Tried this today, and agree it's like a small Twix but the caramel is all around rather than just on top.

Otto oven starts at 700bht, full size oven is 3,000bht so not that much of a consideration.

Can someone recommend a good prescription eyeglass shop in BKK?
First Zenni rule is drop down at least one level on the lens selection, a slightly thicker (cheaper) lens isn't a problem. I also use varifocals and have astigmatism ...... normally I pay $50 inc post.

The Problem With EVs
Agree, the 15 minute cities will just reprogramme your EV to stop it travelling outside their limit.

The Problem With EVs
I also have concerns about government control of everything. Your all electronic no cash modern world gives your government the chance to switch off all your access to money. Do you really believe the authorities can't switch off your ev? Smart electricity meters can also switch off your house supply. Same for phone and internet. Not so much a danger in Thailand, But the UK/US/EU/Oz could all switch off everything and make you a non-person.

The Problem With EVs
50kbht gets you 12Kwhr of battery. https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i4108131528-s16075067103.html Would point out nearly all batteries are made in China. And most of your EV was manufactured in China. Would also point out those who want to save the world should use less/consume less/waste less. Spending 1.2MBht on an EV then using loads of energy (you didn't produce) is disingenuous at best. My energy consumption is around 350 units/month, of which I produce 300 units from solar. And the reason I use so little is because I refuse to allow waste in my household.

The Problem With EVs
The car parks, ships, houses and neighbouring vehicles the EV burns with it need to be added to the insurance liability.

Human trafficking ring busted: Underage girls lured to sell virginity to Chinese investors for 200,000 baht
My 14yo Thai niece was skipping school, stole my m/c and staying out all night banging boys. She was sent back to the village where she is doing the same. There appears to be no way to stop her, but at least now I'm not responsible.

Alcohol Wholesalers Hit By Weak Holiday Season Sales
Since my hit and run accident I can't get out (1 arm still useless after 2 months) so I can't get out to buy alcohol and the law prevents them from delivering. So I just switched to cannabis, can order from home, next day delivery and 1/6 the price of alcohol.
