'human traffickers had brought Chinese prostitutes into Thailand', wow, we don't have enough already!
It is probably an industry the Thais are not ready to compete. Chinese lt is 200 baht?

I recall Australia being hit quite severely so don't always assume more developed places will fair better.

If money is no object, the best SUV available in Thailand is the BMW X5.
Have to call you on that one - the Porsche Cayenne S Turbo is the daddy of all SUV's, with the V12 and V8 Audi Q7 diesels coming in second and third. The X6M comes in fourth, the X5M next, then the garden varieties of the Cayenne, Q7, any Range Rover and the X6 all before the regular X5.
But that's only if we count SUV's readily available in Thailand.. expand the list to include American SUV's and the X5 gets pushed close to the bottom of a fairly long list
You are probably right, at least as far as the Cayenne is concerned. I was a bit too quick to dub the BMW X5 as "the best", although I do think it has the best handling and creature comfort of any SUV on the road today, including the Cayenne. Overall the Cayenne may be better, I defer to you on that, but I think it depends on what elements of a SUV you feel are important and want emphasized in the vehicle. The X5 is not, for example, designed to emphasize off-road use, and if that is your preference, the X5 may disappoint (or at least other SUVs may rank higher). The X6 is more of a coupe, and that is how BMW characterizes it, so I would not include it in a discussion of SUVs. And I would not include any Range Rover in the "best" (or even in the top 5) of anything. Ditto on the Audi(s) -- they look like crap (IMO) and have very questionable reliability. And whether it has the "M" designation, it is still a X5; I never considered going into that level of detail on what was an off-hand comment, where the real focus of my comment was the MU7 and other SUVs in the same price range. I wish you had focused on that part of my post, as I would have been interested in your views, which are generally the most objective and informed on the motor vehicle sub-forum. If you are a "fan" of the MU7 or would remotely consider buying and owning one, I would be shocked (and frankly disappointed). Cheers,
Touareq V10 TDI, now that pulls you all in the ditch
