The best at what? They are on their way out. Electric is just getting started. Electric already produce the fastest production cars available which, while irrelevant to normal driving in so many ways, means efficiency will outpace ICE. Teslas are made so well that the testing authorities had to change their standards adding 'extra levels' to cater for their industry leading safety standard. Advances in solar will mean most commuting will be powered by parking outside. Maintenance is so simple. Many Tesla owners claim they spend more on tires than energy for the life of one set. This guy crashed a car so badly that it caught fire but escaped with minor injuries. Try that in a diesel pick up made in Chonburi.

I have a Binance account - works well. They cancelled their SWIFT gateway partnership days after I had transferred some money in. Took them two months to get a new partner and it's not set up right. However, those are my problems... They have as broad a selection of coins as you can find. Bitkub only handles a small number of coins and the transaction fees are shockingly high by comparison. I use BNB to pay for my transactions on Binance as they extend a discount to customers who do so. If you are just planning to invest and hodl (hold), then Bitkub is fine. If you want to trade, Bitkub's fees will dampen your experience. If you want to invest in newer coins, Bitkub will not support you. Crypto is risky and exceptionally volatile. If you are trading, you will loose sleep. It is a 24/7 market so you have no time to unplug. It is important to have set triggers and alarms otherwise you will miss out. I am hodling so I ignore the daily volatility. I am up 75% across my port - 300% on some smaller coins. If you want to invest and trade but don't want the stress, I suggest you sign up at eToro.com and buy into the CryptoEqual fund. I am up 30% since May.

The wheels are starting to turn here. It's your choice, but you might find a little extra patience saves you hassle of flying and getting back in...

I registered with ExpatVac the day it was spun up. No response from them, but BCCT kicked the tires for me just this Monday and I got my first AZ jab this afternoon at SCG Bang Sue. There were thousands there, all under various different schemes; ExpatVac/BCCT, BMA, and others whose names I did not catch while waiting for the overworked security guard to tell me where to go. The entire process, front door to getting a cab home, took me 75 minutes. I very much doubt that the Thais waiting in the BMA queue got processed that fast. Were the performance slower today, I'd still be grateful for it taking place. It could be argued I should not have had to wait so long to be registered - all registrations accepted and sorted by age rather than there being a Thai queue and a non-Thai queue. However, at the end of the day, the machine is oiled and working and the volume of people through it seems to be rising. The staff I talked to said they were processing more people per day each day. Ironically I received a mail from MedPark this morning offering me Pfizer yesterday or today. Not sure how that would work, but as I live close to Bang Sue I took the AZ and will wait until Nov 19 to get my second jab. I am not considering a self-diagnosed mix-n-match at this time, although preliminary tests suggest the two combine well. (https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/features/covid-19-vaccine-mixing-astrazeneca-pfizer/) It is unclear about getting a certificate here if one mixes vaccines.

Massive shoutout to BCCT. I mailed them on Saturday 21. They responded on the same day and had arranged my jab of AZ by end-of-day Monday. My appointment is this Friday. I don't understand the complaints. BCCT is a members-only organisation that has decided to assist any and all where it can. That is not the same as being required to ensure a win for all. It will assist all those it has capacity to assist, and clearly when it can, it amazingly effective and efficient. Their capacity is limited and so they will focus on where they can be most effective. If you choose to live away from the noise and mess of a major city, don't expect the same levels of service-accessibility as a provincial capital or Bangkok. It would be irrational to do so. Thailand's medical facilities and the organisations that are assisting are not focused on your individual needs. They are logically required to focus on where the majority of people and facilities are.
