And Bangkok isn't? Quite a few electric cars plying the Bangkok streets nowadays.

There seems to never be any on Klang these days, to get to and from Big-CX, there used to be. My thought is it is to let the taxis and M/C guys get the business. I always wondered why one doesn't see them on 3rd Rd. Can't argue that they create traffic issues if one rides a bike down Buakhao now and again.

Certainly not in my experience.

Not the first time that has been suggested....much of it started as a marsh!

Impending drought? We have had about 2-3 weeks of very regular warnings of heavy rain and thunderstorms... and it was actually correct yesterday in the Pattaya area....I really don't know what to expect.

Perhaps get a golf cart for her.

I believe the most problems are within Pattaya and the outskirts....not so bad on a country-wide status. Although the Rd into my Mrs village in Issarn is also atrocious and never known it different for 15 years.

You are off topic yet again.... talk about not knowing when to shut up! Sorry I made you look foolish... but no need to compound it.

I still recall how great it was after the 1st lockdown when things reopened for a while and there were still loads of girls about, but no tourists... cracking time to be an Expat!

Yes, usually the 2am was when the fights started.

He may well reportedly be in ICU... but more a case of 'I don't see you!'

That is easier said than done...... I say to those wishing to party all night, YOU go elsewhere! Not sure the year has a lot to do with it, you may not yet have noticed but life and crime is not improving as time passes..... maybe time to take a review of the issues.

The solid filters can be washed, so having 2 or 3 and replacing them works well. As you may have learned, clean the top where the O-ring goes, use a dab of silicone grease and be careful not to cross thread the bottom as you replace it.

Do they need to be replaced? Sometimes there seems to be too many of them and they drive around near empty. Along with samlors and handcarts they create the problem. Pattaya is choking on it's own traffic problems, very apparent yesterday, a long holiday weekend with rain.

Well that gets the 'off topic post of the week' prize.

I have no problem with that sentiment.. I am not an American and am often dismayed at some of my own country's decisions whereby they tag along with the USA. The topic is about Srettha, Putin and Thailand, and the inviting of Putin, of all people, to come visit Thailand, was politically naive. Nor is it 'leaving him where he is', it is validating his actions.

Any similar reasoning wrt these European countries giving Thais Visa free access to their countries?

Yes I did. World is full of such disputes, at this time I am living in Thailand and on a Thailand centric forum..... How is it you see those issues and bandy them around and have yet missed the Russian invasion and bombing of Ukraine?

I am sure it has been considered... not as lucrative as Suez or Panama where unloading is not required. I read it saves but a few days sailing which supports your perspective (for me anyhow). It might well be something else sold to us all on a green and environmental platform.

I am sure if not, they only have to ask. The police seem to get to Bank account information quite readily too.

Your examples failed. They are very very different! I 'single out' Thailand as this is a Thailand centric forum, and a topic about the Thai leader..... also the country I live in, get with the program! I have made no error, but carry on bringing up Saudia Arabia and Yemen as if relevant! Your use of ad hominem attack shows you are struggling!

Again, if you think Biden, and his actions compare to Putin, and his, you should worry less of my standards.

The condition of the road surfaces deters me from using the motorcycle a lot these days. It's near impossible to avoid every pothole or oversized dip that jars ones back and makes a broken wheel bearing a possible result. I particularly have issues on the Railway Line Bypass heading South from Hwy 36, which was dug up for drainage pipes and the resulting resurfacing an absolute disgrace. As said, I don't understand how low-riding sports cars manage, my Hi-Rider gets some decent jolts!

Nothing to do with COG, it was slightly overloaded and had a mechanical failure of the the elevator control cable. If you are going to supply links, read them and make them applicable!
