Sounds like BS to me, can't believe many women in the UK suffer any of that (except in their minds). But I'd certainly be happy to take the risk, gotta be better than having to work for everything I have.

Why wasn't I born a white woman? .............. Where I can pop a couple of kids and never have to work again, with a free house, free pension, free money and free sex whenever I want it. A life where I never have to work unless I feel like it.

Agreed, I'm sleeping with a better looking woman than Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates ............ And I won't need to give her $20B if I get fed up with her.

And ease of repair. I was also watching videos stating the CalB battery specs were designed for extreme high level fast charge/discharge cycles, and putting them in solar arrays where you get very slow charge/discharge stressed the batteries so little they were likely to last well beyond their rated life. Which made sense to me.

These started turning up a few weeks back @ 22KBht for a 24V pack. https://shopee.co.th/BYD-LiFePO4-แบตเตอรี่ลิเทียมฟอสเฟส-ยี่ห้อ-BYD-ขนาด-1P8S-24v-200Ah-เป็นโมดูลสำเร็จรูป-ใส่แต่-BMS-ใช้งานได้ทันที-i.35505682.14540739849 I contacted one place that said they were new, you need two of them for a 48V battery (50KBht) https://shopee.co.th/BYD-LiFePO4-แบตเตอรี่ลิเทียมฟอสเฟส-ยี่ห้อ-BYD-ขนาด-1P16S-48v-260Ah-เป็นโมดูลสำเร็จรูป-ใส่JKBMSมีActive-2A-ใช้งานได้ทันที-i.35505682.10250909131 Not sure how easy it would be to replace a cell that went bad, so I decided to save 20KBht by using the CalB batteries. And if one cell fails, I know it will only cost me 1,500bht to fix the CalB 48V pack. Don't know how hard it would be to pull one cell out of a BYD 24V pack, or even if I could get a single replacement cell. Up to you really.

Risin have a lot of good 'breaker' stuff at great prices, free delivery and fast from China. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i2867374375-s10463770614.html My Inverter cleared China customs today, not fast as they took 7 days to dispatch. No great rush, another 8 Lifepo4 cells arriving tomorrow. Will need 4 more after that. Batteries seem decent enough, will need load tests to discover their true capacity. I'll probably wait until i have all 16, as they seem to arrive all with the same Voltage from the shop, and I don't want to risk mixing things up too much.

I probably would of when she was still an 18yo university student.

Agreed, I hardly ever eat Thai food, low quality ingredients, packed with salt, sugar and MSG. I never ate Thai food when I was in other countries either. Indian, Mexican and Chinese were always my take-away of choice. Can't say I've ever noticed a lack of ingredients for home cooking though. Everything I want is available, usually for a reasonable price.

middle class, middle aged, woke single female lesbian warriors. Back in the day (1970s) Sussex University invented all of that to the extreme. I'd actually considered learning there, but the 'right on' interview frightened me off. Nice campus though, Brighton was my home town. Top Rank Suite, dancing, ice skating, cinema complex, Hungry Years hippy druggy scene, live rock concerts at The Dome, I had an amazing and entitled childhood and teen years there in the late 60s and 70s.

Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines all just as safe and similar scenes. I'd be happy to live in either country, cheap women, cheap booze, cannabis, tropical climate, easy VISA. I just acquired my baggage in Thailand first, even though the VISA is not so easy now. If I were to start it (the expat/sexpat life) now, I suspect I'd be living in Baretto, Olongapo, Philippines. No regrets about Thailand though, I'm happy enough here, but it's become easier elsewhere.

16,000GBP ....... I'm living quite happily on 12,000GBP with my family (45KBht/month).

That's true, but by 45 they are no longer attractive. Good fun for a few weeks though.

Enough parts arrived to build my first 12V Lifepo4 200AH battery. So the CALB terminals are M8, and the Daly 4s terminals are M6 .... search my bag of nuts/bolts/washers. It only connects easily upside down .......... (Frankenstein would be proud) Downloaded the app for my phone, connected the balance terminals and checked the voltages went up in 3.3V increments. 0V on black to red wire 1 3.3V, wire 2 6.6V, wire 3 9.9V, wire 4 13.2V ..... all seemed good, so plugged in the balance plug. Didn't bother initialising the BMS as there was a button on the Bluetooth dongle to switch it on. Came up on my phone the moment I selected the Daly app. Now if only I had a 12V load to test it all out with. Never mind it ll appears to work off load, all the info is there, can change parameters, etc.

Hospitals are being a little odd at the moment. My MiL was taken to hospital by ambulance in the early hours of this morning. My woman went with her, was allowed into the emergency dept, but not allowed into the room, patients only. I had to go and collect her at 4am, no visitors allowed in the wards, they say COVID precautions.

When I left the UK for Thailand age 52, I gave my son my 1100cc Yamaha Bulldog. I've had a full UK m/c licence from age 19.

Desperate times, my woman claims everyone she knows (family and friends) are totally broke. And the schools now want everyone to pay for ATK tests (150bht) on their kids every week before they're allowed into school.

You should check out "Daisuki by Lolita" in Chiang Mai ............ Join their LINE group for full information and a menu. 500bht extra topless, 1,000bht extra naked.

Not actually a journalist but ......... "Sarah Scuzzarello (PhD Lund University) is a Lecturer at the Department of Geography and a Research Fellow at the Sussex Centre for Migration Research (SCMR). Her research focuses mainly on 1. gender and transnationalism and 2. comparative politics of migration and integration."

Behind Tesco mega-store on the inner ring road, near the River Ping. About 50 small/medium stores. 3-6 Large plant stores and supplies before San Sai hospital in MaeJo. Both sides of the road.

Just watched and enjoyed it. Didn't view it as a box ticker in any way, it fairly reflected the population of modern day London IMHO. The only error being everyone living in nice houses/boats/apartments. (None of which I could afford)

I made it back to Thailand with 25 minutes to spare the night they closed the borders.

And lawyers ..........

That's OK with me. BUT, you'll have to fight my woman for it. I'm not bothered about what happens to my money after I'm dead.

The only think that stopped me travelling was Thailand closing it's borders.

Sounds more like mental illness/Yaba to me.
