  1. So shops need to ask either for ID, student ID or if no visible belly for doctors certificate? Dream on, this is Thailand.... Everything's going to continue as it was and will never change Shops have solved this problem already: There is a doctor or pharmacist on duty or at least hanging some certificate on the wall that he's working there sometimes. So the consumption is for medical purpose based on his/her prescription for the symptoms of the consumer / patient,
  2. Going since 6 years to Chulalongkorn Dental hospital and very satisfied with their work. You have two options: 1. using the regular service (costly, but still effective and not expensive compared to private hospitals) 2. using the student treatment (which I always did) where you just pay the cost of materials and imaging such as xray or CT. Depending on your diagnosis you will be treated by undergraduate or graduate students under control of their supervisor. Only thing you need for this is time, because one session takes about half day and appointments are sometimes not easy to get
  3. That's the problem I mentioned. Thailand is not farang land. Convert the 2.799 GPB to THB, which is 120k and will get you two Honda Wave or one small real motorcycle. No brainer even I'd like to switch to quiet and more environmental friendly e-bikes.
  4. The problem with quality ebikes here is, no Thai is going to pay the same amount a motorcyle would cost here. No one would buy it, except a small percentage of HiSo Thais and foreigners. Therefore not even optimistic business persons have dared to import a container full of quality ebikes from China (where to 99% all brand names manufacture their bikes) and try to sell it here. Acceptable street or city e-bikes selling in Europe under 1.000 Euros, minus the profit of the seller I think you could buy them at the chinese factory for probably around 500 Euros per piece. Plus shipping and (most likely) ridiculous import taxes they are still more expensive than cheap or second hand scooters with combustion engine.
  5. Oh please, not more of this nonsense. That alcohol sales rule should have been removed since years but no politician or party has the balls to tackle it. Anyone who thinks this reduces alcohol sales or even hindering alcoholics from getting their stuff is an absolute dreamer. Every (literally every) foreigner that comes here just rolls his eyes about this stupid and obsolete law
  6. New premiere from EICMA 2022: Loncin Voge Real 5T electric scooter. Loncin respectively Voge brand has a dealer and distributor in Thailand. So the chances could be quite high, that it will be available in Thailand in the future. https://info.xcar.com.cn/202211/news_2069383_1.html https://www.facebook.com/groups/742048679576050/
  7. You should be able to transport the bike in the aircraft. But you must remove the battery before and send it with special logistics company to Thailand. Not sure how this costs
  8. Just saw this two-wheeler EV scooter on YouTube CF Motor Zeeho AE8 CF Moto is Chinese brand that has a presence in Thailand mostly with ATVs / Quads but also used to sell their motorcycles here. https://www.zeehoev.com/
  9. https://www.tatnews.org/2022/11/pattaya-international-fireworks-festival-2022-ready-to-dazzle-and-amaze/#:~:text=Bangkok%2C 15 November%2C 2022 –,over the two-day event.
  10. And yet they're wondering why no international big player from the US and Canadian cannabis industry hasn't invested in Thailand yet. Because they want long term security not Thai flip flop style
  11. I was wondering that too. How can he (one individual member) give his opinion like that? Aren't party MPs bound to their political parties direction? Unless they speak for themselves in private in private matters, not public lawsuits.
  12. The MG 4 Electric received outstanding reviews in Europe and is now being touted the best budget compact EV there (plus, not so much relevant for Thailand, they can deliver some units within this year). Given the popularity of MG here, the vast dealer network plus their own charging infrastructure this could be a real game changer.
  13. The brand has been long time in Thailand already and recently just rebranded as Sleek.
  14. And then asking government to reduce or subsidy electric bills because A/C in the house is running 24 hours. Just dumb
  15. From what I've heard the free trade agreement with Australia for beef has put local cattle farmers under enormous pressure price and quality wise. Makro and Tops have now 50% imported beef, a lot more than in the past. There might be a difference for restaurants and local Thai people that buy cheap Thai beef from old dairy cows but I refuse to eat this leather meat
  16. Nice try, putting the horses back in the stable after they bolted. In reality, no one will really care about these new regulations. There'll be the occasional crackdown with police photo OP and big PR and another chance for the BiB to collect tea money from the shops. Lucky for all international cannabis companies that hesitated to invest large sums in Thailand. They happily might go to countries with goverments you can trust such as USA, Canada, South Africa, Uruguay and many more coming soon in the future
  17. In reality, nothing is going to change. That's my two cents. For how many decades prostitution is illegal in Thailand and yet I haven't seen them closing down Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza or Pattaya Walking street...
  18. Nice, but why not MG5 as EV. Or is it maybe coming soon?
  19. I'd guess the big advertisers (Chang, Osotspa, Singha) should have enough cash reserves to pre-pay for the rights one month in advance
  20. You might try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pyypl&hl=en&gl=US
  21. Probably been scammed by the Thai employment agency. Nothing to do with Swedish labor laws
  22. How about sensible temperature settings for indoor buildings such as 25 degrees and not felt minus degrees like in some government buildings and hospitals. For long-term, insulation for wall and windows should be mandatory but I'm probably thinking too far, this is too much for Thai mindset
  23. Why Thailand doesn't do what other countries with world cup on public broadcasting institutions: play advertising and use this money to pay for the rights. Not rocket science, is it?
  24. electric or gasoline engine?
  25. I think Thai people generally feeling the influx of the wealthy 1%, that make land prices more expensive by speculation. Not actually buying the land for some purpose other than tax evasion and money laundering. It has nothing to do with a handful of foreigners wanting to own a small piece of land for their own designed home. If the government really would be interested in tackling the high land prices the should introduce proper zoning laws and a deadline in which a house must have been built an urban land for housing purposes.
