The chargers are marked on Google maps even. I find it easy. Every 300km I go for recharge
I do understand what you're saying and I respect it, by the way. My apologies if I came across as rude or combative. Not my intent, at all.

Yes they are. Assuming that Google Maps is current, there are none in Khun Yuam or in Umphang. Sure, I could drive 120 km or more round trip to recharge or I could use an appropriate vehicle and get gas within a 2 km radius. Could I make it to either destination and back in an EV? Yes. Could I wander around the area for a few days? No, not without going well out of my way or backtracking for a recharge.

isn't it funny, this kind of concern we hear only from non-ev owners ...
ev's aren't for everyone ... i am glad it is this way ...
And from people who actually wander around out of cities which, apparently, you don't.. Yes, they certainly aren't for everyone. If I actually drove at all in town ( I don't, at all) or had a penchant for visiting larger towns, certainly an EV would fit the bill.

If your plan your trip it wouldn't be any problems to charge your cars. Same as to fill the tank of your car. Also it's good to have a break after 500km on Thailand's roads. (I do this every 2-3 hours)
My last two trips were a week in Khun Yuam and a week in Umphang. The only way to plan that would be to change the destination. If I spent more time driving in town or along major highways to bigger towns, absolutely, you are correct.

People that state there's not enough CS in rural areas apparently don't get out much, or notice much when they are.
We've never had a problem, and never a major inconvenience to top up. Especially if you compare, add the time it takes to top up one's ICEV all the other times when staying local.
You and I obviously visit different parts of the country or the EV charging maps are not accurate. I suspect the former.

With a range of 500 km you won't have any problems. And to relax for an hour while charging? Why not? I'm retired. No hassle anymore.
My drives are frequently longer than 500 km and often my destinations do not have a convenient charging station. As for the hour spent charging, I prefer to take my longer breaks in an environment rather more salubrious than a roadside charging station. For me, a car is an instrument that grants me freedom. It needs to pander to my whims, not vice versa.

I only use it to on ramp and off ramp if I want to use my Thai bank accounts, and then only USDT. I'm so used to using 3Commas for trading that any exchange that does not connect to it is cumbersome. I'm also not sure how competitive Bitkub pricing is for various tokens as compared to, for instance, OKX. They might also lack liquidity for any other than mainstream tokens.

Looks good. No idea how high anything goes but I'd add a couple of RWA tokens and a meme or two.

My car is 11 months old and already it's saying that 'oil change now' warning. It has <2000km on it.
It MY2024, base engine.
Is this normal? Seems a bit quick.
Annual oil change regardless of mileage.

So, presumably, Thailand does not try in absentia?

It says that EVs are great for some lifestyles, not so ideal for others. If I ever become a 2 car family again (of me, myself and I), my primary car will be an EV. Because they're ideal for 80% of my usage. But totally unsuited for that other 20%, based on current infrastructure and my occasional road trips to the boondocks.
Until the infrastructure matures, I'll stick with ICE because it meets 99% of my needs. I still need to occasionally hire a big truck for moving stuff, even with a van in the USA and a pickup in Thailand.
But I don't hate EVs. I'm cheering them on, and hoping the technologies catch on for other uses. Like (for example) charging the car at night when the electricity is cheap, and using it to power the house when rates skyrocket during peak times. That could save a lot of us $100's on electricity every month, even if it seldom leaves the driveway. For others, it's not a benefit.
Absolutely. And I concur. What gets my goat is some of the EV militants who think their lifestyle is all that exists. If I were to drive largely in town or just take short hops, no question, EV's are far superior.

Excellent question. Answer is very few because contrary to what non EV owners think, we seldom charge anywhere other than at home. For the 1st year of my ownership, I charged at a public charging station for a total of 0 times (zero, nil). There was no need to.
So that simply means you don't venture far from home, nothing else. Consider a bicycle; they're more efficient yet.

As @scubascuba3 said, investing.com works well enough as does Google Finance. The caveat, though, is that neither will track options if that's what you're trading.

Aero of Aerodrome Finance, AR, FTM. Do keep an eye on the MCAP/FDV ratio, though, being that the newer coins still have tokens left to be released and that can dilute the market value.

Dealers will give you substantially less than market value, as others have pointed out above.
I would check the approximate value and sell privately via the Facebook groups such as Rolex Kuru.

Fortune River View. Although, as @maesariang said above, the Landmark is perhaps a better location, more central but does not have a pool.

Haha that's great! Thank you. I take back what I said.
