Surprised no reaction from BYD owners on this forum
josephbloggs replied to stratocaster's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Howe are you finding the transition? I left iPhones after the iPhone 4 and went Samsung. Was talked in to going back to Apple and got the 14 ProMax when it came out. Nothing but remorse. I mean it's not terrible but the Samsung just did all the little things better. Even after 18 months of use I only tolerate it - I'll never like it. I do love my Macbooks though - could never go back to PC. -
Keir Starmer’s EU Reset: A Strategy Built on Falsehoods
josephbloggs replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Scraping the barrel, even for you. He said "torpedoed" rather than "bombed". A misuse of a word. His uncle was on a ship in the Falklands that was attacked and sunk. It wasn't a torpedo though, it was bombed from the air. It was even in your "article". Only reading the headlines again Jonny? The Prime Minister's uncle was aboard the British frigate HMS Antelope which was sunk during the conflict to reclaim the islands. If he had made up the entire thing and his uncle wasn't on any ship that was sunk or wasn't involved in the war you would have a point. But his uncle was on a ship that was attacked and sunk. He is clearly not lying about his family's military service. As it stands you look desperate and pathetic really. Is that really all you've got? -
No one is booking a flight to have a meal. It's about improving their in-flight service which is a good thing. If you have two flights, equally priced, but one is served by an airline with great in-flight service and one is served by one with bad food, bad service, which one are you going to choose?

I don't think people are that precious - I have seen all the EV owners on here post the downsides such as they are. I spent close to 40k on an iPhone 14 ProMax about 18 months ago (I think). I still don't like it and wouldn't buy it again. -

Something popped up in my news feed this morning. The headline is: Toyota's portable hydrogen cartridges look like giant AA batteries – and could spell the end of lengthy EV charging I don't even bother clicking on them any more. -
What does the average British expat think of Tommy?
josephbloggs replied to Kinok Farang's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If he wasn't a massive hypocrite and a coward who only wants your donations to line his own pockets then more people might listen. As it is he's just a dog whistler and he knows who he's playing up to, but cha ching, the donations keep rolling in - I mean someone has to pay for his 5 star holidays and luxury accommodations. -
Yes, Mrs Wrap. 4th floor (departures), there is one at almost every entrance. I believe 250 baht per item. Not sure if they do bubble wrap as I have never used them, but they definitely do plastic wraps. https://thaiest.com/blog/baggage-wrapping-bangkok-airport

Agree with everything. The Ioniq N is so much more than a "fast in a straight line" EV, it drifts, it is track focused, and (supposedly) it is immense fun. The fake gears, fake rev limiters, and fake noise sounds like it should be horrendous but anyone who has actually reviewed it says it is brilliant - just a ton of fun. I'm not spending 3.8m baht on one for sure, but it does sound like an absolute riot. -

Woah, 3.8m!!!!! Wow. They have no chance of selling any at that price. Seal is the way forward. Shame as I prefer the looks of the Ioniq over the Seal although I think the Seal is a very good looking car. But that is crazy pricing. -

I really like the Ioniq 5 too - such a great looking car. Seen a handful on the roads. I wonder how much the "N" version will cost when/if they release it here. For sure will be way more than any performance BYD. But it is very very cool. -
Macron Warns EU Could Face Collapse Without Urgent Reforms

My eyes hurt. -
You're wrong. Nearly every brand sells their own certified used cars that come with finance and warranties. Not only Toyota and BMW, but Honda, Mercedes, Volvo, Nissan, and MG have them nationwide. Ford, Isuzu and Mitsubishi also sell them but through local dealers.

Here comes the bundle of positivity and joy that is steven100. Seriously why do you bother? You pop up on nearly every thread with the most depressing, negative, unwarranted bitter nonsense. I just don't understand what motivates you.

The best toasted ham and cheese Panino sandwich in Bangkok?
josephbloggs replied to FriscoKid's topic in Bangkok
Bartels is fantastic - their sourdough is the best I have ever had, anywhere. Never tried a toastie there though but I am sure they are good because in general their sandwiches are superb. Sourced Grocers in The Commons Thonglor do amazing toasted ham and cheese toasties. A few different cheeses to choose from, all sliced from a big block. Really good. They are also a deli so you can buy cheese to take home. -

Supercar convoy causes major delays on M6 motorway (video)

Why? On what basis? Jealousy, or some other logic? -
Supercar convoy causes major delays on M6 motorway (video)
josephbloggs replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Lots of bitter comments like this. It was clearly a film shoot which is why the police stopped anyone from passing, A normal "VIP" convoy is done in one lane and people can still pass. After five minutes (once the take was complete) they all pulled over to the side of the road to let people pass. Even the annoying voiced lady in the video saw the camera car at the end and said 'Oh, it is being filmed. Ok." To do that kind of shoot you need permissions/permits arranged in advance, you need police and you need to pay for it. And they generally do it in rolling blocks as they do in this video. We have done car shoots all over the country, shutting down expressways. The police will block for a take then you let the public through then when the police deem it safe they'll block the traffic and you can go again. If you don't get permission you can't do it. It's really a nothing story, a few minutes of inconvenience and frustration (5-6 minutes), then the blockage is gone and you're on your way. They also generally do these on Sundays when the roads are quietest and there will be less disruption for the public. I would have been annoyed to have been stuck too but after I few minutes I would have been over it and I also would have enjoyed driving past that long line of supercars and admiring the view. Anyway, back to rich Thai bashing, the floor is open.
