    Seahorse Ferry

    Interesting, Bangkok from what port?
  2. Agree, I think Monthong is the current mainstream variety, also good for export
  3. Yeah, coming to Thailand for a price tag 2+ million baht

    Makro Pro

    You would think every Makro store is almost the same since it's a chain store. Reality is far from that. It depends a lot on the store size, location and obviously the store manager how their range of products is and how well they are stocked. I have around three Makros around my home and avoid two like the plague.
  5. I am quite sure I've seen the land that the OP is looking for on DD Property. It's not farmland but rather some speculation from the owner or property agent to built something like a resort or whatever commercial there, hence the expensive price tag....
  6. I'd definitely would opt for the MG4. Not because I own one and I'm super happy with it. I've done extensive research before my decision, which was buy either Atto 3 or MG 4. My GF helped me with searching also Thai reviews and FB groups. Main issue about BYD is the lack of dealer network and situation with spare parts in the country. But to me the test drive really made a difference and the impetus to buy the MG4. So do the test drive and choose which car you like more.
  7. One hour drive to Suphanburi town. Hardly near...
  8. Got offered a decent paid job but in the middle of nowhere. The location is Suphanburi province near the border to Chainat province. Currently I am living with my partner in a house near Lat Krabang and have no intention to leave from there. The potential workplace is a 2,000 soul village with 7-11 and CJ Mart. Suphanburi city with the next Makro or possibly other food than Thai food or something to entertain is a one hour drive by car. Obviously it is also impossible to commute every day to BKK from there. The housing might be subsidised by employer or even fully paid. I am concerned that the first two months there might go well but after that I think I might bore myself to death. Besides riding motorcycle or fishing I can't see any activities to do there not to mention I'll be alone there as only farang during the week and have no intention to make friendship with other Thais, which mostly included sitting around doing nothing and / or drinking. There isn't even a gym in a nearby radius, which is another downside. As much as I'd like to get the job and work there I think it might be better to be honest to the employer from the beginning and decline the offer. Or should I just take the money for whatever two or three months and then just change to a more suitable working location?
  9. See posts below and several YouTube videos, can take up to 117 kW
  10. That is strange, because I never get more than 65 kW with my MG 4
  11. Are there any high speed DC chargers in Thailand with more than 50 or 60 kW?
  12. The units are domestic ones with IR remote controls. And also no temperature display on the units anymore (new design...). The problem I try to solve is to 1. run them all at the same temperature without running around with the IR remote and checking each unit individually and 2. set the temperature from a single wired controller and connect this controller to the Trolmaster system As you know by now, yes it is a grow. And yes, it is very badly planned with domestic air cons, I am aware of this. I wasn't involved in the planning stage as I joined this company just recently and trying to fix all these errors....
  13. Hi everyone, is it possible to connect several AC unit (same brand and model) to one wired master control box? And then from this box connect to an external automation system? Just need to be able to adjust the temperature. Mode (cooling) and fan speed (possibly low or medium) will be fixed once the units are running.
  14. Could you tell the name and location of the restaurant? Not everyone outside of pattaya is familiar with landmark locations. Thank you
  15. Just one question: WHY? Did it come for free with the last shipment of second hand AG machines?
  16. That is already wrong on so many levels. And unfortunately typical for Thailand. No one dares to intervene in such situations and just minding their own business...
  17. 200 hp on that shoebox. Must be amazing acceleration
  18. No need for Chuwit and his anti-weed crusade. Current polls see Bhumjaithai Party lurching at 4 percent. No way they are part of a ruling coalition. And I don't think it has much to do with their weed policy rather than the failures during covid and the nepotism of the buriram clan
  19. What do battery storage systems have to do with EV cars? Please explain. I'm eager to know the relation. Meanwhile I'm happy to drive around the neighborhood with 1/10th of the cost of a gasoline car with my EV....
  20. You could DIY a heating station for Dynavap. Works either by induction or heat
  21. You should be able to find volcano in Thailand online (Facebook or Line groups) Thais always find a way to import and sell illegal items. Be prepared to pay more for the service.
  22. How's your financial situation? Just asking because with no work permit history it might be difficult to get a car financed or you plan to buy everything in cash? And do you really need an EV? You can make calculations based on gasoline and electricity cost. Another question, can you charge at home? And even if you can, be prepared to pay another 10k for meter upgrade and wiring. Home charger / wallbox is free when purchasing a new EV. If second hand EV , expect another 10k to buy home charger. Charging externally at public outlets is a pita and expensive. You might consider second hand vehicles (ICE or EV) from the dealer. Toyota, Honda and MG have good reputation for selling reliable and well maintained second hand cars.

    Seahorse Ferry

    You're right. I'm not saying the ferry service is bad. Just not suits my requirements, budget wise. I have no problem renting a scooter on Samui, so flying to Surat Thani and then take the ferry would be my choice. Train I've also done before if time was no constraint.
  24. Just picked up the MG4 from the dealer this morning. Just short drive to work for now. Even if I was satisfied with the rented GWM Ora Good Cat for the last ten days, I consider the the MG4 one, if not two classes higher for a similar price. Just feels more worthy, quiet, easier and more logical to use. Also the contact to the road, suspension and driving comfort feels like a much more expensive car. Tomorrow already going out for Songkran holidays to Ko Chang and getting long-distance experience right away. Planning to make some YTs to document it....
