Re: Tow-rope
Recovery straps are nylon webbing that uses nylon's elasticity to absorb the shock of pulling a vehicle back to where it can be started or towed. A tow strap or rope should be polyester as it is more abrasion resistant and stronger than polypropylene which is the typical rope found here.

Re: Buying online from Lazada
One of my concerns with Lazada is the large number of suspect items being flogged. Two recent items were a mobile and an air fryer. It is not always possible to determine the provenance of an item, but if you can demonstrate through convincing evidence that the items is actually counterfeit, Lazada ...

Re: All New Toyota Veloz
The brake innovation is disk brakes on all four wheels unlike many low end models, and just like my first Alfa, a 1969 GTV. We find a 1.5 engine sufficient in our 2013 Chevrolet Spin, but that is usually just two of us, the extra seats especially the rear two are nice to have but get little use. The...

Re: Buying online from Lazada
Is anyone else having no luck paying with a Western credit card? Had the same issue (gets to KBank and then failure) a few weeks ago, complained to Lazada customer service and it got fixed for a day and then back again to the same fail for the last few weeks. Refuse to use any Thai payment system as...

Re: Buying online from Lazada
I draw the line at sellers who cut and paste a real product's model number and photo - latest two were a VRH faucet and a Makita power tool. Both were returned as counterfeit items with the seller eating the freight both ways.

Most banks which accept US customers will work under the new process after you have them complete ssa 1199 op107 (do a google search for the PDF direct from Social Security). Once it has ...

Re: New laptop suggestions
Well the movie part was an attempt at a joke, but I think a ups would allow one to remove the laptop battery life and not worry about its service life. Most of my laptops (Dell) have had easily removable batteries, but that may not be the case with other manufacturers/ models.

Re: New laptop suggestions
Question. Would connecting a (nearly) stationary laptop to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply which typically run on a lead acid battery) costing around 1500-4000 baht from Lazada and removing the more expensive internal LiOn battery provide a solution for both a laptop a associated peripherals e.g...

Re: Thailand has a whopping $40 billion in unsold homes
