Re: Recommendations: Rims, tyres & good garage

You will probably not safe a lot of money byuing bigger wheels but you could save on tires,if you do not drive fast or carry heavy loads you can get a Thai made tire like Deestone for a lot less. You could also look into tires that are new but not really fresh anymore,last years tires. Kosol also ha...

Re: Looking for a Vet hopefully with positive recommendations

Ivermec is the best way to prevent ticks,buy a bottle and inject every month or when you start to find ticks again on your dog.
Easy to do yourself and a lot cheaper than anything else.

When you go to a pet shop in Chatuchak you never know what you will get.We also sell birds to the pet shop in soi 39 but sometimes they have some sickly looking birds.We lost a lot of birds due to...

Re: Shocking video campaign aims to change Thai driving behaviour

It is not just Farangs who complain,it is mostly Thai people and if people keep accepting these things as normal nothing will ever change.
Maybe more traffic lights at major crossings would be a good start.

Re: Where to buy Grass Seed

Where the grass is very thin you can put down some good quality black soil,it will repair itself.If you use seed you need to cover it with some saw dust or similar because when it sprouts and the sun hits it for just a little while the roots will dry up and you new grass will never grow.It may also ...

Re: Opinions on used izuzu d max

Make sure you know the history of the vehicle,i know most pick-ups here are babies and never go off-road or carry a heavy load.I have a 12 year old truck and it performs like new.I do not like the look of the newer models on the outside ,the interior is nicer. It also depends on how much you will be...
