The delivery times you've been quoted sound about right/normal - if you want/need a car sooner than that, my suggestion would be to call Mazda head office and ask them to try and locate a dealer that has the model/colour you're after in-stock.

Exactly, we went to see the Mazda Elegance, really nice car and many accessories included compared to Vios. Dealer was already offering some freebies as rear sensor, tint glass, etc... and we went only to have a look. Another dealer told me to let my number, the day I am decided to buy then she will try to find a car faster.
Actually, this is more or less 2 to 3 months, depending on the colour.

Next step, discussing pricing and credit as I would like Madam to put on her name so we can have the rebate 100,000 Bht. But her salary is sure not enough for this, so we will have to find a way on how to handle it.

PS : after reading a lot about KIA after-sales, and sadly as I really love the small K1 Picanto, I decided to deal with a serious brand-name.

Do anybody know the rools when come to buy the car with downpay and the rest on credit? Can a foreigner pay the downpay and let the rest be in the woman's name? And finally; When we get back the taxmoney after one year,- do we have to use the woman's bank account number? Or can I use my own?

In Topic: Thai PM Yingluck Sets Lifecycle Plan For Everyone

This plan is the best thing ever happened to Thailand. It is the first time I ever have read anything that will get Thailand out of misery. This is the first time I have seen any political thougths from Thai politicians.

And for the comments from this blog:

I know I am correct when I answer the question about which people that goes to Thailand; loosers,loosers,loosers....

In Topic: Complaints Filed Against Topless Women Dancing During Songkran.

This is a good start. Continue with the bargirls ( fine 5000bth) Bar owners 500 000 bth fine. If the bar owner is a policeman set the fine to 2000000 bth and 15 years of prison. If a high ranked military or politician is involved, - just shoot them to maintain the good reputation of the good morality of Thailand.

In Topic: Potatoes In Thailand

Interesting topic, but I have no experience in growing potatoes in Thailand. I know for sure when i become a long term visitor in Thailand I will grow my own potatoes even if I have to smuggle them from Norway.

But I will prefer to do it the legal way.

Someone must know where to find seed potato. ( set potato).

And of cause we are talking about potatoes for dinner meals. Fried-boiled- baked- mashed, whatever.

As an ex scaff I have never seen a scaffold in Thailand that I would put my name to. The best scaffolders in the world are the Brits. In the UK you need to be trained to a high standard before you can erect a scaffold. An advanced scaffolder can erect a scaffold to any height. it is only when you start to sheet it in that it needs to be designed by an engineer. Scaffolds tend to collapse as a result of the load bearing design of the scaffold being exceeded. The load bearing of the scaffold is the distance between the upright standards and check fittings etc. Scaffolds tend to topple due to the lack of anchors attaching the scaffold to the building. A picture of the scaffold would also tell a lot.
In the UK the person who built and signed off the scaffold is legally responsible for it. it would also have a tag telling people the maximum loading and any other restrictions and inspected regularly and signed off.
Will anybody here be held responsible for the collapse ? I doubt it
RIP the guys who died

Amen to that.
But please dont let it looks thats only brits can build scaffold. Allmost every country will know how to build scaffold if they want to. The problem is that money talks. I have been working on an oilrig in China recently and I can tell you if you have seen the scaffoldwork your hair would turn grey over the night.
And it will be the same with all others safety tasks down here.
But the point is! The yard has all safetypapers in order after western standard, but nobody care to follow them.
I think it will be the same in this matter.
The big question is! How will the journalists follow up this accident? Will it be pictures, interviews, etc?
Nothing will happen in Thailand before the country get journalists and a free press.
