  1. It is basically just Google Earth and if you click on Google it opens Google Maps , disappointed !
  2. I did wonder if this was the case, see my earlier post ! Just checked and you are right, it shows where the phone is !, what use is that ??
  3. As usual with any new car nowadays there’s always someone trying to create a new accessory, often unnecessary. Here’s one I would file in the same folder as the, rear spoiler, kick sensor, soft close function for frunk, anti scratch inside film and auto sunshade for glass roof. fbsaver.mov
  4. I bought one of those super bright torches from a FB ad a few years ago, it is indeed very bright but the annoying thing is it takes a long press to turn on/off and a short press to scroll through the 4 brightness (including flashing) options. Everyone wants to briefly borrow it when they see its power but never understand how it operates. When the Tessabahn water truck guy was filling our water tank ( another equally exciting topic ) one evening I watched him scroll through the lights options 5 times before I eventually motioned him to give it back. For the OP, here’s a FB group you might be interested in: Eagle eyed posters might have noticed i have already joined !!
  5. Yes, I think I am right in saying that when you do an online application it is not required and on the copy of the TM47 they create it is left blank.
  6. Don’t think that the arrival card number appears on the online application any more .
  7. Well I am assuming it is the car, could be my phone location ??
  8. Click on Services, opens up a map of SEA with the car location ( you have to zoom in forever !).
  9. Yes, surprised no enterprising fella has designed a trash can or tissue box to clip on there. Looks like a nifty little idea, should have put one on the door pillar as a coat hook or a couple on the back of the seats for the bored teenagers to hang their iPads or dangle the bubble tea !
  10. Back on topic ! Dolphin owners !! Who knew there’s a “ secret “ hook in the front passenger footwell ?? For up to 3 kg of your favourite sticky rice and pork satay perhaps ? Seems a strange location, wonder what the recommended use for this is ?? or does the Atto 3 and Seal have similar ??
  11. Facebook Marketplace. Be prepared for the “ tent “ dealers who will offer you 25/35% less than your asking price but you might just find someone who is genuinely interested.
  12. Or maybe he was at the docks watching them come off the ship ?? Either way he lets himself down with blatant rubbish like this !!
  13. See you bought one for coming and one for going, wise old Owl !
  14. While Sam’s videos are “ interesting “, here he is just stating the facts from the Autolifethailand website already posted here, sometimes he lets himself down: ” when I was in Thailand I saw 12 Atto 3’s in a row !! “ ……. did you ….. did you really Sam ??
  15. The dealership being built now in downtown Ayutthaya appears to have a tiny plot adjacent to the gas station ( which is Esso but with a tiny Susco sign also ? ) and since the plot was prepared, almost a year now, I have always wondered why it is so small. The dealership I bought from, right on the border of Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani, has a small lounge and workshop, probably capable of 4 cars at any one time. The bulk of the dealerships here are on the frontage road next to the Asia Highway and probably premium prices, although BMW/Mini are constructing. Like you say, BYD have probably decided to flood the country with dealerships but not all are capable of any major repairs.
  16. My nearest BYD dealership is 18km , but another (5 km away) is due to be completed soon, when it was announced I contacted them on Line to enquire when it would be up and running “ end of April “ they told me……. April 2023 !! It’s in a strange location right in downtown Ayutthaya and attached to a Susco gas station as a few are in this area.
  17. Don’t see any price reduction for the bz4x . At 1.836 million baht I was also surprised to see it selling that many . https://stores.toyota.co.th/register/bz4x
  18. An interesting battle going on for 2nd place in the Championship at the moment, Leeds briefly hit 2nd spot but down to 3rd again and Ipswich have a game in hand so could well go back to 4th. I still have a lot of Leeds fans friends back home who are enjoying the action, if they were honest I think they would admit seeing them play well in the Championship is more rewarding than seeing them struggle in the Premier, but they would never admit that !!
  19. Dolphin still leading the EV charge in Jan 2024 with Seal hot on its heels ( flippers ? ) EV registrations in Jan 2024 accounted for 20.5% of all vehicles registrations. https://autolifethailand.tv/register-ev-bev-thailand-jan-2024/
  20. We have had a similar situation for the past 8 months, had around 6 or 7 visits from the Tessabahn water truck to fill our 2 x 750 ltr tanks. The water pressure was so p1ss poor that it couldn’t get up to anything above waist height. My next door neighbour bought a small pump put it in one of those plastic storage boxes then pumped up into his tank ( approx 2 meters ). We managed to control our usage by showering from a “ dustbin “ in each toilet ( although the entrance to each toilet is above the height of the water tanks we could siphon water in daily ), washing clothes and watering the garden using the poor city water pressure. Thankfully whatever was causing the drastic drop in pressure for 8 months, we never got a satisfactory answer, has been resolved and we are back to normal, although heavy usage on a weekend still causing a drop in pressure.
  21. The price will determine the fate of this “ hotter “ hatch , if they had released this shortly after the MG4 it would have done well, now I am not so sure. Do like the green colour though.
  22. Yes , standard range would give me 650 km as the app does.
