We are currently building a new house and the architect has only specified the number and position of switches, lights and other consumers. She said it's up to the technician or engineer to make detailed electrical plans. While I have a basic understanding of electricity, I still have a few questions. 1.) I want the electric outlets all grounded. I guess this is the current standard in European countries anyways??? 2.) safety has a high priority. I don't understand the differences between RCD, RCCB and so on. Which system is the standard at the moment and how does it look on a wiring diagram or the breaker box / MDB. 3.) for connecting the wires in the junction boxes I don't want them to be just twisted together Thai style. I want them to use quick connectors. Am I overreacting? I guess the use of connectors is standard in Europe for a few decades already.... 4.) I've read that some A/C companies refuse to install inverter units on a RCD (or similar layout). Is this true? Or must that circuit(s) from the A/C just be excluded from the RCD wiring. Thank you for your help 🙏🏻

Very unlikely in this case it has something to do with the concrete. Building sites like this size have their own concrete mixing plant on site and keep records and cube samples of every batch of mixed concrete. I pretty much suspect substandard steel and wrong bending of the rebar led to the collapse

In theory yes. But how many times people get denied entry because of too many visa exempt entries.... ?

I saw this one at the current Motorshow. Geely Geome Xingjuan (Starwish) No price announced yet, but could be under 400k THB. Interesting car for city use but with full size and specs (definitely not a microcar). However, the motor, battery and top speed is much lower than his competitors BYD Dolphin and Aion UT. Regarding Aion UT, I think it's a fantastic car. The higher trim version comes with every possible gimmick and has a whopping 238 HP. For my situation (we are only two person household), I would buy it instantly if we wouldn't have the MG 4 already.

But currently MG 4 is like that

The reason why I'm asking, I'm currently staying in Thailand on my first VE 60 days arrival by air and I'm leaving for honeymoon to China. Flight would be DMK - KMG - DMK. On the same arrival day I have my outbound flight from BKK back home and will be returning to Thailand a week later. I'm afraid I might have too many VE in a short time. So basically I would stay on Thai soil for less than twelve hours, only to transfer between DMK and BKK. For this I don't want to "waste" another VE by air. Is there any transit VE stamp that I can request from the IO that allows me to stay, let's say 12 hours in Thailand?

My bad. This is obviously new model naming policy from MG starting 2025. No longer the "old" X model. Probably because of confusion with X-Power. Still would go for the V model. Blind Spot assist saved me many times from collisions, mostly with crazy motorcycles. ELK is annoying for every day driving, agree. MG dealer told us there'll be a software update where ELK is disabled from the start and you have to switch it on. One pedal system. No idea what is the difference to the current system. Since driving my MG I have set KERS to level 3 and it is literally one pedal drive already. I rarely use the brakes.

Sorry, I was talking about the D model from around 2023/24. They seem to have made some changes in the naming (see recent post from KhunLA). What used to be the X model, is now D and V. Four wheel drive still X-Power.

Nothing will happen. I bet 1,000 THB

Agreed 👍🏻 ELK is annoying for most daily driving but quite useful on the motorway and expressway in conjunction with adaptive cruise control ACC. It's almost like self driving mode from Tesla autopilot

I think you are confused between X model and X power. Besides that, the features that you mentioned are more than useful and standard on any other EV. So, for me it's a no brainer to spend little extra money to go for the X model

I don't know about the MG ZS, but neither the MG4 D nor X model have a sunroof. But the D model literally has no driver assistance systems, parking cameras and a smaller screen.

The D model is really low spec. Wouldn't want to have it when buying a new car...

They'll never learn....

I'll take that anytime over the cheapo Neta cars.
