Howdy Trend Setters

I have an 18 month old Mazda 2 hatch and am quite happy with it.
At the time of buying, it was a toss up between this and the Fiesta.
Ended up going with the Mazda as the waiting list for the Fiesta at that
stage was 4 months and we needed some wheels.

So anyway, was going past the Ford dealership and decided to
pop in for a look. Was interested in the 1.6 Fiesta Sport for 724 000 THB.

Whilst in there, I saw the A/N Focus. I know a lot has been written
and said about the top of the range model MRO initially advised about
which was reduced to 999 999 THB.I haven't read or seen much info
about the Focus Sport though.

The build quality seems very good but the interior is very dated.
They offered me 450 000 Baht for the Mazda on both the Fiesta and
Focus. Advised prices have dropped since the new tax rebate was introduced.
The new price was 640 000 and it's only done 34 000 k's  so was a little
disappointed with the offer.

To be honest, I would've thought that they would be doing a better deal
on the Focus seeing as the new models have been released. Or has the
Focus already been discountede to 849 000?

Was wondering if anyone have one of these or have test driven one?

If I was offered a better deal on the Focus, I would've been sorely
tempted but am thinking if I do trade, I might as well go for the Fiesta.

Then again, it might be a better idea to hang onto the Mazda for 1 more
year as I don't think it will drop much more in a years time.

Any advise/thoughs appreciated.

Will

Hi gang

I'm not computer savvy so bear with me.

As above, as from yesterday I was unable to
reply to quotes in Thaivisa.

I logged in via Firefox and was able to.

I'd rather keep Explorer and was wondering what
the problem may be.

I deleted cookies so not sure what else I can do.

Any help appreciated.

On my never ending search to try and watch the cricket, I came across the A/N channel.

I realise True Visions have ESPN but not the cricket channel. Streaming is out of the question
as my internet in Chiang Rai is very slow.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a STP or satellite package available to get this.

I am after a system for around the 20 000 Baht mark.
Am in Chiang Rai so I don't have a lot of options.

Went to powerbuy and listened to the Yamaha MCR
840 which was reduced from 22 000 to 18 000 Baht.
It sounded pretty good even though the guy kept on
trying to plug the 13 000 Baht subwoofer that went with it (no thanks).

Then I noticed they had a Denon M38 online. They didn't have
one in the shop so was unable to listen to it. Was wondering if
anyone has heard it or has any other options in the 20 000 price
range I should be considering.

Any advice appreciated.

With the closure of the Perth Thai Consulate, it was time to make
other plans to apply for my Non-Immi O visa.

The consulate in Hobart advertises a 12 hour turn-around plus
postage times.

I arrived in Perth on the Monday and sent the application off to Hobart
with a SAE that afternoon.

I was a happy camper when passport and visa arrived back on the
Thursday.

Really happy with the times and procedure. To be honest, it's easier
to obtain by mail than it was going to the Perth consulate.

Anyway, another option for you to consider.

Just google "Thai consulate in Hobart" for the website.
