What about the elephants that come out at night in Bangkok when
the elephant police go home around 4:30PM? There are around 200
or so elephants still living in the city and they can be around
the corner while driving your Jeep. :) I think that would not
be good if you couldn't stop in time.
I would have to say parts are probably a big issue over in
Thailand.

Yes, parts are ridiculously expensive, and in most
cases have to be ordered with up to 3 weeks delivery
time. Due to heavy taxation, a new Cherokee Ltd. or
Wrangler will set you back about $45K, and that is the
entry model. Grand Cherokees are about $80K. A new
Range Rover is about $160K.
Elephants, Monkeys, or the heat are no problem, but
urban traffic density can get on ones nerves.

That's a lot of money over there. I would rather buy some real estate
like a beach house or something now that land is more open for
purchase.

LOL! That's why maybe a good enduro motorcycle would be best to get
around. When I was over in Bangkok on business, I never had the chance
to take a motorcycle taxi there. :)
