Are you thinking of buying a BYD EV?
KhunLA replied to DUNROAMIN's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Staggering #s, but the #s don't lie. Now someone tell me again, how much more expensive EVs are ???? 14 kms per L/91 @ ฿40.5 baht today. 20k ÷ 14 kms = L X ฿40.5 = ฿57,857.14 X 8 yrs = ฿462,857 -

Paying a bit more attention, too much actually, but noticed once over 85%, then it's about 1% added, every minute, then at 90%, that time increases, till about 95%. Then it's 2 minutes per %, till 98%, then it way too long, as the MG ZS stated, another 20 minutes till topped & cells balanced. Needless to say, we didn't wait. -
The difficulty of avoiding sugar in Thailand.
KhunLA replied to Felton Jarvis's topic in Eastern Thailand
Just saw this vid, Dr Berg & sugar (keto advert in bad disguise), but, @1:20, states most folks in USA, eat 26 tsp of sugar a day ???? I now put 1 tsp in my coffee, and pretty much the only table/white sugar I use all day. Get some sugar in my blueberries & raisins, with my morning cereal. The corn flakes have about 1% of sugar, since 98.6 is supposed to be corn. Unless having pastry or ice cream during the day, I think that's about it for table/white or processed sugar. -

@Celsius If you put 20k kms on a year, we calculated we'll probably save over 460k baht, just on petrol cost, with our EV. That's an accurate cost of MG ZS ICE version (we owned), vs our EV version, we own now. Doesn't even include the oil changes (10k) & tune ups. -
Just one large advert, as all reachable from Phuket. I wouldn't make a special trip, or even if in the neighborhood, for any of them. We just drove by the turn to Phuket today, went to Khao Lak instead.

You'd have to be an idiot, to run out of petrol or battery today. MG ZS EV gives an audio warning @ 30% & 20%, along with ding & idiot warning light. Don't know about 10%, as have only gone down to 12%. You should still have at least 65 kms to go @ 20%

Haven't had COVID jabs or flu shots and can't remember when I was sick last time.

That's a bit of a price difference; Neta V 549k MG4 769k now, but without few perks since price drop. One would hope for better specs for 220k more. Both very nice.

that 'or' should be 'of' 'TH still has about 35% or primary forest'

Tracking her partner's Gmap timeline ... ???? It wasn't me, a friend borrowed my phone

I've seen plenty of storks, though not many varieties. Open Billed & Painted mostly. so many I can't even fit them into the shot

Obviously you need to get far away from people & development. Even on trails, if worn, isn't going to have much wildlife...that you are going to notice or see. They're catching leopards & tigers at parks on cameras, and how many of them are in country. I see plenty of birds, and spotted otters while sitting riverside in busy areas, (KiriWong Village). Pretty sure I've seen mongoose or similar body (not otter) crossing road, and not in the wild, NaDi, Udon Thani. Seen more snakes than I want to, like yesterday, walking dog ???? I've actually seen peacock & pangolin out in the village areas, only one each, but really surprising. Go out in the more nature areas, and at night you'll hear the monkeys, orangutan howling or whatever they do. Lots of different animals out there that you hear & see, not like the ones on Soi 4, Soi 6, Soi Cowboy, Soi Patong or Bangla Rd

Definitely a waterfowl, and with those big A$$ feet, Ms Google lens is telling me 'White-breasted Waterhen', and I'd go with that. Also needs to get put back, as Mama will be looking for it. https://ebird.org/species/whbwat1

@Franck60 not just bird; https://www.thainationalparks.com/list-of-birds-of-thailand

TH is suppose to have 1071 - 1101 different birds. I've photographed over 165, probably closer to 180, if I paid attention to the different species, as the variance can be quite subtle. I can't be bothered peeking that much at them. I don't exactly go looking for them on foot much, and never more than 100 meters from car or where ever; house or hotel that I'm at. Lucky enough to get one rare bird, not recorded before in our area. And I don't have a photo of it, it never happened.

Charging time, and this will very, different cars, chargers/cable, and supply. Also if car off, or if sitting in with AC and or lights on. The top half, slower part, 80% - 100% has topped up before 15-20 mins, when we're not in it. -
Just add more grounds, though happy with what I'm getting, and without the possible higher LDLs. Get enough of those with my pastries.
-
TH still has about 35% or primary forest, EU/Europe, I think, less than 5%. Obviously not cold weather critters, lots of snakes, more than a few venomous.

I'm back to using French press again, always use a filter, after, as don't want cafestol, and because my grinder has 1 setting ???? fine. Not what you want for French press as the screen isn't fine enough. Even get the best yield with the press

Certainly didn't cut petrol 91, as saw it from 40.19 to 41.59 today.???? It was 39.5 the other day, and 38.5 late time I notice ... this month.
