April 16th, 2008

SONG KRAN FASTIVAL

“Rod Nam Dam Hua” (May you be blessed with all that is best on Songkran Day)

During the Songkran festival, the Lanna people will conduct the “Su Ma Karawa” ceremony in order to apologize to elders for all the bad deeds they have done to them, either intentionally or unintentionally, to show their gratitude and respect. This ceremony is called “Rod Nam Dam Hua”, which usually begins on the first day of the incoming year.

King Taksin the Great (Phra Chao Krung Thonburi) gained victory in the battle with Burma and moved his troops from Ayutthaya to Wat Makok, called by Taechieo Chinese as “Bang Gok”, which was later called “Bangkok”. Following this, the temple was known as “Wat Jaeng”. King Rama IV then renamed it as “Wat Arunratchawararam”. There are 2 huge cement giants standing at the gate of Yod Phra Mongkut, known as the “Giants of Wat Jaeng”. During the Thonburi period, Wat Arunratchawararam was the house of the Emerald Buddha before the Buddha image was relocated to Wat Phra Kaeo.

3 Exsample Money save Car Rental Tip

April 15th, 2008

This is story from little Group

1) BBRebozo’ve noticed that some cities (most recently Memphis) impose a rather stiff airport car rental tax on people who show up on arriving flights (i.e., out-of-towners), but not on walk-ins (i.e., locals). He saved $10 on my recent $80 weekend rental by NOT giving the car rental company my incoming flight information, and thereby avoiding this idiotic tax.

BBRebozo realize that there is some small risk involved here, in that if the flight is late the car rental company can’t check its status, but that’s never been a factor in my 25-year business travel history anyway.

2) MisterNice never heard of this but it could be nice tip. He have often rented as a “walk-up” by seeing better rates on a sign than on my previously reserved other car company. The “rules” differ widely across the USA. Some city fathers or car rental locations impose an “airport” tax/fee, others impose a “if you use our shuttle” tax/fee. He often use a hotel shuttle to get to the off-site rental companies and they will always remove a shuttle fee if requested.

And

3) TucsonSam flying into MSP Aug 1 - but rented a car downtown - savings of 9% on a three week rental will save me $45 or so….however - He have also hear of ’specials’ only if you arrive on a flight. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Should you try to rent off-airport or not ?

Top 10 Car Rental Tips and 4 way how to Avoid Unnecessary Fees

April 14th, 2008

when people rented cars mainly for the purpose of vacation transportation ? Whether you’re an airport renter or a home-city renter, we’ve got a list of tips designed to help make your car-rental experience as pain-free as possible for your bank account.

1. Surf the Net.
2. Go weekend.
3. Weekly does it.
4. Think twice about insurance.
5. Book early.
6. Think twice about prepaid gas.
7. Be careful of upgrades to larger vehicles.
8. Steer clear of airport pickups.
9. Got kids? Seat ‘em yourself.
10. Join the club.

There are many ways to get discounts on car rentals
read aritcles about ^ at [ http://soundmoneytips.com/article/42687-avoid-unnecessary-car-rental-fees ]

this is opinion for Avoid Unnecessary Car Rental Fees

1.) In the UK, they run an authorization against your credit card for the full deductible amount ($1500 in my case). Not a fee, but something to be aware of (you may need quite a bit of remaining credit).

2.) Buying insurance: Since I didn’t have insurance I was obviously going to have to pay for it. When I factored this into the price, Enterprise was twice as expensive as my ultimate choice. I found numerous rental agencies that included the insurance in their rate and were very reasonable.

3.) Insurance: My US auto insurer does not cover rentals outside the US. And none of my credit cards offer free insurance when outside the US. Apparently, no US insurer or credit card company does; so if you think yours does you better call them first!

4.) IDP: Although not required by law, Enterprise listed in the tiny text that they required an International driving permit. While not difficult to get , they didn’t make it well noted. I’m not sure if there would have been an extra fee / higher rate for not having one.

Other things I’ve learned:

A.) If you really need uhaul, do a one-way rental inside your city. They will issue you a mileage budget (i.e. 300 miles) and charge you a flat fee if you stay under it. For me, it was always a lot cheaper than their $1/mile.

B.) If you’re moving some stuff, don’t instantly go for a UHaul truck. Cargo vans have a huge interior, and you can rent them from regular car companies for quite a bit less than UHaul. I can hear you say “But UHaul is $20/day and National is $50/day; how can you say its less than UHaul?” The answer is that UHaul charges a per mile fee on top of that per day fee. National and most other car rentals have unlimited mileage.

C.) Your insurer will probably cover you in almost any vehicle you drive (rental or otherwise) but only when that vehicle is less than a specific cargo capacity. In my case, cargo vans were always covered but small moving trucks were not. Check with your insurance company.

D.) I was traveling as part of my work by the time I was 21, so finding someone who would rent to me was important. I always used Enterprise; my memory is that they had the lowest fee for being a young renter. Many rental companies refuse to rent to anyone under 25.

E.) When renting in the US, apparently some rental agencies will demand not just proof of insurance, but proof that a rental car is covered! I think this is borderline illegal, as you are signing a waiver accepting responsibility for insuring the car. UHaul demanded this of me for renting a van, and when I asked how exactly I can show this proof, the manager insisted I call my insurer with him on the phone and have them say its ok. If this ever happens to me again, I’m going to insist we call their cooperate office.
