open / not secure

The pickup trucks  for rent at SP are not enclosed..I don't recall seeing anywhere that rents out "panel vans"  or "Transit" vans as we call them in the UK..even the  big 6 wheelers that come with driver are open topped ..they just throw a tarpaulin over  and tie it down to keep rain out ( a bit)

So what might they bring to Asia, and when?

There was/is talk of a new battery  and EV plant in the Eastern Economic corridor ( Chonburi)

I don't think fully electric is viable yet...the battery technology has not improved much, range is low there are no charging stations,charging takes too long,the vehicles are expensive,batteries don't last anywhere near an engine does and are expensive to replace,producing the electricity to charge the batteries comes from ?

Why don't they make/produce/develop an on demand in car hydrogen fuel cell..

which just uses water as fuel ?

could either run a conventional engine or produce electricity for an all electric , cheap fuel quick and easy to top up the water tank..only produces enough hydrogen to run the car so no need to store it in a dangerous canister.

Do we have to get together to transfer the title?

No you just need  her to sign a copy of ID card, the blue book,transfer form and a

"power of attorney form" then goto your local main DLT and do all the changes there or pay an agent to do it for you..(but you still need the correct paperwork) print forms front and back on same sheet of paper not 2 separate pieces.

there were more Westerners and Chinese there than Thais

Lots of Thais go to Pattaya at the weekends...whenever I look I always see more Thais than westerners or Chinese after all T.i.T

Only if it burned with a deep, purple flame.

Ha Ha   yes my bad   Deep Purple not Led Zeppelin...

My missus dropped some of that on the drain cover outside last night
Nasty business. 
 

Got no pics of mine - or bikes for that matter.
Went to see Led Zeppelin in Vancouver.
Came home and neighbor burned down his house and mine to.

"Hands up" and "Rasputin" are maybe more popular Boney M songs in Pattaya.

yes we have very healthy chocolate raisin bread and cream filled buns for the main meal, like we serve in our 7/11's. 

"Ja rup sarapow perm mai Ka ?"   they don't say that very often any more.

You mean you think they "were".

Ok  you say the persons who turned up to interview you where not police..but turned up with immigration badges and jackets ...who do you think they where if they where not immigration police ?

When they came to our place I think they turned up in a black unmarked saloon car, they all wore casual clothes with Immigration jackets..they had ( one copy of ) the paperwork I had submitted to the immigration office..this year they didn't actually show me their police badge like they do in the movies ( they did last year) I believe they where immigration police but now start to wonder ?

????????

small holiday resort, I could potter about changing light bulbs  etc have a beer with  visitors  etc  but it all turned very very sour

"Sour" yes it would have, seeing as you wouldn't have a work permit for such work..so at least a silver lining is that you didn't get "dobbed in"  arrested and deported/blacklisted.

Sell the land and house for a "knock down" price if a quick sale is required.. be rid of bad memories and further maintenance costs...no point knocking it down just costs you more money.

And before the "super duper" beach renovation.

This advert from years ago..aired briefly on Thai TV

 still trying to find out who the add was for.

They always had pickup trucks parked there every time I drive past..I rented one from them years ago and drove it to Chaingmai.

If you want a bigger truck then look around for the sighs  stuck on lampposts/electricity posts

"4-6 lor rup jarng"   that means a 4 -6 wheeler truck for hire  but these will come with driver and maybe helper to help you move.

Here is one place to try...been there years and years..so maybe doing something right ?

I've read time and again that Chonburi and Banglamung ( Pattaya ) DLT do not except yellow books.
