Sorry Pib …wrong description …it’s a PHEV, an E350e with a 6kWh battery. Bought it in 2019 along with the MB eight year extended warranty so that I could sleep at night…lol. It only does about 18kms on the battery alone … enough to get to town and back but not quite enough to get to the golf club and back … I can understand why people like EV’s, so quite, cheap to run and quite quick. I did once get 30kms out of the battery, but that was on a quite Sunday morning nursing it and no air con.

Thanks PIB ….I’ve suggested that he takes a few reading to see where his usage is, but like suggested TOU seems to be out, plus an installation cost of 6000thb. Maybe he misunderstand about the new 10mm cable route … I’m chugging along nicely with my hybrid car and solar system ……seem to be putting 6kWh into it’s battery just about every day.

Friend has just ordered an XPeng G6. It comes with a 7kW charger … his elect meter is 100/30 and supplier is MEA. It seems that the 'car company' will arrange to run a separate supply from his electric meter just for the charger. He, like me doesn’t have a very high max demand so should be no problem that way. Also, he doesn’t normally do a lot of km each day. He is asking me if he should have TOU. But neither of us know the tariff. So am wondering if anyone on this forum does. thanks

A shemale a day keeps the doctor away.

A shemale a day keeps the doctor away… maybe most doctors, but certainly not Dr Dick …. -
I have taken Ramipril since I was 48, now nearly 80. Was on 5mg in UK but it was initiallynreduced here to 2,5 mg. I buy Tritace from the local chemist .. cost is 1050 Baht for 100 tablets of 2.5 mg. And I now only take half a tablet a day. The chemist is near The Ngam Wong Wan Mall …in Nonthaburi

Absolutely ... We have the MXS 5.0 ...five or six years old now and still going strong. Bought direct from CTEK but as above you could probably save a little by buying from Lazada. You might find the XS 0.8 too small as it meant for motorbike batteries, and it will take a long time, if at all, to charge a car battery. AS mentioned above your battery should not drop any voltage in a week. If you have a decent multimeter you could check the parasitic draw. If you don't know how ...google.

Any experience with car/motorcycle accident ?
JAS21 replied to OneManShow's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
If you have first class insurance you should let the accessor appointed by your insurance company deal. Doesn’t your policy say cover up to 200,000baht medical expenses per person injured. Look in the right hand column of your policy. I don’t understand why you gave any money. Let your insurance company deal. If his medical bill was above 200K then guess bad luck for you. -
We buy from a guy who imports from the USA,,. He supplies a reasonable range… if anyone wants his contact details you can pm me..

Unfortunately I think I’ll be there even sooner …you cannot stop old age, but lifestyle can slow it down……I’m trying to…lol

Western Food - when only this will do !
JAS21 replied to CharlieH's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Ouch … No, knew how much it would cost, two meals + service charge and VAT. But as I said that type of meal leaves a greasy aftertaste. They can charge those prices as its quite nice, near Muang Thong Thani … where well off Thais and affluent ex-pats who have their rental paid by their company etc live … and of course close to where we live. Probably have been there five times since it opened. Twice for breakfast, once for lunch and twice to take friends. It is actually a nice place. Sometimes they have live music, but not at breakfast time. Yeah … you are correct, it was extravagant but at my time of life who really cares if we spend more for breakfast than if we went to ‘the local chippie’… so to speak. MrsJ likes it there so fine by me and the outlook is quite pleasant, a little lake with fountains… YMMY -
Western Food - when only this will do !
JAS21 replied to CharlieH's topic in Western Food in Thailand
We have just been to Brooks Brunch and Bar for breakfast ..open 8:30am to midnight and a very popular place. Haven't been there for months but just fancied someone else to cook breakfast. No coffee or whatever, 842thb. Yes, it tasted nice whilst eating but afterwards just had a sort of greasy aftertaste in my mouth and a full feeling. Probably because we don't eat that sort of meal as generally stick to Thai type food. -
My wife also has UK and Thai passports ...we left the UK in 2007 having previously lived together there for five years. Living just outside Bangkok have never had any problems. You will come across corruption but should be able to avoid it. I hear brown envelopes are handy but have never had to use them myself ... Ah I lie, just once at immigration and it halved my forgotten 90Day report fine. You might want to live in a gated village, the one we live in haven't had any reported thefts for years now. WE have never been back to the UK since we left ...........

Can anyone tell me a better culinary combo than this?
JAS21 replied to Elvis Presley's topic in Western Food in Thailand
That's a very searching question ... you must of searched hard to find it. More and more posts on this site seem to be by newly appointed complete dick heads. Not that I'm inferring you are one of course. .... -
Do you mean you take it undiluted? Recommended way is in a glass of water.. and yes, I also take it if I’m gonna have a high carbohydrate .

Bangkok fights smog with free public transport for a week
JAS21 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Well, we live on the border of BKK and Nonthaburi ... just now AQI/2,5ppm is 174/92. Have been looking around to find s0omewhere to go to to get away from this but it looks like similar condition over the whole country ...info from Air Visual App. Wonder how much difference the weeks free public transport will make ... probably sfa.
