OK, we bought this about 18 months ago.

Don't worry ... the license plate been changed
300k on the clock. Diesel motor replaced with a LPG Gas one.
Paid circa BHT 165,000 ... outer Bangkok.
Bought it sight unseen ... but the FiL went with his 2 mechanic friends and gave it the :tumbs:
Personally, I'm not a 'Truck' fan ... but the approach road to where we live is often flooded and rough as guts and it's the car for the job. 2WD, but high clearance.
But
FatOne ... I do have a couple of questions, if that's OK?
They're personal.
Something I don't understand ...
3 years ago ...

We are building WAAAY up north in Isaan, in a little village called Namjan about 25 mins out of Seka in the Bung Khan province. This is where Kung comes from and should be nice and quiet.
You've been slaving your guts out to retire with a little, and I mean little coin.
You built a place in the sticks in Thailand, then, 3 weeks ago ... this bombshell ...

Somehow, in that 3 weeks, and I don't think you've been back to Thailand and now you have ...

Have you committed to a lady, you haven't met yet, who has 2 sprogs in tow?
You met on line, haven't met in person, and now there is the feeling of a relationship and commitment?
A couple of weeks ago ...

Looking at a few blogs on Udon Thani I can rent a nice house for about 8kb a month, I reckon it won't be hard to find a nice bird to live with me and there are lot's of great farang bars and restaurants there. I reckon I'll be ok.
So you married a Thai woman, paid for the house near where she is, just got it finished, and she calls the relationship off. You got no coin to speak of.
No house.
You're still married to Thai woman # 1.
You've met a girl on line, never met her (though I bet you claim you have skyed each other and it's true love) and mentally moved in with her.
Going to be living on a pension.
Want to buy a cheap set of wheels.
WHY ... because
she needs them?
FFS ... go buy a Honda Wave and be done with it.
SERIOUSLY ?
Mate, you don't need Car Advice ... you need Relationship Advice.
All, of course, IMHO
Please feel free to correct any of my outrageous assumptions.
Carry on ...
