  1. We hear about these crackdowns periodically, usually it's nothing. That's not to say that there won't be a real one at some point. If you're targeted then it's likely you will have to gift a very large brown envelope. Your nominee shareholders should be people you actually know and trust who won't admit to being straw men at the first question. Never use nominees suggested by your lawyer. If you have a home in a company, there are some things you need to do. For example, in your will, don't leave the house to someone. You don't own it so it's not yours to leave, instead leave the shares in your company to someone. Once your home is in a company, it's very expensive to take it out of the company and close the company. The land office will assess the value and it's going to be higher than when you put it into the company so the company has a tax liability on that profit and after that, closing costs. You probably have undated forms signed by your nominees and copies of their ID cards. ID cards are valid 7 years only, so you need to get new copies on expiry or your undated forms are useless. There are ways to own a house in a company legally. The legal test is whether your primary motive for doing it was to circumvent the foreign ownership laws.
  2. Thanks @Pib I ordered one and pro version of car scanner too.
  3. We just had quotes on insurance for the MG4, 11,000 THB with Roojai for me as the only driver. 28,000-30,000 for the other companies with my daughters as named drivers. I think it’s outrageous.
  4. Thanks, I guessed that was what you were probably doing. How soon after buying the car did you do it? Have you managed to notice any degradation? I thibk I will buy one of those OBD devices, is it the "carscanner" ?
  5. You can use 3rd party toners but I prefer the original HP ones, the last service was about 5,000 baht with new colour toners and new black toner cartridge in the box with a lot left in the existing cartridge. The transfer belt and imaging drum were the expensive items in the service. Service was done at HP's authorised service centre in Chiang Rai. It's functionally equivalent to a new one with all the parts replaced. I replaced it with a new HP black only model whilst the old one was being serviced, but the new one takes much longer to connect to my WiFi and is uglier.
  6. You may be joking, but there's actually a lot to be said for that, be careful with those emoji's we wouldn't want you catching transamitis.
  7. How are you determining KWH into the battery? are you allowing for charging losses? I think the MG helps you determine SoH because when fully charged, the indicated range has dropped from 425km to 405km. On my Seal the range is nearly always the same, though I did get it to indicate 585km last time which is 5 more than it's supposed to have.
  8. I have a HP color laser printer for sale, mostly new internals belts and toners. If he’s interested, I can send details, it’s on bahtsold too.
  9. This was the service department at the MG dealer. He showed me it on his mobile phone, I suspect he used something like the commercially available carscanner device, the display looked like ones you've posted Pib. It's an LFP battery pack. It's normal for batteries to age more in the first year then slow down. I would say ours is probably on the bad side of normal. I drove it for 10 months and I kept it close to 100% SoC every day which accelerates aging, I also have a heavy right foot. My eldest daughter has driven it for the last 13 months and she will average a 55-60% SoC as she only charges it (always to 100%) when it's down to below 20%. She also has a heavy right foot and cruises faster than I do, probably nearer to 120km/hr on a journey. I just renewed the Seal's insurance with Viriyah and asked them to quote for the MG4 and they said they don't currently cover MG4's.
  10. I took our 23 month old MG4 with 29,000km in to have the battery checked. SoH is 92.8%
  11. This is what I would do. If your existing RCBO Safety cut is working properly, I don’t see why you would need another. You have 3 phase, if your planning on staying in that house, I would go for a 3 phase 22Kw charger, if your buying a Sealion 7 (for example) it will charge at 11Kw (don’t buy a 3 phase 11Kw wall box under any circumstances). I would put your wall box on an industrial plug and fit an industrial socket where you want your wall box (red 3 phase 32 amp or blue single phase 32 amp) then you can take the charger with you if you move house. To be neat, I would go for a charger that records what it pumps into the car.
  12. I think a video will with the witnesses in frame backed up with a written will visible in the video is an excellent idea.
  13. Get a quote and then check the proposed insurance company against Trustpilot.
  14. Probably be the one you need to check on trustpilot?
  15. Yes I agree that a good trustpilot review can't necessarily be trusted, but a bad trustpilot review can be trusted. I'm thinking of one particular insurance company that props up regularly on this platform.
