The top gear review of the dolphin isn't very favourable either (with some caveats) and they gave the MG 4 a 9/10. https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/dolphin/first-drive

I just looked up the charging stations at my local Central on PlugShare and it seems quite expensive: On-ion, Pile E12-G12, 60 THB/hr, 7kw 60THB/hr, fractional will be counted as full hour

Phuket’s Leap Into Tomorrow: The Smart City Paradigm
matchar replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Is this satire? ???? -
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.

I think the answer depends on your gender....I mean look at the choice of colours on the Dolphin for a start.

Free rides on Bangkok’s Yellow Line monorail during June trial
matchar replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
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. -
The demise of the village ATM.

I had to use cash yesterday as the Thai banking network still always crashes on payday in the evening. -
And here I thought monks weren't allowed to drive ????

Future MFP MP arrested for drink driving in Bangkok

Ironically Thailand has a very strict blood alcohol limit. She wouldn't have been over the limit in the UK or USA (both 80mg). -
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.

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...

"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...

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?

Bangkok Introduces Monthly Pass for Bus and Red Line Rides
matchar replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
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. -
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

Advice sought on best small hatchbacks/cars

I have been eyeing the MG 4 EV but my old Toyota Soluna is just too reliable to even consider upgrading right now. -
