Nvidia Shield blocks just about all browsers from being downloaded. You can side-load Chrome but it does not function properly. Many websites freeze.

I was able to download Brave via the Amazon App Store. So far it's working well.

One of the guys that put me on to roojai said he had to use the app as part of his pre-approval sign up. I did everything online as I had the VIN, pre-existing insurance and NCB details at hand. Never had to use the app. After online application, they called asking for more info which I had already submitted online and told them as much. They apologized and said they'd check then they called back about 45 minutes later, apologizing for the previous call and confirming my coverage was in place; just about the same time as their email confirmation arrived. All very slick IMHO.

 

Also noted that the residual (replacement) value for my 4 year-old sports lorry was also 85k baht higher than the previous insurance (AXA) and two other companies.

Thanks for the update.. What is the NCB and where would I find it?

Their quote for our car was less than half what we pay I think next time we will use them, Im looking to see if we could get a refund from the present company as none of the body shops around here will deal with them bad at paying and I was told they tell the garages to use copy parts 

The garages won't deal with who? Your current company or Roojai?

We went with Roojai  in July this year on a 1 year old Civic Turbo, premium was 3,000 thai baht cheaper than any other quote.

In August a Truck ran into the back of us in Loei, claims guy came out next day and authorized repairs at main Honda dealer

 

Service was great can highly recommend  

Did they send someone to the accident scene?

My Vigo had a total loss value way higher than my previous insurers...

Yes, that's interesting.. They valued my Vigo B150,000 higher than my current company.

I switched last January. Painless online signup and easily 50% cheaper than my previous first class insurance provider. I have read on the forums of two separate no-fault claims that were handled as efficiently as any other.

Thanks.. I appreciate your input..

In my second year with them, they are actually brokers. Never had a claim in the time I have been with them so can't comment on that aspect.

 

I did save a good amount though from previous company when I switched.

I'm wondering which company they placed your insurance with..

Yup, they're great, my premium went down by around 40%, & I got a 1k baht discount card, which didn't have any daft T&C's.

That's awesome.... Thanks guys.. I appreciate the input

I used the Roojai online App to get a quote for my Toyota Vigo.

Seems their quote is 50% less than I am currently paying for the same 

coverage.

I am wondering if anyone has direct experience with Roojai. 

I did read some Social Media posts that said some dealers and repair

shops won't accept them for direct payments due to slow payments.

Any info would be appreciated...

Thanks KhunBENQ for your concrete answer.

 

I checked and I have a warranty till 20 march 2020, however I stupidly lost the invoice from Lazada ( If there was one ).

 

But if it still work after the battery is 0, I am happy enough with this.

 

Thanks again.

Log into your Lazada account. Click on account name and Go to "My Orders" There you can display and print a copy of your order.

You can use this method and use PayPal at most online stores..

Where did you hear/read about the September cutoff of transfers thru BBK NYC?

 

Btw, why not just make a one-time deposit 800K into your Thai savings account? You would then not have to worry about the monthly transfers. If you do not have 800K available in your savings/portfolio, then perhaps Thailand is not the place to retire.

Not everyone has the ability to deposit 800k in a Thai bank tho they may have the combined income of 65000k/mo

There are plenty more articles about this subject 

If I remember correctly, my DW uses 10 Liters of water for a full cycle. Considerably less then hand washing.

Sea salt works fine and is much cheaper as a water softener (that is the only reason it is used) and is available everywhere.  

They say sea salt damages the DW. How long have you been using it and why not use an all in one tab?

Years ago Foodland had USA product that worked well but stopped stocking for Oz Finish which was less than useful (but seems to be in control here).  For a number of years was able to order on Ebay from seller in Spain but lost that source couple of years ago and had to use HomePro powder (which at least is a reasonable cost).  But have found Shopee source which will try once finnish current stock.

https://shopee.co.th/MLST-Multifunctional-Deep-Cleaning-Automatic-Dishwasher-Tablets-Detergent-Cleaner-i.104851683.2474271011

I have used that stuff from shopee and it's garbage. It doesn't desolve or clean well and leaves a lot of residue in the DW.  Try sourcing another brand on eBay or Amazon.

I have yet to see any that would get clean without pre clean in sink if anything but flat type (which is not what they use here).  This is from more than 20 years of using in Thailand and 4 different models of dishwashers.  Yes they are good for sanitizing but not so great for cleaning.  That said perhaps if only cleaning for one or two people you would have space to allow better wash - but for extended family use/full washer the cleaning is not that good - and they are the people needing.  

My experience has been in home but company repair people are well aware of the issue so I am not alone.  Two different models had severe damage on 3 occasions that I recall.  

 

I have and Electrolux top of the line DW for 5 years. It makes hot water and sanitizes as well. Never had a repair.

My dishes are squeaky clean and glasses sparkle. Yes we do get an occasional plate that does not get cleaned perfectly.

The issue is getting quality DW detergent here in Thailand. The Thai products don't work very well and the US products are way over priced.

I usually ask friends to bring a bag back when they travel to their home country. I check eBay as well and have been able to get a decent price.

But what I don't get is sick/colds. AFAIK, must have a DW.

At Macro, you can get all the DW safe glasses and dishes you will ever need.
