Toyota Corolla's Reliability?
So I'm thinking of buying a used Toyota Corolla, specifically a 2010 model. My uncle swore by his for 20 years, practically drove it into the ground, and it still ran like a champ. But I've heard som… more
Yeah, the Toyota Corolla's reputation for reliability is largely deserved, but 2010 models are starting to show their age. Your uncle's experience is anecdotal – a testament to good maintenance, not necessarily the car's inherent flawlessness. The electrical gremlins you've heard about are indeed a thing with that generation; it's not universal, but it's a potential problem. Focus your pre-purchase inspection on the electrical system. Check everything – power windows, lights, radio, AC – thoroughly. Look for any signs of previous repairs or jury-rigged fixes. A comprehensive mechanic's inspection is a must. Don't skimp on that. It'll save you headaches (and baht) later. Also, get a history report if you can – that will show you any accidents or major repairs. If the price is too good to be true... it probably is.
Si Phraya's Secret Sounds?

That's wild! Si Phraya can be a real labyrinth. Sounds like you stumbled onto something seriously magical. It's probably not a permanent installation, more like a fleeting performance or maybe even just a really good sound system hidden somewhere incredibly well. Bangkok's got a ton of hidden musical surprises – street musicians, impromptu jam sessions... you never know what you'll find. I'd bet money it was a temporary thing, unless you can remember any specific details like a building style or even the general direction the sound was coming from. Maybe try posting in a Bangkok-specific forum or Facebook group – more locals might recognize it.
