I binged the whole 6 episodes, I liked it but then I like David Mitchell, without him it would probably be a bit lame.

Level here in Ayutthaya is high but no reason for concern ( yet ! ) but can change quickly if excessive water released up north. The Chao Phraya being the main culprit as formed by the joining of several other rivers ( Ping, Nan etc ) and right here in Ayutthaya also joined by Pasak river to head off in the direction of Bangkok via Crossy’s front room !! ( only jesting ). Here you can see the Pasak ( right ) joining the Chao Phraya ( middle) to continue south ( left ). IMG_4820.mov

My favourite Hitler speech:

You may be referring to this : This quote may be the cause for confusion: “ In the first stage of the EV 3.0 scheme, EVs priced below 2 million baht were granted up to 150,000 baht, and electric motorcycles priced below 150,000 baht received up to 18,000 baht. The grants are sent directly to the manufacturers, and customers can claim the grant once their vehicles are registered. “

In my local mall Texas Chicken came in with a large restaurant hoping for a big clientele, unfortunately that never happened and they reduced the restaurant by half. Still sales were poor and must have been depressing for the workforce to see KFC opposite booming. I preferred their menu over KFC and since this restaurant, and another at a nearby PTT station, opened i haven’t set foot in KFC. Ironically since announcing their closure they have been packed on the couple of times i have visited.

Tuna and tomato or thinly cut cucumber for me.

This Bangchak pump is 24 hr free charging and has now become my go to place for free EV juice. It’s a bit further than my nearest BYD dealer but has a coffee shop, restaurant and a handful of other shops plus it appears to be less frequented than the dealer. A good point about Monday being a good day to charge, my experience yesterday backed that up, 5 minutes sharing then 50 minutes all to myself .

EV range of 100km and combined NEDC of 800+ km, according to this presentation to BYD Australia Media in BYD China . snapshot from the below video.

Taking advantage of some free EV juice at a Bangchak pump near me. Located on a busy road I was pleased to see only 1 Dolphin sucking on the charger, and even more pleased to see that he was almost full !! Indeed he finished soon after I arrived ( i have that effect on people ! ). This Bangchak charger is different to the 2 BYD dealerships i have used in that the LED’s ( green for in use, blue for available and red for error ) are larger and at the top of the charger, but they also scroll giving you an instant view of roughly what percentage they are at ! ( correct me if wrong but i don’t remember the BYD chargers having this visual effect ). Handy if you are pulling up as you can see what the status is without having to stop the car . Anyhoo, enjoyed some freebies at 114 kw for a while and now near completion, 23° to 100° in 56 minutes

I had a leak under my house. Started with the pump cycling briefly one night and then became more frequent over a period of months until it was almost constant and we would shut off the pump when not in use. I would recommend to isolate the pump with a stop valve before and after to check if holding pressure, closing individual valves and both together. ( many pumps have a built in non return valve which could allow you pressure loss back to the tank if faulty ).If pump holding pressure then concentrate on the pipework and hardware. As said above, toilets can be a source of leaks if water is draining into the bowl or taps dripping. Check initially for any visible leaks, dry off the shower and check after a few hours for any seeping through the wall. Outside taps or sinks are a likely cause of small leaks. In my case i took several months to search for the leak inside the house but found nothing. Dug up the concrete outside the back door to fit a temporary stop valve just before where the pvc pipe disappeared under the house. The pump held pressure right up to the house but was leaking somewhere after. After convincing myself that the leak was not visible in the house therefore must be under the tiled concrete floor. I did some searching for leak detection but was not convinced that it could detect a small leak under a concrete floor so repiped the whole house externally !! Not a job I would wish on anyone although I did kind of enjoy the project. To the OP: Narrow down where your leak might be. Eliminate the pump first. Eliminate whether outside the house or somewhere inside. I didn’t try any leak detection service but maybe others have tried with success. Good luck.

He has a pump which is cycling due to the leak so the leak is between pump and the house and not affecting the meter, if the meter is running and pump not cycling then the leak will be between meter and pump.

We have a cat, okay the cat has us !!, who visits most days for a daytime snooze, the kids love Lucky ! He has graced us with his presence for around 2 years but we know he also visits the neighbours . A while ago he started stalking a black female who also visited us but only to eat and was very timid. Back in May “ Blackie” gave birth to 4 kittens under my car and they soon found climbing inside the car a perfect hideaway. We had to use a cat sounds video on my phone to call the mother who, feeling threatened, would come and call them out. We discovered that if they didn’t come out they would stay tucked up in the undercarriage of the car for local trips. One actually stayed in the car for around 30 hours and 500 km when we went to a family funeral, quickly descended when we returned home where the mother was waiting. Unfortunately I reversed over one and gradually they have disappeared with only one kitten and Blackie visiting us to eat occasionally. They do still give great pleasure when they visit and have caught at least 3 rats: IMG_4211.mov I wished they would have all stayed like this and grown up to entertain us daily but sadly not to be : IMG_3943.mov Kiki, as is now known, visits occasionally and a couple of times has come into the house for a play: IMG_4718.mov

So you also searched for a link to a LH drive Yaris ? How very petty .

Google indicates that your link is to an American website presumably showing a picture of a 2016 Toyota Yaris available in the US. As this topic is “ Electric Vehicles in Thailand “ it would be a better comparison to show a Thai 2016 Toyota Yaris interior. Here’s some courtesy of Facebook Marketplace. A bit different to your rendering:

Car interiors here in Thailand are varied with Honda and Toyota sticking to the more traditional colour scheme and the Chinese imports going for a more colourful approach. (Although that has changed slightly with MG and BYD favouring darker colour interiors recently). Some of the Chinese imports interiors are a bit of a shock to the system when you first take a look but if you own one you will adapt quite quickly. My taste has done a full circle, have owned these: 1) Honda 2) MG 3) GWM 4) BYD While the lighter/more colours interiors can be nice i still prefer a classy/classic black.

Shame, prefer Texas to KFC , those honey glazed biscuits, the mashed potato with gravy but in particular the wraps.
