That s a good speed ! I usually enjoy the scenery and take 1 more hour 😉 By curiosity, when you arrive at destination, do you still have some power left ?
-
Good as there is one closer to our condo, not sure they got charger, I will check out soon. Thanks
-
Sorry, bad English, I was asking for insurance premieum, I found it. 15K for Mazda 2 and 35K for BYD Dolphin. Thanks for information anyway, useful.

Do you know (sorry to ask) the premium he is paying ?
-
Yeah.. I saw that promotion ... Actually right now, you can have it around 460K without any freebies. Compared with BYD Dolphin or other EV entry car, as I have no charger facility in my condo, neither at work, and knowing that the insurance premium is, I think, much more than a Mazda 2 Prime ... Don't get me wrong, I am pro EV (and I don't own one). The money I am going to save without gas, will it really cover the expenses difference ? I am just wondering, no here to light up the war ! Maybe better waiting 1 or 2 years, to move to a house where I have a charger, would be a better idea, and the prices and the market would be more mature and stable with even better range and technology. I don't know if some of you are same me, but what makes you decide to choose ICE or EV. I am not interested about the one who got solar, or free charge somewhere ... thanks. By the way, we are Mazda owners for 15 years, quite happy about this. Driving 6d/week to work is around 60km per day (80% highway with some traffic). Charging would be at a PTT station, 1km from condo, maybe ever Sunday. What do you think ?

power grid failure / blackout in spain
khunphil replied to save the frogs's topic in Political Soapbox
Yep. I just finished watching and well played TV shows last week ... coincidence 😉 This reflects quite exactly what you lived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Day_(American_TV_series) -
I understand this, but do you always check before if the charging station is available, or do you stop wherever you want and are lucky 90% of the time. With my ICE, the only thing I check is if they have Amazon coffee branch ... 😉 Just asking for information.

Hi, Juts use Grab, 75THB, go to Takiep Beach ! 10 mn drive. Very nice sandy beach, umbrella & chairs, beach restaurant, beach coffee/coktail bar, wild, the best spot in Hua Hin. And no horses every 2mn walking in front of you. (1 or 2 are still around) Phil.

Quake Jolts Thai Tourism: Rising Concerns Over Safety
khunphil replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Isn't it supposed to be the opposite? Shouldn't the construction law ensure that buildings can withstand an earthquake since the 2000s?" -
For my part, i needed to click twice to get the answer accepted. The 1st time, the click was not registered. I don't think you cannot NOT PASS ... this is not a real test ... just have to watch until the end ... and answer some questions which are not really related to the video you were watching ... Yes, get the QR code, this will save you 2h there ! Also, you need a medical certificate, as there are 2 different URL to know the document to show, and one does not have Medical Certificate included. I did mine in Rajavej, 15mn, sign a paper, 150thb if I remember correctly. Phil

Why do they never stop at Zebra Crossings?
khunphil replied to Robert_Smith's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
And of course you have some/many foreigners, to be fair, who are saying : "If the Thai can do, why not me ". OK, maybe not the majority, but they are often the same ones who keep saying "Thai do not respect anything" 😉 What surprises me is : - 1 Thailand has nice roads, often well marked, not same a 3rd class country. - 2 Even if you are educated, as 5 or 7 years in high school/master degree, the way they are driving often does not improve ... well, as they are Hi-so now, they can do. - 3 Thai people as pedestrian, in everyday life, will be the ones helping you, smiling to you, try to let you go first if you are older ... Put them on a motorbike or in a car, they act opposite ! Sad... Drive safe, stop 20m before pedestrian crossing, open your warning lights, and try to warn the pedestrian if you see someone fast coming. If you stop too close, this is a death trap for the pedestrian. -

khunphil replied to Robert_Smith's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
You can... if no other car, and no pedestrian crossing ... but of course... not many care ! -
This was just a question 😉 I always do it all by myself and never used any agency, agent, add to help me in 25 years . I am just working and if I could have the chance to do it 100% online, it was saving me a day taken of my holidays. I understand it is a NO 😉 Thanks.

Bangkok's Air Crisis Escalates: Fourth Worst Globally for Pollution
khunphil replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Well, it is true that the figures in the north are not perfect (PM2.5 : 27 this morning in Chiangmai) but we are so so far from what will/should happen in some weeks/months here that I personally feel quite OK now. A little bit too dramatic for the northern province. -
Not at all. Just the dlt thread on motor form discussion Renewing your driver’s licence online With your training certificate ready, you can proceed with the renewal process. While some aspects still require a physical visit to the DLT office in certain provinces, the renewal process has largely moved online, making things simpler for expats. That's why I ask specifically for cnx province...

Anyone knows if in Chiangmai , to renew a 5 years car driving license, we can do 100% online ? Also, do we still need a health certificate ? Important words are Chiangmai / renew 5 years as other cases could be different. Thanks for help Phil.
-
Good luck finding one... Let us know if you have any positive results. Cheers. Phil

Went in front of Mad Dog last Sunday to see if anything has changed ... I just took this picture 😞 Anyone knows if any decision has been made (rebuilding/leaving it) ... ? Phil.
-
I really hope they can - are allowed to - rebuild. New decorations have been done some months ago (floor and chairs) , so that's no luck. Girls were devastated. I really hope insurance will help enough. I am quite sure many former customers will be willing to help if necessary. Wait and see, but their Christmas Turkey will be a miss this year ! Phil.
