i bought mine on thokanuson road N13 on map, it is coming from big c , at the traffic lights to go right to bus station (central) , you go left , many shops there , i went to the big one left side , you can drive inside, cost 3.500 bath,
small advice , the box contains 4 sensors, they wanted to put them all in the back , as i have a small car ( aveo) i leave them put 2 in the front and 2 in the rear.....( ridiculous to have 4 sensors on a small rear bumper)
good luck.....

My wife just learned to drive, and passed her test in Nong Khai. Which means she's still learning to drive.

Please fill me in on how the sensors work, how much they actually help, etc.

She passed everything except the reversing/parking part. They discussed this, so to speak, but there was no way around it, apparently - I was surprised. They gave her 30 days to pass it, with no more than 3 tries.

She borrowed a friend's tiny Honda and passed the next time, instead of using our big SUV, which she will actually be driving, at some point...I think.

Could they actually be clamping down a bit on issuing licences? Seems to be the case in Nong Khai.

If so, I can only say, "It's about time! Wonderful!" Anyone else have experiences getting a license lately?

Perhaps Thailand continues to change, slowly but surely. Stopping littering would be a good next step! (Ever been beaned by a bottle being chucked out of a truck while riding a motorcycle? Not so nice.)

they have different ones , the ones you will have to attach a small display on your dashboard, working with a led indicating from green to red and a noise signal the more close you come to the other car, my preference went to the one when they attach a rear view mirror over the existing one, you will be able to look how far you are from the other car( in the front or in the back,indicating fe 0.8M ) and also give sound indication, no mess on your dashboard, probably similar to the one kjellsnell bought...
hopes this helps....

[kjellsnell]

yes......my is the one you attached to the mirror and it shows distance from 1,5 to 0,5 meter and also give warningsound wich goes faster and faster the closer you get to the objekt behind you.....

They also have cheaoer chinash....t but even the people in the shop dont recomand them....

chears!

Thumbs up for the shop at thokanuson road N13 on map: no more sound warnings coming from the box.
Had the sensors installed over one year I guess, stopped by at the shop, they had to replace someting, don't know what exactly, they asked for purchase invoice/guarantee, whilst I checked the glove box, it should be there somewhere...the lady said "don't mind" and got it fixed for free.
Gave a 100 baht bill as tip to the people who worked on it.
