It's actually very simple, if you didn't buy your crypto on an authorised Thai exchange but you did sell them on one, then you pay personal income tax (PIT) on the entire sales amount. If you bought them on an authorised Thai exchange then you pay PIT on the profit. Any tax accountant should be able to handle it.

Science confirms you are correct, installing a tinted film under the roof glass will make the glass hotter.

I recommend Citric Acid. I actually use swimming pool hydrochloric acid, it's 35% strength and I dilute it additionally 10 to 1. I don't recommend you use it unless you know what you are doing.

Do you need one? it may be fairly simple. Where did you buy your crypto? Was it prior to 2024?

There is an ECO setting on the air conditioning in the Seal, if that's set then cooling is hopeless. I find my Seal's cooling to be excellent. The roof panel is silver coated on the outside in the factory. It will get hot if parked in the sun and if there is an aftermarket tint on the underside then it will get even hotter. I have not found there to be much heated transmitted in from the glass panel, but if you park in the sun then the glass panel can get very hot, the airflow over it as the car is moving, keeps it cool.

Some food shops sell it and some chemists.

The powder in powdered descaler is citric acid. It's a lot cheaper if you can find it.

My dog fits anywhere, no doggy smells too.

Congratulations

Where is @ExpatOilWorker when you need him!

My plugs into the car (CCS2) do get warm, but overly hot. Warm is normal, if it's uncomfortably hot, knock your charging down to 13 amp, but I doubt you'll need to.

That's exactly what I would do too. Expect the plug in the wall to get warm, that's normal.

There's a right and a wrong thing to do here, I think you already know what is the right thing to do.

I’m not worried about distance to dealership. My previous two cars had to be trailered to Chiang Mai (Mercedes dealer 180km away) and Bangkok (German main agent 800km away). As long as they will trailer them if they fail, I’m comfortable. I don’t mind a trip to Bangkok every year or two for a service, a road-trip occasionally is fun. I have 30,000 baht charging credit to use in the next 2 years so I need to start thinking about road trips.

I’m interested in what EV’s come from China in the large luxury type category, I think we’ll see something, maybe Honqi or BYD’s premium brand in the next 3 years. I could be tempted by the Yang Wang U9 if BYD make it available at a similar price to China or the Xiaomi Porsche knock-off (SU7). It’s a very exciting time to be a motorist.

Google maps on the infotainment system has a very high resolution map, the position update is probably something to do with app permissions.

Looking at your prices @Bandersnatch, I would go for the MG4 X-Power, it's only a little bit more expensive than the Atto 3 extended now and it's always going to be sought after on the 2nd hand market.

Google maps works and loads for me, but it only gets my vehicle's location at load time, it doesn't seem to update my location as I'm driving.

I agree with you that a lot of the new entrants have unknown history, but you can't say that about the big boys BYD, Geely, SAIC/MG, Changan. These are all huge, well-established companies. I hear nothing of Chinese EV's with faulty batteries. I hear of thousands of abandoned Chinese EV's because the owners (rental companies etc) went bust, but faulty batteries is almost unheard of with Chinese EV's.

Out of your list, I would go for the Atto 3 although I would probably look for a 1 year old Seal or Atto, you'll probably find another Seal AWD for the same price as a new Atto. I'm also very fond of the MG4, I understand the D model now looks the same as the X with the rear spoiler.

Mine has been done at service too, I got GBox and a couple of my apps disappeared. I sill can't get ChargeLoma or PlugShare to work. I still have Aurora Store which I installed a long time ago, it is like a Google Play store so I can find almost any app and download/install it from Aurora.

Learning the Thai language is key. It's impolite to live here and expect to speak English, and a showstopper for many relationships. Get yourself to a language school. You'll also meet Thai girls learning English.

Correct me if I'm wrong, The differentials are :- One surgery was dental, the other plastic surgery The commonalities are :- Private Hospital Surgery Anesthetic Botched Operations Fatalities To my untrained eye, it seems there is quite a bit in common, wouldn't you agree?

So you know the timeline do you? Explain it please…

Good to know
