from the Rayong Toyota dealer october last year brand new. I've always paid for the service. UK i'd get 3 years free standard. services are small money -1000 bt but ??? shouldn't there be something similar here. Or did I unknowingly waive it fo a cheaper deal?? anyone know not bothered too much but a previou thread made me think Sparks

Can anyone let me know the rough costs of running a swiming pool out here, about 10msq and 1.2m deep. Everybody I know is putting me off as they say the cost is astronomical. But they don't have one. The missus seems to think it's more expensive than a house. I can get quotes for building one but the cleaning, elecricity, filter costs no idea. anyone have any prices. Sparkey

dunno if this should be in the newbie topic or not but i thought Expats would be the most knowlegeable. I'm currently living Near Rayong. the Misses wants to go to Hua Hin. Is there a car ferry there from any of the east ports to any of the west ports Hua Hin ,Chomphon Etc. it would save me a lot of driving just jumping on a boat but although I've been to the islands my side I've never seen any ferries going further. any help would be good even if it's negative cos then I can stop asking around. sparkey

Gee . Weren't there a pack of tg's waiting to mob them as well ?? Sparks

cab share to Soi4 Anybody on the qf002 ex lhr on the 6th of this month or arriving at approx 15.35 hrs on the 7th on another flight . Or on the 9th/10th cab share to Pty from Soi 4 . I'm pretty flexible on this. Sparks

Try www.nanataimansion.com at the end of Soi4 near Tobacco monopoly. Quiet but only a short walk from nana plaza. I like for 800 bt a night. Staying there Monday. Sparks

I get in at 15.30on the 7th but go straight to soi4 . Beats the hell out of taking a taxi straight to Pty . Couple of days in Bangers never goes amiss. Sparkey

Forgot to post but a couple of weeks ago I booked the Phuket deal for cargo agents through Touchdown. 8th till the 21st aug. It's buggered up my holidays as their schedules don't fit in with my shifts.I'll just have to work some more OT for lieu days. 180.50 gbp return . It might be a crap airline.It might be flying out of lgw when I work at lhr .It might be a crap departure time. It might have mucked up my hols but I'll take my chances at this price . If no one flies them before I go I'll let you know what I think. Sparks Anyway I'll post a report on them if no one does before .

Hey Crackpot , Yesterday my mate went to check in this establishment after a cheap room.He was quoted 950 bt no . Where you getting your rates from ?? We are talking about the same hotel in Soi 4 ?? Are you related to the management ?? what ever it is I surely do admire you skills of negotiation. Sparks

stayed in the Inn house soi 13 . reasonably priced for a basic room 650 bt pn I think for a week stay. Sparkey

Stayed Silver Sands many times . It's laid back off beach rd so is quiet . No noise from beach rd. Best rate I've had is 700 bt for the older rooms. Friendly staff , Girl friendly,nice pools with in pool bar.Take credit cards without charging the 2% that a lot of hotels do. There's a small soi , soi 7 I think , with about twenty bars all open late. You occasionally find a stunner but the quality is not a fraction on pty . There's some bars up near KFC , on the corner of beach rd that are worth trying out. The only problem is in the early hours going back from Pty will cost 100 bt as you have to take a baht bus as a taxi. Very germanic/scandanavian there . Last time I stayed.It was a week before I met a fellow Brit. Sparkey

Patong , Hua hin , cha am , samui , You don't go to pty for the beach. Sparks

I've been getting the touchdown newsletter for years now.The best deal I've qualified for on tg was circa 450 gbp . Cheaper at east/west or ours travel. Something to watch on their offers is sometimes they cannot confirm your seat untill 14 days before departure . If your told theres no seats at that time it's pretty difficult to find an alternative thats reasonably priced. It happened to a mate of mine and he ended up paying 3 times more to get the same dates on a different airline. Sparks
