  1. The ICE version of the ZS only got ~14 kpL. so 6L isn't off by much. Surprised RD6 having quite a bit more battery, but not kms gained. 500 kg heavier but once rolling, especially on open road, would hope to get more range. The slow NEDC test speed, and stop & go drive of a heavier vehicle could explain the lower range rating. One would hope anyway. NEDC (Not Even Damn Close) is maybe possible, driving slow, knocking around town. The ZS rated at 403, is rare we actually get that, though have, and even exceeded it a few time, but I'm driving slow, and a bit of regen going on. We usually get a solid 350-360 knocking around town in 'ECO' mode, which is mixed 30-60-90 kph. On the highway at 90 kph, when we can maintain it, we'll exceed WLTP rating of 320 kms consistently. Get more kms than that, as regen kicking in, since usually can't maintain 90 kph for long stretches in TH. Not exactly the best 'inter-province' roads, as too much cross traffic & trucks at times. Highway range is actually impressive, sort of, as WLTP testing averages a speed of 47 kph, while NEDC testing averages a speed of 37 kph. You really don't start losing range, unless doing 100-120 kph, which you'll get 300 kms, with the ZS. Not many roads allow for long stretches of 90+ kph. So a non issue. BKK to Patts, but so close you wouldn't have to charge anyway, before getting there. T21 Asoke to T21 Patts is <150 kms. When we go PKK to BKK, there's only a few stretches signed @ 120 kph, which I usually don't exceed 110 anyway. Over the road, when O&A, we average about 80 kph, per leg, if lucky, so that's 3+ hrs before we stop to stretch, P, munch, and charge while doing so. That's a good size reserve, as still about 25-30% of battery left. 35-45 mins, and we back to 90-95%.
  2. Lazy, hot, crap weather meal ...
  3. Yes, pan surface is irrelevant, unless wanting a bit more iron in your diet, than the cast iron 'might' provide a wee bit 🙄 I use cast iron for most meat searing, except Salmon & Crispy Pork Belly, they go in the Air Fryer. Have SS, but really don't care for it, though pretty sure it's just the design of my frying pan, having a high center, instead of flat. Use the other SS pans. Had a nice (at the time / new) carbon steel fry pan, and was great the first few times used. Now it's a POS, and no longer non stick.
  4. Child's Play & Final Destination, if haven't seen yet 👍👍 Assuming most saw Psycho & Elm St already.
  5. Not enough of any of those gases in the atmosphere to be concerned about. Simply scare tactics to raise taxes, and distraction from real issues. "Planet-warming pollution has surged to unprecedented levels, with carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide concentrations in Earth's atmosphere reaching all-time highs"
  6. I was think Norman Whitfield or Barrett Strong. IF, still alive
  7. Then you need to go have your eyes check, as BKK is packed with tourist, and TBH, I stopped reading when I got to that part. I live rural in TH, and have for 24 yrs, so I'm fairly tuned in to the locals and their lifestyle. But get O&A enough to know, plenty of tourist in BKK, since we visit our daughter there quite often.
  8. Next toy, if & when it comes to TH 😎 Especially if close to suggested prices $600-$1000 Pricing their stand up scooters, (Nine Bot), I doubt very much if the Xiaomi in OP will be even close to $1000 / ฿34k as their little stand ups cost that much, and very low spec'd.
  9. Happens, yes, no doubt ... ... but surely not normal, and something is causing. OP doesn't offer much info. Past relationship, or present 'type' of relationship/encounters. Just a thought, using myself, but a good part of the 'excitement' is the challenge of meeting like minded, verbal & visual engagement and anticipation of, well before any sex. If op is simply a P4P customer, that wouldn't work for me either, especially if just ST or happy massages .... BORING in my world. Did have a week long rental on first visit to TH, and that was fun. But can't see the excitement in ... 'Hi ... how much ... OK ... bye' .... BORING Wouldn't do much foe me either, not worth the lack of effort or cost
  10. " I was told. Not many tourist at all. " ... I think someone needs to talk to different people, or at least, open ones eyes. Leave the expat ghetto, and hop on the BTS/MRT, and maybe pop into some of the malls and markets. On Nut ...
  11. Oh yea ... don't forge them youngins, trying to buy their 1st house ... Housing cost ...
  12. From deplorable to garbage ... and Trump is the bigot I'm sure he has a lot of PR friends ... ... PR demographics for DE - wiki Quite a bit actually, relative, though far from most populous state of: Actually impress he managed to talk for 49 seconds and didn't stumble, Might be a record for him ...
  13. More taxes will solve everything ... ... and the band played on
  14. Cook book & cooking show to wind down the years 😎
  15. Is this not something that is done every year anyway, supposedly ? Inspected, insured, tax paid. All vehicles spewing out black smoke should be pulled over, fined & 'tagged' removed from the road and not allowed to proceed till serviced. Problem solved
  16. OP, might want to go see a doc, as 50 is way to young to be having that problem.
  17. Riddara RD6 2WD 63kWh ... NEDC 373 kms ???? MG ZS 50.3 (46.3 kWh usable) ... NEDC 403 kms 20-25% more battery capacity ... but What up with that ? They don't test pick ups w/loads do they ? Curb wt. ZS 1570 / RD6 2,065 kg ... "The 2WD model is equipped with a 200 kW (292 PS) electric motor with a maximum torque of 385 Nm, sending power to the rear wheels. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 7.3 seconds, top speed 185 km/h. There are 3 driving modes: Economy, Comfort and Sport. The battery is a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) type with a capacity of 63 kWh, driving a maximum distance of 373 km per full charge, and a capacity of 73 kW increases the maximum driving range to 461 km (according to the NEDC standard)."
  18. If it's not cold enough to produce snow, I can't call it winter Damn GW ... "This season is anticipated to be colder than last year, "
  19. Thanks, now I can avoid another silly 'what if' the world ends threads. Seems someone doesn't realize where the Gulf of Thailand is @Old Curmudgeon
  20. Usual scrambled eggs, and the chicken GODS were shining on me, 2 double yolkers. Finally polished off that meatloaf.
  21. And yet, our travel times have been very consistent, over the past 22 years. Timing of course is everything, as is everywhere worldwide when going to, from, or through a metro area. Rarely do they fluctuate more the 30 minutes, between Bangkok and Muang, PKK, the past 7 ish years. Northbound to Udon Thani has gotten considerably longer, time wise. Southbound out of BKK hasn't changed much at all. Again ... timing. No matter where you travels, just use Gmaps, and it will usually do a good job to get you there. Times are fairly accurate I find. Be flexible and enjoy your journey.
