As the name says, E20 has 20% ethanol and what is not in the name: it is at least 95 octane (knock strength). 91 should have vanished from the market since long but they again stretched it for whatever reason. As I never use 91 I can only tell you that I need about 0.3l/100km more with E20 compared to 95. About 7.5 l/100km compared to 7.2l/100km. Currently it hardly pays to use E20 over 95 (only 1.5 Baht difference). (sorry you have to do US/UK math yourself, I am hardcore metric). Don't spend a thought on using 91 with a modern motor (high compression ratio). You just loose power. 91 is for lawn movers and scooters at best. But why go for it with this small price difference? Even son refused to use it for his brush cutter. Village "tank stop" has no 91 barrel. 91 octane has been abolished in most of Europe for more than 10 years.

Why can't posters not provide most basic info!? How many units? What cost? If cost/units is less than 4.5 Baht then all good.

Flooding Caused by Heavy Rain in North, Northeast
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I must have missed the worse 2010 floods. 2011 was the worst natural disaster in Thailand for decades. And of that I didn't miss a single day. -
35-year-old man collapses, dies in Pattaya area graveyard, cause unknown
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Have you noticed that this week (Tuesday?) was "wan phee" Don't ask me what it is really about but quite some action and preparation. Daughter AND wife went to the temple. Rare. -
It's not a Thai invention. But I don't claim to judge on this method. What I read more than once is, that Moderna is probably "overdosed". It's not the first time that a lower dose was suggested. Have fun with this: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210802/Intradermal-administration-of-low-dose-mRNA-COVID-19-vaccine-induces-strong-immune-response-study-finds.aspx

Foreign Exhange Rates
KhunBENQ replied to PaulDee's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I think it needs an explanation from the OP which kind of rates he is interested in. For the private user it's normally "bank buying cash" or the TT rate for incoming transfers. -
Foreign Exhange Rates
KhunBENQ replied to PaulDee's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
A while ago I put some of the rate sites in a bookmark folder so easy be opened with a single click. Currently I have: https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/View-Rates/Foreign-Exchange-Rates https://kasikornbank.com/en/rate/Pages/Foreign-Exchange.aspx https://exchangerate.krungthai.com/#/counterRate https://www.krungsri.com/en/exchangerate/Todayrates https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/foreign-exchange-rates.html For the newly formed "ttb" (ex TMB, Thanachart) I can't find it. -
Foreign Exhange Rates
KhunBENQ replied to PaulDee's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Unfortunately it's dead since quite long (months or more than a year?). It was neat for comparing the small but existing differences in bank note buying. But as above I do not miss it much now. I look at the midmarket/currency market rate at WISE or XE. E.g. now EUR/THB = 39.2168 And from that I have a good guess about the other rates. xe.com has very nice diagrams on the desktop website as well as the mobile website (from last 12h to last 10 years). Example: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=EUR&to=THB&view=1M You can slide the mouse over the diagram to see previous rates (peaks and lows etc.). -
An American Makita Charger in Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to HeijoshinCool's topic in The Electrical Forum
I have seen misc Makita chargers on the net with universal input like 100 to 260 V. But not sure whether they fit what is required here. Just search for: makita dc 18 rc -

Because for me it works flawlessly like a clockwork for more than two years now (first transaction January 2018). Same day or next day. Last transfer on Friday. Initiated from my WISE account at about 8:30 AM, in Bangkok Bank account 2 PM as always. But that's NOT from the US but from Euro zone.

CoViD-19 Programme: 90 Days Report Asked?
KhunBENQ replied to JaydenL's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Not to my knowledge. You report for staying longer than 90 days (first time or another 90 days). How you achieved to stay legally more than 90 days (one year visa, extension of whatever kind) is a completely different matter. -

KhunBENQ replied to VocalNeal's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
From the forum and not red. You probably refer to a deportation/reentry prohibited stamp? 2 days, 1000 Baht. -

NACC investigate Thaksin over losses at Thai Airways
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Of course. As pointed out the original article mixed it up. How blind can a writer be to assume 54 million Baht would buy multiple airbuses. Would buy one from the junkyard (without engines). Nothing to add to the embarrassing/laughable attempt to find a scapegoat for THAI incompetence. -
NACC investigate Thaksin over losses at Thai Airways
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
OH NO! Not again Thai journo proving their complete number blindness (or lost in translation). Later in the text the correct magnitude appears (53 billion), no proofread as always! -
I suggest you open a thread on this in the Covid forum: https://aseannow.com/forum/245-covid-19-coronavirus/ You got vaccinated in the USA. When did you last enter Thailand? With CoE?
