    Probably a bit weak of me going in with the low figure after thinking about it. Just wanted to make an offer too reasonable to refuse so I don't have to fight and deal with this shit. Naive of me to think they still wouldn't haggle.

    ^ Yep. Not worried about disappearing but yeah I put the number out there can't really ask for more now can I. Pretty sure the old man was expecting something like this, and probably thinks himself lucky the little boy smashed into a farang.

    By threatening him with your video footage in order to get cash out of him, for whatever reason, is committing blackmail isn't it?

    fuck that shit, show the video to his insurance company

    don't talk to them over 6,000 THB it's a waste of time, should have asked for more when you had a chance, you fucked up, too late now

    Whatever. I'm wrong by doing this? Blackmail infers an air of being sinister, which is not the case here.

    I never really wanted any more than what's fair; the cost of a rental car. Just been speculating here as to what I could have extorted them for if I played hard ball.

    Anyway, meeting the guy today to sign and pick up 5600.

    Does it matter, really......

    The OP need to get in contact with his/her respective insurance company. Getting a courtesy/ loan car can be done.

    just conveying my past experience with Thai insurance company.

    ^ No TM, read the thread. The insurance company doesn't do courtesy cars. Not standard practice in Thailand any more. How long ago was your claim TM? This is a fairly recent development in the insurance world apparently. Missus went right into it when I told her to change to insurance with proper coverage. Unless it's a write off, no courtesy car. Standard in 2011.

    Yes, I have read the thread. Thus the reply.

    Two months ago, I sent my car in for repairs to the front bumper, fit a new windscreen and sort out the scrape on the rear bumper.
    The repair centre quoted 5 days to repair.
    The insurance company then on my behalf asked the centre to provide a car during this time.
    The loan car was a Chevy Zafira.

    The other time was 4 years ago. That was a Honda Accord.

    Why not arrange to meet the son/dad combo at a decent car-hire place of neutral choosing. Pick a motor out for a week and let them settle the bill.
