  1. and of course everything printed in the sun is the truth and the whole truth, i double check the date printed at the top
  2. just like your advice, another friendly poster on AN, why post it when it is wrong
  3. with all these international laws, there is no need for the MP's to make laws then. there are very few genuine asylum seeks entering the UK via France, and if they are then they should apply in Europe before reaching the UK, in my view they need locking in detention camps and their asylum claims dealt with there and then sending back where they came from, the French are taking the p**s,
  4. never heard of an extension being stapled in the passport, stamped in is the norm, also no mention of a tm30
  5. some nice Thai restaurants in Ban Chang/Phala area, Phala beach is good, Lotus's needs a refresh, but some good well priced local Thai shops are available in Phala, a couple of shops to get expat foods, fresh produce is in several locations, Robinsons mall is a new addition, nearest Makro is in Sattahip as well as a large big C with food outlets, Suk can be avoided, as you get closer to Rayong they are in the process of upgrading it to a wider concrete road, Sattahip to beyond Ban chang with some new overpasses is completed
  6. live tv is harder to find, with quite a bit of buffering and of course due to the time difference its not so convenient. use a torrent site to find the links such as YTS; 1337x; RARBG; The Pirate Bay (TPB); EZTV; TorrentGalaxy and then use a program to download to your computer, such as uTorrent, BitTorrent; Bitport; qBittorrent; Vuze; BitComet; Transmission
  7. you need an Android box or a fire stick, but not plug and play will need some apps adding and setting up, will also need updating periodically. get the best box you can afford, do some you tube research.
  8. once the forms (CNI )are obtained from your embassy, they together with a translation of both your passports need to be taken to the MFA ministry of foreign affairs in Bangkok, where they are stamped and certified, make several copies of everything, the local Amphur will take possession of the the CNI so make sure you have copies, the amphur can provide the witnesses, choose an amphur that is familiar with foreign residents. best of luck, an agent in Bangkok may make the process of MFA involvement easier.
  9. no it doesn't, we have a Bangkok registered car with an address in Rayong, bought new from Bangkok, we also have a Bangkok registered motorcycle, with an address in Rayong we also have a car registered in Chon buri with an address in Rayong, recently our address changed from chon buri to Rayong, wife changed the address in the Pattaya DLT
  10. so not a shared path and a one way street, i think shw will win the appeal
  11. the article does not say its a shared path, in fact it posted ''The trial was told that police could not "categorically" state whether the pavement was a shared cycleway.'' and '' Cambridgeshire County Council subsequently reiterated that and said it would review the location, but in his sentencing remarks Judge Sean Enright said it was a shared cycleway.'' so the judge stated it was a shared path, but against what the police and the council have stated, that must be grounds for an appeal, either the council have made it a shared path or not, signs etc should show one way or another.
  12. I am with you on that, he and the women he left his wife for, are not well liked by lots of the country, save the tax payers money, save the monarchy and abdicate to a foreign land ( a bit like his uncle did) and let William reignite the love for the monarchy that his grandmother enjoyed
  13. so your thinking that over 18years, the car will pay for it self in saved petrol. so the running costs will be wear and tear on tyres and parts, not sure about the money saved to be used buying a new car at 18 years in the future prices, but i get your point, what sort of mileage do you expect to drive in those 18 years to save the 1million? 20,000km per year
  14. no i am not saying that and my post doesn't imply that, the gym is open to all and when you took on the condo, you were fully aware of the associated costs of the gym and all the communal areas, not someone plugging in a privately owned electric draining device for personal use ( phones and tablets are a minimum drain) if the scooters were communal that would a different matter, when would personal devices become over the top, EV motor-cycles, or EV cars,etc. i refer back to my post on extensions leads to run kitchen appliances would that be taking the p**s or would that be acceptable to you, at some point the people will be seen as taking the p**s, given an inch they will want a mile. it will never affect me, but why should others pay for other peoples EV's to be charged
  15. looking at all the pros and con for an EV as opposed to an ICE machine, i think battery costs as highlighted in the BYD crash, are prohibitive, yes some come with a long warranty, and yes advances in the future will make them cheaper and extend the distances between charges, but that's in the future, not know, and in the future EV may be replaced by the next advancement, (look at cd's replaced bu mp3's) but at some time everyone buying an EV vehicle now to keep long term, will need a new battery sometime in their ownership, and that comes at a huge cost, also taking into account the charging of the vehicle, queues on motorways waiting for chargers etc, ICE is well tried and tested, and has been around for a 100 years, all these points are why i choose a new ICE car over EV, i still think nearly a year later i made the right choice, regardless of all i posted above, it may make sense for some owners to go EV, as in the op 's case, but looking at the cheapest EV that is fit for purpose would be the way to go, almost a disposable vehicle after a set number of years.
  16. hybrid i think the best value would be the MGEP, in the 700,000thb range, the zs is in the 900,000+ range, the good cat is no longer having orders placed, due to demand but again in the 900,000thb range i believe, the really cheap ev vehicles are not road legal, the volt city ev is for the 4 door 385,000 or 425,000thb, not sure is they can be registered, or if they are safe enough especially if carrying children
  17. so lets plug an extension lead in, and run the air fryer and fridge
  18. but how long is the licence valid for, less than 5 years or more than 5 years??
  19. it seems to be a difference of opinion, it seems one is from personal experience, the other ''it will'' so a guess
  20. my wife changed address in Pattaya office to a Rayong address for a car registered in chon buri, another car registered in Bangkok has a Rayong address in the book, so can be done but needs to be done in the dlt where the vehicle is registered,
