Pick up Truck Valuation
I think 440k is a tad optimistic. At this moment there are four 2025 MG Extenders for sale on one2car with asking prices between 329k and 399k. 2024 models can be had for as low as 275k. The extras might help your truck being more attractive and easier to sell, but extras seldom result in a higher sale price. That is especially the case for cars/trucks in the lower price ranges.

Yes, our local Makro recently got a few of these and also installed chargers (only for charging Makro vehicles).

Is there anywhere (paid) to park my car while on a trip abroad?
Well, an option would be to go by both taxi and car. You could go by car alone or with one or two people and some luggage, and the rest of your party could go by taxi.

If you are aggregating Geely's different brands, then you would also have to add the 356 Denzas booked to BYD's total, which would again put BYD above Geely. But then again, you could argue that the Wuling bookings should partially/wholly be added to Geely's numbers, since Geely is part owner of Wuling. Deepal and Avatr is also part of the same group (Changan).

Getting Work permit on retirement extension ..
No, he specifically said that your friend has to leave the country; After changing his status from retirement extension to visa exempt by leaving Thailand and reentering, then he can get a Non-B from Immigration, if he has the necessary paperwork.

Big C promotions
He is referring to the fact that Carrefour's shops were taken over by Big C, not Tesco/Lotus.

Insurance renewal declined.
If wife is mentioned as main driver, Roojai will require you to upload photo of her driver's license. At least that was required of us when renewing insurance earlier this year.

Dermatologist in Chiang Mai
A final update. The plastic surgeon Dr. Pinchai did the surgery two weeks ago. He removed a 3.5 cm long and 1 cm wide strip of skin to make sure he got both lesions plus safety margins. Subsequent pathology report from the lab confirmed the initial diagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma, and also confirmed that the lesions had been removed with clean margins. I found the cost more than reasonable, especially since plastic surgeons normally charge more than other surgeons. Total cost was Baht 10,000 which included: Initial consultation, Surgery, Follow up visit two days after surgery to check for infection, Another follow up visit after one week to remove the sutures. A final visit after 12 days to check healing and explain pathology report, Lab pathology cost The wound has healed well, and there have been no sign of infection. The skin on both sides of the incision is still quite red/purple because of the stretching of the skin to cover for the part that was removed, but that should disappear with time.

Officially it still is, they never changed the price. I guess that way their special offers sounds more enticing:

DEYE Inverter Contact in Cn
When a seller sent me a different model than what I ordered, I contacted this email address to ask about the differences between the two models: market[at]deye.com.cn They replied quickly (within hours) from this email address: xiongqian[at]deye.com.cn We didn't really get into the details, as I had already found the answer to my questions and returned the incorrect model.

Dermatologist in Chiang Mai
The biopsy lab report confirmed Dr. Vachiraporns diagnosis of three basal cell carcinoma lesions. The one on my forehead had been completely removed by the biopsy, but the two on my nose will require surgery. Because of the location, she referred me to a plastic surgeon Dr. Opart Pinchai. Had my first consultation with Dr. Pinchai on Sunday. Normal procedure is to surgically remove the carcinoma lesions with a 4 mm margin, to make sure that all the cancer cells has been removed. However, because of the limited amount of skin on the nose this would require a skin graft. Instead he suggested a narrow margin surgery, where you limit the margins to only 1-2 mm, and send the removed tissue to the lab for analysis. If it turns out that you don't have clean margins, then a second surgery is required to trim a little further. I have an appointment with him for the surgery next Sunday.

GBP....Transfering from 1 FCA to another FCA
Because that's the only way to transfer foreign currency between two separate banks. The domestic clearing systems are only built to handle Thai Baht.

Baht Surge Linked to 500bn Baht Money-Laundering Inflows
In order for "the elites" to spend/invest money abroad, they would need to exchange Baht for Euro/USD/etc., which would weaken the Baht not strengthen it.

Bangkok Bank/iBanking No New Applications
No, neither I or the poster I replied to were talking about the mobile app. Krungsri Bank today has three options for internet banking: Web browser based for private people Web browser based for businesses Mobile app. Krungsri Bank are closing the web based option for private people, but allowing us to sign up for the business solution. I used to have the mobile app and the browser based solution for private people. Now I have the app and the web browser based solution for businesses (which is now available for everyone but still called Krungsri Biz online).

90 day report problem - how much longer dare I wait?
Immigration is not going to update their system on the basis of some photocopies you have enclosed with your 90 day report. You have to attend in person with both your passports and request a transfer of stamps, and Immigration will then transfer the pertinent information from your old passport to the new one. In my opinion, enclosing copies of your new passport with your report was a mistake. I think there is a good chance they will reject your 90 day report, because you now have a new passport and the old one is no longer valid and you haven't yet done the required transfer of stamps.

Dermatologist in Chiang Mai
Had my appointment with dr. Vachiraporn this morning. I came away impressed by her professionalism and competence. Excellent English ability as well, not surprising given her stay in Boston. Her initial diagnosis was basal cell carcinoma, and she did a total of three biopsies; the small wound on my nose mentioned in the OP, a second smaller and more recent but very similar spot close to the first one, and a third spot on my forehead. She also froze another pre-cancerous spot on my forehead. Total cost so far Baht 8,550 including some antibiotic cream for an infected cyst on my shoulder. The results of the biopsies will be ready in a weeks time, and if it turns out (most likely) that the l cell carcinomas has to be removed, she will refer me to a plastic surgeon. Because of the location on the bridge of my nose, she will not do it herself.

Traffic police records also show the most common violations among youth riders: • Not wearing helmets – 24.6% • No licence – 20.6% • Modifying or tampering with motorcycles – 18.2% • Speeding – 12.9% • General traffic violations – 11.4% • No licence plates – 10.2% • Drink-driving – 2.2% Total (adding all above): 100.1% These numbers do not claim to show how large of a percentage of youths drive without wearing helmets, without a license etc. They show the distribution of fines issued for different types of violations.
