I guess there will soon be another App. There is a car behind you! That message will show up on the screen, and all the people who look at their screens and not around will be notified. This should be a joke, but I am pretty sure it will happen.

No, it shouldn't. But we can be pretty sure it would have been ignored, maybe after paying a little tea-money, if that doctor wouldn't have complained. Thailand has lots of laws. And it seems often many of those laws are ignored and not enforced. Until the moment someone decides that one person is a target. And then suddenly everybody remembers all things which they ignored all the time. TiT.

I guess the good news is that (almost?) any other car ICE car has a better range than most BEVs.

Looking is a good idea. But you can hear a lot of things which you can't see. You can hear noise behind you. You can hear noise in the dark or behind obstacles. The good thing is that we have several senses. We can use them all.

For anybody who plans a renovation or building a house it's a good idea to go there.

I wouldn't like it. And anybody who kicks anybody else should be punished. But looking at the typical punishments in Thailand, you would expect 100B or maybe 1,000B fine - if a Thai would have done the same. Yes, he kicked her, but as far as I know she didn't have any broken bones and she was not admitted to a hospital. I think it's a little scary to see how one little incident has as a result that a foreigner will have to leave Thailand, probably forever. That reminds me that sometimes I honk my horn at some idiot drivers. What will happen if maybe next time I do that and some hiso is nearby and she is shocked by my behavior and complains. Will my visa be revoked and then I have to go? Or will the police just tell me I have to pay a million THB or else? IMHO the threshold for "go and never come back" seems to be a little low.

And the someone was not just someone. And the someone reported him. And the police took it serious. It wasn't his lucky day.

Ok, great, so you are not guilty. We eliminated 1. I am also not guilty. But did you ever hear about any Thai people doing those things? It seems to happen all the time.

The headline and the first sentence of the article don't match.

I won't miss him when he will leave Thailand. But I wonder how many other people in Thailand every kicked another person and own a gun and ignored an ambulance. Many! And I am sure many well-known people. And nobody cares.

I remember another article where the driver of an EV wanted to get out of his car. But he couldn't, because the electric system had locked the doors. That doesn't mean that all EVs are bad all the time. But obviously there are lots of problems which happen from time to time. And because it's all electric and all computerized there are lots of things which can go wrong. And then there are the fixes, remotely installed updates. I wait for the day where some hackers hack that system and install some special updates like swapping the gas pedal with the brake pedal or little jokes like that. We can be pretty sure it will happen. The question is only how fast and what impact it will have.

What a hilarious article. LGBTQ? Where were the L, G, B, and Q? Only the T were fighting with each other. T fighting against T. There was no unity from the LGBQ. And there was no unity inside the T group. How about writing accurate articles and not just making up some unity which isn't there?

Next, he was seen jaywalking weeks ago. Deport this dangerous individual right away so that Thailand is safe again! 😉

Really? Try to take your own cart to the street where other vendors are present. They will explain to you very quickly that above is not true. It will never happen that there won't be street vendors. There is just too much money to be made for all those influential people.

Dear Bob GO!

The engine won't catch fire. The battery is the problem. And the fire is not just like any other fire. It can't be extinguished the conventional way.

Real women or does that include the blokes, like in Soi 11, who identify as women?

In the above video the guy clearly makes a difference between the different types of EVs. Electric motors are fine. Heavy batteries which take a long time to charge and their fire risk is a big problem. But there are also vehicles with electric engine and fuel cells. That is, IMHO, not such a bad idea. I will take time to develop different technologies and time will tell which are good in which situations. The stupid "now we all have to have only EVs by 20xx" is the stupid part - thanks to many politicians and all those annoying activists.

Thailand is just fine.

Not just the Thai PM. I find it sad that now so much is in the news all the time about climate change or emergency and EVs and all that, but nobody wants to see the problems with all that. I am not against new technologies, in fact I like that people invent all the time new things. But we should look at reality, not wishful thinking and virtue signaling.

It would be interesting to read about the average damage done to the surrounding, and how long it took to extinguish/remove the fire.

The available options are too limited. How far should we try to integrate? Do we have to discuss lottery numbers and believe in ghosts? Or can we skip some of those traits? Personally, I think it's good to be able to live and work together with Thais and at the same time don't deny that we are different in many ways. How can we not be different when we grew up in a society which is very different from Thailand? And I think we are in the wonderful situation that we can integrate in some ways which we like, but we don't have to integrate in other ways which we don't like. I.e. we can learn to communicate in Thai and understand their culture. And, at the same time, we can stay outside of their hierarchy.

In case you want to buy one maybe have a look at the following video - and maybe think again. This is just one of many videos from people who are not so excited about EVs - and not just one sided.

Yeah, sure. People come not only because of the temples but also because of the beaches. That's also what I told my neighbors when I travelled the first time to Thailand.

Great Maybe as a next step they should taking offences committed by Thais, like taxi drivers, seriously. Maybe then the tourists would also trust the Phuket authorities.
