Lets assume for a moment the cost of living would be the same in Thailand and "home". Would you prefer to be "home"? For me the cold weather, ugly women and all those restrictions back home are reason enough to avoid it. I wouldn't want to live there even if would make a lot more money over there.

I think it is amazing that some people think a place will never change. Like: I liked it how it was 20 years ago and I don't want that anything changes. But there is one little problem. 20 years ago we were 20 years younger. We also changed, like the people and the country around us. Obviously it's good to stay open minded and from time to time to evaluate if what we do is really what we want to do. And if there are better opportunities somewhere else then maybe lets move somewhere else. But everything changes constantly. It's up to us to adopt. And going back to a place which maybe we left 20 years ago hoping it will be like the place which we left 20 years ago is unrealistic.

Do you want to tell us why you prefer the European girl? Personally it happens extreme seldom to me that I find an European girl attractive. And it seems (I guess) at least 90% of the farangs here prefer an Asian girls.

And how many different model of batteries provide these 3 companies? I am sure many many different models - and for a reason.

The problem with EV batteries is that they are BIG. And I am sure lots of different cars look different from below. It will be difficult to design a couple of batteries which can be used by many different car models. And in the moment the car battery technology is still evolving a lot. Standard batteries will be old technology in a year or two and innovative companies sure will want to use the newest technologies. Maybe in 20 years...

Sounds good. I guess what is good about the nobody LoSo is that they can have fun, misbehave, do whatever they want and nobody cares. I guess many HiSos have to be careful what they do and where and with whom. Lots of (self made) restrictions.

I hope they will install some speakers outside on those vehicles. Now it happens sometimes that one of those quiet stealthy EV drives next to me and I had no idea it was coming.

It can be charged, the question is how fast. If people have a "normal" electric vehicle and leave it the whole night in their garage and charge it the whole night that is fine. But it's often not fine anymore if they don't have the whole night, or two cars, or one or more powerful electric cars. Then houses need higher rated power supplies. And if that happens with too many houses in the same area then the district needs stronger cables, and and and. The scale is the big problem.

Sounds like a good idea. Except how many different battery models will all those cars have? Looking now at mobile phones and how many different battery models they use gives us a good idea how that will work...

They will walk over to the lottery ticket vendors and discuss the numbers with all the others.

It looks like she wants to shower that car.

So it seems those businesses concentrate on the 90+ % of people in Thailand who use fb and LINE but they won't get business from you. Do you think they care about you and the remaining < 10%?

I definitely like pretty girls. But politicians should be competent and honest first. I don't mind if they are ugly or gay or whatever if they do a god job.

I had a friend who owned a bar with that name in Soi 33. Is there some connection which I should be aware of?

Interesting. From what I hear I don't think I would be interested in a HiSo (and she also not in me). But it would be interesting to read from you why you did what you did? Was the HiSi to LoSo just an accident? Or do you think that in general most guys would be happier with LoSo (sorry, I don't know a better term for not-HiSo).?

I think it's best to concentrate on the important gf/wife properties. I don't expect to have a conversation about international politics or rocket science or home automation or climate change and many other topics with my gf. I like to cuddle with her, let her prepare good food, go out and have a good time, play some pool and some of that f activity. I can do lot of the talking with other people. I can do hobbies with other people. There will never be just one person in my life who should be the perfect person in every way. Let's concentrate on gf properties for the gf. All the other things can be done with other people.

Sorry, I didn't read all of it. But it seems you were unhappy and you tried to make a change for more happiness and that didn't work out the way you expected. Fine. You tried. I think it is a lot better to try something new and learn from that compared to always doing the same and dreaming abut what could have been and sometime later in life asking questions like: what would life have been over there?

Often YouTube has lots of HowTo videos. My advise it learn one thing after the other when you really want to use it. I.e. if you want to scan documents then learn that one. And maybe another day about online banking. And another day about online shopping. After a while you will know a lot and the more you know the easier you will learn new things. Take it easy, don't rush.

Imagine they would vote for honest and competent politicians. But I guess we shouldn't expect too much.

It's always amusing when newbies know everything better. Did you live in Thailand while Thaksin and his cronies were in charge? And where does your information come from that the generals are tenfold worse? Hearsay? Thaksin's PR? Talk in the red village? I lived here all the time from the time before Thaksin was in charge, while he was in charge and after he and his little sister was removed. Thailand was divided the most while Thaksin was in charge and his red shirt mob terrorized the country. Good riddance! Another Shinawatra is the last thing Thailand needs.

The way I understand it Thai businesses do what Thai people do. Lots of information only on fb. And often communication only with LINE. Because somehow some people think everybody likes to use fb and LINE all the time. Can you trust them? I think having a real website does not make a difference about trust. I think the question should be: Can you communicate with them the way you want? Do they give you competent answers without waiting for too long? If yes then don't worry too much about a website.

Is the whole country the problem or only she or some people? Tell her to shup up if she nags all the time. And if she doesn't do that then tell her to f#$% off. Your life won't get better if you just accept anything she does. Set the rules and the limits!

Something like this?

Luckily I am not famous and I don't want to be famous. I am sure if someone would look long enough they would also find lots of things in my past which were not 100% correct. And especially looking at behavior from 20 or more years ago and judging it with today's PC mentality. It must be hard for some of those celebrities.

Why do so many people care what one or the other actor does or like? He is an actor, not more, not less. He is no role model, not better informed, not smarter, not ... than other people. If people like him in movies that's fine. Watch those movies. And don't care what the person does or doesn't do or writes. Famous people are in general not better than others and should not be treated like role models.
