Appreciate a post in this forum indicating if you receive 7162 form from SSA (September 2nd mailing ). I am looking out for this form . Bad experience with June 2nd 1st mailing ( received it 2 months later on July 27th) probably will get the 2nd mailing .just waiting …

Yes , I am in the same camp, choosing the extended over the standard .thanks for your thoughts . I Will pull the trigger sept 29th, however I hope the BYD seal introduction on sept 28 does not sway my decision . Haha

Hi everyone , thanks for your feedback . I have 2 weeks to decide before I give 4k deposit . BKKBike09, Can you share your reasons why you decided on then dolphin extended (160k baht more ) versus the standard . For me, I choose the extended over the standard is for : - the additional range (340 vs 420km wltp) and power charge (60 vs 80kw) - ventilated seats - power and torque ( 15 vs 7 sec) I can live without the sunroof, wireless charging, larger set wheels, but nice to have . Not sure if multi link suspension is better compared to the torsion . r

Machahoom , Thanks for your feedback , do you turn off / disable the lane assists , etc everytime you start the car? I am watching Bjorn nyland review mg4 51 kWh driving impressions and summary now to get more info .

I am looking at below and asked for your thoughts to pull the trigger by end of September . BYD dolphin extended ( 859k ) MG 4 D ( 769) I believe the MG4d is a better choice than BYD dolphin standard due to MG4d larger battery /charge and RWD and only 70k more . However for 90k more , BYD dolphin extended peeks my interest to be considered . Appreciate MG owners and BYD owners to chime in. My only known issue is what JBCchaingrai confirmed , the requirement to set drive mode and regen everytime you start the car . Thanks

are all your BYD settings i.e drive mode ( sport/normal ) or regen does not need to be set up when you cycle the car too ? this is great if you do not have to set up again everytime you get in . I am not sure but I think (mg 4 drivers can confirm ) that settings done on the screen to change regen or drive mode needs to be set up again everytime and are not set permanently . I saw on you tube that this was one thing owners hope will change in future updates.

Those who paid fines when they renew their registration , how far do the fines go to . I assume it was either the last car registration or current calendar year ? Will know when renew comes I guess .

Somewhere I read that the technician can programatic changed to WLTP versus their starting point of NEDC even with no dynamic range est. 420 (WLTP) 480 (NEDC)

When MF was not able to get Pita as PM, the baton was handed to PT. This was even after MF with over 251 to form the govt.( and now PT scrambling to get that ? Can the baton be handed back over to MF so that as the most votes party be on the drivers seat again?

Update to 1st mailing (June 2nd 7162) form : received - Jul 23 Returned via registered mail Jul 23 latest usps below wait for 2nd mailing if ssa sent another if not on time . Thanks for all your advise .

Thanks for the info . BYD dealer informed me that the price is suppose to be 1 million baht for the dolphin extended and thus might be that price once subsidies are eliminated . This can about when the insurance coverage was at 1 million instead of purchase price of 849,000 baht. The dealer did not give much details of this subsidy that is why I asked in the forum . So basically the lower price of BYD/mg compared to Tesla /Volvo is the tax incentive given because BYD and mg have committed to build in Thailand unlike Tesla or Volvo ex30 at this time who only enjoy less import tax for ev cars

I understand that BYD and mg ev cars are subsidized by Thai govt while Telsa and others are noteg Volvo.. Can anyone share what the subsidies are , what criteria were used and how much are the subsidies / expiry ? Thanks

I was quoted 59 baht when I mailed mine but opted for the registered. I plan my 2nd mailing using only air mail , 59 baht in sept

Should it not be Aug 1st as the last day and not end of Aug , 60 days from June 2nd for our 1st mailing 7162?

Thanks for the url, I checked website and found that The basic coverage $500,000 limit includes below wording , does that mean they cover pre existing , like high BP and cholesterol chrinic illness . Wow , good april FR coverage if that is the case. With $ 500 deduct, the insurance premium is reasonable compared to Thai with no cover on pre existing . “ Hospitalization and other types of care in case of chronic illness “ this is a good choice

Hi Sheryl, I am looking for an international insurance for myself . Since there are no broker referral for April (French) insurance on this discussion , i google and found this https://www.april-international.com/en/long-term-international-health-insurance and enter info to get a quote . Is this the same company and this how you got yours . I am an American, living long term in Thailand that needs medical coverage .Thanks

Pibs, so i have 2 chances to be successful for 2nd mailing : 1) my current 1 st mail reply 2) for 2nd mailing that it returns by 60 days . Hopefully i get the 2nd mailing not so late that i cannot meet the 60 days 2nd mailing date if i can do anything else ( should i resent Now another 7162 using regular mail to meet the 2nd mailing request prior to sept) please share . Thanks

Mine was 355 baht too. It is enroute to ssa . Hope is gets there by aug 1st, 60 days from june 2nd . If not i hope my 2nd mailing will arrive earlier than 1st mailing and i will use regular mail for speedy mail

Hi Pib, what a relief! I just started receiving SS this year april and never know about this 7162 till i read this forum. You also helped me in my ss benefit application ???? So i have another chance , 2nd mailing in sep if my 1st did not arrive on time to them. ( hope i get the 2nd earlier than this 1st mailing) I appreciate your help and now i have a plan of execution. Thanks alot

I just received my 7162 , july 23rd. i promptly sent it out on the same day via registered mail. It had june 2nd date printed above, insm concerned of the due date , 60 days . any advise what can i do to avoid discontinuation of my ssa ? Thanks

Is it “blind “ votes by the MP for the PM position , like they did for the deputy speaker position . If that is the case , the country will not know the yea , nay , absence or unreadable votes by the MP.

Without the kasikorn debit card, how do you pay for lazada purchases ?

Just got a sms from cimb thai informing me that foreign customers will not be able to do transactions - Fund transfer 50K or more via their Digital banking app ( Cimb do not have online website) after 16th June. Not much of a warning. So you will need to go to the branch or use their ATM debit card. Thai nationals need to do a facial update :)

Thanks for your replies . I will relay these to my friend . After Kenya , the flight to Philippines might even raise some concerns. Not sure about Philippines. , let alone to Thailand after Philippines .

An American friend is coming to Thailand for a 3 days visit but is concerned that she be denied entry. her passport will show the following : she plans to go Kenya first for a Safari ( yellow fever designated epidemic area) and then to Philippines for 5 days before arriving to Thailand . Thailand requires a yellow fever vaccination to enter but she has an issue with this vaccination and has certified medical record to prove she cannot take this vaccine (it is on the WHO vaccination paper ) What can she do to find out that she can enter Thailand with that certificate ( no yellow fever vaccine ) or avoid quarantine in Thailand since it is only for 5 days visit . Strange that Philippines does not require yellow fever vaccine nor is japan where she will be going after Thailand . Thanks for your help
