  1. I always collect the free shipping vouchers and I only ever order on my phone app. I’m pretty sure it’s to do with being in Chiang Rai.
  2. It’s common for Lazada to say free shipping and when you get to checkout it’s 38 baht. I think it’s due to being in Chiang Rai.
  3. Maybe Lineman tells the rider you're tipping history?
  4. It's well known that Lazada's search engine is rubbish. I did search for all the same model before ordering and bought the best price displayed. After ordering, Lazada offers you more of the same (I didn't search), and there was one more than 3,000 baht cheaper (nearer 4,000 baht to be precise). That buys me a few nice meals out.
  5. I am not deflecting, I don't care that it's noted on my profile, I spend a lot with Lazada, well over 1,000 purchases and counting. They won't cancel my account that's for sure. I did read the post, you clearly didn't. The OP said of you pay COD you can refuse delivery for a refund, I expanded that to say it's the same for paid orders. I'm not talking COD. Well, you would probably analyse my account and figure out what it's worth to you, after doing that, you would not be canceling my account.
  6. I have a 75" TV to be delivered in a day or two that I will reject because I found it 3,000 baht cheaper without the "free" soundbar that I don't want.
  7. Even if you have paid you can refuse delivery and get a full refund.
  8. I would look at a one year old, average mileage car. I would probably choose from the cars that depreciate the most in the first 12 months. Twice I have bought one year old Suzuki Ciaz's for my daughters, a 2018 RS we paid 395k for and a 2019 GL Plus we paid 350k for (this one only had 700km on it). We sold the RS about 18 months ago and got 330k for it, we lost 65k in 3 years and the GL Plus she still has but I'm looking to replace it with a one year old 18k km MG4 X that I have offered 500k for and I think that deal will go through in a few weeks. The GL Plus might lose anything up to 80k on, it's now done 19k km and is in showroom condition. What I wouldn't buy is Nissan, it looks like they're going bust, S&P downgraded their credit status to Junk 6 months ago.
  9. What you are saying is only true if the policy is named drivers. If it's the more normal and abundant "any driver" policy then my reply was correct.
  10. I just checked with Roojai, insured value 536k, quote was 11,3xx for someone 47 years old, named driver. So what do we think it’s worth?
  11. I’m trying to keep my Seal battery between 20-50% with an occasional top up to 100%. The ABB charger that comes with car is upgradable for Solar. Probably not very easy to get the solar gubbins though. i just finished charging and it mentions Solar…
  12. If you look at this from a civil action point of view. If the biker sued for damages. The bike shouldn’t be on the road so he has an issue with the clean-hands doctrine. The dashcam video doesn’t help his cause, he appears to be riding recklessly. The car driver’s legal representative would most likely ask the court to dismiss any claim for damages quoting the clean-hands doctrine. Regarding the car suing the biker for damages, it would most likely be dismissed because the car driver made a maneuver which was too rapid and reckless. Nil-Nil
  13. What do you EV owners think a one year old MG4 X Model with 18k km is worth? I’ve made an offer on one, my eldest daughter has one, upgraded with body kit and aftermarket larger wheels and tyres. She can be jealous so this used one for her younger sister might avoid WW3.
  14. I think you watched a different video. I am not even convinced there was contact or that the car driver was aware of the accident.
  15. You’re right, I was assuming any driver policies. I may be wrong but I think named driver policies started with Roojai. I’ve never seen it offered until recently. With named drivers you would need to tell the insurance company who may want an extra fee if they consider the risk increases or may even decline. Roojai have offered to refund me in the past if I didn’t pass the insurance across to the car’s new owner.
  16. The insurance goes with the car, the insurance company would like to be notified, but it’s not mandatory.
  17. You are correct. I only provided analysis up to the point of the accident, what happened afterwards doesn’t affect blame for the accident. Even miss and run is a crime, we don’t know there was a hit and we don’t know the driver knew there was an accident. Hit and Run is a very serious and egregious crime.
  18. I don’t agree, the law describes where you can overtake and it’s almost always the right lane, it can be the left lane under specific circumstances. You are breaking the RTA by passing in the middle because you’re not following the law. I accept you can ride lane splitting, but you must not pass any vehicle if there is traffic behind you.
  19. No, you missed the qualification, it can only be done when there is no other vehicle behind, there were lots of vehicles behind, even the dashcam. Section 45. No driver shall overtake other conveyance by the left side of the overtaken conveyance, except in the following cases: (1) the conveyance which is going to be overtaken is turning right, or gives right turning signal; (2) such road is divided into two or more lanes of the same direction. The overtaking by the left side of the overtaken conveyance under (1) or (2) may be done only when there is no other conveyance following behind.
  20. IMHO as an ex-magistrate, I would find them both guilty. First, looking at the motorbike, his offences under the Thai RTA were, Section 44 no indicator, no lane splitting in the run up to the accident Section 45 overtaking on the left. This illegal maneuver put him in a position where the car driver did not expect him to appear had he been aware of what was behind him. The car driver's offences, Section 44 no indicator, and clearly not checking his mirror before making the maneuver. There are other offences that committed that I would consider unreasonable but a belligerent policeman might try to pursue. For riders out there, be aware lane splitting is not legal in Thailand, you have to be in a designated lane. You can only overtake on the right except under special circumstances, eg vehicle ahead turning right etc, you must use your indicators when overtaking. The MG was driving without due care, I don't think it was deliberate, he probably never saw the bike, deliberate actions follow a longer aggressive run up to the accident.
  21. I’ve always said Musk makes decisions on emotion often with appalling consequences. He had a very public spat with the head of the company that licensed LIDAR to Tesla when he refused to drop the price and he said FU we’ll go camera based. I always thought he was going down a blind alley and at some point legislation would make him backtrack. I do think that is coming, it will only take one death that could have been avoided. Apparently it’s coming to a head with his robotaxi. I read the below this morning. QUOTE Several AI and autonomous vehicle experts told InsideEVs that Tesla's technical approach to its self-driving cars is flawed. Tesla only uses cameras and AI on the Robotaxi whereas rivals like Waymo use a more comprehensive sensor suite including radar and LIDAR UNQUOTE.
  22. You've got it mostly right. On an inverter model the compressor speed will be adjusted based on how far off the set temperature is from the ambient temperature, it doesn't have anything to do with airflow unless you have selected an airflow which is too slow to support the speed it would like to run the compressor in which case the compressor's maximum speed will be throttled. You're right in saying the compressor could be delivering anything between 3,000 and 12,000 BTU depending on the gap between set & ambient temperatures. If you want less dehumidification, set the airflow as high as possible (this is true on both inverter and non-inverter units). The room temperature will be maintained just the same but less dehumidification will take place. I think you may have been talking about the fan's "Auto" setting. The air con will adjust both compressor speed and fan speed based on how far apart the set temperature and the ambient temperature are. I disagree on choosing Japanese units, the newer Chinese ones, eg TCL are every bit as good and less than half the price.
  23. Good Cat is still a possibility.
  24. Try using static IP addresses. It's not a cure but it may fix the symptoms. I had this with mobiles, we found another router on the network badly configured as an access point. Our network spans 6 houses over a kilometer in distance.
