In cities, banning ICE vehicles and burning, like BBQ vendors, makes a lot of sense. You remove millions of pollution producers and replace them with a handful of powerful polluters outside the cities. This way cities produce little air pollution themselves. Now you go to cap pollution on these few large targets, where small actions bring large effects. Particle filters in thermal power plants, as well as capturing the CO2 and redirecting it to greenhouses to increase growth, and using heat generated for some other benefits, like supplying hot water nearby so residences no longer require water heaters, etc. There are many things that could be done. But challenges remain the large scale burning of agricultural land and forest clearing, which cause environmental devastation and vast amounts of air pollution. But Indonesia, when there was still political will, did a lot about that. By using satellites to identify fires, and penalise land owners by banning use or confiscation of land for repeat offenders. There are ways. But is Thailand having a political will beyond signing a piece of paper to put anything into practice? Yet to see, but not holding my breath.

Same as what Trump did to Chinese imports.

Duplicate.

I'll recheck that. I was just there a few of weeks back - to repair a botched battery replacement done by Huawei service center in Fortune Town, Bangkok.

"Scherr acknowledged the difficulty -- and cost -- of maintaining the EV fleet during the Q3 earnings call recognizing that collision repairs to EVs "can often run about twice that of a comparable combustion engine vehicle."" They could have saved even more if they stopped renting to id!ots who can't drive.

Diamond Pharmacy (Petcharat Pharmacy) opposite entrance to Siriraj hospital, in Soi Siriraj... that's just across the river from Grand Palace. Big, purple place. Can't miss it. If they are closed for whatever reason, there's another pharmacy right next to it (and then some more) where you can ask as well. From experience so far, their prices are the same, but Petcharat certainly looks the best of all.

Yes, like there's absolutely no police in Pattaya and they never check anyone's documents, also it's right next to the airport and nothing could ever happen between there and the immigration desk at Swampy. I wonder if you'd be happy dealing with police on overstay instead?

Not sure about your model, but if phone needs to be taken apart to replace battery, the Huawei service center at Central Si Racha (some 20km north of Pattaya) is probably the best Huawei service center in Thailand.

Of course if he had a police checkpoint or an accident on the way to the airport, it would be very different. Nobody wants to mention that?

"Twentyfiveteen" is such a divisive number! I would have otherwise expected it to drop significantly (like to 0) at Twenty...

Maybe you. Now please start paying child support to bank account number ..........

And for as long as Thailand is full of losers who couldn't get into anyone's panties without widely opening their wallets, or whatever modern digital alternative might be, this is set to continue...

No fireball after impact? EV haters are going to hate this!

I find the last paragraph of linked article interesting... During the arrest, the police retrieved an iPhone 14 Pro, described as purple, among eight other pieces of evidence. Interestingly, among the nine pieces of evidence gathered, the reported 10,000 baht in cash and the hotel key were not listed. I don't want to speculate what happened with them...

Not sure you're considered a tourist, staying over half a year in country. But then, that could be fixed by simply returning to 180 days per year maximum stay in Thailand without non-immigrant visa.

Does it bite if it finds a sausage? Maybe that's Yanhee surgeon dog...

It is when it's actually a seat cushion loaded with drugs...

AseanNow surely knows how to match cover photos with stories... There's one on a British Man, too. But it's against the rules to discuss fellow members...

Sometimes jokes write themselves.

I protest. He's all BUT the shell...

Who were the people coming off the plane in linked article photos then?

With all due respect, his English is still much better than your Thai. And same goes for all other posters mocking the wrong words in original post. Thaiger obviously could afford to hire proofreaders. But would you guys be willing to pay for your news?

Was this cabbie one of those complaining how "illegal app drivers" are destroying the reputation of Phuket?

There were warnings when switch from light rail to mono rail happened some years back, that monorail wasn't supposed to run such long distances and there will be frequent maintenance requirements, which wouldn't make it economical to run. But savings in construction were substantial and that's what went ahead. Someone correct me if my memory is acting up. Anyway - the power rails falling off was probably not part of the initial discussion on maintenance costs. It's probably got something to do about quality of workmanship in installing those rails...

Dare to start with Lazada?
