  1. It's not just the colours on the dolphin (pink, purple and cream) but the shape of the car is not very sporty at all. I like red cars but that isn't available on the dolphin. Grey is the only colour available that looks alright but I much prefer the look of the MG 4.
  2. I think the answer depends on your gender....I mean look at the choice of colours on the Dolphin for a start.
  3. It may be a lot cheaper but the yellow line is a joke compared to the Elizabeth line: "The Elizabeth line, which in total serves 41 stations running 100km east to west across the city through 42km of new tunnels, includes 10 new central London stations and the upgrading of 31 existing stations." Whereas the yellow line is just a 30km monorail. The reason it's so cheap is because they built it above ground (using cheap migrant labour) to unleash the ongoing traffic nightmare and eyesore monstrous concrete stations. The pink line is the same and delayed even more.
  4. I had to use cash yesterday as the Thai banking network still always crashes on payday in the evening.
  5. And here I thought monks weren't allowed to drive ????
  6. Ironically Thailand has a very strict blood alcohol limit. She wouldn't have been over the limit in the UK or USA (both 80mg).
  7. I had the opposite experience with doctor Umaphorn about 5 years ago. She was unfriendly, didn't even give me a physical examination and said I couldn't possibly have prostatitis because I didn't have any pain in my prostate, I only had pain in my urethra. I think she told me to see a neurologist, prescribed gabapentin and I never saw her again. Since then I've seen many urologists and they all agree it's chronic prostatitis but it hasn't responded to any antibiotic treatment. I'll have to give fosfomycin a try soon.
  8. I see kids at school shovelling junk food down their throats all day long while many of them are overweight and quite a few obese. And the idiot in charge thinks the biggest threat to kid's health is from covid...
  9. "Namthip’s inability to flee from the charging elephant due to her large stature was considered a contributing factor to the fatal incident, reports Sanook." Sounds like she was obese (as are many Thais these days). RIP but she might have survived if she was in better shape. "According to task force officials, the victim had called for assistance in pushing the elephants out of the plantation." Also the incident could have been entirely avoided if they had simply left those elephants alone...
  10. I think Chinese engineers know what they are doing when it comes to manufacturing. https://en.pingwest.com/a/11205
  11. * Removed post edited out * I guess the problem with Japanese cars is they are made in Thailand... I would prefer a car made in China personally.
  12. The hot weather has just made the rip-off unit price more noticeable. The problem is Thailand has a massive oversupply of electricity of 50-60% and private power companies are making billions for being "available" to produce electricity that nobody uses or needs. Meanwhile the government keeps signing new contracts with private companies to construct new power stations...so who's fault is that?
  13. Not counting buses, 2000/50 is 40 baht a trip assuming you use all 50. Don't think it will save most people any money.
  14. The only thing putting me off the MG 4 is the low ground clearance. I don't think it would cope well with Bangkok's flooding in the rainy season. Ground clearance unladen / laden (mm) 150 / 117
  15. I have been eyeing the MG 4 EV but my old Toyota Soluna is just too reliable to even consider upgrading right now.
  16. Sounds like BTSC are allegedly happy to quietly benefit from corruption but will squeal loudly and file lawsuits when it doesn't go their way (orange line).
  17. Do you have a link? I can only see 12L for 78 baht. Singha online
  18. Sounds like a good idea to remove them...only a matter of time until one of them falls and kills someone.
  19. Can you choose the address they post it to or do they only send it to the address the car is registered at? I haven't updated my car registration address for years as I can't be bothered with the mountains of paperwork they probably require to update it...along with the chaos at Chatuchak DLT.
  20. They also have a router for sale with the 1 year SIM card.
